BLAST denied FaZe Clan's emergency replacement request
The Danish tournament operator BLAST rejected FaZe Clan 's request for an emergency replacement to participate in the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023. Since the team wanted to add k0nfig at the last moment, the organizers did not go forward, since the Dane was announced as a substitute player for Heroic. Now FaZe Clan will have to look for another option to replace rain, since olofmeister will also not be able to help the team at the upcoming event.
The day before, the FaZe Clan organization officially announced that rain and coach RobbaN will miss the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 . While the 28-year-old Norwegian player is expecting a baby, the Swedish specialist will not stand behind his players for personal reasons.
There are many inconsistencies and interesting details in this story. First of all, according to Twistzz, the organizers allowed the use of k0nfig earlier, as the Canadian announced on Twitter. However, the tournament operator BLAST changed its mind overnight. Apparently, the organizers listened to the opinion of the dissatisfied participants of the competition, who turned to BLAST with criticism due to non-compliance with the established rules in relation to emergency substitutions.
As a result, the organizers had to comment and agree that k0nfig cannot compete in BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 with FaZe Clan, since he is already on the list of the Heroic team.
FaZe Clan requested that k0nfig be used as an emergency replacement for BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023. This request as an emergency replacement for BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 was denied because he is on another team's roster for the event. The request for an emergency substitution has been accepted as only four players are currently available in Denmark. An update on the replacement will be made as soon as we receive it.
Now FaZe Clan doesn't have much time to decide on a replacement for rain. Initially, the club expected to present a stand-in on the day of their first match, but even with this the team had some difficulties.
BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 for FaZe Clan will start on Friday, January 20th. The team will play with the North Americans from Complexity Gaming - OG and Team Liquid are also represented in the group.
