It is almost impossible to keep count on the times that Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer Gustafsson has been in and out of the FaZe roster.
The former number 1 in the world was once again benched at the beginning of this year when FaZe brought in Robin “ropz” Kool to the team. Unfortunately for FaZe, the young Estonian has been tested positive for Covid-19 and is set to miss out on the beginning of IEM Katowice.
ropz will miss initial stages of IEM Katowice
It was expected that olofmeister, who is still on the bench for FaZe, would be the natural stand-in, as the two players almost completely plays the same positions on the team. But today the Swede announced, that he would not be the fifth player for FaZe at the event.
Ah shit here we not go again
I’m traveling to New York tomorrow ( as long as my pcr test is negative ) so no Katowice for me
Feel bad for the guys and even worse for ropz, hopefully he recovers fast and can join them later in the tournament! pic.twitter.com/c333BYYgdI
