olofmeister to miss ECS Finals

FaZe star Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer will not take part in the upcoming ECS Season 5 Finals, the Swedish player has confirmed.

In a statement released by FaZe, the 26-year-old admitted that he is not yet ready to play again and revealed that he will "take a much longer break and come back when I am 110%".

olofmeister gave no time frame for a return, but his availability for ESL One Belo Horizonte, kicking off in just a week's time, now looks to be very much in doubt.

olofmeister not ready to return to action just yet

The former fnatic member had only recently returned to action after spending almost two months on the sidelines, during which FaZe fielded Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström as a stand-in.

"I thought I was ready to come back, but I was not," olofmeister wrote.

"I really wanted to make it work but stressed my comeback in doing so. It is all my own fault and I should have listened to myself.

"My biggest sorry goes out to my team, whom I know I have put in an unfortunate situation. I also want to say sorry to my fans."

FaZe have not yet announced who their fifth player for the British event will be, but Flickshot.fr's Guillaume "neL" Canelo recently tweeted that the IEM Sydney champions were eyeing Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen, who has been acting as a stand-in for HEROIC.

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's men have been drawn in Group B for the ECS Finals along with NRG, G2 and Luminosity, with their first match pitting them against the Brazilian side.
