Robert "⁠RobbaN⁠" Dahlström has stepped down from his position as head coach of FaZe, the North American organisation have announced.

In a statement, the 33-year-old explained that the decision was motivated by personal reasons, having recently become a father for the second time, adding that he will be transitioning to a new role in FaZe, which will be revealed later in January.

RobbaN, who made a name for himself playing for teams like Begrip, NiP and SK Gaming in 1.6, had been working with the team since February 2016, with Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard being the only remaining line-up player of that time.
