The Calm Within the Storm: The Story of rain

- The world of esports is a fluid one -- teams rise and fall, orgs get bought and sold, players come and go.
But in the midst of the chaos, there are a few standout names that remain as solid and steadfast as the sky above our heads -- who, no matter what’s happening around them, remain right as rain.
Håvard "rain" Nygaard is exactly that type of player. The Norwegian FPS monster has been a fixture of competitive CS:GO since the game’s release.
But rain hasn’t simply remained faithful to the game -- as FaZe Clan’s CS:GO team’s longest-lasting member, he has become a pillar of a lineup that has gone through multiple ownership and roster changes over the years.
And in the eye of that storm, rain has been indelible, inexorable, and inevitable.
This is the Story of rain.

When S1mple was asked which players would he pick to make a CS super team, he picked Rain as his entry fragger
What year was this?
@@jameswilson890 2020
thats interesting
Anyone has the link to the video of that interview?
@@Trainthomasjb ESL S1mple All-Six or someshit like that basically Legendary "six"
Probably one of the most skilled but underlooked csgo players ever to frag
hope he gets back into form soon
edit: yah he looked better at stockholm
@@joshuac.402 He has been one of the most consistent on the team since back at LAN tho
@@andjey96 in fact he's always been hella consistent. I don't think i can recall more than 2-3 times where Rain actually performed like shit
@@andjey96 I think it’s just about how he plays. He never plays BAD. It’s just that one map he is dropping 20+ and other times he just does his job. I think that’s why he is called streaky. But yes I love rain. Imo need to replace Olof
@@andjey96 ?? Hes been 3rd on the team and the other 2 are karrigan who fragging more than him isnt an achievement and olof whos just out of retirement. Rain is obviously in a slump rn
In a roster full of superstars and legends. Rain is the one to claim the MVP in their first ever Major trophy. When it rains, it pours. ☔
rainMONSTA
he's just insane man truly a storm to be reckoned with
We had so many great CS 1.3-1.6 CS its, so we became, we didnt acknowledged them. For us its Heaton, Fisker, element, eoøithic, Sk from Sweden.knoxville
"How did you get into CS?"
Every CS pro: "I started watching my older brother."
These are the times I wish I had an older brother, or my older sister used to play games
Nah , " I played soccer and Injured my leg. And then I started watching my older brother" )))))))))))
@@666reen7 olof the same
Feel like it seems like
"My First love was soccer, but I got hurt and decided to watch my brother play cs"
Usually it is between "injury so i retire from sport" or "watch my old bro". He got both.
Rain is criminally underrated
He was in faze
@@law4546 is
@@law4546 true but he is constantly surrounded by legends or prodigies
@@jd4ddy195 What i mean by his not underated is he does not have that many haters or stuff like that people have just already accepted he is good so they cheer for the newer players more
He is not underrated he is overshadowed
Also seems to be a super calm guy, probably a great teammate if he’s lasted that long.
Easily a goat
Shutup coolmark
Absolute God, one of the best entry fragger in pro CsGo. Finally getting a video from the ScoreEsports, something he deserved since long.
agreed! Been asking about this video for years ^_^
Agreed
so i got sid here also me zskill xd
This guy is one of the best aimers in csgo... And his entries are things to behold...
Still 🌧️ better than dupreeh
@@get_obliterat8642 skill wise, yes. Very much so... But sadly he doesn't have the accomplishments to back him up....
@@HydrarGyros7 tragic... Hope lucks get him up
@@HydrarGyros7 yeah FaZe for next major... but sad GuardiaN cant be a part of it too
one of the most underrated and overlocked players. i feel like people forget that he was #4 in 2017 and #18 in 2018.
and for the last 3 months of 2017 he was probably the best player in the world
I never forget, Rain POG
PLEASE, you have to make another one after Faze won the Antwarp major! Rain was such a winning factor for them!
And now he finally won a major
Rain is a real G for staying with FaZe through all the ups and downs no matter what. The dude is so dedicated to his Org and the game. Massive respect
Kinda the reason he won’t win a major faze will never get a major run again as they juts go for super starts instead of average players that play elite in teams like navi with boom
faze also made sure he stays they really like him
As faze banks said he didn't care about g2's roster except rain he only thought that the roster would worth double than what he paid for in a few years so he had to buy it quickly, none of the original players were meant to stay only rain was
@@Jammert If Guardian wasn't injured back at the major FaZe would have dominanted at least for a year. They were by far the best team and Cloud9 only won by a thight margin even with one of their best players wasn't playing to his potential by far.
@@Jammert I think thats faboi talk what you are doing
Finally! I used to like Faze clan for Niko only to find out Rain was the real reason I liked to watch Faze clan play. Such a god with pistols. Don't get me wrong Niko is still the eternal mvp but Rain will always be the eternal entry player for me. I hope he wins a Major.
@Sagnik Pahari Exactly, just imagine Niko, tiwistzz, Rain, karrygun and broky.
@@roKr55 that is too much rifler, who plays support or lurker in that team @@
@@nguyentuan7704 I know but it won't be any bad than what we already have in Faze clan
ive enjoyed watching faze through their different rosters but their current lineup is always a joy to watch. i dont think the current roster can be topped
he just won now
they just won a PGL major with rain being almost the hard carry the entire game along with kerrigan
Rain is so underrated.
Cause he trying to build a team around him and it’s never worked
@@Jammert Top tier teams his whole career. the F*ck are you talking about?
steps to becoming a pro csgo player.
step 1: have an older brother who plays counterstrike.
step 2: profit.
or get injured from sports
@@bashyyy7245 or both
*Step 2 : STONKS
*Step 2 : STONKS
this aged all too well, he's finally conquered that coveted trophy after 6 years on the squad, so deserved
The most underappreciated player in FaZe. We talk about Niko, Olof, and Guardian, but this guy was also relevant.
He was more than relevant. He was better and more consistent than Olof, Guardian and Twistzz during their time in Faze. Second only to NiKo.
I am new to cs and this video really makes me know more about how godly Rain was
Edit: And still is
Welcome bro! Rain is my fav player, though I am a bit biased (we are from the same country).
Got a fav team yet? 🙂
@@niigu Well im New from May 2020, And Rain wasnt mentioned a lot since then until Lan was back.
My fav team are mouz (because of Ropz and Frozen) and Movistar riders Since Im Spanish
@@jpsaglimbeni bro predicted faze 2024 roster
I was a cloud 9 fan when it was Boston, but I’ve grown to love rain
Rain was always my most favourite player, dont really know why. Perhaps it's his calmness, positive energy and his skill with deagle is insane. Love to see, that he gets at least some recognition. Let's go FaZe!
I once played a deathmatch and saw one guy, who just huan deaged every single person in his line of sight. the profile check explained everything. RAIN
bro I am so jealous lucky
love how the most recent comments before the major final was 3 months ago and theres this flood from 3 days ago lmao
that intro was absolutely amazing, especially as a rain fan
Calling Rain the "rock" of Faze clan is an understatement, he's the unshakable mountain of Faze CSGO
Came back here after he became major mvp
Absolutely love rain, a mechanical entry god.
Now in 2022 Won a Major and a Major MVP..
European CS pro starter pack:
was playing football *forced to quit"
Bigger brother or dad showing Fps
Finding the love For CS
Tbh that name “Rain” is so dope
From major choker to one of the oldest players to win a major MVP....hatsoff to his dedication🙌🙌
He wasn’t the choker. Niko was the choker in Boston finals as always, he had 0.88 rating. Niko always fucking choking. Glad he’s no longer in faze tbh.
@@Nerdywr yeah, I think NiKo's ego will one day destroy him tbh....we can see a world where one of the gifted players who has gone wasted(not to win a single major)
Good to look back on this now as he lifts the Major trophy as MVP on the #1 best team.
Boston Major hurt. But Faze finally got their redemption!
"We can all rest assured
That should a fire arise for Faze Clan
Rain will be there to put it out."
Good one there 👌
Major MVP baby!
crazy how consistent this guy is having so many highlights through all the eras, even into cs2
The Nordic trio of Rain, Karrigan and Olofmeister is classic
After the PGL Major win of the faze clan and Rain named as the MVP of the said event, he deserves another vid that talks about his journey. Would love to watch the video if you'll publish one
I feel like Rain is one of those players that everyone just loves... and I for sure is one of them!
Boston major: exists
Score esports: I can milk this
Story of rain 2.0?
Finally, i think hes been underrated for a looong time. No one talking how he's unshakable in faze clan. With all the roster changes, hes always standing firm!
rain is really such a good player. i just love to watch him play especially with pistol.
extra: 20:27 this is why olof is such a great guy.
6:42 I love how olofmeister is already protecting/"respecting" rain lmaooo their friendship really was meant to be
MAJOR WINNER RAIN ☔️ 🌧
whos watching this after rain and karrigan finally won a major?
and he is finally a major winner and MVP :3
One of my favorite videos from this channel. Thanks for making this video of Rain .He Deserves a lot more.
One of the best entry Fraggers ever this man is so good. He's silent but deadly af.
"Should a fire arise for Faze Clan, Rain will be there to put it out" - This one aged well (Post Antwerp 2022 Major)
MVP!
as a norwegian i have been waiting for this video and not disepointed. his been my favorit player since i started to follow pro cs. i will always follow him!
Now we wait for the new one, Rain is the MVP!!! 🌧️
I like how broky just teamkills rain in 19:35 right after they win
After the last major, I thought about rain & here we are, a fully fledged video. Don’t wanna take credit for it… but…
Jokes aside, Rain has some of the cleanest frags you’d see in cs history. Criminally underrated, super smart and cracked aim
He did it, won MVP for Antwerp Major and well earned.
AND YOUR MAJOR MVP, RAINNNNNN!!!
man. Rain is such a underrated player. im happy they made a video showcasing him as a good player and not just a mediocre player
Remake please.
Here after Rain finally won a major!
Beast, one of my fav players. I was always suprised how underrated he is on the scene.
One of the greatest entry fraggers in his prime! Absolute machine. His aim would always naturally be robotic.
And now he has a major mvp, truly champ
It's time to comeback to this video guys
One of the sexiest aimers and voices in the CS scene, happy y'all finally made a vid about him
Cutting out Machine's 'Absolute Monster' call from Rain's legendary 1v5 is criminal
Major winner
MAJOR MVP
I’ve heard the name Rain before but never checked him out. With that many 1vX or 2vXs in the first 5 minutes of this video, why isn’t he as popular as the greats? That was impressive to say the least.
Maybe because ur new to csgo if u just heard of rain
@@godaimer999 you aren’t wrong. My experience with csgo is basically thEscore videos lmao
Also he is seldom flashy in social media
Thank you for making this video, he's probably the most consistent player in csgo
Watching right after he won mvp at the major
One of the players you cannot hate, I can recall watching live all the clips used in this video. rain the beast.
Here to watch this 2023 after Faze won Grand Slam
Man...his 1tap agaist Complexity.. deserves an own video
Thanks for this video. Rain has always been a hero to me - purely for how stoic he is in personality, precise in what he does and a voice that belongs to Gods.
I can't stress this enough but these intros always give me chills
Who's here after rain demolished Navi in the major finals.
Also we need another video after his major win with karrigan.
This video. Aged real quick.
you know he's insane when the intro highlight reel is over 2 minutes long...
And now he's a Major Winner!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rain Major Champ
Rain mvp major! Best of the best entry fragger in the world !
Rain carrying the Norwegian cs go scene on his back all by himself
And look at them now. #1!
The most underrated player in The history of CSGO
Faze has been really smart keeping Rain as a core player to build a team around. You need a player like Rain to win
Rain and Art are the best entry fraggers would love to see a match where they duke it out
Im so glad my man got his Major and Karrigan too they fully deserved it best aimer in the game for me and entry fragger, funny how i got this video recommended after the major :D
His aim is just insane. That Boston Major collapse is going to taint the leagcy of too many good players but it will not take away their greatness. NiKo, Guardian, Rain, Karrigan.
Amen
He won Major ❤️ 🧡 💛
HE'S NOW A MAJOR WINNER LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He's the real love of FaZe fans, still on the team after so many ups and downs ♥
It goes without saying especially since faze clan said to karrigan a while back you can lick your team and anyone on it but rain stays on the team. They stuck with him and he stuck with them ever since they bought that g2 roster way way back
one of the best to ever touch the game!
This guy is really really underrated....he deserves much more
rain was literally the one to make the pro scene realize multi-fragging was a thing, no one else could do it
The most underrated player in cs i feel. Its amazing what Rain still does. 1 taps of a guy flying through air? Np for him.
Its so badass how rain put his hands out after that clutch on cache vs envyus
Making us norwegians proud to be cs fans
this channel is pumping out content like crazy well done lads
I love rain! If anyone deserves the major, it's him!
and GuardiaN
Well deserved video for rain! Was hoping to see the cracked flick on a run boost on dust2 A long by rain from the recent games on this video
