rain will return to FaZe Clan before the start of IEM Katowice 2023
The FaZe Clan team submitted to the organizers their application for participation in IEM Katowice 2023. The main surprise was the appearance of rain in the starting lineup, who will return to the team a few weeks after the birth of a child. Recall that the 28-year-old Norwegian misses BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 due to the birth of a child.
Rain originally took a leave of absence to help his wife during the birth of their child. However, apparently, the Norwegian is ready to return to the server and play at the iconic championship in Katowice. This will be the first visit to Spodek Arena in several years for an esportsman who missed last year's tournament due to illness.
In addition to rain, head coach RobbaN will join the team. The Swedish specialist is also missing BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 for personal reasons, and it is not known if the coach will return to his players at the end of the event.
Meanwhile, FaZe Clan continues its performances in the group stage of BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, where it has already won two victories. It is noteworthy that after the forced departure of rain, the team had to look for an emergency replacement. At first, the club agreed with the organizers and k0nfig, but soon BLAST banned the addition of the Dane to FaZe Clan. However, the team found a replacement in the person of es3tag, with whom they had a very successful start at the event.
The approved composition of FaZe Clan for participation in IEM Katowice 2023:
- rain
- Broky
- Twistzz
- carrigan
- ropz
- RobbaN (head coach)
FaZe Clan will start their journey at IEM Katowice 2023 from the group stage, where they got a ticket last season thanks to the victory at IEM Cologne 2022. The team got into group A, which also includes Team Liquid, Natus Vincere and G2 Esports.
