cromen to fill in for FaZe in Belo Horizonte

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.
