rain to stand in for FaZe at ESL Pro League Season 22

Esports organization FaZe announced the temporary return of Håvard "rain" Nygaard to its Counter-Strike 2 roster. The Norwegian esports athlete will replace Jakub "jcobbb" Pietruszewski for ESL Pro League Season 22.

After the conclusion of Pro League Season 22, jcobbb will return to the club's starting five, while Nygaard will be moved to the bench again. FaZe officially announced this via its X social media account.

The reason for this decision is that, after replacing rain with Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken, the team arrived at ESL Pro League Season 22 with only two members of the roster that initially received an invite to the event. According to ESL regulations, a team must retain at least three players on its roster to compete at the tournament. As a result, FaZe forfeited their first match of the competition.

Current  FaZe's lineup looks as follows:

 Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants
 Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen
 David "frozen" Čerňanský
 Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken
 Håvard "rain" Nygaard

 Filip "NEO" Kubski (coach)
