rain and RobbaN will return to FaZe at IEM Katowice
The player and coach finished their break.
The team announced the return of the player and coach on their Twitter. Also, rain and RobbaN missed the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023. Then, Patrick es3tag Hansen replaced rain and Edward Eddie Han took RobbaN's place.
How did FaZe perform without rain?
Before BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, rain announced that he would take a break due to the birth of his child. Afterward, FaZe replaced him with es3tag, who played the event until the end. But how did they perform?
The result was ideal for FaZe. The team came out of the group in first place even with a stand-in, losing only one match. FaZe historically performs well with stand-ins and is the only club to win four major events with a replacement.
Talking about the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, it's worth mentioning how brilliantly FaZe uses stand-ins. The team indeed puts in a lot of work, and this is reflected in the statistics. es3tag felt very comfortable at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 and finished the event with an average rating of 6.3.
This is an incredible level for a player who suddenly came to the team. And most importantly, this was happening with all the FaZe stand-ins. The team clearly has some kind of scenario in case of the absence of one of the main roster players, which leads to such results.
What can we expect from FaZe at IEM Katowice?
Now FaZe returned to its main lineup and is ready for a new event which is very important for the team. Firstly, IEM Katowice is one of the most prestigious CS:GO tournaments with a great history. Only one team has won it twice in a row, and FaZe can repeat the achievement.
Secondly, the team only needs to win one more event from ESL to take the Intel Grand Slam and become the fourth team in history to do so. This can happen at IEM Katowice 2023.
Most importantly, FaZe is one of the favorites of the tournament after the results of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, and their main European rival will be G2, who have maintained their form after winning the BLAST Premier World Final 2022.
FaZe have every chance to win IEM Katowice for the second time in a row, and it will be interesting to watch their path.
When do FaZe play?
FaZe will start playing at IEM Katowice 2023 today, their first opponent will be Spirit. All information about the tournament can be found on its page.
