NIP bench es3tag

21-12-2022 15:14

The Dane finds himself looking for a new team after over a year with Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Ninjas in Pyjamas have announced that Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen is being moved to the bench and is free to explore his options.

Ninjas in Pyjamas have made numerous changes to their roster over the course of 2022, which included swapping AWPing duties between Love "⁠phzy⁠" Smidebrant, es3tag himself and Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner, and signing Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin and Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen.

The team failed to make much headway in the majority of Big Events, their best finishes being top-four placings at ESL Pro League Season 15 and BLAST Premier Fall Final, but they did win a couple of lesser trophies in the form of the Global Esports Tour Dubai and Svenska Cupen.

The most recent iteration of Ninjas in Pyjamas was brought about by the signing of a new in-game leader, Aleksib, which induced a switch from communicating in Swedish to English and brought about the formalisation of REZ's move to the AWPing role. It also freed up Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser, who described himself soon after as "not really a full IGL."

Initially the move was a roaring success as the team romped through the Road to Rio Europe RMR with a 3-0 record, however they were brought crashing down to earth at the Major itself as they exited with a 0-3 record and suffered elimination at the hands of Sprout. The Nordic squad bounced back at the BLAST Premier Fall Final, taking a top-four finish after victories over OG and Natus Vincere.

djL: "I didn't feel like we were even on the server"

"In preparation of the next year we've been evaluating the team composition overall, and have moved Patrick 'es3tag' Hansen to the bench," Ninjas in Pyjamas said in a statement.

"We have nothing but good things to say about him, and we are sure he will find success where ever he goes next."

es3tag said in his own statement on Twitter: "A bumpy road, but I'm standing here at the end, proud of what we've accomplished. I will be taking my time to properly gauge what's next for me."

Ninjas in Pyjamas are now:

Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen
Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser
Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin

Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen (benched)

RIP

2022-12-21 15:21

Nope, good move. We need an AWPer. Either we take a chance on PHZY or we try to buy out someone insane like M0nesy, Nicodooz or Syrson. Weirdly enough, M0nesy or PHZY is the most likely options.

2022-12-21 16:02

What are you smoking if you think m0nesy is a likely option. About as likely as ZyWoo and s1mple

2022-12-21 16:08

yea true. phzy or nicodooz would be ideal options. syrson is not what they need

2022-12-21 16:36

Are you high? monesy to nip? what the actual f are you talking about?

2022-12-21 16:16

m0nesy lmfao

2022-12-21 19:11

why would nicoodoz downgrade?

2022-12-21 19:50

get nawwk back

Stop making roster moves every day thank youuuu

2022-12-21 15:16

They've been making 1 man changes for the past few years. Weird

2022-12-21 15:20

What do you expect from an org that willingly signed Jonas Calc as COO? Thats the COO that benched Cadian for Jugi which forced Valde into an igl role. He is pretty much the reason for why North is no more. And if you are wondering he have been in charge as a coo since f0rest left.

2022-12-21 15:25

f0rest will never go back to NiP after heaton scam

2022-12-21 15:31

Actually NiP +f0rest and Astralis +es3tag is win/win for both teams!

2022-12-21 23:55

Nip bru Astralis halo is your time

Why not sell him to Astralis too XD.

Maybe exactly what they are doing?

2022-12-21 15:39

Esetag going back to Astralis now?? Or are they still going with a no namer and shoot them in the feet again by missing out on Esetag when the time comes..

2022-12-21 19:45

2022-12-21 15:34

Not in a million years Buzz has mediocre stats in t3-4, he's gonna be at least as bad as Mistr in t1.

2022-12-21 15:38

But they could swap out xyp for es3tag.. but tbf es3tag is already 27 as well

2022-12-21 15:47

hopefully -xyp +esetag

2022-12-21 15:23

They should kick xyp9x for him.

2022-12-21 17:23

About time

Finally

Probably good, now we get awper and rez can rifle still

if rez doesnt show up in 2023 im done with believing in him

Damn you have more patience than a lot of people then

2022-12-22 01:59

I do but it's running out now too

2022-12-22 12:43

the biggest check thief

2022-12-21 15:17

NIP never fails to surprise me

They keep murdering my boi

Sad but expected

2022-12-21 17:36

-apex +esetag magisk igl

Save ZywOo.

2022-12-21 15:33

zywoo stuck for at least 3years with vita, and his buyout is clearly too high

His contract expires in 2024 so not quite 3 years :D

2022-12-21 15:36

yes 2years... same

2022-12-21 18:41

Please effing no. Put the money on the table and actually hier some top talent. Enough if these teams aiming at top 1 while acting cheap AF

UNLUKO

2022-12-21 15:18

Really hope this is the precursor to a good AWP pickup Also Astralis are fucking mental if they pass on this

but who do they get?

2022-12-21 17:26

Draken

2022-12-21 17:38

Nawwk lmao

2022-12-21 19:38

huh

blameF Gla1ve Device es3tag Buzz

only way

NAWWK IS BACK

that would be perceft at this point, his playing really good

2022-12-21 15:56

+konfig. Swedish CS will never recover without help from DK. It is what it is.

DriftKing?

So you want to add another highly inconsistent player to this team? I dont think that would work out that well... But maybe thats exactly what they are doing... Imo it should be +awp and rez to rifle again

2022-12-21 15:49

Remember that before the injury K0nfig was better than BlameF and competing with NikO. I agree that it isnt the right move, but that is because NiP need an AWPer.

2022-12-21 15:57

it doesn't matter how inconsistent he is, and it's not that bad actually, it's just a fact that swedish CS can't revive itself without help from DK.

2022-12-22 12:42

If konfig and Rez pops off at the same time. Now thats a stomp. its a huge IF tho

2022-12-22 08:12

-Xyp9x +Es3tag ?

astralis es3tag incoming

Finally, he deserves a better team

+device KEK

2022-12-21 17:39

finallyyyyyyyy

Time for an actual AWPer now

Now kick aleksi and you have a strong core to build a team with

Yeah, let's kick someone who just got signed.

Your favourite team did that with NBK and benefited massively

2022-12-21 16:01

That's a completely different case though, because that NBK- signing wasn't arranged with sycrone, but before his promotion as head coach. NiP on the other hand made the decision to sign aleksib altogether.

2022-12-21 17:01

finally no awp no win for NiP so +nawwwk/draken again

13 replies

They might as well go international since they have aleksi and Swedish and Finnish languages aren't similar at all. Also I doubt nip would be willing to pay the buyout for nawwk and I'm not sure he'd want to join back anyways depending on if apeks continue rising. They also seem to not even be considering draken according to what he said on twitter. There are decent international awps out there, some free others with likely low buyouts. Examples: Mantuu Hades Poizon El1an Regali Farlig Just a few examples, maybe not perfect but something to work with

2022-12-21 15:35

no these are not even options

2022-12-21 15:37

You're telling me draken is a guaranteed better option than mantuu or el1an?

no he is not better

2022-12-21 15:53

Then why are you telling me that these aren't options? I'm sure the NIP management is considering at least some of them.

It would be big mistake. Rez is /can be as good as anyone on the list. So just keep hil in awp then and get better rifle than esetag

2022-12-21 16:09

Even if rez could be as good as mantuu/hades/el1an (I doubt that). Wouldn't it be better to just buy an awper and let rez play his natural rifle role. It's not like they could easily buy a better rifler than rez for less than what any of the awpers would cost.

2022-12-21 18:54

I dont want Rez to awp. But, Rez is a better awper than most of the available awpers out There, prob only nawwk is a better awper

2022-12-22 08:15

If you keep REZ as the main AWP NIP will never be a solid title contender

2022-12-21 19:14

Might as well keep rez on awp if youd take poizon, farlig or el1an (who propably doesnt havr thr greatest english)..

2022-12-21 15:52

As I said some of the options I listed aren't that amazing. El1an is certainly a better awper than rez, at least he has the potential to be if put in the right environment, granted I have no clue about his English. When poizon is playing well I'd say the same goes for him. Regali would certainly be a good gamble and mantuu would be a solid pick since he got decent stats against t1 opposition and Hades is great in the clutch situations.

2022-12-21 15:54

Also a Swedish Org wont Sign any Russian Players so you can Remove El1an from the List

2022-12-21 17:37

Orgs have no problems signing Russian players. They just have issues paying Russian orgs with ties to sanctioned oligarchs because of international law

2022-12-21 17:54

Come to Astralis

Shame

Expected

Why do NiP keep doing changes every second month? Cant we just get a stable lineup for once, weirdest management in history.

Yeah, feels like they do not know what they want, they should have just made 2 changes at once after loosing device who would have though that rez or esetag awping wouldn't work out, they just wasted several months on nothing.

Yep i really dont get it.

2022-12-21 17:59

+AWPer finally

Astralis?

2022-12-21 15:22

welcome back to c9!

This brings up some interesting development...

Agreed! Have seen rumors it’s possible headtr1ck :O Would love to see nawwk back though :( Hope you have a lovely day further, stay safe and hydrated! <3

2022-12-22 09:29

now get nawwk

Maybe it is right decision, but how the want to become consistent top team again while making 3 roster changes in a year.

welcome to nip, oskar! lmao

I am not a NIP fan anymore :)

Astralis next move?

+ nawwk (please) or + draken (since ITB disband)

Niloo or new awper?

astralis maybe?

Who'll replace him? 🤔

Entirely unsurprising. I just can't think of any young swede they can pull in.

They are international now,they can get every player that speak english if they have money.

I'm just assuming they'd want a Swede but I suppose you are right.

Nilo is probably the best young Swedish player right now

2022-12-22 08:18

Any swedish young talent to add here?

phzy might be coming back?

2022-12-21 15:41

+nawwk

welcome woxic

2022-12-21 15:27

NIP would like to welcome Smooya as permanent awper in 2023

+El1an as main awp or we riot

always the support players that get the boot

+phzy pls

wow

The only way this is a sensible decision is if they bring in a sick AWPer.

Where should he go now and steal paychecks?

Mantuu is incoming!

great move actually

RIP, I really like es3tag. Getting an awper is the only explanation. I really doubt nawwk joining, just hope it's not draken. Or maybe k0nfig in and Aleksib to play more supporting role?

#99 most logical move

Not really, doubt mantuu would even be an upgrade. These headtr1ck rumours are giving me an erection tho

2022-12-21 15:44

wtf? mantuu was always a solid player, he averaged something like 1,10 on OG. Why are people underrating him so much?

2022-12-21 15:58

He's aight, just frustratingly inconsistent and I think he's already hit his ceiling. He would be the boring choice, I'd like something more exciting. IMO Sprout would be ideal landing spot for mantuu

2022-12-21 16:10

i am pretty sure he wasn't at his peek in OG. It was his first team as an AWPer and you could see the improvement when you watched OG since the beginning. Now he would have better mates as well. Only problem was his inconsistency sadly.

2022-12-22 08:26

ye when they faced t2 teams but everytime in big event mantuu was too bad

2022-12-21 17:33

Why are people talking of young swedish talent? NiP's transitioned to english comms, they can pick whoever they want.

2022-12-21 15:29

Sadge

time to pick anarkez.

+deko the mirage mid contoller

he watched a lot of demos on how to take mid control

2022-12-21 16:03

+Regali ?

2022-12-21 15:30

2022-12-21 17:16

Good for nip fans and good for astralis fans

L decision tbh, -aleksib would be better

they need an awper so makes sense

+headtr1ck, it's 100% inside, won't say where I took it

The fuck why...

Just get device back

As we say in Holland Hatsekidej

Nilo or Isak?

2022-12-21 15:32

+mantuu pls

smooya going NiP to make Brollan cry again.. :D

would be hilarious

Please make it happen

2022-12-21 17:07

-xyr9x +estag astralis pls

Only one explanation: Astralis want sign es3tag. Big loss for NiP

You figured it out, thanks for the explanation

2022-12-21 18:15

Haha. I mean, maybe NiP want awper so they decided bench only one anchor and switch roles, which is stupid or it's Astralis want him so much

2022-12-21 18:21

I don't see a world where -esetag makes this team better. I think NiP coach/management doesn't either. It has to be for money

2022-12-21 21:10

I hope Es3tag back to astralis

2022-12-22 02:55

LETS GOOOOOO. But good luck to Es3tag <3

Damn, the timing couldn't be worse for Astralis. They could have scooped es3tag up instead of some random guy from some random team.

+mantuu ?

and there's the final Sprout piece lol

Pls no

legacy gone

good move if NiP is smart and gets an awper, 4 star players with 1 support like faze

+woxic probably

Mantuu and Regali should be the first in line for tryouts. Maybe even K0nfig if they wanna really commit to Rez awping

Unlucky, Astralis would seem like a valid option for him. Also bring back k0nfig. gla1ve device blameF k0nfig es3tag At least better than current iteration.

2022-12-21 15:40

fully agreed

2022-12-21 15:50

Xypnyx > estag

2022-12-21 19:15

Sad, es3tag actually played good, he had impact despite team not winning much

Every org that's not in the top 5 after a roster change, they do another roster change and pray to get to the top. That's the vicious cycle :)

2022-12-21 17:00

holy fuck i thought this day would never come. fraudulent player finally exposed lol

RIPBOZO

Sad for es3tag but ASTRALIS, IT'S TIME

expected. was just a matter of time ngl

2022-12-21 15:43

+device would be amazing

Pretty sure no one on the team would want him back after all that happened. Im 100% serious, id rather have nawwk than device. He can stay in astralis and keep losing tier 2-3 events and miss katowice

2022-12-22 08:25

Biggest sigh of the year

Astralis? But they already passed up on valde. Both 27. And Astralis is quite an old team already. hmm

i could see him improve the team if they replace xyp9x with him but i doubt astralis bought another player from NiP

only replace with xyp not anybody else

2022-12-21 15:59

Every1 knew this for a year now. Rez will come back to rifle and they will sign an awper

2022-12-21 15:48

Bring back phzy. He was doing really well for a substitute.

+ Lekro?

L moves all around in the NiP camp these days

+mantuu probably?

Damn i really liked es3tag. Hopefully Astralis will sign him. Now sign podi plz

2022-12-21 15:51

+hallzerk and its easy top 3

finally, now take even tier 2 awper and it will be best NIP since device left

Astralis sign him, one of the most impactful players on the team, just don’t give AWP

Yes finally, now + nawwk

need +allu so they can drink those red bulls

this made me sad he almost felt like the soul of the team

2022-12-21 16:11

f0rest

if he goes to astralis and nip get a good awper that fits, both teams would be a lot better

Astralis sign him asap

pricetag XD

now get a main awper and let rez rifle ez

2022-12-21 16:04

nilo promote?

NIP Jimpphat confirmed

2022-12-21 16:06

2022-12-22 13:11

regali is the only good choice for this team, go get this guy asap

finally

2022-12-21 16:07

Two good international teams have potential awper open slot right now. Seems there is a chance for hades or mantuu to find new job. And Aleksib already knows mantuu from OG.

my boy :(

bring back draken

+PHZY/nawwk

Please astralis es3tag

Nilo?

Could be, or this is where Joel went a couple of months ago, to AWP in NiP.

2022-12-21 16:18

JW come to nip pls

2022-12-21 16:14

good, now get an awp'er draken maybe?? mantuu?

2022-12-21 16:15

Lmao

NIP need to consider what type of player they want, and what they already have on paper REZ & Brollan here u have pretty much the two best aimers in sweden at one team. Hampus i whould say not that far behind the others. Aleksib solid IGL could make this team really good with one move If REZ will give up the awp here is some names i think they should look into: deko regali Mantuu --------------------------- If they want an Swedish awper for some reason: 1.phzy 2.Draken 3.Jackino 4.Nawwk (Idk if they want him at all cause of the sticker drama) 5.JW

2022-12-21 16:20

whats the sticker drama? o.O

2022-12-21 16:40

i think nawwk said that NIP owe him something like 100k Sweidsh Kr so like 10k EU for the rmr in 2020 (Stickers) but i think valvle madde the whole sticker thing to try to keep some orgs alive. i dont know all the detalits but he talked about it when he left nip

2022-12-21 17:32

not deserved put some respect on esetags name

2022-12-21 16:22

Very expected

es3tag to astralis now :D

2022-12-21 16:23

They basically figured out that Rez only performs well when there are roster changes so instead of fixing the problem they are changing the roster time and time again.

Most likely + Nilo or + Konfig + Headtr1ck + Hades + Peppzor Mark my words

2022-12-21 16:24

feel like its fairly obvious NiP will go for an awper. they remove ese because -although he is a support player admittedly- he is the weakest link. hampus only lurker aleksi has been solid Brollan is new and been good REZ is a top 5 rifler.. just depends who they bring in, maybe phzy to come back from his loan to Sangal? all this talk about nawwk, im not convinced hes tier 1 level. makes most sense to bring an awper in

2022-12-21 16:28

get an awper now

2022-12-21 16:33

Im here boys pick me up.

2022-12-21 16:34

They should've got rid of him way earlier, but finally man

2022-12-21 16:35

Regali?

It's just so dumb for big org like nip say such things like "we are working for a long distance" and then just change roster after 2 months. Not to say it was horibble roster from the startpoint, but c'mon guys if all of you saying that roster need time just give it some time. I know its all about expirin contracts and money question, but whats now? rn org just killing itself it feels like...

2022-12-21 16:38

sign k0nfig or draken, both can AWP well

2022-12-21 16:39

finally he didn't fit the whole time

2022-12-21 16:41

Sprout +esetag?

2022-12-21 16:43

Even though I don't follow this scene anymore, this guy was a good lad and it's sad to see him repeatedly join orgs and get kicked...

Announce regali already

2022-12-21 16:44

about damn time.

get smooya now and perfect team

2022-12-21 16:48

You gotta be joking? Smooya is one reason Brollan got tired playing for fnatic. Besides, it wouldn’t work in the long run because everyone gets tired of smoya

2022-12-21 17:14

nah bro just make smooya mute his mic then he the best player

2022-12-21 17:55

+1 genius move

2022-12-22 09:06

+allu and rez - - >rifle

NiP need to go full swedish again... Anyway would be an amazing move for astralis... just kick xyp and bring k0nfig back. gla1ve device blameF k0nfig es3tag

2022-12-21 16:50

+try for awp and god roster

2022-12-21 16:51

Hell no, try is the biggest bot ive ever seen

2022-12-21 17:02

delusional, just look at his rating, plus he f*cked vitality last year

2022-12-21 17:04

yeah "fucked" an already died vitality try is a bot hell never be in tier 1

2022-12-21 18:49

Noooo. Wtf ? Why? O.o

2022-12-21 16:54

+ Nawwk

2022-12-21 16:56

Nip Mantuu

now device can re join and play

they should bench brollan & rez instead

2022-12-21 17:11

not bench but set to free agency cuz even they realise what the waste of talents this roster is

2022-12-21 17:13

+WorldEdit Only choice required right now

2022-12-21 17:12

Astralis open your fucking eyes for once and get him while free. Mate was monster back then for Astralis, he can do the results in less time, cuz they don't have the time to develop players that are too young or inexperienced.

2022-12-21 17:18

hes fucking 27 yeah more washed up players to astralis yay delusional man u are

2022-12-21 17:21

That's the point here, the core is not young and this players don't have the time to wait for year or more to sucseed, they should either go for a kinda big name or rebuild the whole team and sell all star players. Now that they have invested in device, they should do everything possible to make the team look strong this year , not long term roster. Nt suka

2022-12-21 17:27

Quick guys, act surprised!!!

2022-12-21 17:22

Sad for Kerlon Foquinha

ngl if their keeping aleksi idk who they would add, an awper i guess? otherwise i would not mind seeing removing aleksi and going full swedish again with +ztr igl (and hampus rifle) and someone else on awp.

With Aleksi they've been better than they've been in a while, there is no way they're benching him this quickly. I completely understand that you guys prefer a full swedish lineup but I really doubt it happening.

i dont mind aleksi staying, but i would love to see them stay nordic.but idk what awper to get then.

Regali, nawwk, draken or if rez stays awping get konfig or nilo?

2022-12-22 04:08

Finally they will sign good sniper

2022-12-21 17:30

Get a decent awp and put back Rez to rifle easily a top 10 team

exactly what i think

Thats what everyone have said since device benched himself

-es3tag +dev1ce

es3tag had his best performance on nip and they bench him ☠️ poor guy can't catch a break

2022-12-21 17:43

es3tag huge respect rly for him. imagine learning swedish then playing every possible role they give you :D hope he gets a good team

2022-12-21 17:57

:( not deserved

2022-12-21 17:58

BIG W for NIP. He was clearly the problem

2022-12-21 18:00

lets go Astralis, scoop that one rather than Buzz

2022-12-21 18:05

Mantuu maybe?

2022-12-21 18:08

Ahhhh shieet, here we go again!

2022-12-21 18:10

Finally. Now get f0rest back.

+regali? he can speak danish,maybe learn swedish ? i dunno man, all these moves are becoming jokes thats why so many different teams are winning tournaments, which is fun to see for us silver elites

He doesn't need to lean swedish, at least as long as Aleksi is part of NIP their comms will be in english. regali would be cool but I don't think it's happening.

2022-12-21 18:33

2022-12-21 18:29

+draken ?

2022-12-21 18:30

Fuck Buzz Astralis should buy him low again, he was never the problem just an awful fit in NIP

2022-12-21 18:31

YES PROPER GOOD NEWS, ALEKSIB NEXT +JOEL AWP HAMPUS IGL NILO/OLOFMEISTER RIFLE EZ TOP1

Not deserved. He was one of the best this year..nip was trash. Also, always in a good mood, brings experience and strat. Don't get it.. Hope he will find new home soon.

2022-12-21 18:32

Simply looking at his stats you would se that every other member of the team outperformed him significally. I dont think he's bad, he's good at what he does but he was not "one of the best this year". He was the worst performing player on the team.

2022-12-21 19:36

2022-12-21 18:42

Dude was playing great after they had him back on the rifle.

2022-12-21 19:17

2022-12-21 19:43

2022-12-21 20:34

Wait what? Unexpected, wonder what they'll do

2022-12-21 19:53

2022-12-21 20:08

This is either a astralis signing or apeks one

2022-12-21 20:16

Put es3tag instead of this Buzz no-namer please, or instead of xyp

2022-12-21 21:58

thx for everything brother, ur a good guy wish u the best.

2022-12-21 20:20

+1 i liked the guy

2022-12-22 09:08

making room for slaxz-

2022-12-21 20:28

kinda sad, he was starting to perform better

2022-12-21 20:33

NiP why, just why. Es3tag was the glue and is a fantastic teammate and personality. This is a mistake. Yet more roster changes, zero stability and consistency

2022-12-21 20:43

Es3tag so good facts

I don't get it. Why are they constantly changing players and think they will be a stable top3-5 roster? They had a pretty good result at blast? Es3tag seemed like a really nice guy who did his Job. Change roles and did everything the Team needed.. They should have given the Team more time.. Good luck to you, es3tag! Hope you find a new Team and you can Show what you are capable of! And I'm really wondering what will be the 5th Player now!

2022-12-21 20:49

+sunny for firepower

2022-12-21 21:04

NIP need to just disband

2022-12-21 21:05

NiP should understand that they should play only full Swedish to be efficient

sad :(

oh no i hoped they would kick bot rez

2022-12-21 21:07

About damn time. This dude is garbage

2022-12-21 21:14

Wrong move. -brollan +mantuu would be the move. U can see brollan doesnt like to be shown in any videos or interwievs he is shy and cant enjoy playing cs

2022-12-21 21:54

Es3tag so good and play shit roles and carry so hard, dont deserve

2022-12-21 21:57

Es3tag to Astralis?

2022-12-21 22:04

2022-12-21 22:08

No! Krimz?

2022-12-21 22:18

Bye trashtag baited by dev0rce

2022-12-21 22:42

Now heres a real comment. Device talked to NiP management about esetag, NiP brings esetag, device and esetag is happy to be together. Device leaves. Device is truly a great guy lol

2022-12-22 08:33

Now + acoR

2022-12-21 22:49

rip, gl in next team es3tag

2022-12-21 23:21

estag to astralis

2022-12-22 08:34

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2022-12-21 23:26

astralis or sprout

2022-12-21 23:35

about time.

2022-12-21 23:42

Shooting themselves in the foot es3tag Will get his revenge

2022-12-22 00:01

Not the problem, but okay.

2022-12-22 00:02

Mantuu rubbing his hands together with glee right now. I hope he gets a good offer. I'm not sure whether he would want to work with Alexi again after stunting his aggressive awping style and making him a passive awper. Interesting

2022-12-22 00:19

2022-12-22 07:58

Goat f0rest is back?

2022-12-22 00:53

That would be sick

2022-12-22 01:50

Sad

Sad to see him benched. Hope Astralis sign him. Adding a support player would be a great fit in the team. I understand they bench him because they really need an awper

2022-12-22 02:16

On the same day gade quits huh... What could it mean.

2022-12-22 02:43

gade, he is never joining a T1 team.

2022-12-22 16:34

allu join pls

2022-12-22 02:57

no thx

NiP should just disband. AWPer wasn't the problem. They just suck.

2022-12-22 03:23

How much did they pay for him? 2.1 mill? Kekw

2022-12-22 03:27

2.1 million? Are you stupid?

2022-12-22 16:33

2022-12-22 05:49

It’s almost a new year and that mean it’s time for Easily Tagged to find a new team.

2022-12-22 15:07

I think es3tag is a really great player, his movement is sick and he does some really smart plays once in a while. Too bad he only got shit roles in NiP until his last months in the team. Hope he finds a new team..
