FaZe Clan's remarkable journey through the Counter-Strike majors is a testament to the team's enduring presence and competitive spirit in the esports arena. As the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen approaches, FaZe is set to mark its 13th consecutive appearance at a world championship, a feat highlighted by a recent survey. Since its foray into Counter-Strike in 2016, FaZe has not missed a single Valve-sanctioned championship, showcasing a level of consistency and excellence matched by few.
The organization made a bold entrance into Counter-Strike by acquiring the G2 lineup for a staggering $700,000. This investment quickly bore fruit, with the team securing a spot at MLG Columbus within two months, finishing in the 9th/12th bracket. Throughout the years and numerous roster changes, one player has remained a constant: Håvard "rain" Nygaard. The Norwegian sharpshooter has been with FaZe through thick and thin, experiencing highs such as the runner-up finish at the ELEAGUE Major Boston 2018 and the triumphant victory at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
FaZe's journey at the majors has seen its share of ups and downs, from early group stage eliminations at MLG Columbus 2016 and ESL One Cologne 2016 to reaching the quarterfinals and beyond. Their perseverance was rewarded when they clinched the title at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022, defeating NAVI in a memorable final.
The path to the upcoming CS2 Major in Copenhagen was secured through the European RMR A, where FaZe showcased their prowess with a 3-1 campaign, only faltering against G2 but securing victories against 9Pandas, Team Falcons, and Eternal Fire.
Rain's unique distinction of participating in all 13 majors wearing the FaZe jersey is not just a personal achievement but a symbol of the team's resilience and adaptability. As FaZe prepares for their next challenge in Copenhagen, the esports community watches with anticipation, eager to see if this storied team can add another chapter to their already illustrious major history.
