rain: "I won't speak for the entire line-up, but I feel out of sorts"

rain, a FaZe Clan player, shared his thoughts on the team's form at the start of the second half of the 2022 season. According to the 28-year-old Norwegian esportsman, FaZe Clan is currently far from optimal conditions and is not at its peak.

This is not the start of the season that we want. We know, from watching all of our games, practices, everything, that we're not as passionate as we were last season. We have a lot of work to do before the upcoming tournaments.Now FaZe Clan is not the same team as it was last season, and everyone in the team understands this.

During the holidays, we communicated in the team chat almost every day, but no one played. There was a break from computers and training, which we really need. There were many small mistakes in this tournament. I won't speak for the whole squad, but I feel out of place when I play. I haven't gotten into shape yet, so there's work to be done.

Recall that the FaZe Clan team took 4-6th place at the end of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. As part of the championship, RobbaN's wards took second place in group C, and also suffered one defeat in Play-In, losing to OG. Nevertheless, on the final day of the competition, the team managed to defeat Astralis, thanks to which they qualified for BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022.

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 takes place from 19 to 28 August in Copenhagen. As part of the championship, twelve partner teams from Europe, the CIS and North America are competing for a total prize pool of $177,498, rating points, and six tickets to BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022.
