jkaem to play for FaZe in Vegas

FaZe backup member Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad will be the team's fifth member at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas, HLTV.org has learned.

Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad has been on FaZe's bench since November, when Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey was moved back to the starting lineup, and was seen playing for the team in the ESL Pro League earlier in the week.

He will step into the shoes of Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup, who has signed for North, as FaZe's newest recruit, Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, will play one last tournament for mousesports - DreamHack Masters Las Vegas - before switching teams.


jkaem will play for FaZe in Las Vegas

FaZe have been drawn in Group D of the $450,000 tournament, along with Natus Vincere, mousesports and Renegades, with their first match pitting them against the Australians.

This means that FaZe will attend the event with:

Denmark Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen
France Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey
Finland Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli
Norway Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard
Norway Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad

He has been carrying mouse enough. I think every guy involved in mousesports understands that aswell. He deserve going to a bigger team with alot of talent. He didnt knew at that point he was going to FaZe. He just had a wish, and as every time before that has been rejected. He just chose to look bright at the future.
