NIP COO to step in for THREAT at BLAST Premier Fall Groups

Jonas Gundersen has been registered as Ninjas in Pyjamas's coach for the Swedish team's upcoming matches.

Ninjas in Pyjamas will be joining the BLAST servers without their coach Björn "⁠THREAT⁠" Pers, who was left off the team sheet due to "unforeseen personal circumstances". Instead of the 33-year-old Swede, Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser and co. will be having the team's Chief Operating Officer Jonas Gundersen assisting in the matches during the group stage.

THREAT's omission was described as a temporary situation by the organization, with the coach set to return to his position for the following events. Even at BLAST, THREAT will be helping the team as much as possible as they are set to clash with the likes of BIG and G2.

THREAT will still be working with the team during the event

"Due to some short-term unforeseen personal circumstances, potentially making me unavailable for the games, we thought it was better that we had a coach registered that we knew could be with the team, and let Jonas [Gundersen] do it instead for BLAST Groups," THREAT said in a statement to HLTV.org. "I am still there 100% working with the team, and hope to be there for the games as well, although not on the server!"

Heaton is not part of NIP anymore lol. He left like 3 years ago. On top of that he is busy with his wife and children. I believe he works with Esportal and some smaller business stuff that he invested in + streaming. Calc is not a bad replacement for just 1 event tbh.

Hampus is a good rifler but he is an awful IGL. Have you seen how he peaks in the most dangerous areas without flashin or smoking, and is always the first to die
2021-09-19 20:34
0
I mean, his IGLing is basically that it either works or it doesn't. So many times when the opponent knows what they're doing and he can't change it because his IGLing sucks. The biggest downside with NIP atm is definitely Hampus. Really bad at adapting to the enemy. They're like G2. It either works, or they lose. Because they certainly can't adapt.

As a player and fragger, Hampus is generally ok, however, as an IGL, he really sucks … - No strats or tactics, just brawl … - And not using Device properly is just a waste
