Team Peps replace DPS duo as they prepare for FACEIT League
Team Peps have announced the departures of Leo-Kristian "Zorrow" Sundin and Florian "Dip" Lefèvre and unveiled the signings of Daniel "xzodyal" Castro and Oliver "Rav" as their replacements. The French organisation also brought back tank player Loïc "KroxZ" Ricci (playing under the name krokz) to complement the team's existing core ahead of FACEIT League Master Season 9.
The roster moves come two weeks after Telacy swept Team Peps 3-0 in the OWCS EMEA Stage 1 Promotion/Relegation tournament, making Team Peps the first OWCS Partner Team to be relegated from the OWCS. Zorrow, Team Sweden’s hitscan specialist and France national, Dip, formed the team's DPS core throughout 2025 Stage 3 and 2026 Stage 1. Stepping in are xzodyal, currently Team Spain’s hitscan player, and Rav, a young Danish flex-DPS prospect who’s currently also representing Team Denmark in the OWWC.
The rest of the squad remains intact. Brice "FDGod" Monsçavoir, Benjamin "Xeriongdh" Nambruide, and William "WillyS" Ersson all stay on, with Terence "SoOn" Tarlier officially moving to a coaching role, preserving the team's experienced core. KroxZ's re-signing adds further depth to the tank lineup alongside WillyS.
Team Peps will now need to navigate FACEIT League Master Season 9 and finish in the top two to earn a spot in the Stage 2 Promotion/Relegation tournament in August — their route back to OWCS.
