Official: NIP bench Brollan

28-10-2023 09:41

Max "⁠maxster⁠" Jansson will continue standing in for the team until they can bring in their new fifth player.

Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin is now officially benched in Ninjas in Pyjamas, the organization has announced. The 21-year-old was already being substituted in Roobet Cup and Thunderpick World Championship for the past few days by maxster.

maxster will continue to stand-in for the time being until Ninjas in Pyjamas are ready to bring in their new in-game leader signing, teased by General Manager Björn "⁠THREAT⁠" Pers in a recent interview.

THREAT reveals IGL signing is "in the pipeline" for Ninjas in Pyjamas

Brollan had been a part of Ninjas in Pyjamas's active roster for over a year and a half. He was brought in from fnatic in March 2022 and was hailed at the time as Sweden's best player, but despite a strong start to his tenure he was never consistently able to live up to his star status throughout his time with Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Through many changes in the team, which eventually saw them transition to an English-speaking roster — a move Brollan wasn't a fan of already while at fnatic —, the Swede averaged a middling 1.00 rating across 12 Big Event appearances.

Brollan is the second benching in Ninjas in Pyjamas in the past week. After THREAT outlined issues with leadership and role clashes inside the team, Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser was previously removed from the active roster and replaced by Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen.

NIP bench hampus; es3tag returns

The Dane, who returned from the bench after nearly a year, has also taken up in-game leadership duties in a temporary capacity until Ninjas in Pyjamas's new signing is ready to be revealed.

Ninjas in Pyjamas's roster is:

Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
Daniil "⁠headtr1ck⁠" Valitov
Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen
Max "⁠maxster⁠" Jansson (stand-in)

Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin (benched)
Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser (benched)

I know, we signed this guy who only joined our team because he wants to speak swedish, let's sign people that can't speak swedish and switch to english. Wow his preformance is dropping, that's crazy. He isn't getting better, time to remove more swedish players, let's kick him now LOL :)

Nordics are great in writing, terrible in pronunciations.

2023-10-29 02:16

Most of the times due to accent and nothing else so not too bad. Can easily develop pronunciations with a little practice.

2023-10-28 09:56

he wasn't

2023-10-28 23:12

Bro is still believing that PR bs over a year later💀💀 do you also still believe that Cadian left heroic because of "differing visions"? LMAO

2023-10-28 11:35

2023-11-05 15:03

And? That is Brollan's fault.

2023-10-28 16:02

If Brollan was actually a good player, he would've been able to adapt after almost a year in an international roster. There's simply no way he would throw his entire career in the trash on purpose just because there's no tier 1 Swedish lineup. This is complete cope by you.

2023-10-28 18:44

ADAPT TO WHAT??? THEY HAVENT HAD A CONSISTENT ROSTER IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. HE'S HAD TO ADAPT TO NEW IGL NEW PLAYERS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND FUCKING OVER AGAIN

2023-11-01 16:13

Only good move theyve done for a long time is +konfig

2023-10-28 09:50

2023-10-28 10:40

Stand-in performance means nothing, stand-ins are usually forced to play positions they aren't the most comfortable with and haven't been given time to learn plays/team mates tendancies.

So you think young players are not better than forest on his comfortable position?

2023-10-28 18:30

Who knows, no young Swedish talent have really emerged on the scene in years, there is always some Swedish teenagers who look great against tier 3 opponents but once they start playing against tier 1 teams they might have a small bit of initial success but once teams learn how they play, which is very quickly, they fall off massively. You know what you're getting with f0rest at least.

2023-10-28 19:06

if we consider the opponents compared to what hes used to play over the last years, his results have been pretty much in line with his current performance as a stand in ...

2023-10-30 10:38

thats not gonna save swedish cs. its time to scout mommas basements for new talent

Sad, but it was about time

I would love something like Hampus Brollan Maxster/nilo Isak/krimz Nawwk

2023-10-28 09:43

7 replies

+1, rather have rez play support than maxter or nilo though, he's shown that he can comfortably be above 1.0 even with shitty roles

2023-10-28 09:52

If you add Krimz then he would 100 % be the supportive element. I thought Isak could do it well as well, but maybe he's more of a role clash with Hampus. Too me maxster/Nilo would be star rifler, and I know that's weak atm, but I think the potential is there!

isak seems to be a weird lurk support hybrid, but yeah

2023-10-28 11:04

Yeah exactly, I don't really know where to put him

2023-10-28 13:36

Rez is dog shit what do you mean bro?

2023-10-28 12:12

I don't see nawwk signing with Nip ever again

2023-10-28 11:20

No, I meant in an org outside NiP. NiP is done

NIP ruins Swedish cs all alone.

2023-10-28 12:58

maxster is the right love, but not on the cost of a fellow Swede!!

maxster won't stay. only 1 swede left in nip

2023-10-28 09:44

i think maxster should leave for a better cs career

2023-10-28 10:17

True, very good

2023-10-28 14:43

Finally

sad

deserved

BRUTALLY overdue, but still... WTH is happening in CS right now?!?

2023-10-28 09:46

BOUT TIME

2023-10-28 09:45

right when AUG meta is coming back? They shouldve just held onto him for another 3 months just to see if he still had that dawg in em for cs2

Rip career, would make sense to go to a team outside of Sweden, but prolly aint gonna happen

2023-10-28 09:48

so sweden can do this: Hype/Nawwk Brollan Hampus Nilo adamb/rusty

won't happen in nip. nawwk, brollan, hamp, nilo/maxster and krimz would be better

it can happen in another org... lets dream

2023-10-28 11:49

Basically Metizport with brollan and hampus

2023-10-28 10:14

Back to fnatic where he had a decent rating and ranked #15 in the world

Thx u NiP finally

Nip just keeps fucking it up, gg

how is this fucking it up? the change needed to happen

2023-10-28 09:53

Brollan is crazy good when he's playing up to his potential. This move makes me a bit sad. Is maxster any good? Haven't heard of him tbh so I can't tell if this is an upgrade or not

swedish scene is so down bad that every young guy is hyped,only time will tell

2023-10-28 09:55

Maxster stand in, not 5th player. He is pretty good but no experience at all. Crazy aim, bad decisions sometimes

2023-10-28 10:01

brollan is washed since the CSGO krieg nerf.

2023-10-28 10:08

False narrative. He was actually even better, with AK, for the rest of the year after Krieg nerf (nerf was during spring 2020 I think). People have fact checked this. Still, he obviously fell off eventually, but he could perform super well with AK so that's not a satisfactory explanation.

2023-10-28 11:15

Copium, he's been trash ever since.

No copium,u are just stupid and accept facts.

2023-10-28 11:46

Keep projecting.

2023-10-28 11:57

Bruh ur on HLTV, check the stats. Brollan excelled for a while after krieg nerf

2023-10-28 12:23

Why die on this hill when you are factually wrong? Just say ok and move on

2023-10-28 13:13

Maxter has impressed so far. Kinda been carrying honestly, but he only has a couple Bo3s this tournament when standing in.

2023-10-28 12:06

Oakland 1987 mvp still manages to escape every roster move in NIP.

Rip

2023-10-28 09:57

He hasn't been good since spring 2022. Yall insane If you think this is bad. 14 months of check stealing at 1.0 in star roles. Foh

Ye I didn’t know brollan have fans, this is a W move for NiP at least they get another bot

2023-10-28 10:03

what is n0p doing man yes brollan has been mid but that's their fault lol

FNC should get him back

2023-10-28 10:00

FUCKING FINALLY

2023-10-28 10:07

If Cadian isn't the signing then I'm done with this org man...

I think it's Glave and Cadian goes to Liquid.

2023-10-28 10:10

Man if we get Gla1ve I might just consider ending it all ngl

2023-10-28 10:21

glaive >>>> entire swe scene

2023-10-28 10:27

It Will be glaive

2023-10-28 14:06

Well according to recent post he is not joing NIP. Wonder who will join NIP

2023-10-28 14:36

Good. He's such a cold, miserable person. He can go clean toilets at McDonalds

So because he's an introvert, he's cold and miserable? You must be a real people person

He smiles less than JKS.

2023-10-28 10:25

And is jks cold and miserable? No.

11 replies

He's just unfriendly and sour always with a frown on his face, it's very very off-putting. He is not welcoming at all. The opposite of someone like Elige. He will struggle to get a real job because he would be so unpersonable in job interviews.

2023-10-28 13:02

Thats cool that You mentionelige when he has proven to be toxic/arrogant at Times looool

2023-10-28 14:34

imagine mentioning the guy who has a long history of toxicity as an example of a people person

2023-10-28 15:30

Elige is passionate and actually knows how to smile. Also I don't see Elige being benched for shitty performance.

2023-10-28 15:41

That's just how some people are. If you ever came to Finland you'd probably think most people hates you when they probably haven't even noticed you. Not everyone is all smile and sunshine 24/7 like Danny Ricciardo. You might want to learn a thing or two about introverts or you're gonna make a series of misunderstandings along the way. I've never even heard jks being toxic or having issues with his teammates. If you don't like his face, don't look at it.

2023-10-28 17:04

Don't care to learn about introverts they can go and lock themselves away in their mums basement. If you're trying to sell an entertainment product being an "introvert" is 0 excuse for being cold and unfriendly towards fans.

2023-10-28 20:30

These guys are professionals. They are not reality TV stars who has to fake their personalities for your entertainment. And yes it is incredibly ironic that you're a jks fanboy. I like jks, but he gotta be one of the most introverted people in the scene overall.

2023-10-29 02:23

JKS will at least give interviews and interact with people. Boringllan will sit there with a cartoonishly large frown and mumble the whole time. The dude needs serious media training. Couple that with the tantrum about NIP not being full Swedish there are few redeeming factors. That's why he's benched.

2023-10-29 15:41

You're still being a huge hypocrite matey.

2023-10-29 16:09

REZ confirmed everything I said here lmfao. Brollan was cold and didn't connect with the team.

2023-11-09 16:01

He's doing his job and that's what he gets paid for. Characters like him bring much to more conservative people. Being an introvert simply means they have no need to scream like a dumbass around the clock, nor do the give a flying fuck if a shallow dude like you finds them cold. If you dislike his personality, that's your own personal hell, not the problem of someone else

2023-10-29 15:14

+1 he gave off t he worst vibes on fnatic just bc he wanted a swedish low-energy circlejerk

2023-10-28 19:19

Bench Brollan in AUG meta what doink NIP

Best chance for Vitality to replace Magisk. Hope it happens.

2023-10-28 10:11

wahahahahahahahaahav thanks for this joke

falcons - brollan falcons - hampus?

Falcons want to build a super team, not a CCT contender +its been said that Falcons(Zonic) wants Snappi as IGL

2023-10-28 12:31

sergej and Brollan got exposed after the Krieg and Aug got nerfed.

2023-10-28 10:20

atleast sergej just quit straight away, brollan been stealing paychecks years for now

2023-10-28 13:29

dumbasses

2023-10-28 10:23

About time.

Brollan washed at 21 xd

Nip is the worst run org in esports, change my mind

*EG enters the chat

EG made higher expected value moves that didnt work out, nip repeatedly makes the same mistakes again and again. EG will be good before nip

thankfully there are more swedish orgs that actually see the potential in swedish players. bye bye nip!

2023-10-28 10:32

dont disrespect the IEM Oakland 1951 MVP bro

2023-10-29 14:18

It makes sense, idk why some act like it's wrong. Maybe he will be better during the early days of cs2 but he has shown inconsistency for such a long time and no improvements that you have to change something. Hopefully he can bounce back somewhere else, huge potential.

2023-10-28 10:41

I wished it would've been k0nflict to go but this makes sense. Lycka till Ludde, he'll be a beast again in some other team.

REZ gotta have some damning fucking dirt on the NIP management

his father is THE sponsor to nip. pays the paychecks, so improbable he will be benched however he plays.

2023-10-28 11:10

This is crazy baseless. Source? On literally any of it?

it was revealed to me in my dream

2023-10-28 16:40

REZ has earned the right to steal paychecks from NiP after enduring everything the shit management has thrown at him for so long already without any complaints.

2023-10-28 22:19

this one out of the many changes was expected

Brollan isn't bro anymore

2023-10-28 10:59

Fnatic time to go swedish again and disband this mid retirement team. Buy isak and build your roster around isak, brollan and hampus. Or different igl because brollan dont play good under hampus.

2023-10-28 13:45

2023-10-28 12:10

Problem with NIP was going international without even getting players that are better than what sweden had to offer.

2023-10-28 12:18

I feel bad for brollan. When he joined he it was a full swedish lineup and he was actually doing pretty well, then aleksi comes in and he starts to struggle before k0nfig comes in for hampus and brollan becomes even worse due to role overlap with k0nfig

Bruh brollan was shit even b4 aleksi

2023-10-28 13:04

2023-10-28 12:24

nice!! next bench the rest of these bots and go disband ty

2023-10-28 12:30

Like wtf I'm not saying brollan was a great player. But rez is still here and they kicked hampus, probably their best players. On good conditions, Brollan is probably a way better player. The only player who shines on garbage teams is konfig . The king of pugstar.

2023-10-28 12:33

2023-10-28 12:38

2023-10-28 13:03

Finally this loser got benched Underperform for too many years. Kick rez also, another fraud loser.

2023-10-28 13:08

keep headtr1ck and konfig, bin the rest of the team.

I don’t care what Brollan did before NiP He suckedddd in Nip and could never gain traction. You only get so much time to prove yourself

2023-10-28 13:19

washed 21 yo, wont be missed

2023-10-28 13:26

expected, he was ass

it was about time, he was never a star player in this team, always close to averaging 1.00 rating isn't going to cut it.

2023-10-28 14:13

He was shining during aug/krieg meta as an upcoming big talent, but then he just fall to weak player.

2023-10-28 14:14

2 more players to go

2023-10-28 14:16

Brollan had to go. Hampus couldve stayed but not as igl. Now two swedes gone and most likely not a swede on the way in. This team has lost the little soul it had left. Feels really bad

2023-10-28 14:26

they couch him, it looks like.

2023-10-28 14:56

2023-10-28 15:02

Brollan seemed like a hot prospect when he first joined fnatic. But it didn’t take long for the flame to go out. He’s been pretty underwhelming ever since

Flame going out = end of krieg/aug unskilled meta

2023-10-28 18:17

lol yea I never thought about it like that. But yes that’s probably true. I forgot how much he depended on those OP weapons at the time.

2023-10-28 19:13

He can't smile thats the case

2023-10-28 15:04

at least he was good for a while.

2023-10-28 15:17

are you based in Cape Verde islands? that's unique and interesting if true

Washed up lineup before it even starts... Pick nawwwk instead of draken at the very least Brollan is bad too imo

Put brollan in a Swedish lineup where he can speak his native language and let him have his roles, his performance will improve immensely

2023-10-28 19:10

More like give him a pre nerf aug/krieg lul

2023-10-30 22:26

Yes because hampus/rez/brollan -trio still needs to shuffle players around them, you'd do great as a nip manager

2023-10-28 18:57

I'm not sure I like this move from NIP tbh., I know Brollan isn't what he used to be, but he still seemed decent to me, sort of rain type of player, I'm surprised they benched him over REZ or k0nfig honestly, really surprised.

2023-10-28 17:13

All of them should be benched, but maybe this is just the first one and rez+k0nfig will also get benched later on.

I think this team needs a major rebuild, I defienietly don't think even the core should stay together tbh., but if I would be them and would want to keep some of the players, probably the 2 I would stay with would be Brollan and headtr1ck, but that's just my opinion ofc.

rare W from NiP management

2023-10-28 18:20

Something weird is happening... Players suddenly lefting

:facepalm:

2023-10-28 18:43

1) hate that NiP distance themselves further and further from Swedish CS, especially for a mediocre team like this 2) sad that one of the most promising young riflers has ended up like this in only a few years

2023-10-28 18:51

I think full swedish lineups are dead

Finally a good move they made. Now remove Rez and they might come good again.

Let's go. This means brollan to falcons! 🤓

2023-10-29 03:03

He's finally free! good luck to him on tier 2 team, and gl NiP in tier 3!

2023-10-29 03:20

*Nip is finally free of him What a trash player

2023-10-29 11:37

took them long enough

2023-10-29 05:32

To me it looks Brollans motivation to play the game is 0

2023-10-29 09:36

2023-10-29 12:47

wtf is NiP doing? first hampus now brollan I hope they gonna create together a new Swedish superteam that will destroy NiP, because this org became a circuss

2023-10-30 16:50

He made his bed with refusing to learn English early on. Also that Krieg nerf. I WAS a fan in those days, but seeing him fall off and refusing offers I mean. Meh. GL tho
