iNation change two

iNation have brought back Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković and added Macedonian star Adel "NENO" Ceković, in order to replace the two departed members Janko "YNk" Paunović and Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović.

The Serbian team only recently left Refuse and swapped Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković with Nestor "1NTEL" Tanić, but now they have decided to make further lineup changes despite winning Belgrade Gaming Festival two weekends ago.

Leaving the team are the in-game leader Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović and Janko "YNk" Paunović, who both decided to retire from gaming.

Trifunović stated that his retirement shouldn't come as a surprise and that he accomplished his goal from the beginning of the year of putting the Serbian scene on the European CS:GO map.

"As I have indicated before the Gaming Festival grand final, my time has passed, even before the tournament I knew that this will probably be my last LAN event as an active player.

"My goal at the beginning of all this back in January was to put our scene high on the European map, and I think I succeeded at that, both in regard to this team and our national team. Even then I knew that at some point I will have to move aside and let them play without me.

"That moment has come, so now it's up to the guys to continue practicing and playing well while I sit back and enjoy.

"Regarding k1Ng0r and NENO, they are outstanding players, I have no doubt that they will play great. The only thing that worries me is whether any of them has the mentality to keep this team together. I was hoping that would be Janko, but he went in a different direction, he had his reasons and I completely understand him.

"I enjoyed every moment, every round and every map, whether it was a win or a loss, all my teammates were great and I wish them all the luck. I would especially like to single out Janko "YNk" Paunović as one of the best teammates I ever had." – said Trifunović in a statement for Serbian e-sports portal E-Frag.net.

Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković returns to the team after a short stint as a free agent, and joining him is Macedonian player and his former teammate in ENTiTY Anel "NENO" Ceković, who left his long-term team last month and was on the lookout for a new opportunity.

"I think this squad is very strong and that we can accomplish a lot, but whether we will do that depends solely on us and the effort we put in. There were some other potential plans, but in the end this is the lineup with big potential, and as everyone would probably agree, a serious team in the Balkan region is unimaginable without NiKolinho.

As far as NENO is concerned, I think we missed a player like him in our old lineup. He is an all-round player and I think he will improve our team in mid-round and clutch situations, and that he will be very important in general.

I also hope that kassad will stay with us because his influence on this team's development was huge and we will definitely need his help with the new lineup. As I said, it will take a lot of effort and work, but we are hoping for the best." – Bošković said for E-Frag.net.

iNation's new lineup:

Luka "emi" Vuković
Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković
Nikola "NiKolinho" Kovač
Nestor "1NTEL" Tanić
Anel "NENO" Ceković

The team is currently sitting in 3rd place of SLTV StarSeries VIII with 4 wins and 2 losses, and they are also set to take part in RaidCall EMS One Winter season.
