BLAST rejects FaZe request to use k0nfig *
FaZe are scrambling to find a replacement for Håvard "rain" Nygaard at the last minute after BLAST allegedly overturned their decision to accept their request to use Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke.
Update 12:25 : BLAST comments on the decision
BLAST has given HLTV.org the following comment: "FaZe have requested the use of k0nfig as an emergency substitution for the Spring Groups. This request to use k0nfig as an emergency substitution for the Spring Groups has been denied as he is registered on another team's roster for this event. The request for an emergency substitution has been accepted as they only have four players currently available in Denmark. An update on the substitute will be made as soon as we have it."
The organizers have not confirmed nor denied that they had originally accepted FaZe's proposal to use k0nfig at the tournament, and did not explain why the decision was overturned, if so.
BLAST has denied FaZe's request to play with k0nfig at the BLAST Premier Spring Finals Groups as a replacement for rain, a Dexerto report says and Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken confirmed on Twitter.
According to Twistzz, the change had been allowed by BLAST "for some time" before "suddenly overnight everything changed." k0nfig was present with FaZe at the venue and in their practice room, HLTV.org can confirm.

The change, which was requested after rain decided to skip the tournament in the anticipation of the birth of his child, was denied after the proposition met some resistance from other BLAST teams.
It was denied after k0nfig had been listed as HEROIC's substitute. FaZe, who submitted Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer as their substitute, have reportedly been allowed to register a different player who does not feature on another team's roster instead.
While streaming, olofmeister has said he can't step in, as he is traveling in the upcoming weekend. "I didn't even know I was a substitute for BLAST, I think they just put me on there not really thinking, to be honest," he said.

FaZe now seem to be in a race against the clock to find a last-minute replacement. Their first match in Group B against Complexity is scheduled for Friday at 12:00 .
