cromen to fill in for FaZe in Belo Horizonte

8/6/2018 - 17:36

Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen will be FaZe's fifth player at ESL One Belo Horizonte, Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač has revealed.

The Norwegian talent will replace Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer, who has decided to extend his personal leave of absence after concluding that he was not yet ready to return to action.

This will be the second tournament in a row that cromen will attend with FaZe, after being called to play for the team at the ECS Season 5 Finals, which began earlier on Friday.

cromen will play for FaZe in Belo Horizonte

The 23-year-old, who earned his first shot at international Counter-Strike with dignitas last year, recently filled in for Heroic at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals and at DreamHack Open Austin, putting in an average 1.14 rating in Dallas.

ESL One Belo Horizonte will run from June 13-17 at the Mineirinho Arena, with $200,000 on the line. FaZe have been drawn in Group A, alongside SK, Space Soldiers and Torqued, with their first match pitting them against the North American side.

This means that FaZe will attend the Brazilian event with:

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen
Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač
Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard
Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács
Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen (stand-in)

Robert "⁠RobbaN⁠" Dahlström (coach)

Good, better than horvey or whatever his name is. btw calm down brazilians, no need to spam NiKo on twitter wtf...

A cheat is when you sneak extra blue LEDs into the LAN to make your computer faster. So lebron did that with the basketball.

wtf how is that even legal, people who do that should get life in prison tbh

2018-06-08 18:26

Yes. Match fixing should have a death penalty because it's even worse. That's when you bring tools into the LAN and fix the computer they gave you so you don't have any problems.

Honestly cromen is a prodigy

True af

2018-06-08 17:45

Not really he's 23 if I'm not mistaken. Good player but not a prodigy. Not young enough to be a prodigy.

2018-06-08 17:54

Was not aware that he is 23. So I'll have to agree. He really stands out from all other upcoming players though by being both more mechanically skilled and reliable

2018-06-08 17:56

when he played for NOREG he outplayed Faze hard in a scrim, that shit team 15-15 v faze, i know its a scrim but anyway :D his personal skill lvl is definetly insane

2018-06-08 18:19

Repost?

they didn't knew how to kick xizt , so they decided to make like olof is coming back

Hahaha

true

2018-06-08 17:42

Unlikely because xizt's Fnatic move was announced at the same time basically. And even if FaZe is better team, for the aging pro player long term contract is preferable ;-)

expected, leaked

Honestly I think Cromen is criminally underrated given his potential and overall skill-cap. I hope FaZe can showcase how talented Cromen is so he can be available for high-tier teams, as I think he deserves it! Best of luck, Cromen!!! :)

2018-06-08 17:40

agreed =)

Could have taken frozen or ZyWoo but hey...

Hello OfficialHLTVGrammarCorrector from the Czech Republic, ZywOo and frozen don't have enough experience on the top, while cromen has been a stand-in for Heroic and was the best player for the team. cromen has also played with Team Dignitas some time ago.

2018-06-08 17:50

Yes, Mr. Krafko hailing from the wonderful country of Slovakia, frozen and ZyWoo do not have much experience but at the same time the can click and destroy. cromen is not really the type of a player that would fit the already pretty shoddy FaZe lineup where they have to adjust everything for the stand-in. The best player that could help the in the current situation is someone with great individual skill that can basically work as a turret like s1mple for example. These two have insane reactions and great skill and individual awareness. It definitely could work.

2018-06-08 19:35

I can see ZywOo working out a little bit, but frozen is inconsistent and would probably have a lot of pressure on him.

Cromen is a better option than both Frozen and Zywoo.

inb4 cromen: "I will not play for FaZe, they are a bunch of egotistical idiots"

Well, good choice for sure! Good luck fellas, but not against my teams :) We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

What six players ? Cromen horvy niko rain guardian bot

2018-06-08 18:06

FaZe main problem is that they don't want to bench olofmeister. If they just sign NBK and he does well - why not to keep him? He wants to play on an international team, so it's either mouz or FaZe. Why not??? olofmeister fucks everything up with his stuff and he's not even a key player, they managed to defeat Astralis with fucking xizt.
