GamePub lose NiKolinho, YNk, emi

GamePub have announced that they have lost three of their members, Nikola "NiKolinho" Kovač, Janko "YNk" Paunović and Luka "emi" Vuković.

After their last lineup change in January, Serbian team GamePub went on to win a local Balkan event SteelSeries CS:GO Calling, but later failed to make it through the EMS One Katowice European qualifiers and Fragbite Masters qualifiers, which eventually sealed their fate.


emi and NiKolinho leave GamePub

Following those disappointing losses, as well as a loss to k1ck in SLTV StarSeries last week and not making it past the group stage in GSL Cup the week before, Luka "emi" Vuković and Nikola "NiKolinho" Kovač decided to leave the team.

Shortly after the duo's departure, Janko "YNk" Paunović decided to call it quits due to not wanting to start all over again with a couple of new players. The team's manager and former player Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović also won't be behind the project any more.

17-year-old rising star Kovač explained that he lost motivation with the current squad, but isn't giving up on CS:GO by any means and he even hinted that he would consider joining an international lineup in the future.

"My primary reason for leaving the team is that I was very disappointed with our play, we have been playing very badly the last couple of months and with that we had bad results. We failed to qualify for one of the biggest tournaments, we even failed to reach the main qualifier which was our primary goal, so you could say that's what mainly caused my motivation to drop.

It didn't pay off anymore to invest time and effort into this team, so now I will focus on my private life, but it's not unlikely that I will be back to CS:GO, it could happen at any moment." – Nikola "NiKolinho" Kovač stated for HLTV.org

GamePub now have only two members:

Serbia Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković
North Macedonia Anel "NENO" Ceković

The two remaining members Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković and Anel "NENO" Ceković will stick together and will try to create a new lineup under the GamePub banner.

The team currently holds slots in SLTV StarSeries and Gfinity Alienware Pro League, but it is not certain whether they will able to keep them due to losing more than half of the squad.

Stupid move. They play bad, but not very bad. They are good. Now NiKo will be ZERO. Bcs he cant play LAN, Serbia dont have good teams, GamePub was best. NiKo cant travel with some good team on LAN tours bcs of school and ages. He cant travel with mum or father every time, even he find new team. He destroy GamePub, yes I agree that he maybe lose time, but now will be even worse player, without all these tournaments. I dont think that GamePub will be good team ever like before, so Neno and k1ng0r dont have chance to make good team. Even if they find 3 players they cant change these 3. This is bad news for balkan, bcs I cant believe that we cant creat 1 normal team, but we have big CS community. Every second "child" play CS 1.6 or CS:Go, but we cant make normal team. Look Norway / Sweden etc... they can make 100 "pro" teams, we cant 1. Sad news, sad. Now dont have what to watch on HLTV.org. I watched ALL GAME PUB matches. Now ..... wish best Neno/k1ng0r to make even "semi-pro" team. NiKo now enjoy bcs you are "superstar", but BIG KID. KID who destroy last one good balkan team. Sorry NiKo fans, but he disappointed me.

Really sad news but i already saw this coming they were really good in sltv finals but after they kicked intel and replaced him with ynk (emi waas the igl when they played in the sltv finals)then they changed to ynk i don't know why and after that they have just been playing really bad losing eco rounds in almost every game there ct wasn't even near as strong as when emi was the igl but i think they had a better t side but i think the biggest problem for them was that there shooting was very off maybe they should play a bit more dm to get back to there normal standards niko and neno still played good ynk solid but emi and king didn't play up to there level there communication was off but guys if you read this i hope that you get back toghter and start playing might sound weird but why not try having emi as an igl on the ct side and ynk on the t plus i also think that this was the strongest team that we had another thing that worries me is that kassad left and that ynk left becuase he didn't want to start over with a new team so that means if he is gonna play again they will need to have 3 of the orignal members hope you guys rejoin sad :(

the only possibility to get a better team than GP would be merging entity with hsbg, but that's as possible as merging a croatian and a serbian team - not likely. ps. i also wanted to say that it's an expected move by nikola and emi. an expected sign of immaturity, except if niko's actually gotten better offers. which he probably hasnt

in 1.6 he was comparable to geko and king0r, now he's like top15 EU in terms of aim/fragging ability. but that's beside the point. the point is that from what ive seen both in 1.6 and csgo, entity have the best teamplay on balkans - teamplay is all theyve got after neno's departure. what is your opposite opinion based on, except for "whats wrong with u dude hahaha LMAO"

dude i will say it one more time.THERE IS NO POINT TO MERGE BOTH TEAMS WHEN ONE IS MUUUUUUUUUUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER AND DONT NEED CHANGES.ITS NOT LIKE any PLAYER from EnTitY can be useful for hsbg or something.Also language barrier do u think about this?

i am slovenian, i speak serbian and i study macedonian. i understand as much bulgarian as macedonian (after 1 week of listening to bulgarian rap). i cant speak bulgarian tho. hsbg could do better than it is doing now, i believe entity gameplay and nikolinho could help. if you dont, fuck it. only pnshr and viktor are okay in csgo at this moment.

i was just speculating. and as i said in #102, it is highly unlikely for anything like that to happen.
