k0nfig: "[We did] not trust the players and only trusted the stratbook"

16-5-2023 23:30

The Dane briefly spoke to HLTV after Ninjas in Pyjamas' elimination from the BLAST.tv Paris Major.

Ninjas in Pyjamas crumbled in their 2-2 qualifying match for the BLAST.tv Paris Major playoffs, conceding an 0-2 defeat to Apeks after letting slip an immense lead on Ancient. The European combine held a 14-3 lead on the map before a disastrous T-side effort allowed Damjan "⁠kyxsan⁠" Stoilkovski's side to comeback and secure victroy in overtime.

k0nfig was crushed following the defeat

Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke had a quick word with HLTV in the mixed zone to give some early thoughts on the loss, something which Ninjas in Pyjamas took some quick time to discuss before coming into the interview area.

k0nfig, commiserations for the loss, that was heartbreaking. Can you tell me how you're feeling right now?

Really, really sad to be honest. This is one of the hardest losses I've ever had in my career. We fell as a team. Stuff like this happens sometimes, but we were of course expecting to go through to the quarter-finals. I think we have fought really good this entire tournament, so I'm proud of the boys, but this is a rough feeling.

It took you a while to come out here to the mixed zone, are you able to share some insight into what you were talking about in there?

We just said what was on top of our minds, and we just had a little quick talk in a circle with everyone and everybody said a few words. I think everybody knows that we threw the game, and yeah... happens.

Speaking a little of that game, you had an immense advantage on Ancient. What do you feel went wrong on that map at the end?

I think we didn't play the game, we didn't do things. As in defaults, I think we were doing too many set rounds. We managed to outplay ourselves a little bit, not trust in our team, not trust the players and only trust the stratbook, and I think that was what let us down today.

It's been a Major full of upsets, or bigger teams going out, NIP among them. What is your perspective on these kind of teams coming into the Major and being able to take down bigger names?

It's insane to see how all players can reunite and build a team that's that strong. And of course that the pressure that the better team has against an underdog, like you expect yourself to win, so I think it's also a mental game.

It's really unlucky that we see all these great teams not play at the Major, and I'm just happy that it's Apeks we lost to. They deserve a real shot on stage and actually show themselves a little bit, and I think they have played well the entire tournament. So yeah, props to them, sad for us.

Shows how you can make stupid decisions (Kick an IGL that is working) even though you know that person well. Allu said he wasn't a good fit for G2(presumably due to star players) and it was exactly that. Same thing seems to be happening in NIP, can't manage the firepower.

«can’t manage the firepower» sorry but wtf is that even supposed to mean? How is it aleksi’s fault that his teammates can’t hit shit? Also, you’re comparing G2 to NiP? There are exactly 0 star players on NiP, the only one being remotely close is k0nfig who’s been underperforming ever since he got rekt by a bouncer

2023-05-17 00:17

15 replies

+1 but i think headtr1ck is better than k0nflict and probably the only star player in NiP at the moment

2023-05-17 00:30

Star player is defined by who gets the freedom and good roles, headtr1ck doesnt have lots of freedom

2023-05-17 23:30

Like konfig Said too Many set rounds (fraudlekis calls)

2023-05-17 06:49

when you're too strat based & not giving any freedom to your players they can get really frustrated , specially the really talented ones

2023-05-17 06:52

exactly the same way aleksib managed to make their star players play shit roles and monesy and niko were like 1.1 rating players he is directly responsible for not managing the firepower

NiKo under Aleksi: 1,23 rating & 1,35 impact hltv.org/stats/players/3741/niko?startDa.. NiKo last 6 months under Hooxi (where they even had that huge win streak): 1,20 rating & 1,28 impact hltv.org/stats/players/3741/niko?startDa.. m0nesy sure has been better, but tbf when m0nesy came to G2 he was a complete rookie so even with Aleksi he sure would have become better too.

2023-05-18 15:03

They also got jks, who's arguably one of the best anchors right now. Boy also knows how to clutch. They also dropped to a massive slump before changing their coach and after that it was all uphill.

2023-05-22 07:46

What u smoking? Nip not hitting shit wasnt the problem, if u cant close out 14-3 on T side that is because of the IGL 9/10 times

2023-05-17 23:52

headtr1ck was having a life game, but the rest of the team unbinded mouse1 once they hit 14. Shit, was it REZ that spent 7 rounds to get up from 0 kills? It’s not aleksi’s fault that no one could bring home a post-plant, REZ loses an unloseable 1v1 etc.

2023-05-18 00:42

true lol, it was a skill diff.

2023-05-18 11:16

U are right about rez, he couldve gotten 15th round easily in that 1v1. At the same time, aleksibot had a 1v2 at 13-9 on vertigo, would ruin t economy, he kills one and then peeks again with 5 sec left and bomb out of reach, lost that map on his own, while his team was fragging on Vertigo. Then on ancient, doesnt really matter if team doesnt frag that much, if u are not able to get even one round from 14-3 on T, something is very very wrong with with the strats, common aleksibot

2023-05-18 14:56

Can't manage the firepower. Are we talking about the same team ? They have a decent firepower, but nothing to match big international teams.

Sunpayus is more complete player than headtrick. Nertz is a real lurker, not an entry fragger convert to lurk. Dycha is a real anchor, not a rez type of anchor. Maden is average Snappi is a good igl. Heroic play together for almost 2 years and don't have comms issues like international teams.

2023-05-17 00:31

7 replies

Still rez score top 30 while dycha is nowhere to be seen Sunpayus tenure in ENCE is pretty mid. Maden is only average because of this major, he was much worse before.

Rez is a top30 player on star roles.. While dycha play most of the support roles. This is a ultra bad comparaison. Rez is ultra overated, while dycha is still underated.

2023-05-17 00:32

5 replies

Nope, their roles overlap nicely. REZ plays anchor on a bunch of maps and so doe dycha. REZ B anchor vertigo, Ancient, Overpass... Dycha is far more consistent which is better for the team, but firepower (mechanically wise) rez is better

2023-05-17 00:34

4 replies

Rez was a top30 player when he was playing star roles. He won't be in the top50 this year. Rez is more flashy, dycha is more a solid asset to any "t1" teams.

2023-05-17 00:36

Lol dycha is consistent while rez mechanically good in 3 out of 10 games 3 like robot carry and 7 like bot, also rez always bad in most inportant games he only good at qualifiers lol

2023-05-17 00:37

Not true at all about the last statement

2023-05-17 00:46

Rez been shit for years so what that he goes robotic few games but he dont win or even get close in any tournaments. Brollan and rez and konfig one of most inconsistent players in tier 1 lol can be insane or can just die without damage and impact and maybe aleksib would be better in finnish team. I feel like brollan can bounce back and has still potential but rez been like this for years hes so overrated even picking some tier 2 player giving them chance and freedom would be better then rez as i never seen him to be dominant he can each match go either way no consistency and without consistency there is no chance to win tournament

2023-05-17 00:54

XD heroic has insane firepower all of their players can perform and they have good synergy and strats and one of best tier 1 team to adapt while in game instead if following stratbook script. Heroic arguably has same firepower like faze. Broky is better on awp then cadian but cadian is better then karrigan and can clutch 1v4 and 1v5 on lan so it evens out.

2023-05-17 00:35

12 replies

Heroic have also better teamplayer. Nip fragging power mean nothing if your awper was a rifler and your lurker was the most impatient entry fragger.

2023-05-17 00:40

Heroic has 10 times more firepower then nip and everything else. I just feel like aleksib not mwant to igl international teams. K0nfig is known to be inconsistent and rez same 3 games robotic carry and 7 like a bot. Headtrick is young with loads of potential and today he even played better then m0nessy when g2 got eliminated hes good awper hes definely not a problem. Rez brollan k0nfig 3 super inconsistent players and aleksib maybe needs finnish team idk. I feel like brollan can climb back and has potential still while rez for so many years underwhelming as same story.

2023-05-17 00:51

+1 as much as I love Aleksi, he needs a Finnish team. +Aleksib +Jimpphat +xseveN +Aerial +ottoNd and we are looking at a top 20-30 team who can upset anyone

2023-05-17 06:41

More of like Heroic have such a set piece that anyone can look good. Stavn and jabbi are great players, but when they dont show up all the other guys do. Having a core for +2 years is stronk

2023-05-17 00:57

Thats the thing all their players is top at their roles but also in fire power they trust in each other and everything combined jabbi sharp and consistent fragger. Cadian very momentum and pressure based player if he got momentum or in high pressure moments he can win rounds on his own in a blink of an eye kinda like prime s1mple. Teses is next level. Hes movement specialist and can entry and get 2-3 kills while entrying site alone with all headshots in like 5 seconds insane aim and decision making. But all of heroic has insane movement but cadian and teses is just crazy with movement combined with their critical fast thinking. Sjuush can have carry games but often hes bottom fragger and is fine because he mostly anchor and is one of best at it. Stavn beena bit worse lately but he seems to be back to his form this major superstar aimer who is very good at positioning and can play awp very good. Theres much more but they are just really good any of their player can step up but when they all step up their cant be beaten like faze. The only player rn in faze who has better aim then heroic players is rooz hes aim and mechanics are like robot so fast and precise and clears angles like terminator.

2023-05-17 01:06

bro just ran off on a heroic spree LMAO but yea heroic players are good, they tend to have less choke games and are really good at controlling the game i'm a faze fan and i want faze to win but if heroic win i won't be too disappointed because they would have deserved it anyways

2023-05-17 04:17

I feel like every top 8 deserves it they are playing all insane and putting a lot of work. At this point let’s just see whoever will be better team and have a better day will win.

2023-05-17 10:23

I agree

2023-05-17 01:11

I feel like i could be decent analyst also dont mind grammer errors and no commas etc was tryna save time as tired and was busy haha

2023-05-17 02:52

Yes, you need to keep goin i trust in you men)))

2023-05-17 03:05

Lol Heroic have one of the highest if not the highest average rating. Litterally everyone is an 1.10+ player on average and they all can pop/win rounds/ make moves hero moves/carry maps + stavn as star ( and lately jabbi ) I can't think of a single team that has a ''higher low'' skillwise, generally all the other team have a under 1 rated player.

2023-05-17 10:15

did we watch same match? Nip got scared and they started playing super nervous and scared. That leads to poor invidual performance, players had their changes to close the map

2023-05-17 05:46

I miss Hampus and I'm being serious :'(

2023-05-18 07:13

Sad

You’rea fraud

lol

2023-05-16 23:32

Noob

2023-05-16 23:33

hardest loss? you lost 0-16 vs FaZe on same map on Complexity

losing playoffs spot on last major to a heavy underdog team that were tier 2 a week ago is worse

2023-05-16 23:35

Choke 14-3 lead against tier 2 def feels much worse

2023-05-17 04:10

I’m not surprised at all, they played very strange disconnected, maybe that’s the culprit of NIPs downfall

I just don’t get how aleksi was calling on T-side, it was obviously not working what they were trying to do, but he just kept on doing the same into OT lol. just fucking rush B at that point.

They also tried rushing into sites that was even worse. Insta killed - it was just terrible, I insta switched off the stream when they hit Ot, and ofc they lost it - I’m always glad to skip shit like that, tbh csgo is terrible to watch unless your team is playing really good it’s just a pain

Which is weird because rush B is a classic aleksi strat, along with go A but really rush B, which also ends in a B rush.

2023-05-17 05:51

I mean honestly if you killed someone on t side ancient you would have brobably won. It's not like Aleksi should have the second most kills in 2 maps. Go cry in a corner

His only move at t side ancient is to lurk window every fucking round :) And jkaem was aware of that

2023-05-16 23:38

That's what he's saying. They trusted aleksib to call them rounds instead of making individual plays to get openings, which is the style they have been trying to adopt lately.

2023-05-16 23:47

first strat you mentioned is so fucking outdated

2023-05-16 23:59

Konfig flaming Aleksi in all chat?

2023-05-16 23:34

he got outfragged by aleksi but tbf biskela was calling the strats so idk who's to blame.

Bro aleksi could be giving the most disgusting calls in CS history....if you are a "star rifler" like brollan,konfig and mostly rez and yes still outfragging you....you are the problem

2023-05-17 04:20

can't disagree with that

2023-05-17 17:58

That's not fully true if the star player who gets all the resources IS the caller. Blamef. Happy. Mousesports niko. 2017 c9 stewie2k. (Arguably fallen and cadian too. Just to a lesser extent as they share(d) more resources than those rifler igls I mentioned) However yes aleksi isn't the star and this doesn't apply to him

2023-05-18 03:00

exactly

2023-05-17 13:59

it's better for Aleksibot to retire and start driving truck like his Finnish friend

2023-05-17 11:46

Impossible to win if REz and konfig are bottom fragging

Impossible to frag if your igl calls like shit

2023-05-17 07:59

Just say your IQ is below 90, no need for such a long text

2023-05-16 23:45

Don’t speak to me kid, stay on your lane

Snake? What the hell? Did you read? It just means they would rely too much on what Aleksi would call and completely disappeared as individuals. If anything it just proves they give him too much credits to not take any initiatives, they faded away.

"It's really unlucky that we see all these great teams not play at the Major" - boys, you have to play more and practise as a team, not only play fkcng invite tournaments. Teams play there are not in the top. All of you farm that rating via invites, that's all.

2023-05-16 23:48

I wonder if the big teams ever play scrims vs teams like Apeks, Monte or 1WIN and stuff. Because surprisingly it looks to me like they never ever met before.

I am sure they play most of them. Navi played Loba's team, Styko was praising Cloud9 etc. It is interesting that they still get surprised.

2023-05-17 00:58

Yea they do

2023-05-17 09:20

i trust in aleksi's hair assistant

2023-05-16 23:50

I wouldn't have trusted the players either

This guy talking when he and Rez was the reason why they lost. :/

2023-05-17 00:00

REZ once again underwhelming, agreed

2023-05-17 00:28

Wouldn't say underwhelming. I personally felt pretty overwhelmed by the 1v1 throw where the bomb timer was already half-ticked when his opponent arrived at the scene.

2023-05-17 12:58

I wouldn't put it on any individual, even though REZ had two huge chances to close the map. They all completely dropped the ball, except for headtr1ck who looked beyond solid even on the T side when they were getting pummeled.

2023-05-17 10:04

2023-05-17 00:07

I am happy that Nip was so competitive at the major. Shit happens , I think they all know that they choked the game. Don't give up boys. Keep that onward trend up.

2023-05-17 00:11

2023-05-17 00:13

wasn't that supposed to be aleksi's call tho? surely k0nfig wouldn't just ignore IGL

So now you want him to micromanage everything?

2023-05-17 05:58

one of the casters on stream yesterday mentioned that a previous igl/coach would tell him not to push but he still ends up doing it all the time. Something along these lines.

2023-05-17 06:01

"AleksiB is the problem"

2023-05-17 00:15

Firing shots at aleksi

2023-05-17 00:16

AleksiB can IGL tier2 players and younger t1 players to compete at near t1 level and get them ready for the grind of micro details at that level but he cannot IGL for established t1 players / superstars imo. Way to much micro managing. Guys like K0nfig and Rez, vets and superstars need their freedom to play the game the way they've been successful in doing so.

Superstars?

2023-05-17 01:20

yeayea, the only thing in strat book you should have at 14-3 is execute B till the game is over but you go 1by1 in smokes, and than blame strats LOL

agreed, that’s what they should have done. and who’s fault is it that they didnt do that? aleksis ofcourse so I can see where he’s coming from. aleksis t-side calling was godawful

Its only my thoughts and Im not sure about that but when I see nip play I feel like players just go solo somewhere making decisions on their own so I guess there is low discipline and in some interview k0nfig says that he shuts down aleksi calls if he don't like it, that's pretty bad overall cuz you need strong voice in ingame leader when everyone don't know what to do, and if you can say stfu to aleksi what you expect from him? sorry for long text

that's what baffles me lol, statistically it's very unlikely they're gonna defend every full rush successfully 5 vs 2-3 with all the smokes and pop flashes.

2023-05-17 00:43

Apeks had half of the ancient ct rounds no one on A. One a rush with smokes would have been enough.

2023-05-17 08:50

Exactly they would of got at least 1 round like that because in such high level noone would exoect u to do same rush everytime but apeks was just better

2023-05-17 00:44

Rexy you didn't watch the game, they basically did the same strat, but it wasn't b rush, it was Default into A split, and apeks read it every single time. They tried rushing B once, it failed and they gave up.

2023-05-17 04:05

This guy really blaming strats when he and brollan over here holding nades during gunfights lmfao

2023-05-17 00:21

imagine trusting those shit strats LUL

Cant blame him nobody would trust a bot IGL.

saying that plus buying bizon in the last round mean NIP's disband incoming

haha nice one

or maybe just -aleksi

2023-05-17 00:45

if only there was thashtalk towards aleksi, but bizon thing tell us that he doesnt care anymore

2023-05-17 01:49

"WE DID NOT TRUST THE PLAYERS AND ONLY TRUSTED THE STRATBOOK" for me it sounds like he's blaming aleksi, but tbf all the "star riflers" in the team got outfragged by mr AleksiBOB so idk what he's crying about.

2023-05-17 18:03

he got indoctrinated and radicalised by hltv users hate posts towards aleksi

2023-05-17 19:26

xddddd

2023-05-17 19:38

tell me that you think aleksibot is the problem without saying that aleksibot is the problem. basically the interview in summary.

aleksi more kills than all the "star riflers" lmao. ofc it's only his fault.

2023-05-17 18:05

ahahah. so glad this fraud got his ass kicked by a veteran, a true legend of the game in his role, sir jkaem will you come back stronger again fistfig?

+1 for fistfig alone could also be k0nvict

2023-05-17 11:18

he played like shit tho

Well, that's what you get when you left Astralis, and beat them off in thw RMR.

There is a reason why _professional_ athletes give the same lame, apathetic non-answers after lost games, when emotions run high and hot. There is also a reason why even the likes of Christiano Ronaldo are benched and yeeted off teams immediately after talking shit about the leadership, no matter the financial hit. NIP should just pay extra to tournament organisers to waive rights to interviewing k0nfig after losses, holy fucking jesus...

2023-05-17 01:56

2023-05-17 04:34

What's wrong with this interview?

2023-05-17 08:10

The part that was lifted to the title. Spitting out interpersonal trust as a factor to a loss effectively makes sure that the said trust is gone between the commenter and the target, i.e. it's a self-fulfilling claim. In CS with its hierarchical team structure, critique of tactical execution translates to a critique of the IGL, and coach later down the line. Constructive criticism in itself is vital for the health and success of any team, and it's Aleksi's job to take criticism the most as he has the widest responsibility within the team, but you DON'T MAKE THE CRITICISM TO THE PRESS AFTER GETTING ELIMINATED, ffs. Moreover, he full well knows Aleksi's reputation on this forum specifically, as he also knew who he was giving the interview to, HLTV. If he doesn't know or understand better, his judgement is questionable in either case. I had a couple teammates told to get the fuck out from a national team camp after they snapped once at the team management. k0nfig's behaviour is 1-to-1 to those guys, in good and bad.

Not exactly the take I got from it personally, but I get your point with how it will be portrayed like that. And we both know journalism will do its best to sell the story rather than the truth. So I understand why you think he shouldn't have said it... and it would probably have been better, but as I said from reading the article I do get another picture than what the title suggests.

Totally agree this was kind of foolish of konfig and looks bad. He has already posted a hasty tweet trying to distance himself from the headline.

2023-05-17 09:37

Yeah, saw that. His unprofessionalism is a part of his charm, I guess. It might be that NIP management made him put out the tweet, but the damage is of course already done, HLTV doesn't care and doesn't have to care.

we can flame konfig all we like but when every player that has played under ale say the same thing, idk there might be a pattern or something

You're lucky to have gone that far mate.

2023-05-17 05:33

pls just retire konfig. u r just so bad. same as rez.

2023-05-17 05:50

Good interview. Decent run for NiP to make it that far but Apeks are too strong. Seeding was fucked for this though imo.

2023-05-17 06:04

Given his performance, no wonder the trust was lacking from the IGL.

2023-05-17 06:08

Play better.

2023-05-17 06:20

Wow seems like a pattern here... Sure I have heard the same thing from so many players

2023-05-17 08:40

So which ones you've heard it from?

2023-05-17 08:52

bro konfig and rez got almost -20 kd both wdym trust the players

Moron :)

2023-05-17 10:07

-Konfig not because of his terrible performance versus Apeks, but because of this interview. You should've play good versus Apeks like Aleksi and Headtrick. -Brollan and -Rez because of their awful performance.

Trusting AleksiB stratbook KEKW

2023-05-17 11:17

Strats get them in huge lead. And then strats are fault for melting?

2023-05-17 11:32

Aleksibot strikes again. Another day, another embarrassing choke, another ruined team. Biggest paycheck stealer of all time. Just retire already and start driving truck like your Finnish friend

2023-05-17 12:08

Too much drinking = brain damage for k0nflict

2023-05-17 12:24

This was a massive overperformance by NiP overall, so i think they'll be happy once they get over the fact that they threw at the end

k0nfig is one of my fav players to watch but... he plays risky CS. Sometimes it works and it's great, but just as often he gets killed untraded because he gambled. Other teams play smarter, trade-based, calculated cs and over a long period of time that is going to provide more success.

2023-05-17 13:51

sounds about aleksib

2023-05-17 14:56

Stratbook cant work if you die everyround.

2023-05-17 16:30

They had decent chances to make it 1-1 and turn it around until that REZ round happened. There is no mental comeback from that shit. Basically a free round at match point. astralis in their prime would collapse if someone lost a round like that can't blame poor ninjas. Thank god they have aleksiB so people who didn't watch have someone to blame.

2023-05-17 16:55

Facts.

2023-05-17 17:45

Rez, Brollan and k0nvict The mid three of riflers

2023-05-17 17:51

k0nvict xD

2023-05-17 17:53

when I first heard those three names were on NiP, I thought there was potential for this to be the best trio of riflers in CS. But all three are mega washed, sad

2023-05-18 00:00

Just Rush B nonstop when 14x6 bro

Where have I heard that about alexeib before?

2023-05-17 18:42

lil bro played an awful map while headtrick carried him: "we failed as a team"

2023-05-17 23:59

Was rooting for apeks ngl but still sad to see NiP go, feelsbadman

2023-05-18 02:28

90% of all problems in life occur because of communication issues. I bet they were not speaking about things that needed to be spoken about. Instead they just followed a stiff plan not adapting to enemy team etc. That's what k0nfig is talking about I believe.
