Karrigan Clutch & Rain Ace Proves Age is Just a Number | BLAST Fall Groups 2024

As a gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can attest to the fact that age is just a number, especially when it comes to Counter-Strike legends like Håvard “rain” Nygaard and Finn “karrigan” Andersen. These veterans have time and again proven that they are not to be underestimated, as evidenced by their recent win over Cloud9 at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024.


In simpler terms, the experienced Norwegian player Håvard “rain” Nygaard (aged 29) and Danish in-game leader Finn “karrigan” Andersen (aged 34), representing FaZe Clan, are senior figures in Counter-Strike and the most mature competitors at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups event of 2024.

Many Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) enthusiasts often assume that younger players have an advantage due to the potential decline in reflexes with age, and further believe that at around 30 years old, it becomes unrealistic for players to compete at S-Tier events against the young prodigies. However, time after time, Finn “karrigan” Andersen and Håvard “rain” Nygaard are disproving this notion, as FaZe Clan triumphed over Cloud9 in Group C of BLAST Premier Fall Groups, demonstrating that age doesn’t necessarily determine one’s skill level.

In the initial Group C match, FaZe Clan chose to use Dust2, a map previously owned by Cloud9. The game ended with a close score of 13-10, but it seemed that the outcome could have gone either way. Upon revisiting the third round of Dust2 in my mind repeatedly, I’m convinced that Håvard “rain” Nygaard dealt a significant blow to Cloud9’s confidence with an impressive ace – eliminating all five opponents in a single round.

During the game, player Håvard Nygaard, also known as “rain” Nygaard, secured his initial kill in mid defense and another on a catwalk. As Cloud9 advanced towards A-long and retreated through doors, an expertly timed sneak attack from the skilled Norwegian player resulted in him claiming all three remaining opponents. This significant move by “rain” Nygaar also ensured that FaZe Clan managed to keep all five players alive throughout the encounter.

Following FaZe Clan’s victory on Dust2, Team Cloud9 retaliated with a convincing 13-7 win on Inferno, setting up a third and decisive map. The pivotal moment came on Mirage when Finn “karrigan” Andersen, their Danish in-game leader, executed a remarkable 4 versus 1 clutch, securing the eighth round and tying the score at 4-4.

In an exciting finish, FaZe Clan emerged victorious on Mirage after overtime, securing a 16-14 win. Leading the charge was Robin “ropz” Kool, who posted the highest score for his team. This triumph serves as a reminder that the experienced players on the team should always be respected and taken seriously.
