NIP sign Aleksib; Plopski benched

Adding a third nationality to the team with the signing of Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen, Ninjas in Pyjamas are set to transition into English communication.

Aleksib has signed with Ninjas in Pyjamas, the Swedish organization has announced. Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora has been benched from the team to make room for the new addition. The 25-year-old was allowed to explore his options by G2 at the beginning of the summer break in mid-July, and he was benched the following month after Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen took his place on the team.

The Finnish in-game leader is now set to take over the reins in Ninjas in Pyjamas from Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser and the team's communication will from now on be in English, NIP COO Jonas "⁠calc⁠" Gundersen revealed in a statement.

Aleksib lands a new team following his benching in G2

Gundersen further added that the change was made after the team showed "signs of stagnation." Despite being one of the more consistent teams when it comes to making it deep at the biggest events, Ninjas in Pyjamas have repeatedly fallen short of their goals of clinching a big title.

The Swedish-Danish mixture most recently suffered their toughest exit in months, placing fifth in Group A of ESL Pro League following an atrocious start to the round robin stage that saw NIP go 0-6 in maps across the series. During the tournament, Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner was seen taking over primary AWPing, a role he will transition into full-time moving forward, HLTV.org has learned.

"When there's signs of stagnation, new energy might be needed to keep progressing and we think the timing is right to make a larger change than usual; bringing on Aleksib as IGL and moving our communication to English," Gundersen said.

"Under the leadership of djL, we're excited to see how this new constellation will evolve with new roles and ideas, and will continue our quest towards growing into a championship contending team."

The move comes just in time for the roster lock for the upcoming Regional Major Ranking event, where Ninjas in Pyjamas will fight for a place at the IEM Rio Major. Aleksib will make his debut with the team at the event taking place in Malta from October 4-9, in a group featuring the likes of FaZe, Cloud9, G2, and Astralis.

Ninjas in Pyjamas now have:

Sweden Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser
Sweden Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
Denmark Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen
Sweden Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin
Finland Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen

Sweden Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

Sweden Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora (benched)
Denmark Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz (on leave)

Honestly if they are going this crazy Rez,hampus,phzy, brollan, LNZ/krimz would of made the most sense. Cheap full swedish young with old exp and competitive probably more competitive then this roster now. Ofc what cant be helped cant be helped. brollan,Rez,hampus,device and es3tag would of been the title takers. But thats just how it is right now and for the coming time. Thats life.

No, it's not. There is a reason why people like you suddenly started to use of, and it's because people don't care/don't understand the difference. You are ruining the language.

I mean language has been created to understand eachother better, at least its one of its main purposes. Also i type on a tablet which is a pain in the ass to type my 2nd language in on a casual place. Thats why its a waste of time to try and correct someone else on grammar.

Sure. You are writing: "krimz would of made the most sense" which means "krimz zou van het meest logisch gemaakt" (sorry if there is mistranslation, I googled it). You are writing "of" instead of "have", because the contraction of "would have" is "would've". It sounds like "would of". It's probably because you learned English through audio instead of through text. Just be aware, a lot of people are doing this mistake.

lol I laughed at the google translation that was nice. ah yeah I see now. actually I did learn that. yeah would “have” is the correct one. I think it is a common mistake for us dutchies when we translate to english. thanks for clarifying.

You're using of instead of have. I feel like it's because "would've" sounds like would of. Common mistake, but knowing the difference makes you not sound like an idiot. Some educated Americans I know even make that mistake. It's like saying definately instead of definitely. Dumb, but not super dumb

yea that was my thought too, second caller and him being a great rifler he can bring alot to the team if alexib is doing things right, myabe alexib coming back to a Nordic lineup ppl probably more on the same page and he can do things better.

Completely different languages, other than we loaned some words. I think Polish is closer to Finnish than Swedish is. We have to learn basic Swedish at school though, so maybe they can switch to Swedish over time. .

It's not only about your level of English, it about you playing while talking in English instead of your native language, which is obviously harder, and I'm sure that they'll still use Swedish if left in clutches together, and it's hard for your brain to process the information in the right speed, when you constantly switch it. The sustainability of such roster isn't that good, especially if you add that Brollan wanted to play with swedes obviously to speak Swedish

I felt it. Especially during the ESL, NIP team chemisty was looking different than usual. Especially HAMPUS was not seen happy at all. Probably Es3tag will be benched as well. Device can take his position back.

Yeah but at the same time u kinda have to be open to it nowadays. With FaZe winning the last major everyone started seeing the potential of having an international team. More talent to choose from and all but still not the move I would have done. Let's just hope they can glue something together before the RMR in a month.

Nah, Es3tag is also AWP'ing alongside playing supportive roles and that's really helping NiP out because they don't have an AWP'er. Plopski was finally getting there but he's been underperforming for ages now.

I never thought es3tag to be a good fit for the team, hence imo it would be that swap. I'm also just a big fan of plopksi so obviously I'm sad about his benching.

That's understandable. ^^ It's unclear with what happened to Plopski, he was a great fragger before GTR and f0rest left the team and then he just transitioned into a support/hybrid role that rarely fragged. Still, I'm sure he will find a home elsewhere. ^^

Ztr is much more creative as igl. Furthermore he is young which means that his shitty fraging skills can improve, unlike aleksib who has shitty fraging skills but there is no hope he can improve.

In some ways, putting one of the best potential star players on the awp role can work wonders. letting the most skilled have the highest impact nearly all the top players of past few years have been awper rifler hybrids . if rez has the mechanicals for it, then why not at least trial that winning games more important than fitting an expected role

It's possible but aleksib doesn't really AWP all that much in comparison to REZ or Es3tag, who will most likely be double-AWP duty on the team now. Brollan should stay with rifles and hampus should now play a closer/second-entry role alongside Brollan for a nice dynamic duo kind of thing. hampus and Brollan are NiP's best fraggers, so if this team is to work, they would both need to be carrying NiP alongside Es3tag's support, REZ's entries and aleksib calling rounds.

This only makes sense if -es3tag or -hampus +device no way they would do this otherwise edit: im predicting the device announcement tomorrow Yes there has been "leaks" around a month ago however much can change in 1 month and also the season is well on the go with a major close and teams don't want bigger changes, so this is the only way this move would make sense.

Yeah just assuming felt like a weird announcement time 11pm in sweden, no one works at that time. Sure its a scheduled tweet still a weird time imo. Instead of announcing both at the same time.

Really sick and tired of NiP swapping a player every x months. It's a joke, no stability, the remaining players should just leave the team in protest Plopski playing well lately and now dropped. Makes zero sense Aleksib is not the player they need at all. Hampus and djl already have this role Feel bad for plopski, he's struggled for sure but this is a downgrade so he can't be happy about it.

NiP really continuing to prove they have no idea what they are doing. Hampus is one of the best fragging IGLs, if his strats suck then hire Aleksi as a coach. Cutting Plopski for a much worse fragger isn't going to get NiP anywhere. If AleksiB can't make G2 work how is he going to make NiP work? Worst management I have ever seen. Hope these guys get heckled at LAN 24/7 for this shit decision.

So brollan switches from fnatic go nip because he doesn’t want to communicate in English Nip starts communicating in English ?? Also if you’re willing to remove plopski, why replace him with an IGL?! Hampus is one of the better IGLs we have in the scene currently.. you could’ve easily gotten an AWP for plopski and let esetag go back to a more supportive role I say this is definitely not the only lineup change we see from nip in the next 2 months. And I’m almost certain NiP is worse now

okey first does AleksiB speak swedish? I believe this can only be good because device isnt coming back for a while and nip need to try changing it up. so that hampus can gain some igl experience from AleksiB. when device gets back - AleskiB and hampus back to igl role. I always believed - plopski should get cut somewhere but i doubt this move a lot . specially if they need to sacrifice speaking swedish for this then its defiantly not worth it.

Swedish is second official language in Finland and is compulsory language to learn in Finnish schools. Finnish speakers generally don’t learn Swedish well but if they live in a bilingual area or have a job where Swedish is required they might know it pretty well but it doesn’t look like that’s the case.

g2 fans just love to hate aleksi for no reason. no igl in the world could make g2 top1, just accept it. niko isnt a winner and thats just a fact. m0nesy has a big potential, but he needs to develop. NIP did the right move, now finally they have a proper igl. Its actually a bad move for aleksi cuz this team has no future. There is no real firepower except rez, but he is too inconsistent, Id like to see brolan's performance under aleksi, but i dont really see a big potential. es3tag is the next one to go, together with hampus, they are not t1 players. Nip's only option is to get 2 new talents and improve them for the next year, then try for trophies. A sh*t, but still a better option could be to get f0rest instead of es3tag, just to be more competitive.

Facts, everytime I watch g2 play, I feel like niko always just does his own thing and says ’fuck off’ to any igl and his tactics and calls, malds like a bitch when things doesn’t go his way and hunter is 50/50 listening to igl and cuckolding his cousin and his arrogance. Both aleksi and hooxi look like too much of a ’nice’ person to make niko fall in line. They need someone that can slap the shit out of niko and show him who’s the boss.

He is not their only star rifle. I know that Brollan has looked tough lately, but he is considered Sweden's best player, at least for a while. That's all the analysts talk about when they mention Brollan. And right now he is also ranked higher than Rez. But yes, strange change in my opinion with for Rez. But to say that the Rez is their only star rifle is wrong.

So when Es3tag joined, he was forced to learn Swedish because the team wanted to communicate in Swedish (which was the right thing to do. Avoid switching for the whole team). Brollan then joins because he wants to communicate in Swedish. But now AleksiB joins and the whole team is forced to switch to English? Why not force him to learn Swedish like Es3tag had to do? And like Brollan who changed, among other things, because he wanted to communicate in Swedish. Really bad board in NIP!

I actually don't hate the move, Aleksi's time on G2 wasn't great but wasn't as bad as some fans make it seem. It really depends on how much this can free up Hampus, if his impact can increase even more as a result and he can open up rounds easier then this can be great. But ignoring the issue of not having a legit Tier 1 AWPer is dumb... should have just gotten Mantuu

Obviously we don't know how hampus was feeling in this lineup, maybe he didn't want to IGL anymore, but from the outside this move looks weird. Also REZ to become the AWPer, wtf is going on?! He's a beast with the rifles, it will end up badly for him just like for NiKo. Just keep es3tag on the awp or remove him for an awper! Sacrificing your star rifler together with your igl is going to end up badly for them :/

it doesnt make sense at all tbh, I dont think their problems were igl related and plopski seemed to be doing ok. Hopefully they let him go cheap instead of keeping him on the bench forever. Would have been funny if he went to G2 and suddenly improved that lineup lol.

People seem to think that things are always Black or White. Obviously NIP have pinpointed the AWP issue, but at the same time, if you have a player like REZ, who black on white can AWP but need some time to adjust and find his own way in it. If you at the same time have an IGL who is stuck with no new ideas, no motivation to find new ideas and at the same tuime sits on an unbelievable firepower if only it gets released (Hampus), then suddenly you MIGHT have a solution to your problem. REZ maybe solves the AWP issue Hampus maybe solves the Firepower downgrade with REZ awning Suddenly you need an IGL =) It is so damn easy to scream on this site that changes are bad and what not when you only see whatever you want to see. Open your eyes instead an try to think from another perspective. If they get those pieces to work by changing only the IGL at a fair price... Why not try it, because they are pretty stuck as it is now. Thanks to AleksiB, m0nesy got micromanaged faster into Tier 1 than if niKo or whatever Hunter would have done it. They just focus mainly on them selves to be honest and should do. Wihout AleksiB, m0nesy would still learn angles for tier 1!

the fact that NiP finally made a roster change, but didnt realize they are missing an awper, and proceeded to make their best rifler and awper, is beyond my comprehension. Aleksi is washed, even if he is a good igl. He wont make NiP better, they will remain what the always were

Conflicted feelings about this. Aleksib + hampus as secondary caller could be really good. Changing to English may make them worse though, hard to say. Would like to see Device to come back as an AWPer then I could see this team going somewhere, they absolutely NEED a better AWPer to contest in tier 1. Kinda excited to see a Nordic mix team though, hoping it works out.

Let's review... Switching to English = another step back, especially for Brollan Changing yet another player = another step back Ditching a Swedish young player who is a good fit outside the server = another step back Rez moving to awp instead of rifle where he can be untouchable = another step back Esetag changing away from the AWP back to rifle = another step back as it's a change yet again Hampus being made to suffer through all these changes = another step back Aleksib brought in who has been mostly shit and role clash with hampus = another step back Device situation still not solved = same old shit NiP looking like a real title contender now...lol

Great move from NIP, they defienietly needed a better IGL, and also Plopski was quite underwhelming aswell, I doubt this move alone can make them a trophy contender team, but I defienietly see it as an upgrade and a step in the right direction.

I'm so confused.. Plopski pretty much always did the work he was brought in to do and they bench him and pick up another IGL so now hampus is left with what? And what about Brollan? He left fnatic because he didn't want to play with an international team and now NIP went international anyway. Or does Aleksib speak swedish? I feel like NIP make it way too complicated. REZ who is a great rifler takes on the AWP and es3tag who was supposed to pick up the AWP took the role as a decent rifler instead. They really need to sit down and talk about what they want to do with this team because this feels super weird.

Why did NIP choose Aleksib? Let Uncle explain: NIP understands that there are not enough good players in Sweden to become a TOP-1 team so the only option is to become an international team like ENCE for example. Aleksib has experience in managing two international teams so Aleksib can teach the team international comms etc. When NIP is good enough to play speaking English and there is a better IGL available on the market Aleksib will be benched. Then they buy a better IGL and a better AWP player if one is available.
