rain (Håvard Nygaard) — CS2 Professional Player Settings and Gear
About rain
Håvard 'rain' Nygaard is one of the longest-tenured and most respected veterans in Counter-Strike history, a Norwegian rifler whose career spans over a decade of top-level competition. His PGL Major Antwerp 2022 victory with FaZe Clan was one of the most emotionally resonant moments in CS history — rain had been competing at the top level for nearly eight years without a Major title, and his MVP performance in the Grand Finals showed that patience and perseverance could still be rewarded. Rain's mechanical skill has remained remarkably consistent throughout his career, with an ability to clutch rounds and produce multi-kill sequences that has made him FaZe's most reliable player across multiple roster iterations. His versatility is a key asset — rain can entry frag, hold anchor positions, lurk, or clutch with equal effectiveness, making him the ultimate utility player. The Major championship, combined with the Intel Grand Slam, IEM Katowice, and IEM Cologne victories in 2022, gave rain one of the most complete trophy hauls in a single calendar year. His move to 100 Thieves represents a new chapter for a player who has earned universal respect across the Counter-Strike community.
