NiP confirm Xizt stay

28-12-2015 18:25

Ninjas in Pyjamas have confirmed that Richard "Xizt" Landström has signed a new contract with the organisation.

The 24-year-old is the second confirmed team member for 2016, following in the footsteps of Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg, who was unveiled by NiP on Sunday.

The announcement comes amidst reports that NiP's other two Swedish players, Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg and Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund, will also sign new contracts and that the quartet will be joined on the roster by former SK Gaming and Winterfox member Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi.

Xizt stays on in NiP

NiP will continue to announce their roster for 2016 one player at a time until New Year's Eve. The team's confirmed lineup currently consists of:

Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg
Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström

Expected ;)

They said they wanted to be the best esports team and that they knew what their problems were.. still keeping the same team and hoping for changes but it wont happen. Well no NiP feeling without getright and f0rest so I hope they stay and no pyth pls I want mekelekelelele like last year <3

Pronax would probably make the difference Xizt is pretty sick rifler if they could unleash him from the igl role.

I thought so too. JW said on stream he heard pronax turned them down, though - he wanted to build a team with lesser known players. Apparently twist also turned them down (several times) because he preferred to play with his mates.

Damn, that's interesting lol. I guess Pronax wants to show he can be a sick igl and lead a team with less talent and recognition to fame and glory too. Hopefully Pyth works out for NiP. Now they can all speak their native language in their comms and hopefully have better teamwork, although Allu was a really good player, he wasn't the fifth NiP needed imo. He was just a good "stand-in" type player imo. Never fit the role NiP needed specifically but still performed well

No he really doesn't have a point. Them all speaking swedish is literally not essential. Every swede speaks basically flawless english. Allu was a very good 5th player and he was the one they needed because he brought a lot of skill and a good awp to the lineup where there was no way in hell they were gonna get entries with friberger LOL. If he wasn't the guy they need there never was a guy they need because Xizt won't setup around their best player (allu) because he's stuck in 2013 where NiP could just walk into sites and win

Well I agree with you too. But maybe they let pyth go aggro and just spinbot around, let friberg support, and most importantly GET_ MOTIVATION. I think Xizt will start thinking about strats more now. After this shit year.

I don't think anything will change in this team. In fact It'll probably be worse. Allu added another dimension to the team by being able to actually combat other top awpers to an extent (guardian, device, karrigan, kenny, olof, pigW, maikelele, fox etc) but now I don't understand what they do because they have the worst map pool in the game, worst igl in the game (he plays an open defaulty style with lesser skilled players which doesn't work), besides their map pool being shit he also has the worst banning of maps Idk what this move does tbh. They used to and still do like dust I think which they can't play properly anymore They could become a decent inferno team Mirage they usually stay away from but now they definitely should. Train they can't play well like this Nuke if it comes back in I'm sure they can still play it to a degree I just don't understand why they'd do this Xizt has always run a more defaulty open style and more skill in the lineup certainly helps ; EXCEPT with a lineup that in general has less skill I don't think this helps because they still have a shit map pool Sorry I'm ranting. I don't like NiP I really despise them and they're really really really fucking stupid

I agree with you but i just want to point out one key thing that most people dont realize. allu had a very passive playstyle and it was up to friberg/f0rest to make opening frags and as we know friberg failed miserbly. If they add aggressive player they might actually lock down games. Im not saying they will, im saying adding aggressive player might change their playstyle a lot.

2015-12-29 04:41

4 replies

Allu did have a passive play style I agree. The team really didn't setup around him tho because they have an open play style with a shit igl and lesser skilled entry players. Now they have a slightly more skilled lineup but they still don't have a way of fighting double awp setups on T side. AND they don't have the capabilities of double awping CT when push comes to shove Idk I understand what they want to do but it's a really stupid way of doing it I think It probably will change their playstyle

I know fifflaren´s era isnt compareable but one thing fifflaren was actually good at is getting 1st frags. But i think the scene is way different now. They should have sacked friberg and xizt and added pronax and maybe twist? I dont think 2016 will be much different for them.

2015-12-29 04:53

2 replies

Yeah They added a player that in theory should've replaced friberg. Even keeping xizt I think is stupid BUT adding more skill to the lineup makes their open style more viable Idk I think the roster needs a comeplete revamp Twist has denied NiP 3 times LOL so he's out of the question I would've been down for pyth forest gtr and trying to get rubino out of dignitas if they couldn't get pronax

I thought twist said on stream that he would accept an offer from NIP. And yeah I think the only way xizt could stay in the lineup is if he was a full-time open-fragger.

2015-12-29 05:00

them all speaking swedish is essential. allu mumbling some shit you cant understand is not enough. but thats not the problem no, allu left by himself. finnish team going full-time. what figures? i dont care to read your wall of text.. but honestly i hate how clueless you are about what nip are capable of doing if they themselves are motivated. bring the "nip fangay comments" bring it, all i know is that individual skill is not what nip need and it never was. we're talking about fifflarens spot here, you realize?

You're a fucking idiot Allu spoke perfectly fine english. All swedes speak basically flawless english, I believe Allu understood a good amount of swedish, isn't it weird how he tried out for an AMERICAN team. Isn't it weird how many pros said he had offers from other teams? Hm I think if he could only speak finnish and "allu mumbling some shit you cant understand" he wouldn't have any offers because nobody can communicate with the guy.

Just cause you are a fucking burger who doesn't talk anything else than ENGLISH. doesn't mean that your home language isn't THE MOST LOGICAL choice to thinking.. especially in the REAL moment without thinking. You do realize that allu could call in swedish right? You learn swedish in finland. Not to the degree that you can talk fluently, but so you can call some basic ass fucking spots. But hey, hola boy, go mumble your english to your mommas titties. im sure shes still breastfeeding your faggot ass. How many languages do you speak btw? I speak 3 and only a bit of swedish and if im gonna do math.. or really fucking try to explain something, its gonna be my home language.

Lmao you realize that you're wrong so you whip out the insults lmAO. You learn swedish in finland (he understood swedish) You learn english in Finland (he called in english) And fins speak fluently in english just like the rest of Scandinavia. And it's like AS IF the finnish swedish mix was the reason they were shit LOL. There's an international team that had 4 different languages. They got top8 at a major. And if you remember in ESWC a FULL ukrainian team (flipside) played with an AMERICAN MEMBER (hiko) with only one person that called in english (their coach half translated what they were doing) and guess what! They upset NiP LOL yea I'm sure the lack of skill wasn't the problem and communication was

you're not understanding the point here, maybe you are delusional like your countryfellow fodder.. communication has never been the problem why nip are losing... even when they're losing they are considered one of the best teams in the world. you are telling me, that allu could've brought them to the absolute top again? no mate, hes much better off in finnish full time team again. it was never about communication but you're taking it in the ass so hard also you gotta get along, you know? hiko was playing with s1mple in f3 on that lan. now s1mple is joining hiko full-time in liquid.

If you were actually around when flipside beat NiP at ESWC you would know that there was an interview with Hiko and he said that the coach relatively called the strat in english after blade called in Ukrainian. Communication IS the problem like you say - AND I quote them all speaking swedish is essential. allu mumbling some shit you cant understand is not enough. but thats not the problem no, allu left by himself. finnish team going full-time. what figures? The entire point of both of those is pointing out that Allu did not communcate well and he knew it. Therefore he is joining a finnish team because he can not do what he did in NiP any longer. Man using your own words against you. Stop contradicting yourself. I have a first world education as the son of two lawyers. Thanks

We're talking about fifflaren spot here. Excuse me you may have down syndrome. I guess your blind nip fangaying doesn't seem to realize that when fifflaren was on the team, it had the best IGL in the game (because he ran an open style with 3 of the top5 players in the world), and had the best player in the world, best entry fragger in the world, and best secondary awper in the world. What has NiP done since they had the worst entry fragger in the world? A lurker who's still a decent player, but lurking has basically passed from the game? Oh right that's right they have done nothing because now that they don't have the best entryfragger in the world and the best players in the world they can't run an open style with the worst IGL in the top8 AND now they have a shit map pool. In fact this "fifflaren spot(my god you have autism) Was part of the only reason they got two the finals of two majors since dreamhack winter. Maikelele played phenomenal in DHW and carried the team. And if you recall (I know I'm sure you think get_right was the best player in the world this tournament) Allu carried all three maps of the final he played in.

Or did you grow up in the hood or smthn? Comprehension skillz of a 5 year old. You would think you could at least be able to think in your home language. Yet you rant about allu bringing results and top fragging. Well no fucking shit you fucking genius? Allu left by himself you fucking turtle. What are you a fucking bee living in a rotten fat cunt? BZZ BZZ i'm a fucking dumbass squirt squirt.. fucking bitch ass.... why do u think they're trying to fill in with new skillz fucking turtle bitch.. literally the only player NIP has kicked was maikelele.. bitchass

I just explained why it isn't a fifflaren (no skill support role) you fucking brainheaded idiot. Also my english is flawless in spelling and mostly grammar; I did mess up a few commas here and there. And this is straight from the article of Allu not being resigned by NiP. Isn't it sort of weird how the did not "kick" Allu - except they did not replace him, but rather they decided to completely change the role of the person that they brought in. His announcement ties into the endless speculation about the team's future which started several months ago, but which was recently refuted by the organization.

Even though Swedes speak good english, it is still not the same as speaking swedish ingame. I know this myself (just speaking from a pure communication perspective). It is not the same to play with mates who speak your native language as opposed to someone who does not.

2015-12-29 01:40

I don't know if you're a troll, retarded or both. I stopped read your replys halfways because they where so full of shit. Let me give you a lesson please my friend. If you knew Swedish (Which I understand you don't, otherwhise you wouldn't be writing this incorrect shit) If you reguarly listens to NiP com's, with a understanding about what they're saying, you would understand that there IS A BIG!!!!!!!!!! difference between having 4 swedish, and one player who speaks finnish-broken english or 5 Swedish players. Allu sure did try his best to learn swedish, he knew some small words like KORTA (CW) LÅNGA (long) etc etc. There was no FLUENT Swedish speaking for him so to 90% he used english in his coms. What you don't understand is, that small DETAILED and IMPORTANT coms, is much easier to say on your native langauge, especially QUICK, rather than the whole team speaking a nation al language like English. TLDR: They will perform much better with pyth, cuz Pyth SURE is more skilled than allu in every way, and they also have the advantage of speaking swedish. Yes im a REALIST and not a swedish NiP-fanboy.

I think allu is a far better player than pyth but Idk how bad the comms were. I remember it being said that Allu understood most swedish and couldn't speak it. In that case I imagine it isn't that bad Obviously you swedes have a better idea than I do But I still would argue that pyth is not near the level player allu was/is and I think that communication was NOT the problem with NiP but rather their other players. That's mostly the hole point of these 20-30 replies But If you say I'm wrong on the comms thing well so be it. I probably am you're swedish

2015-12-29 22:24

lol so you're just fucking salty that Allu left. You act like Allu got kicked or something. He fucking left himself you dipshit. Allu was not the one they "needed". He was just a solid all-rounder player. Maikelele was a better fit for NiP

2015-12-28 22:37

2 replies

I liked allu as a player but I hated NiP. Yeah I think he should've stayed because he wasn't the problem. NiP has come out and said that allu wasn't the right fit for the team. Which be it as it may isn't a problem EXCEPT that he wasn't the problem in the team. And he was pressured into leaving. If allu wanted to resign with NiP they wouldn't let him. It was more a mutual split

2015-12-29 12:38

Listening in to their voice comms, the speech barrier was certainly a much bigger issue than they ever admitted. Calls in English were brief whereas most Swedish is constant forth-and-back. They basically translate what they think is relevant to allu. He probably understood much of the Swedish, but it's still very damaging to the team.

Xizt isn't a bad option if someone else can be IGL, but I really think NiP are too stubborn to change that if they can avoid it.

Xizt is the best skilled IGL but his mind stopped in 2013... I guess it's time to innovate and to get new strats.

A new era means changing something substantial, they haven't changed a thing and can't bring in anyone better then Alu since he was pretty much their best player through out the year, so they are more fucked in 2016 then 2015 lol. New era of shit.

2015-12-28 23:55

Pls bring in f0rp and gtr too :)

2015-12-28 19:24

they offered pronax a spot but he declined them because he doesn't wanna play with them. like a lot of other people did before they went with pyth.

2015-12-28 19:46

Xizt can be beast if he isn't doing ingame leader. Seriously what they need is new IGL. When GTR was calling for a while, Xizt was constantly dropping 20 - 30 bombs. + Pronax would be smart decision (as well as - Friberg + Schneider/Twist, but that hope is already gone).

2015-12-28 19:45

zZZzzZzz I really wish they would go bankrupt so they could all just split up.

xizt is ok, he stabilized during the second half of the year. very snappy aimstyle, is a good mix compared to the more fluent crossmovements of gtr and f0rp. ..but.. i still dont know what caused them to keep friberg..

2015-12-28 22:18

agreed, gone whit xizt and fatburger, they are the lowest skilled atm, and the same will happen in 2016, but i guess they are friends/familiy, so they cant have an honest talk about how much the 2 of them realy suck, you know in consideration to the other top 5 team's.

2015-12-28 23:56

So currently NIP ranks as 6th? Next year they will be 8th, at least Luminosity and G2 will move past them.

2015-12-28 22:13

Why is this happening? Why is hltv doing a countdown to the full list of who stays in NIP? This is the most underwhelming news ive seen in a long time. I mean I know there isnt much to report on right now but cmon...

2015-12-28 23:40

I was so hyped for some mad swedish revamped lineup considering amount of people that are "free"... It won't make any difference if they just swap the 5th guy. Unless they actually adapt to game changes and increase their map pool it's gonna be the same tragic movie over and over again :/

2015-12-29 01:10

Keeping friberg was a mistake, he is the biggest problem for NiP. This new lineup is not going to change a thing. They need a better igl so Xizt can entry and they need to drop friberg.

I'm gonna love watching NIP never win a damn thing again.

2015-12-29 02:31

do anything..... don't touch f0rest, gtr plss but with pyth abt to join, and f0rest most probably wouldn't be the primary awper, it will be this right?? goldbreg (:@) xizt pyth (if yes .. whyyyyyyyyy ?????) gtr or another primary awper ?? f0rest or another primary awper ?? ps. should have been: allu or jkaem xizt or rain gtr f0rest pronax but y bother

2015-12-29 07:16

Are HLTV really going to make a news post for NiP every single day until they release their whole team? PLZ.

2015-12-29 07:36

lol, if you're really gonna change just 1 player, why not declare the change right away? What's all this hype about?

2015-12-29 07:47

I got insider info... next one will be f0rest. Yeah you heard it here first.

2015-12-29 08:27

They put too much drama around the whole shit

2015-12-29 08:59

they save the bad news for the end? Just say who is leaving and give the lineup.

2015-12-29 09:28

What if gtr and f0rest leave ( to optic (O.o) ? ) to form a team with pronax, maybe allu and someone else; maybe even devilwalk (i won't recommend devilwalk though tbh).... ?! That would b my new fav team. Rip nip indeed

2015-12-29 09:50

hltv is licking NiP's ass because they have no other team news, yet need to put content every day. that's why there's boring NiP player reveal posts every day =[

I REALLY hope that the rumours are true and that NiP stays NiP. I don't care if they don't win all the time, honestly, it's more exciting like this with them not being the #1 team, that they must "strike from below". The most important thing is that they are having fun and that they stay as a group. Thank you NiP for not going the stupid throw-out-everyone way that many other teams seems to do. After all, if you switch almost everyone, is it really the same team?
