rain to miss BLAST Premier Spring Groups

18/1/2023 - 20:15

Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard will miss his first tournament since IEM Katowice 2022.

FaZe have announced that rain will be taking a step back for the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Groups in anticipation of his child's birth.

The Norwegian, who was named the 13th best player of 2022, will sit out his first tournament since IEM Katowice 2022, where he was replaced by Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage in the latter stages of the event.

rain is set to miss the opening event of the season

Coach Robert "⁠RobbaN⁠" Dahlström will also be unable to stand behind FaZe in their BLAST Spring Groups matches this week, with his return anticipated to be between next week or ahead of IEM Katowice at the latest.

FaZe have not revealed who will replace rain at the Copenhagen event, saying they will announce further roster news closer to their first match in Group B against Complexity, which will take place on Friday at 12:00 .

Isn't k0nfig a sub for Heroic?

2023-01-18 23:09

they registered olof as a sub this event, it's most likely him again

2023-01-18 20:26

jks, they get a stand in while also crippling their competition.

2023-01-18 20:18

my guess is konfig aswell

Danish stand in

Snax? copium

Olof will stand in for the Norwegian MONSTA

Didn't he already have a child born last year? Is this the second?

2023-01-18 20:20

No, this is his first

it better be k0nfig, i dont like FaZe at all, but i hope k0nfig gets a change to play for them

k0nfig traveled to a similar looking hotel like blamef so its very probable

2023-01-18 22:45

Congrats to rain on becoming a father! :) Now next up, let's see who the 5th member will be!

k0nfig for sure

Yes

2023-01-18 20:27

for the admins: what happens to fantasy teams including rain?

he gets replaced with whoever subs for him, probably k0nfig

It's so annoying, because Faze is not going to reveal the sub before the fantasy teams lock in most likely.

Faze with a Stand-in ? Easy win.

2023-01-18 20:47

Welcome FaZe ChrisJ

2023-01-18 20:50

If the stand-in is anyone else other than k0nfig, then it’s straight up wrong

2023-01-18 20:51

Hopefully his kid will be healthy and rain will be back on server asap. Gl konfig

2023-01-18 20:53

Olof ez faze era

GOAT rain, his kid will be the next rain 4sure <3

2023-01-18 20:57

Isn't Olaf the designated 6th player? To save money they may draft him in. As rain is entry it would be better to have Forrest or Konfig to stand-in.

rain and katowice welcome c00mfig

papa congratz

Child. That means no more pro CS for rain. It was nice while it lasted. He will not be forgotten.

2023-01-18 23:47

I'd actually like to see someone pick up Loba for a tournament run.

2023-01-19 01:05

GL rain!

2023-01-19 03:37

Damn, at least we have time to change our fantasy rosters. I hate these last minute changes, the teams know 100% 1 week before the event that a certain player will not participate, yet it's always announced in the last possible moment.
