Twistzz chooses Alliance player as his Bold prediction for 2026

FaZe's Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken chose young Swedish player Alex "⁠poiii⁠" Nyholm Sundgren from Alliance as his Bold prediction for HLTV.org.

The 19-year-old Sundgren recorded a rating of 1.15 in six months with Alliance. Rumors suggest he could join the 100 Thieves roster. "If the rumors are true, I think poiii will be in a great environment to grow and develop as a player for the upcoming years", – Twistzz explained his choice.

Notably, as part of its traditional Bold prediction series, the editorial team of the authoritative portal HLTV.org is asking esports athletes ranked in the top 20 at the end of the year to name one player who, in their opinion, will excel at the highest level in Counter-Strike 2. The candidate must meet two criteria: they have not yet played for a team in the top 20 in the world ranking, and they must be under 20 years old.

Twistzz sits 11th in HLTV.org's ranking of the best players on the pro Counter-Strike 2 scene in 2025. Van Dulken's average rating at the end of the year amounted to 1.17.
