Pimp: "We want to be well-rounded"

We caught up with dignitas' Jacob 'Pimp' Winneche to talk about the fledgling team's victory over Liquid and thoughts to come.

With dignitas having recently added Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann to its roster and then attended DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca only to go out in the groups with losses to both EnVyUs and CLG, it was surely a welcome sign of news that the team opened their attendance of CEVO Season 8 with a win.

Shutting down Liquid 2-0 was no easy feat, especially with a North American team packed with so much starpower, so we caught up with Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche back at the hotel to talk about the result, the team's current state, and the future.

More of our interviews from CEVO Season 8 as well as other HLTV.org videos can be found on our Youtube channel here.

He looks fantastic. Very lean, this is common in cyclists like himself. Infact it's the very opposite of awful, fucking amazing transformation and now he's incredibly fit. People seem to think larger dudes who lose weight are just gonna be bulky and muscly once they're done, but it's not true. What Pimp has done is remarkable.

Can confirm. I used to cycle when I was more overweight, and I lost a lot of fat and now I'm really skinny. My brother also had the same issue, but did more core workouts and now he has more muscle and looks fit and skinnier at the same time. :)

I'm glad he's lost so much weight but maybe you should start lifting pimp. You'd look much better if you gained some mass

He looks good now, people can be harsh to you when you're not "normal" for them, very impressed and this guy has all my respect (just like walle). I'm still a big fan of him/dignitas, but to be honest, I feel like it's a waste to make him AWP most of the time, he's one of the sickest riflers in danemark.

Is that what "Good" looks like to you? He looks below average for danish standards atleast and should start lifting instead of only riding his god damn bike 10 hours a day.
