FaZe Clan’s player Howard Rain Nygard commented on rumors about the possible end of the professional player’s career in Counter-Strike. In an interview, he stated that he had recently extended his contract with the club and was not considering leaving the competitive scene.

The importance of the major in Paris

rain emphasized that even taking into account the previous successes of his team, the victory at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 is of great importance. The Major in Paris is the last in the history of CS:GO, and all the tournament participants note its importance for them.

If you've won all the trophies, that doesn't mean you don't want to win one more, right? This is the last [CS:GO major] — it would be great to become the champion and win the second major for the team. A victory here will be no less critical for us than at the PGL Antwerp Major 2022.

Continuation of career

Nygard emphasized his passion for Counter-Strike and said he did not plan to leave the professional sphere. Contrary to rumors, the Norwegian athlete will continue to play in Counter-Strike 2.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. I also read somewhere that Pimp said during analysis at the tournament that I would end my career. There are no such plans. I just re-signed with FaZe, I'm staying. My family, wife, and everyone around me support me in what I do. I'm not going to leave.
I'm staying. Counter-strike is my passion, and everyone close to me supports me. So I will play until I can show the sufficient level.
