11-3-2025 14:49

The French veteran will make his first broadcast appearance since 2019.

Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt will feature on BLAST's official English broadcast for the upcoming BLAST Open Lisbon tournament, the organizers revealed on Tuesday as part of the talent lineup announcement.

The event will mark the French veteran's first broadcast appearance in six years, following his last recorded outing as a guest commentator in 2019's cs_summit tournaments, which he also competed at with Vitality and OG.

NBK- will line up on the analyst desk alongside several BLAST mainstays, Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche, Alex "⁠Mauisnake⁠" Ellenberg and Donald "voo" Parkhurst.

The lineup also features Alex "⁠Machine⁠" Richardson and Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill, who will make their first appearance at a non-Major BLAST event since 2021's Fall Final.

BLAST Open Lisbon will run from March 19-30, with all of the current top 10 teams as per HLTV's and Valve's rankings in attendance vying for a $400,000 prize pool. The group stage will take place in BLAST's studio in Copenhagen before the event moves to Lisbon's MEO Arena for the playoffs.

Pimp still getting employed 😔

Fixed contracts. Prolly yearly so we’re stuck with him😕just mute hahh

2025-03-11 15:21

He's danish and Blast is a danish company. Literally the only reason why this slimeball gets to be on the desk.

2025-03-11 17:14

I normally don't care about friends being gifted easy money but pimp is so bad that he is damaging BLAST business model but they keep give him job

2025-03-11 17:15

pimp was good at the start but became very cringe nowadays, wonder why

2025-03-12 17:17

I like blast getting pros and ex pros on analyst desk.

good for him

Another even and still no Anders.

2025-03-11 14:55

please NO more anders. why invite amateurs?

u should stop baiting like that

2025-03-11 16:15

this is no bait. its actual truth, its the very reason why he hasnt been at events while his partners / expartners are still there.

2025-03-11 16:29

You are saying that when they have the most boring casting duo of Machine & Spunj.

2025-03-11 17:27

not true. people who think machine is actually boring are truly the most dumb people around. no one has such dynamic choice of words anders only repeats like a bot. aka ur extremely regarded.

2025-03-11 18:11

Spunj probably most boring caster, but idk why you saying anything you only watched for like 4 months.

2025-03-12 05:51

idk bring anders back?

"guest commentator in 2019's cs_summit tournaments, which he also competed at with Vitality and OG." - what the hell? how did he play for both vit and OG? Stand-in?

2025-03-11 14:59

Multiple tournaments

2025-03-11 15:30

instead of pimp get anders no one wants to hear pimp he is so annoying

Wdym you don't want to hear pimp yapping about his weight loss journey?

lol i played against NBK 2 days ago on Premiere, roasted my mate and shit, was fun

2025-03-11 15:34

PLS STOP HIRING FUCKING BANKS, u had a great host in previous lisbon tournament, there are other who u can hire and not fucking banks, if they host him for major I will die

Your complain is him being stage host bad or desk host bad? Because stage it seems hasnt been announced yet Oh nvm i think freya is supposed to desk host and banks stage host. I agree

2025-03-11 16:08

thank you for supporting this cause. banks is the most boring personality, alongside anders. they can co-cast t3 events.

2025-03-11 16:30

hes not just boring, he's first of all fake, then as an interviewer very bad, stupid question if comparing to sjoks I wouldn't even dare to call him an interviewer, and his fucking bring the hype is so fucking cringe

2025-03-11 16:34

PLZ MAKE SOME NOISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee he once did a reply in the forum, called us trolls. says he is actually 'blessed' to have the job. which also means to say, he doesnt care there are others more deserving of the job so long as he has his. this is how selfish one can be. but agree with fake. had always known

2025-03-11 16:54

Idk why they didnt put Archarom in the list of the article but is going to be there with Banks. He has nice moments at blast and on putting some crazy hype moments They put im on the comments atleast: x.com/BLASTPremier/status/18994498250635..
