NiP add THREAT as strategic coach

18-10-2019 18:14

Björn "⁠THREAT⁠" Pers will be making his return to Ninjas in Pyjamas, joining the team as the second coach alongside Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita.

The Swedish tactician THREAT spent two years with Ninjas in Pyjamas over the period of 2016-2018, with his addition helping reinvigorate the squad and playing a partin in winning tournaments such as StarSeries Season 2 Finals and IEM Oakland 2016 and 2017. He eventually stepped down at the start of 2018 to "pursue other things in life", with pita coming in as a replacement.

THREAT returns to NiP; to focus on "strategies and executes"

This time, the two coaches will be working together, with THREAT focusing on the tactical side of the game. pita noted that he has "long been looking" for a person to join him in the coaching team, with THREAT's set to be working "from a distance":

"THREAT and his mastermind will have a lot of responsibilities coming into this team. I believe it’s healthy for me and the team to have another person with both coaching and in-game leader experience entering the team. We will work closely together and evaluate as time comes on how to make this work in the best possible way. He will be working with me on distance but occasionally joining us for practices in our facilities in Stockholm.

"At first he will be assisting me in structuring and tuning the team even more in situational plays and executes. He will also assist me and the players in preparations for our matches. Lastly, he will have the responsibility of helping our in-game leader to maximize his potential both as a player and in-game leader, something he has a lot of experience in." - pita

After playing out their first ESL Pro League group stage and qualifying for ECS Season 8 Finals, Ninjas in Pyjamas will be heading for Turkey, where they will be competing at StarSeries i-League Season 8 on October 21-28.

Ninjas in Pyjamas are now:

Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg
Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson
Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora
Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson

Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita (coach)
Björn "⁠THREAT⁠" Pers (coach)

Amazing pickup for NiP! Now kick paycheck stealer pita pls mens))

hahaha, I was expecting from someone on HLTV

2019-10-20 05:59

Back in 2016 he literally changed meta of CS and made NIP win couple of tournaments, imo he can still do that, he is very smart with what he is doing.

I am soooo hyped for this. I actually believe NiP can be a top 5 contender again!! Great move to add THREAT, the tactical aspect is what they have been lacking for a long time!

2019-10-18 20:25

nip was literally trash for almost the entire time that threat was coach. there is no reason that nip will be any good now

2019-10-18 21:02

they were the best Cache team in the world, which was largely down to threat, and basically the only reason they won Oakland and SL

2019-10-19 03:51

i think the only reason for their win was forest playing like in 1.6 for a short period of time. 1 great map (usually) isnt enough to win tournaments

2019-10-19 12:40

From memory, it was being let through every veto, and they won it every time... Going 1-0 in every bo3 is a pretty big deal.

2019-10-19 23:00

hellz ye

2019-10-18 19:37

is pita even getting paid tho?

2019-10-18 18:17

He doing it for experience

2019-10-18 18:22

lol so much for experience, he has a life, family, isnt he?

2019-10-18 18:26

Sorry my Englando no go fren

2019-10-18 19:27

sego pecel hahahaha well I think if he and his family can get decent food and living just from him coaching why not

2019-10-18 20:00

+1 couldn’t agree more

2019-10-18 18:36

Tactical genius

2019-10-18 18:43

PLS kick Pita

2019-10-18 19:30

You do realize pita is cleared from that case right? He never stole the charity money. It's confirmed by fifflaren, R. Lewis, former NiP CEO, etc.

2019-10-18 20:40

nice

waste of money for t3 team

6 replies

And what do you suggest tactical genius? How are they goin to be a t1 again?

2019-10-18 19:51

that’s the thing, Swedish CS is just dead, no t1 teams Fnatic fluke but close to t1 contender Nip trash and unless they go international they’ll stay trash and GamerLegion t3 who cars

2019-10-18 22:19

I mean like at this point the cs is at its worst. all the old t1 teams (nip, Fnatic, VP, G2, SK/LG/MiBR, maybe faze etc) are either disbanded or change their rosters all the time. We don't know who is #1. No one has an era. No ones 100% stable. We will have to wait and see.

2019-10-18 23:27

1gor1 is kind of correct lol. cs is growing and always at its best. old teams disband/trash cuz they can not catch up to other team's step. we have much more team work/strategic and much more talant nowadays. guys like zywoo and s1mple do more crazy highlights in one year than gtr's whole career(gtr is a great palyer anyway). every top teams are doing better and better in general

2019-10-19 01:04

So then every scene except Danmark is dead?

2019-10-19 10:04

Hahaha. Are you for real? Fluke? Fnatic lost to Astralis in two days ago with 4 rounds over a bo3. They are top 3 in the world.

2019-10-19 10:37

just kick pita pls

poggers!

yikes

nice but still dead team

who

new meta? POGGERS

the LEGEND is back <3

Should've never gotten pita in the first place. Happy THREAT is back though!

Nice lineup of coaches

expected because of youtube channel from NiP

2019-10-18 18:16

The saviour of swedish cs <3

Great move, good to see he is back into CS

lets go POGGERS

finally! Still twist is a problem though, nawwk or draken are better (sadly) than very mediocre twist, there's a reason fnatic didn't want him because he's average at best but a bot most of the time.

2019-10-18 18:18

NIP take twist for his experience and passive play...if threat will make them more active, they will bring nawwk in 2020

2019-10-18 18:19

Nip took him because fnatic took the good swedes

2019-10-18 19:40

GL didn’t want to sell Nawwk

2019-10-18 20:12

Two coaches new meta Pog

NiP so bad they need to have two coaches lmao

EU flag lmao

2019-10-18 18:25

pita so bad he needs a second coach*

2019-10-18 18:33

Lets go boisss

Just remove pita and get THREAT back to coaching. Cant see any improvement since pita joined

+100 so damn true

2019-10-19 02:45

Yeeeees

Pita sweating right now haha

Thats definetly a twist of situation and a threat for the rest of the team, pita of a coach tbh.

2019-10-18 18:20

he said good jobs to veterans referring to getr, but they need fresh blood so he basically means forest will also be replaced soon??😋

no it just means pita is a vampire and he needs blood

2019-10-18 20:22

nice. welcome back

Good addition, just remove pita imo.

nip in 2k19 OMEGLAUL

2019-10-18 18:21

Pita paycheck stealer

i still dont know what this man is doing in nip besides getting free money and ruining nips status, which isnt even that well according to their performances + heatons stealing social media drama. lmao nip

emotional support

2019-10-19 09:50

very cool nip

pita just said that threat will be the tactical genius and so on ... threat will not change their play style in this moment ...next year threat will be the main coach

they will have to pay him well or he will have better things to do soon

2019-10-18 18:28

nip top 3 incoming :) only thing they need to do is to kick pita

pita is irrelevant in this moment...he was lost, this is why they needed threat

2019-10-18 18:23

Legend back

Nice! Lets go NiP nice signing best coach alongside zonic

pog

Legend's never die :-)

Was pita there only to cheer them up? lmfao

2019-10-18 18:24

2019-10-18 19:41

2019-10-18 18:27

Nip going to be good again

Let's see if he gets paid :DDD

Wtf??

2019-10-18 18:38

strategic coach = will replace pita in the next few months

They should've done this years ago

2019-10-18 18:41

pita now professional fist bumper xD

2019-10-18 18:45

Hell yeaaaaaaah. Now its even 2 veterans in the team.

kick pita

2019-10-18 18:47

2019-10-18 18:48

Sick

nice now kick pita. useless bench warmer

Strategic coach? Sounds cool, now add: * tactic coach * aim coach * movement coach * communication coach * mental coach * physic coach But keep pita as main coach of course.

2019-10-18 18:49

hahahaha

2019-10-18 19:09

+Zeus as tactic coach +Kane as alcohol coach +Scream as aim coach +phoon as movement coach +Loba as communication coach +mOE as mental coach +Pasha as physic coach +boddy as wallbang coach And sure thing keep Pita and THREAT.

2019-10-18 20:26

I don’t get why m0e should be mental coach, pls fill me in mens))

2019-10-18 22:56

Because i would be scared to lose a match if i knew, what this guy would talk to me after the game about that, mens))))) youtube.com/watch?v=MhKjD3tUmfw

2019-10-19 09:12

It's great to see CS:GO raising so fast. Na`Vi and Astralis were great examples of professionalism. Psychologists, masseurs (hello Na`Vi). And NiP created new role - strategic coach. GL THREAT. Remember you since 1.6 old times.

2019-10-18 18:51

New role???!!!??!?!?! That's what coach should do at the first place!!!! But in CS for some dumb reason half of them are "cheerleaders". PS. Coach =/= psychologist

2019-10-19 09:09

niiice finally

2019-10-18 18:57

So this just officially confirms that pita is contributing (almost) nothing to the team?

2019-10-18 18:58

yes

2019-10-18 19:01

he rubs their shoulders though

2019-10-18 19:14

why no decent team hired this guy? wasting his time in nip, sad

2019-10-18 18:59

NiP signed threat cuz they are afraid of some other org will take him when threat finished his personal stuffs kappa

2019-10-18 20:03

naice

2019-10-18 19:02

should have just kicked pita and have this guy do everything

FUCKIN FINALLY! Just why not replace Pita entirely tho...

2019-10-18 19:03

Kick pita and sign him as main ffs!!!

2019-10-18 19:05

Holy fuck, FINALLY Lets go!

2019-10-18 19:07

It was about time. pita never, ever! Was a good player nor a coach.

He will still be the main coach. On stage and in-games

2019-10-18 19:12

OH YES DADDY'S BACK , NiP top 5 inc.

hahahahah

nice i like this, NiP played maybe one of the structure and best cs when THREAT legend was there noice! but i miss friberg and gtr so much

2019-10-18 19:10

Fan fucking tastic! Why they need keep pita though? :S

Pita probably knows too much about NIP's shady stuff so they need to keep it a secret for as long as they can. Just my thoughts.

2019-10-18 19:19

Not surprised your thoughts are immature

Well do you have any better reasoning for it?

2019-10-18 19:29

Well, after wathing the video in the post i guess it has to do with the fact that threat already has a full time job and is taking this as a second job, working from home and not going with them to tournaments and such.

2019-10-18 19:39

2019-10-18 19:13

NEXT MAJOR IS YOUR BOYZZZZZZ

replace pita

2019-10-18 19:17

just kick pita

like that will do anything

2019-10-18 19:18

Imagine paying a piece of thin bread to coach LUL

2019-10-18 19:23

LMAO why is pita still there

THANK YOU FOR ADDING THREAT! one of the best times in NiP was with threat, I love how nip played before with Threat, they looked so disciplined and played way better with structure.

I know, right?? Now they play like it's MM. Can't wait to see them now, although I wish they could make him the main coach

2019-10-18 19:47

Pita is useless... he should have been released years ago

2019-10-18 19:32

great now get rid of the scammer

2019-10-18 19:33

OMG I JUST HAD AN ORGASM. now if pita gets kicked this team will go to the top 5 for sure

2 coaches new meta mens))

NiP is back

love it

2019-10-18 19:44

Thank God THREAT back! Now please pita, just leave!

2019-10-18 19:45

Heaven of earth! Welcome back THREAT!

Welcome back THREAT. Can't wait to see you rise NiP to the top again

2019-10-18 19:48

NiP's only recent success was mostly thanks to THREAT. When they limited in-game coaching and THREAT left that was when NiP started sucking horribly again.

2019-10-18 19:53

NIIIIIIIIIIICE!

2019-10-18 19:54

pita still there? Kick him asap!

Da beasts, pita and threat.. gg

2019-10-18 20:36

Nip in 2020: Pita (coach) Threat (coach) Heaton (coach) Carn (coach) Dsn (coach)

so much money to throw around in esports

2019-10-18 20:41

Why not, a lot of sports has more coaches (main, assistant of coach, ...) - can be bring new view

2019-10-18 20:44

Interesting, looking forward to it

2019-10-18 20:47

Who is pita then? Clown coach?

2019-10-18 20:54

Threat > Pita

2019-10-18 21:13

Thats very cool No longer own 1 of 144 ever THREAT mvp round cobblestone case ;'( but the guy bought it for a collection so thats good :) pity no actual sticker but.. 144 ever ! rarest container that will ever exist I think. Some got popped.. some are imposters not actually from the mvp round lol (round 1 untaggeds) THREAT FTW good stuff NiP.. plopski has done nothing but make me like that move, love this move.. G_R knows he did the right thing time goes on and never forget the god :) but these moves are all logical. respect.

2019-10-18 21:15

So Pita is fistbump manager now?

2019-10-18 21:16

youtube.com/watch?v=0G3bgLtIC0s

2019-10-18 21:47

Trick or Treath HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

2019-10-18 22:03

Threat was winning tournaments with an even weaker lineup, with these guys they should be on fire. Although I still think it was useless to get rid of GeT_RIGhT.

that's what im talking about

2019-10-18 22:45

FUCKIN FINALLY

2019-10-18 23:03

why didn´t kick pita?

2019-10-18 23:09

YEEEEES YESSSSSS CMON NOW WE ARE READY

2019-10-18 23:10

this org still alive?

2019-10-18 23:13

Still shit team

2019-10-19 01:06

So if that makes THREAT the “strategic” focused coach, doesn’t that make Pita just useless? I mean, he looks dead on the inside when they play anyway. Just have THREAT travel behind them and have Pita be an analytical coach from behind the scenes.

2019-10-19 01:19
