The start of FaZe’s 2022 noticed a collection of match wins with the squad choosing up the primary three top-tier occasions of the 12 months, even successful with a stand-in. Historical past is thought for repeating itself, and whereas Håvard “rain” Nygaard taking depart for the beginning of his baby is welcomed information, the necessity for a substitute has appeared as soon as extra. FaZe’s resolution may very well be steering in the direction of Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke.
According to Dust2, the transfer may ruffle some feathers. Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer was FaZe’s authentic choose as an alternative, and with two days left earlier than the occasion commences, the potential change in participant is likely to be elevating some eyebrows.
One unnamed staff reportedly raised issues with BLAST, as rulebooks disallow such strikes to be made, with others voicing issues in non-public.
K0nfig just lately stood in for Heroic on the BLAST Premier World Last 2022, and held his personal, regardless of Heroic’s placement, and with Finn “karrigan” Andersen’s historical past of performing regardless of the percentages, there’s a great probability this staff may take some scalps.
IEM Katowice 2022 noticed Justin “jks” Savage don a FaZe jersey, with the Australian taking the roles of two members. The tip end result got here as a shock to most, with FaZe in the end successful, regardless of substitutions left, proper, and middle.
The BLAST Spring teams subject a set of high groups, all duking it out in an effort to solidify their place within the Spring Last later within the 12 months. The groups that fail to progress by way of to the ultimate levels will make their method into the Spring Showdown in April. Whereas the stakes aren’t at their highest, the impression a poor efficiency can have is likely to be the distinction in taking part in at future BLAST tournaments all year long.
