Today, it became known that FaZe Clan's sniper, Helvijs broky Saukants, has been nominated for the title of "Latvian Athlete of the Year in Technical Sports." Also, in his Twitter, he was supported by FaZe Clan's rifler, Russell Twistzz Van Dalken.

At the moment, broky is not the only representative of Latvia on the professional scene; there are five other players alongside him:

• keen (JiJieHao)
• EIZA (GenOne)
• krii (The Prodigies)
• shield (Monte Gen)
• YEKINDAR (Team Liquid)

But since it was FaZe Clan that started their era in Counter-Strike 2, broky was nominated, and not someone else. Because the team has won all tier-1 championships in the new version of the game:

• Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023 
• CS Asia Championships 2023 
• Thunderpick World Championship 2023

broky was nominated for the "Three Stars" award, specifically for the title of "Latvian Athlete of the Year in Technical Sports." His competitors include Latvian motor and auto racers.

However, to vote for the esports athlete, you need to have a Latvian phone number. Twistzz urged everyone to vote for broky, and for those who do not have a Latvian number, to create a temporary one.

Twistzz:

Mr. broky has the chance to be voted as the best athlete in Latvia. Not often are esport players placed in the same Catagory as traditional athletes.I just saw that you must have a Latvian number to vote. Maybe there is a work around by using a random number
Don't do this, it asks for confirmation. Best solution is to make a temporary phone number

   

The "Three Stars" award ceremony will take place on January 17, 2024. As of now, FaZe Clan is playing at BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023, where they have already advanced to the semi-finals and will compete against Complexity Gaming!
