Rumors: rain will take a long vacation due to the birth of a child

According to an OverDrive insider and a number of other sources, the North American esports organization FaZe Clan will be forced to make a replacement in its CS:GO roster. Rain is reportedly taking an extended vacation due to the birth of his baby. As a result, the team will play with an unnamed stand-in.

rain is the oldest member of FaZe Clan. Joining the team in January 2016, the 28-year-old Norwegian became the winner of StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 3, ESL One: New York 2017, ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2017, Esports Championship Series Season 4 - Finals, Intel Extreme Masters XIII - Sydney, EPICENTER 2018, Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Katowice, ESL Pro League Season 15, PGL Major Antwerp 2022 and Intel Extreme Masters XVII - Cologne.

The past season really turned out to be impressive for the Norwegian. rain not only won his first major in his career, but was also named the MVP of the tournament. In addition, the 28-year-old player announced his wife's pregnancy in August by posting on Twitter.

The rumors probably didn't come out of nowhere, as the rain may indeed need a vacation to help his wife and take care of the newborn. At the time of publication of the material, none of the parties commented on the rumors.

It is also unclear who will be FaZe Clan's stand-in if the roster changes do happen. The same OverDrive pointed to an unnamed e-sportsman from Russia, although he immediately tried to disown the information in favor of unconfirmed data. In general, it is not long to wait, since the announcement may take place in the near future.
