Player of the day: Håvard "rain" Nygaard

The 27-year-old rifler from Norway is our player of the day. With a 1.40 Rating against BIG, rain stepped up huge and was the MVP of the series, and ensured FaZe would be into the Lower semi-final. FaZe began to take over the game, rain in particular find opening kills to drive his team to win nine of the next 10 rounds. Against Astralis, rain once again stepped up for his team with a stellar performance.

rain managed to find kills and lead his team when things looked dire and provided huge numbers on the leaderboard himself. Despite facing a challenging Astralis roster, he managed to best everyone on the two first maps. Even though he didn't perform as well on Dust 2, he was a big threat against Astralis in the B03.
