29-year-old Håvard Nygaard, better known as Rain, a professional player for FaZe Clan, has now spent 3014 days as part of FaZe Clan's active Counter-Strike roster since joining them in 2016.

Rain has overtaken EliGE's record with Team Liquid to become the longest-serving professional Counter-Strike player since the release of CS:GO. In the time that he has spent with FaZe Clan, Rain has accomplished a lot, including winning the Antwerp Major, Intel Grand Slam, and many more.

This long stint is especially impressive when you learn that he was one of the founding members of FaZe Clan's debut CS:GO team, remaining an integral part of their lineup through their worst of times. Throughout the years, he has lost most of his original teammates and is no stranger to rock bottom. He was harshly criticised for his individual performances but he overcame all the hardships and helped his teammates climb to the top and established them as one of Counter-Strike's finest.
