FaZe CS:GO finds last-minute replacement for first tournament of 2023
Patrick “es3tag” Hansen will stand in for FaZe Clan at the 2023 BLAST Premier Spring Groups, the CS:GO team announced today.
The Dane will be taking the place of star rifler rain, who is on paternity leave as his first child is about to be born and therefore can’t attend the tournament. FaZe initially planned to use former Astralis player Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke as a stand-in, but BLAST didn’t allow the move because he was listed as Heroic’s substitute for the tournament. On top of not having rain, FaZe will also play without head coach Robert “RobbaN” Dahlström, who will miss at least this weekend because of personal reasons.
