The FaZe Clan veteran and one of the most iconic players in Counter-Strike history has once again reminded everyone why his name has long been synonymous with stability and devotion to the game. His recent act, which quickly went viral across social media, sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans and fellow professionals.

The path of a legend

Rain is a living chapter of Counter-Strike history. Starting back in 2014, the Norwegian player rose from lesser-known rosters such as London Conspiracy and Kinguin to become the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 champion. Throughout his career, he has played for six teams, but it was with FaZe Clan, where he has competed since 2016, that he became one of the most decorated players of the modern era.

His track record includes 1 Major, more than 20 trophies, 131 LAN tournaments, and over $1.6 million in prize earnings. Rain has spent 4,260 days in professional teams — and more than 3,560 of them under the FaZe banner.

His consistency and endurance have made him a symbol of loyalty in a world where team lineups change every season.

The brevity of a champion

Rain has always been a man of action rather than words. His reserved presence on social media and lack of loud statements have long become part of his image. His short Steam comment “very good” has become something of a meme — but also a reflection of his entire journey.

Over the years, Rain has maintained a crucial role in the team as an entry fragger, the player who opens rounds and takes on the most responsibility. His 82/100 rating in the Entrying category proves that even after ten years, he remains a dangerous opponent for anyone.

His 17,550 hours in the game are more than just a statistic. They represent a journey measured not in minutes, but in years of training, setbacks, and triumphs.

Rain did not comment publicly, but for the community, his “very good” became both a joke and the perfect conclusion to an era: concise, honest, and filled with the quiet energy he is known for.

Rain and the FaZe era

Since joining FaZe, the team has experienced everything — from heartbreaking finals to historic victories. Rain was part of every trophy run, from IEM Katowice and ESL Pro League to BLAST Premier and the Thunderpick World Championship.

His crowning moment came at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, where he not only lifted the main trophy but also earned the MVP title, becoming the first Norwegian in history to do so. Despite more than a decade on the scene, Rain has maintained his level — with a 1.02 rating over his last 60 maps.

His short “very good” perfectly summed up this journey: brief, modest, but with a depth understood only by those who have lived their entire lives in the game.

What’s next for Rain

Currently, Rain is on the FaZe Clan bench, which has sparked much discussion among analysts and fans. After nine years in the main roster, the club, according to HLTV, decided to give younger players a chance — with fame and broky forming the core of the new lineup.

However, behind the scenes, Rain has no plans to retire. According to sources close to FaZe, he is considering options to continue competing — either as an active player or as a mentor. His vast experience and deep understanding of the game make him an ideal candidate for an analyst or coaching role in any international roster.

Just like his restrained Steam comment, Rain’s next step will likely come quietly — but once again, it may change the scene.
