aimface bring back YNk

aimface have announced that Janko "YNk" Paunović has been brought in to replace Anel "NENO" Ceković.

The Serbian team have been very active in the last few weeks, during which they finished runners-up to GPlay in the ESL SouthEast Europe Championship and the New Year Invitational following two close finals against the Bulgarian side.

With the 99Damage Arena #4 kicking off on Monday and with it the prospect of collecting $2,500, the team decided to replace Anel "⁠NENO⁠" Ceković with Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović, who returns to activity after almost a year on the sidelines.


YNk returns to the team 

Meanwhile, it has been announced that Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović, who mentored Indian side Wolf on their way to ESL One Cologne, is joining as coach, which means that the team will use the name iNation once again.

"After many ups and downs lately we decided to make a change before it's too late. We removed NENO because it was hard to handle him in-game, and we added YNk as we desperately need a good AWPer to take the load off of me.
Kassad is back as our coach because he has the most knowledge about CS in our region and we'll more than need it as we try to reach the next major.

"After many ups and downs lately we decided to make a change before it's too late," Nikola "NiKolinho" Kovač told HLTV.org.

"We removed NENO because it was hard to handle him in-game, and we added YNk as we desperately need a good AWPer to take the load off of me.

"Kassad is back as our coach because he has the most knowledge about CS in our region and we'll more than need it as we try to reach the next major."

iNation now have the following team:

Bosnia and Herzegovina "⁠⁠"
Serbia Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić
Serbia Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković
Serbia Nemanja "⁠k1Ng0r⁠" Bošković
Serbia Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović

My comment didn't have anything to do with language. So since you're clearly fucking clueless allow me to educate you. The original question was "Why did NENO get removed" and I responded with "We removed NENO because it was hard to handle him in-game" as I was quoting what is litterally written in the article as the official reason.
