NiKo of FaZe Clan on CS:GO Teammate Olofmeister: There is No Player That Can Replace Him

The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team of FaZe Clan is currently competing at DreamHack Masters Stockholm and will be looking to capture a championship before embarking on their quest to secure the title at the FACEIT Major in London. Chances are high for FaZe Clan to walk away from the DreamHack Masters Stockholm event a winner thanks to the team having its talented roster back together after veteran CS:GO player Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer returned to the team from a leave of absence for the previous event at the ELEAGUE CS:GO Premiere 2018 event. 

During an interview for the DreamHack Masters Stokcholm broadcast, FaZe Clan teammate of olomeister, Nikola "NiKo" Kovács, explained just how valuable olofmeister is to the CSGO team of FaZe Clan and that no other player in the professional CS:GO scene could replace olofmeister on the FaZe Clan roster in NiKo's eyes. 

"I kinda feel bad for him because like he kinda came at the wrong moment even though we are really happy that he came back. Having him right now is just like relief for our team. Like he is the player...I don't think any player on the scene can replace him," said NiKo. "He is just too important for the team. He is just bringing to the team whatever we need, so playing with Olof is just like amazing. There is no player who can replace him."

The wrong moment that NiKo is referring to would be the ELEAGUE Premiere 2018 tournament where FaZe Clan finished at a disappointing 8th place finish at the $1,000,000 event. With the tournament being the first event for FaZe Clan with olofmeister back on the starting lineup, the team struggled to regain their chemistry that had led them to multiple championships in the past. 

However, it looks as though olomeister and the rest of the CSGO team have worked past their reunion struggles and are looking like the team that many have regarded as the most talented in the world. 

FaZe Clan recently finished group play at DreamHack Masters Stockholm with an undefeated record after defeating OpTic Gaming 2-0 and will now be moving onto the playoffs for the event with a great deal of momentum. Thanks to their talented roster being back at full strength with the return of olofmeister who looks to have found his chemistry with the rest of the CS:GO roster for FaZe Clan, a title at DreamHack Masters Stockholm is looking like a very possibility for the reunited team.
