Two members of the FaZe Clan family won’t be available for BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 when the team plays its opener on Friday in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Havard “rain” Nygaard will miss the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event to attend to the birth of his child, while coach Robert “RobbaN” Dahlstrom is not attending “due to a personal matter.”

FaZe Clan said RobbaN is expected to be back for IEM Katowice, which begins Jan. 31.

Faze Clan did not name a replacement for rain for the 12-team competition in Copenhagen.

Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer was registered as a substitute player for the event, according to Dexerto.com. There is also speculation that former Astralis star Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke could join the team.
