FaZe CSGO reveal substitute following Olofmeister departure BLASTFaZe Clan\u2019s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squad have revealed that Aurimas \u2018Bymas\u2019 Pipiras will be their temporary stand-in following Olof \u2018olofmeister\u2019 Kajbjer\u2019s announcement that he would be stepping down. On May 23, legendary Swedish Counter-Strike olofmeister revealed that he would be stepping down from the active FaZe Clan roster \u2013 noting that he had become increasingly fatigued and losing motivation. With FaZe set to begin their run in the DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 online event, that meant that they\u2019d be in need of a replacement and pretty quickly. Though, they have now announced which European player will be taking Olof\u2019s place \u2013 at least on a temporary basis. Prior to their run at DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 getting underway, the org tweeted out that 16-year-old Aurimas \u2018Bymas\u2019 Pipiras would be stepping in ahead of their first game with GODSENT. Bymas\u2019 addition to the roster had been rumored prior to the announcement, with DBLTap\u2019s Jarek \u2018Dekay\u2018 Lewis revealing on May 23 that FaZe had been in discussions to make the Lithuanian player a part of their roster. Today we begin the DreamHack Masters Group Stage. We will be playing with Aurimas \u201cBymas\u201d Pipiras as our stand-in. Tune in at 5:30 PM CET to watch our first match vs GODSENT! https:\/\/t.co\/7R2IcipFFA \u2014 FaZe Esports (@FaZeEsports) May 25, 2020 With Bymas replacing Olofmeister, it\u2019s unknown just how the Swede will be stepping away from Counter-Strike for. In his stepping down announcement, he noted said \u201cwe\u2019ll meet again\u201d and that his teammates supported his decision \u2013 with all of them taking him for his work on Twitter. As for the Lithuanian, though he is a rising star in the European CS scene, it won\u2019t be the easiest of starts for him under the FaZe Clan banner. The all-star lineup faces GODSENT in their opening DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 match before taking on Fnatic and Team Spirit in their other two matches. All eyes will be on the youngster to see if he can step into Olof\u2019s boots, or if FaZe will need to go back to the drawing board and head back into the transfer market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
