NiP announce new lineup

17-1-2007 19:19

Today NiP announced that Oskar “ins“ Holm would be leaving the lineup. ins joined the team along with walle and zet and he helped NiP get to where they are today.

As many of you are aware alot of rumours have been floating around the CS scene about the future of HeatoN, walle and even the NiP organisation itself, here is what walle had to say about this.

There’s been alot of turbulence in the scene lately with players changing teams, and a lot of rumours floating around. Regarding me going inactive is not entirely true – I had thoughts about going inactive when I had declined SK’s offer because of time pressure but it was never supposed to be official until I had made up my mind. I’m very glad Emil and Andreas supported me and we were able to create a new, very promising team. I’m very excited about playing 2007 out as a ninja, and I’d like to thank everyone for the support and hope you keep supporting us!

The new 2007 NiP lineup looks like this:

Bjorn “Bullen“ Wall
Emil “HeatoN“ Christensen
Øyvind “KF3“ Magnestad
Jonathan “miniw“ Wallenberg
Dennis “walle“ Wallenberg

We here at HLTV.org wish NiP the very best of luck in 2007.
More info can be found on NiP's official website

Yup.. Good luck to NiP!! :)

2007-01-17 14:34

KF3 is fucking sick. I'm looking forward to see him on a team that actually got a decent chance to go overseas :-)

2007-01-17 19:11

I like the new NiP, would've been sad to see them disappear from the scene

Best of luck NiP !

2007-01-17 20:10

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat

2007-01-17 20:47

I dont think this line up will work for the ninjas.. They are all good players, but i dont see this as a great team in the future..! But i hope it will work out.. KF3 is one hell of a sick player, and i bet he will do good.. HeatoN is back, but he is getting to old.. GL to the ninjas! :P

2007-01-17 21:01

Good luck NiP.2007.

2007-01-17 21:06

gr8 lineup ! GO NIP!

2007-01-17 22:59

This lineup can't match their former lineup; the new SK team have splitted up the potential best team in the world (RobbaN, walle, zet, ins and spawn) and now instead of one truely insane lineup we have two "medium" lineups instead. If swe is going to dominate in 2007 it's all up to fnatic. But... complexity did get some benefit out of it; zet and I am looking forward to see their results this year. But of course I might be wrong :-)

2007-01-17 23:33

really luwing the mixture! gl to nip

2007-01-17 23:52

It seems this new year is full of mixes but few solid teams. I bet on the germans, the danish, fnatic and Pentagram.

2007-01-18 02:53

I fear this might not be the answer :/ Bullen?

2007-01-18 03:19

#26 getting back to activity in gaming is just like riding a bike or having sex :-)! you need a short period of time to get back at ur previous skills

2007-01-18 06:31

Not a bad lineup at all, but not as good compared to the previous lineups if you ask me. Sure these are great players, but will they perfrom together? Time will tell. But a player like Bullen just returning like that? huh, im a bit unsure what to think about it ..

2007-01-18 10:18

I agree with #23 why not make a super team? would be nice to see=) Go HeatoN

Maybe they needed a team quickly so they made a "fast lineup" because they've got a near match in NGL One Season I think

2007-01-18 14:49

If HeatoN hadn't come back than the NiP would be almost completely different than we used to know. What can I say? GL and HF, but Fnatic still owns you :P.

2007-01-18 18:57

Fnatic has never won a match vs. NiP yet tho :)

2007-01-21 17:37

OMG ! ARE HEATHON BACK ??

2007-01-18 19:08

SEEMS SO

Think NiP might be a revelation for the upcoming season, it's a shame they lost zet and ins (especially zet, I mean he did some sick stuff now and then) but I feel this team can really mean something in the 1.6 scene. walle is one of the better awp-players imo and he has players alongside him who can dominate a game with rifles, looking forward to seeing them play gl Ninjas, I'm cheering for you guys \o/ agree with #23 that the SK line-up looks better, but who knows, surprises might happen yet again in the 1.6 scene
