   From EWC Champions to Three Rebuilds in a Year - An Interview with Twister of Team Secret

   As a title-winning coach, Twister has seen it all. The highs of lifting a tropy at EWC 2025 and taking FaZe to the brink at SI '26... And the lows of finishing 10th in the stage just after. One thing that is very evident is his love for team culture and having a solid vision on how a team should be structured. We hope you enjoy the chat!
