CS:GO insider: rain may take an extended break in 2023
Håvard "rain" Nygaard lost to G2 doing the Semi-Final at BLAST Premier World Final just 12 days ago.
Rumors are stating that the 28-year-old might take a long break due to childbirth.
According to the source "Alexey OverDrive" Biryukov, will Håvard "rain" Nygaard be replaced by a Russian stand-in.
"They say rain will go on a long vacation because he will have a baby. FaZe will have a stand-in. Possibly, a Russian one. But It's all still up in the air and unconfirmed, but very Interesting what the outcome would be" - OverDrive said in his telegram.
OverDrive warned that the rumor about rain and the stand-in should be taken with a grain of salt, as rain is much needed on the FaZe roster doing the start of the 2023 season.
FaZe clan managed to take home four trophies doing the 2022 season. PGL Major Antwerp 2022 is the most notable tournament. Håvard "rain" Nygaard was crowned as the MVP throughout the PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
