The second carry of FaZe Clan, rain is one of the best riflers in CS:GO since his rise in 2015. First becoming a popular figure under Team Kinguin in 2015, rain has managed to showcase his rifle ability to match players like NiKo or coldzera. The star of G2 Esports (after G2 acquired Team Kinguin) and FaZe Clan (after acquiring G2 Esports) until NiKo & guardian’s inclusion to the team, rain is the best entry fragger currently a part of professional CS:GO. Due to his role as an entry player (since NiKo & olofmeister joined Faze), rain’s stats have slowly declined throughout 2017 and into 2018. However, flashes of rain’s greatness shine through in late round situations or on the Counter-Terrorist side as he lives past the initial storm of entering/ losing a bomb site. Current upsets at the hands of Cloud9 at the Major in Boston and Fnatic at IEM Katowice has put question to rain’s safety as a Faze member. Past showcases of his skill and recent highlights of ability will keep rain in a Faze jersey for months to come as there simply is not an equal caliber player that can replace rain currently in CS:GO.
