Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken (born November 14, 1999) is a Canadian professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player for FaZe Clan. Prior to joining the former in January 2021, he most famously played for Team Liquid from April 2017 to December 2020, winning the second Intel Grand Slam in 2019. Twistzz resides in Germany.

He began playing video games with his dad and his first FPS game was Quake. After his father moved away, Twistzz started playing games for longer periods of time. Twistzz and his mom eventually moved in with her boyfriend and Twistzz started playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). His mom's boyfriend started verbally abusing Twistzz which stalled his progress in CS:GO. In 2014 his mom chose to leave her boyfriend and Twistzz was able to make progress in CS:GO once again. His mom was supportive of him playing CS:GO because she was aware of where he was at all times.
