NIP set sights on headtr1ck - Report

22-12-2022 20:55

Ninjas in Pyjamas are on the verge of making another aggressive move to address the much-scrutinized AWPing role.

Ninjas in Pyjamas are interested in signing former NAVI Junior AWPer Daniil "⁠headtr1ck⁠" Valitov, Dexerto's Luís Mira says and HLTV can confirm.

According to HLTV's latest information, the decision has already been made and the move only hinges on the finalization of the Ukrainian youngster's transfer from Natus Vincere. Other AWPers were in consideration and with whom talks were held, including Copenhagen Flames' Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău.

headtr1ck might soon follow in the footsteps of m0NESY and b1t and make the step up to tier one play

The possibility of a deal for the Ukrainian AWPer being close to fruition is further supported by Ninjas in Pyjamas's announcement of the removal of Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen from the starting roster. The Dane was benched on Wednesday and allowed to explore options.

Ninjas in Pyjamas's decision to bring in a new primary AWPer follows their long ongoing struggles with the role in the aftermath of Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's decision to step down from the starting roster in late 2021. It was most recently filled by Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner, who took up the position in a primary capacity for the first time in his career and has been under heavy scrutiny by pundits ever since. es3tag fulfilled the role before that, taking over the sniping duties after Love "⁠phzy⁠" Smidebrant returned to the Young Ninjas academy team.

18-year-old headtr1ck is currently tied to NAVI, having plied his trade for the organization for the past two years as part of their academy project, first as a member of NAVI Youth and later playing with NAVI Junior.

He was transfer-listed in September after two brief stand-in stints with the main team, at ESL Pro League Season 15 and at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, where he averaged a 0.97 rating over six maps and a 1.12 rating over four maps, respectively.

B1ad3: "I think headtr1ck is not ready to play versus tier one comfortably enough"

In an interview with HLTV at the Fall Groups in August, Natus Vincere's coach Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy spoke about the young prospect after seeing him play with the team, saying headtr1ck is "not ready to play versus tier one comfortably enough" and noted his lack of experience and understanding of macro as two key reasons.

Should the deal come to fruition, Ninjas in Pyjamas's roster would be the following:

Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser
Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin
Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen
Daniil "⁠headtr1ck⁠" Valitov

Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

2023-01-07 08:01

this is definitely a good move. getting REZ off the AWP was my primary concern. not saying he was bad with it, but that man needs a rifle in his hands and clicking heads. hopefully, headtr1ck can be as promising as b1t and monesy. he'll have a lot of pressure on him to perform close to the level of his former peers

2022-12-25 20:19

PR move from NiP... only because he is Ukranian, otherwise i dont see why, he is a bot

Is device a professional cs player or a professional boyfriend? Why would whoever he dates even matter if he is the best at clicking heads and such? I understand he wanted to take a holiday break for a year (very deserved btw) but nip really dropped the ball by letting him go, huge L for them. Device is the danish goat

2022-12-23 13:26

You are not very bright, are you?

2022-12-24 23:25

dev1ce is a CS God but weakmind when it comes to real life. Imagine taking a year off because you broke off with your GIRLFRIEND of two years. Not your wife or the mother of your children, your GIRLFRIEND. A YEAR off. I mean I know - an aching heart is ome of the worst pains ever but he royalle fucked over NiP. I never wish bad for people but I could give a flying fu*k if he makes "a huge comeback" or not. >inb4 "hehe he doesn't care what you think as well" yeah nosh*t Sherlock, but without us the fans-viewers, there would be no professional CS. So we're allowed to discuss/objectively criticize.

2022-12-23 10:51

dude if your list includes oskar, allu and jw as options for primary awpers of t1 team in 2023, its a joke

2022-12-22 23:54

Oskar could still work i guess

2022-12-23 00:01

it's a business, even if headtrick won't be too good for nip, there's a chance to sell him somewhere else, he's young and mechanically gifted, and what are you gonna do with oskar, if he won't be able to do shit (and that's the most likely scenario, as he hasn't been relevant for past 2 years at least, unable to awp even in t2-3)?

2022-12-23 00:07

Oskar is a very gifted player and I am sure he would average 1.10+ rating on this NiP team.

2022-12-23 00:56

Very unbiased opinion, considering your flag

2022-12-23 07:59

Still could work i guess

2022-12-23 22:26

Idd, these are some player of the top of my head they COULD possibly get, but I am certainly not saying they SHOULD. Personally I think headtr1ck has great potential, unlike most of the players on my list.

2022-12-24 23:18

Fair but ceiling might be too low for NIP. This gamble could be better Same^ Too old Too old + aleksib beef Extremely toxic. Also does he speak English? Fair but maybe not the best reputation Worse Maybe but not enough sample size in GL Worse Worse Worse Worse Fair but maybe bad history with NIP Fair but wasn’t that great in tier 1 last time Worse Worse and old

7 replies

+1. This list was actually a great way to make me think that this was the best possible move for NiP at this time. Literally not a single option would be objectively safer and better. The best AWPers are just locked in atm, apparently.

2022-12-23 15:26

Ty man. The list of solidly better alternatives is pretty small imo but not non-existent. regali, woxic, and mhL are the only ones I’m really certain of being better and apparently they couldn’t secure regali.

2022-12-23 18:03

You made a lot of good points and then dropped woxic in there and im wondering if you were baiting from the start

2022-12-23 22:16

Not baiting. His only bad performance on a team was in the mess that was Cloud9's Colossus during COVID. I've heard he's not the easiest to work with but he's undoubtedly tier 1 capable AWPer who has solid English and a hunger to win.

2022-12-24 00:50

Ef was a dumbster fire, so was c9. His last good performances with a t1 team date back to 2020. Yea he had good stats in EF but its irrelevant.

2022-12-24 09:16

EF was a dumpster fire so he left because it was wasting his time. Also ofc good stats in a tier 2 team matters. Why else are people hyping up regali or any other up and coming player with no tier 1 experience? And since EF was such a dumpster fire isn’t it more impressive he performed well in it?

2022-12-25 10:08

Woxic? Get real man.

2022-12-24 23:29

Might aswell have put Maikelele on there also.

Cool list of old T4 players. You forgot Fifflaren

2022-12-23 01:29

All of them pretty washed up, headtr1ck on the other hand is young and promising

2022-12-23 03:33

yes, i think its a good move

2022-12-23 10:36

2022-12-24 23:28

all dog shit lmfao

2022-12-23 10:35

Except hades. Otherwise +1

2022-12-24 23:27

Mantuu doesn't want to play with aleksi anymore Hades is a good option i think Headtrick can be good as well but imo he aint ready as bl3ad3 said

2022-12-24 04:18

Blade doesn’t understand the game so.. headtrick will do just fine, just wait and see haters.

Only hades is good out of all these names and he got a contract.

2022-12-24 23:26

I would love to see Oskar In NiP

2022-12-26 15:26

eraa lol, they got an academy team for a reason

2022-12-23 02:50

+1 Not sure why they’re not giving him a chance, but since the addition of aleksi they have the opportunity to look for international players

2022-12-23 02:52

Regali would have been a better choice in terms of time investment during the adjustment period, but he probably wants to stay in Flames since he speaks Danish

2022-12-23 12:46

Not ready for tier 1 KEKW

Takes prob one year like for monesy too

2022-12-22 21:06

thats good then, aleksib also needs a year

2022-12-22 21:07

m0nesy was already ready for t1 when he entered g2. it took him a year to become one of the best, not to adapt t1.

2022-12-23 03:07

Same thing

2022-12-23 05:22

"Not ready for tier 1" "m0nesy was already ready for t1" >same thing huh?

2022-12-23 07:55

Yes same thing. None wasnt sure was monesy year ago ready for t1. Even their coach said that he cant handle pressure

2022-12-23 08:06

and hooxi going full bat shit mode saying he let monesy fly free like a bird but in reality its about experience

2022-12-23 10:37

2022-12-23 12:15

Headtrick wont miss any major EZ

I repeated what blad3 said to make fun. I dont agree with him. Navi lost another good player.

2022-12-22 21:12

+1 b1ad3 is an amazing igl but idk what he saw that I didnt about headtrick guy looked great after being thrown in the deep end

2022-12-22 22:25

they haven't lost anything as they cannot utilize him in the main team, so they get a good amount of money in exchange, same thing with monesy, good deal for everyone

2022-12-22 23:56

Agreed He is either half blind or was downplaying because he didn't want NaVi to sell him. Also '' not fit for T1 '' from someone trying to replace sdy with n0pl in NaVi's main roster LUL

2022-12-23 01:18

that would be sic move

Brollan: omg finally a swedish talking team again NiP signs finnish player and begin to talk in english NiP signs ukranian player NiP signs asian player next brollan: -_-

2022-12-23 11:43

Honestly not a bad signing, rather pick up Yung talent and gamble a bit than picking up washed players

+1 Actually a good comment. Very rare on hltv these days.

2022-12-22 21:33

+1, headtrick can be better than mantuu and hades

2022-12-22 21:38

Already is mechanically better than them. All he need is experience in higher tiers.

2022-12-22 22:20

exactly my point

2022-12-23 09:34

+100

2022-12-23 10:38

True, i wonder if brollan is gonna stay though. Iirc he said something about wanting to play with his countrymen when he signed with NIP and now they're international

2022-12-22 22:03

No full swedish team could afford him.

2022-12-22 22:21

Yeah but what other options does he have? The majority of the team is Swedish, so it's at least something

2022-12-22 23:59

you living in 2021 or what?

2022-12-23 10:39

I mean it was one of the main reasons he wanted to leave fnatic, them going international and he didn't want to be in an intl roster. The other two replies had good points about their being slim pickings tho

2022-12-23 16:11

I bet he just got fed up with the bri ish and couldnt listen to that. Probably is completely fine with finns and ukrainians speaking english

2022-12-23 22:24

+1 great signing

hades too beta for NIP, degster too alpha, mantuu can be a good fit, but when was the last time u heard of him?

2022-12-22 21:54

He trolls in twitter frequently, even made a tweet that was likely related to the esetag benching.

2022-12-23 22:27

Why would og sell degster now lol, dumbass if serious

2022-12-22 22:44

hades and mantuu proved to be complete bots even after playing a decent amount of time on t1 level, degster is much more expensive, and I doubt that og are too willing to sell him

Nah bro. Hades was trash in tier 1. Nip wants to win trophies so they ain't going for tier 2 awp.

2022-12-22 22:24

why do they have tier 2 igl and tier 3 results then?

2022-12-23 11:46

2022-12-23 02:05

Sweden got better players than entire asia combined

2022-12-23 11:56

You are right Swedish cs is washed, but look at most top teams these days, they are international. Thats just how it is.

2022-12-23 13:01

Most? There are 3 teams that have international roster and won at least one big event: Faze, G2 and Vitality. And 4 teams that are not international: Navi, Outsiders, Heroic, Cloud9. Yeah, Faze had a really good first half of the year, but you can't say that "being international = success"

2022-12-23 16:26

navi has russian and ukrainian, its not one country.. most teams are international

2022-12-23 18:16

we are talking about languag barrier

2022-12-25 23:13

LETS FUCKING GO NIP BECOMES MY 2ND FAVOURITE TEAM

bruh moment

2022-12-22 21:04

It won't work, trust me. NiP will continue to be a middling team

Riffling core is very good, similar in firepower to Liquid. Headtr1ck just needs to be slightly better than average and NIP will be good.

very risky but still better than forcing REZ to play awp

Sick lineup on paper. How it will click!

This is a gamble but it could work out

Just why they dont take mantuu

Rather gamble with youngster than take somebody who isnt really a tier 1 fit awp. He wasnt main awping before og + hasnt played for a while and from what ive seen, headtr1ck is pretty gifted mechanically.

2022-12-22 23:01

Finally nip gets proper awper after Draken, device .

2022-12-22 21:08

expected

headtr1ck > s0mple

regali would have not been a bad move also

2022-12-22 21:13

ez for nip

True

2022-12-22 23:37

Why? Regali already proved himself in tier2.

maybe cheaper to get headtr1ck? idk

Cpf is a cheap org. Unless regali did the same mistake as launx and he didn’t set a buyout on his contract, i don’t see a reason not to pick him.

I also like the regali option and even though luismmira is a pretty reliable source nothing has been confirmed yet

2022-12-22 23:19

shoulda been regali

honestly good move

if i was NiP, I would go for w0nderful. He is clearly better than headtr1ck and isn't much of an upgrade from es3tag

2022-12-22 21:15

Don't think Spirit would be willing to let him go, at least not for a sum NiP are willing to pay.

idk why spirit would let go of him tho

His English is very shitty, I mean super shitty. w0nderful will never go international. He will replace s1mple when he retires.

Wtf? Where's phxy signing?

2022-12-22 21:25

Interesting move. I guess it is a bit of a gamble but if the org gives them time. In my opinion one of the better moves given all the Awpers on the market. Most of them already shown what they are capable of. Maybe headtrick will surprise us. Good luck to the Team!

2022-12-22 21:26

Crazy move

2022-12-22 21:27

“Set sights” .. hltv wake up. You don’t bench a player without having the trade done.

2022-12-22 21:29

HAHAHHAHAHA IT WAS A MEME WTF

Last day as a fan

deko clears

if they're not taking forsyy over anyone else, idk anymore

maybe cuz headtr1k got higher potential and younger

2022-12-22 21:51

Unexpected

now kick the bot REZ

2022-12-22 21:40

Thats maybe good think to aleksi because he is good for young players. Sergej,flamez and m0nesy

Na`Vi Academy is The house of CS talents

I thought it was just a meme

2022-12-22 21:42

he's worse than the tier 1 awpers but he's probably the best NIP can sign

Why no woxic

2022-12-22 21:44

Regali > headtr1ck change my opinion

From what we've seen lately regali there is nothing to change because regali is better . I could see headtr1ck stepping up a la w0nderful though and being a 1.15-1.20 AWPer in T1 in a few monthes

2022-12-23 01:11

Good luck to him

2022-12-23 09:02

Yeah, good luck to him, and I hope regali also get an opportunity in a higher team team soon

flag opinion changed

2022-12-23 10:45

i mean the clear difference is that headtr1ck has the rating from academy league, regali doesn't :S topic closed. /closed

2022-12-23 13:03

good for him although would've like to see had ez here

2022-12-22 21:46

wtf

what the fuck

2022-12-22 21:52

bad move

waaaaat

2022-12-22 21:58

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK THAnk GOD THEY DIDNT GO FOR WASHED UP PLAYERS LIKE MANTUU HADES SO FORTH WHO DIDNT HAVE IT ON TIER1 GL GL GLG GLGLLGLGLGLGLLG

mantuu hades washed? ur braindamaged

2022-12-22 22:34

yes. They never did prove themself on TIER1.

ur watching cs since yesterday?

2022-12-23 10:27

Wow not expected but a welcoming bick up GL headtrcik you will be great deve will have himself for going back to asstralis

2022-12-22 22:02

I didn’t like the move at first but the longer I think about it the more I do like it Still mad about -es3tag tho

2022-12-22 22:05

Poggers, finally I can sleep

This is looking like a smart move now that they have English comms. Get a young player and try to build something over a longer timeframe.

i am not sure headtrick english level is high enough tho, but lets see whats gonna happen

2022-12-22 22:14

lol what

2 igl?

2022-12-22 22:23

headtr1ck really good but there is no way this will work out either Hampus or aleksib has to go

Hampus is pretty good since he was unleashed from being igl tho

2022-12-31 11:59

I mean he was good when he played for Navi as stand in but i didnt expect Nip to try to get him

Idk what Navi is doing but headtr1ck was always really good. He used to insane entry and then started AWPing when m0nesy left and was the best player in the navi junior team easily. Also Navi played him as a support/anchor and he still did so so good even tho he was playing a new role but yet blad3 said he is not good :(

2022-12-22 22:35

Navi is not bringing him bcs of obvious reasons, he wouldnt awp before Simple for sure

2022-12-22 23:43

Worst panic buy i've EVER seen lmaooo

2022-12-22 22:30

xDd

2022-12-22 22:32

No brain moment Another year without any achievements

Navi playing sdy meanwhile they let m0nesy go thru and most likely headtr1ck aswell XDDD

I can understand that m0nesy worked really well, but this really aint the same situation. With REZ back on rifle duty I thinks its better to give AWP to safer hands to a guy like mantuu who has played with aleksi already as well and a lot of t1 experience.

Nip still doodoo

must be worse than nipl if they dont want him on Navi rooster kekw

2022-12-22 22:37

I'm trying to be optimistic, but something makes me feel like this won't make NiP a title contender.

2022-12-22 22:45

Any CIS awper is better than anything they can get in EU, but this is one of the bottom options

2022-12-22 22:50

How about mantuu, mhl, hades, regali?

2022-12-22 23:25

Was hoping for mhL but this is great also

2022-12-22 22:53

So you can get mantuu and you get this overrated kid ? budget m0nesy

2022-12-22 23:10

2022-12-22 23:11

Regali and him best options imo.

2022-12-22 23:35

2022-12-23 00:28

Headtr1ck better than nipl. Nip better move than botvi

He is much, much better than npl. I don't really understand the move from navi too.

2022-12-23 00:05

i think they thinking they need entry (while already having elec best entry fragger of 2021) and make elec IGL and lose in fire-power. just dumb

2022-12-23 00:15

I think no

2022-12-22 23:48

No f0rest no change max top 20 team

2022-12-22 23:58

I had this guy's stream in twitch suggestions, watched for a while a few times. I can say he's good, real good. And not just with the awp like guardian or kenny for example. This is a risky move for nip, but the potential upside is much higher. So good luck headtrick, but please stop playing with the ruzzians

Super odd move, but it could work

Risky move, i have a feeling its going to work out tho

2022-12-23 00:06

it would be insane

very good move

2022-12-23 00:25

phzy > headtrick

2022-12-23 00:27

2022-12-23 00:48

No way

2022-12-23 01:07

JOEL>>>>> Phzy>>> nawwk>> Chawzyyy> draken>

2022-12-23 02:22

dont think bringing back nawwk wil solve anything. at this point headtrik is a better option then ))

2022-12-23 13:34

Full Swedish>any talent Teamwork>individuals

2022-12-23 14:24

Good sign, let's hope aleksib uses him right. Monesy's stats skyrocketed under Hooxi's calling because Hooxi knew how to utilize m0nesy's skills. Headtr1ck might feel comfortable in Aleksi's system, only time will tell, I just hope that if he doesn't then Aleksi takes a lesson from his time in G2 and adjusts! GL to NiP :)

2022-12-23 00:35

Nip is saved

2022-12-23 00:39

What??????

2022-12-23 00:49

people overrate him af, you will see

Finally a good move ! Hallelujah !!!?

2022-12-23 01:06

ok wow

2022-12-23 01:10

Sick

well thats certainly an unexpected move

2022-12-23 01:17

wtf why? DEKO would be a better choice.

Deko 1m$ buyout wtf

2022-12-23 08:32

Navi needed Forrester

for a moment I believed REZ would become a top 10 awper

2022-12-23 02:16

UGH, stop it NIP. You have insane talent in Sweden currently, YOU dont need useless Ruski awper or finnish IGL, zzZZzzzz.

2022-12-23 02:21

There isn’t a single tier 1 talent in Sweden

2022-12-23 02:51

Where is the talent?

2022-12-23 05:01

Sweden scene washed tho

2022-12-23 05:23

Insane talent is eyeballers bots?

2022-12-23 09:31

Try hades? Maybe?

2022-12-23 02:33

might work let's see, bit strange tho tbh

2022-12-23 02:42

Bottr1ck? Surely bot3tag is better than him?

Pog

Nice

2022-12-23 02:55

The roster would be super young. But if NIP want someone experienced, .. did they consider the option of bringing back nawwk? Or fifflaren possibly?

2022-12-23 03:01

Wtf fifflaren is super washed and retired as a player

2022-12-23 10:10

Sign Dev1ce

2022-12-23 03:24

They actually did that once

What the actual fuck is going on over there

2022-12-23 03:58

Headtrick 1000x times better nphl..... So yeah good move by NiP

2022-12-23 04:20

nip briandead move trying to reach academy player from russia kekw

2022-12-23 04:30

North korea speaks xd

2022-12-23 09:29

Joel > headtr1ck Ffs NiP

2022-12-23 06:02

Since fucking when?

2022-12-23 09:28

This!!

2022-12-23 09:30

Good choice

2022-12-23 06:20

From device to literally who

2022-12-23 07:05

To deko

Hades> headtr1ck

2022-12-23 07:20

B1t to NaVi M0nesy to G2 Headtr1ck to NiP Bro aunkere where are you

2022-12-23 07:22

He’s tier 3 for always

2022-12-25 22:59

WHO? i never heard of this guy

2022-12-23 07:51

Stood in for Na`Vi earlier in some games

2022-12-23 10:57

Then you have never watched cs 😪

gl to both side!!

2022-12-23 09:11

Another 500K

I think headtr1ck has good potential that isn't fully unlocked yet. It's a gamble move though if this goes through which seems highly likely at this point. I think the environment under the coach of NIP and Aleksib he will fit better than he did in NaVi as a growing player. Feels like NIP as much as their management is dodgy, they also have pretty good coach, mental coach and such people behind the team atm that should be a good place for developing players.

2022-12-23 10:22

As far as i remember brollan leave fnatic because he didnt want anything to do with international team... Sooooo... prepare for brollan leave nip headline in near futute..

aleksib sure loves these young cis boys

2022-12-23 10:23

finnish predisposition

2022-12-23 12:36

lol

2022-12-24 01:02

Might’ve tried El1an, he is a good aware and has T1 experience . Last year wasn’t great but it’s down to team performance IMO

2022-12-23 11:08

Na vi wonderkid center

2022-12-23 11:23

but Navi with sdy...

2022-12-24 01:03

The answer is s1mple. Na'vi produced two great awpers in last years but they have s1mple in their roster so they can't change. It is good to sell them and let them play.

2022-12-25 15:26

yea, its good, ukrainian and all CS Go's scene grow up!

2022-12-25 17:44

2022-12-25 22:58

Best signing in 2022 for sure

2022-12-23 12:33

Didnt Brollan leave fnatic because he wanted to play with a full swedish setup? I guess Brollan gonna leave Nip?

2022-12-23 12:45

not good move

2022-12-23 12:48

No english tho

2022-12-23 12:55

ganginho > headtr1ck

2022-12-23 13:17

NIP: - Rez (support) - Hampus (agressive lurk) - Aleksib (IGL) - Brollan - Headtr1ck (AWP) Godsent goes full swedish: - Plopski - Peppzor - Wolfy/Phzy/Naawk/Joel (AWP) - ZTR (IGL) - Nilo/Chawzy/Sapec This full swedish team would be pretty interesting

2022-12-23 13:20

Rez isnt going to support lmao

2022-12-23 14:11

peppzor signed with eyeballers a few days ago

2022-12-23 16:47

hltv.org/news/35266/eyeballers-replace-s..

2022-12-23 17:13

Rez support? Hahahahaha

2022-12-24 15:57

Budget monesy

2022-12-23 13:38

Another unexperienced awper for AleksiB lol

2022-12-23 13:44

when the -aleksib happen NIP can start winning again maybe

2022-12-23 13:48

why, es3tag was doing better and better

2022-12-23 14:04

They want a proper awper

2022-12-23 15:30

2022-12-23 14:56

not expected gl hf

2022-12-23 14:59

Doesnt matter who is awping as long as aleksiBOT is IGL. lul

2022-12-23 17:15

Agreed, I always hated this guy. He is really sucks in IGL position

2022-12-25 22:57

lmao is this a joke

2022-12-23 18:19

This is so stupid, he wont mash well with the team which is litteraly their biggest w so far. Just get a nordic eu awper. draken, eraa nawwk, kristou, lucky, Drakens team just lost their org. Eraa plays for YG which are litteraly all smurfing individually. Nawwk even did well for NIP all can agree. just that device "was better" Kristou lucky are in orgs. But they are prolly hungry for tier1 and would take it seriously and they are both smurfing in their respective teams.

2022-12-23 18:40

Nowadays you need a super talented awper to reach top 5, no-one from your list is that. headtr1ck has serious potential to be one, this is a high risk high reward -move and that's way more interesting than being stuck in mediocority. phzy would've been other potential star if they really really wanted to stay nordic.

2022-12-23 21:14

You cant become the best team in the world with draken, eraa nawwk, kristou, lucky, you need to go international and this is way more interessing than this bot awpers you calling cry is free 😂😂😂

2022-12-23 22:55

4 swedes and one ukrainian, what can go wrong?

2022-12-23 18:48

aleksib best swede igl

2022-12-23 19:07

aleksib swedish pride

2022-12-30 18:41

headtrick best player in nip

2022-12-23 19:03

why not smooya? hes free and Brollan still cry with english talk

2022-12-23 21:29

Lol smooya was the reason brollan left fnatic not english talk wtf man

2022-12-23 22:51

he literally left fnatic because they switched to english. and went to nip for a full sewdish speak team

2022-12-24 15:18

No was not he dont like the players in fnatic nip is much better than fnatic

2022-12-24 15:55

2022-12-25 02:22

It is true, you can’t truly believe the only reason he leave fnatic to nip was to speak swedish lol haha

2022-12-25 09:36

NiP dead org Best team: draken f0rest REZ hampus Brollan

2022-12-23 23:02

Draken sucks you can not become the best team in the world with him

2022-12-24 15:56

not true

2022-12-24 21:55

Okej so why they dont pick up him then? If you can become the best team in the world with swedish players why did they switch to english without no reason if it is just to pick up the best swedish players then?

2022-12-25 09:38
