After their loss at ESL One Cologne, rain had a few things to say about the current state of FaZe\u2019s CS:GO team, as well as addressing their feelings regarding Finn \u2018Karrigan\u2019 Andersen being cut from their roster. In a brutally honest answer, the esports pro revealed that the team regretted their decision, and said they never should have kicked him off the squad. \u201cNot the best idea by far\u201d \u201cBut now everyone regrets it. Of course we do. Maybe not right now, but the month after when we got AdreN everybody started to regret it, cause we didn\u2019t have an IGL for five months.\u201d he said.

Not the best idea by far.\u201d In a cruel twist of fate, the very team FaZe lost to in Cologne was none other than Karrigan\u2019s new team mousesports. They went on to beat them 2 to 0 on the Inferno and Mirage maps. When asked how what the mood was after their loss, rain said: \u201cAfter we lost emotions were pretty low. This is the only event of the year I really care about. Just playing here in front of the crowd is something special. It feels even more like the Major.\u201d rain and Karrigan are still friends Fans don\u2019t need to worry about conflict between the pair though: rain said that him and Karrigan were still good friends, and that there are no hard feelings between them except a friendly rivalry. He even talked about the possibility of them one day playing together again, which would be great to see. Fingers crossed. Rain also spoke about the team\u2019s dynamics, and how he feels they aren\u2019t currently on the same page. The team had a shakeup this year, after legendary Counter-Strike player Filip \u2018NEO\u2019 Kubski replaced Dauren \u2018AdreN\u2019 Kystaubayev \u2013 who had only just signed to FaZe months earlier. The CS:GO pro said that despite NEO initially trying to form a new playstyle for the team, they settled to play the way they did with AdreN, and that their lack of In Game Leader was ultimately what harmed them the most. After the loss, rain said the team needs a vacation, and that he has plans to go to Bali with his girlfriend. Hopefully the time off gives the squad the rest they need to make an epic comeback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FaZe Rain details why CS:GO team \u201cregrets\u201d dropping Karrigan EPICENTER \/ ESLFaZe Clan\u2019s CS:GO star H\u00e5vard \u2018rain\u2018 Nygaard recently sat down with VPEsports for an interview after their elimination from ESL One Cologne, where he discussed the current state of the team.
