FaZe Clan’s Robert “RobbaN” Dahlström has commented his reaction to FaZe’s victory in IEN Cologne 2022. The Swedish coach recognized Natus Vincere as their equals, and applauded the Ukrainian team’s strength in his interview for Jaxon.gg esports news portal.
Robert “RobbaN” Dahlström is a Swedish professional coach for FaZe Clan. Formerly recognized for his performance in such big orgs as Ninjas in Pyjamas and SK Gaming, RobbaN’s experience baggage is undeniable, which made him a perfect pickup for FaZe Clan. And the results show: just look at FaZe’s performance in 2022 Season.
RobbaN’s take on the grueling best-of-5 grand final is no different from the popular sentiment, and the coach ranks the event as the personal top-3 of all time.
I knew it was going to be hard. NAVI is a very strong opponent. I knew that there would be rounds where we would have the advantage but still lose. It’s about staying strong all the time. That’s it. It’s a best of five final. You can’t give anything up.
As the coach was asked whether karrigan is the greatest IGL of all time, RobbaN did not hesitate a bit on the answer:
Yes. F*ck yes.
One of the OGs of Counter-Strike, Karrigan undoubtedly deserves this title.
IEM Cologne is perhaps the most iconic of all Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event series, always packed to the brim with rivalries and top-notch gameplay.
