Video: The story of rain
FaZe’s Norwegian FPS monster has been a fixture of competitive CS:GO since the game’s release.
The world of Counter-Strike is a fluid one as teams rise and fall, players come and go, and organizations get bought and sold. But in the midst of the chaos, there are a few names that remain solid as the sky, who no matter what’s happening around them, remain right as rain.
FaZe’s Håvard “rain” Nygaard is exactly one of those types of players. The 27-year-old Norwegian has been a fixture of competitive CS:GO since the game’s release. But rain hasn’t simply remained faithful to the game as FaZe’s longest-lasting member, he has become a pillar of a roster that has gone through several lineup and ownership changes over the past few years. And in the eye of that storm, rain has been indelible.
This is the story of the Norwegian FPS monster.
