Metizport release nilo

10-1-2025 12:58

One of Europe's hottest prospects is on the market.

nilo came through NIP's academy system

Metizport have announced they have released Linus "⁠nilo⁠" Bergman, ending the 20-year-old's 16-month stint with the team.

nilo's release comes amidst rumours linking him with HEROIC, but whether that move will come to pass remains to be seen.

Media: HEROIC sign SunPayus and nilo to round out Sangal trio

nilo came through the Ninjas in Pyjamas academy system before joining Metizport late in 2023, where he turned heads and became known as one of Europe's hottest prospects, averaging an impressive 1.21 rating as the team's clear star player playing tier-two competition.

He notably helped the team win RES Western European Masters early in 2024, taking down top 10 sides Apeks and FURIA along the way, to qualify for BLAST Spring Showdown 2024. There Metizport beat Falcons and Monte before missing out on Spring Final qualification to Spirit. These results saw the team peak inside the top 30 of the world ranking.

Roster changes knocked Metizport down a peg after their peak, with Tim "⁠susp⁠" Ångström being picked up by Wildcard and Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson transferring to GamerLegion, but the team still put together some decent results in lesser events, notably beating Ninjas in Pyjamas to win Svenska Cupen towards the end of the year, with nilo putting up a server-leading 1.36 rating.

Metizport are now:

Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora
Casper "⁠SHiNE⁠" Wennerberg
Lucas "⁠L00m1⁠" Haukland
Adam "⁠adamb⁠" Ångström

Ahmed "⁠abdi⁠" Abdi (coach)

No, heroic will be a good team for him. Heroic are with the sangal core and sunpayus already a topp 20 team and quite frankly there’s no better team than heroic for him.

Heroic the last years is and have been a good feeder team, pickup talent, those who deserve it and are recognized are let go to bigger teams where they either make their career or go to other t2 teams where they might be picked up.
