So incredible proud of this team - players, staff, org, fans, family and everyone who supported us in what can only be described as one of the hardest grinds we have ever had to do! We ACTUALLY went from 0 VRS to qualifying to the Major! @NIPCS @Xizt @SnappiCSGO @sjuushCS
FROM 0 VRS TO QUALIFYING FOR THE MAJOR, NIP MAGIC IS BACK 🥷 See you in Budapest, Ninjas 🇭🇺🫡 @sjuushCS @SnappiCSGO @ewjerkz @xKacpersky @r1nkle1

Thanks to @ChahineHicham for believing in the rebuild and sending us around the globe chasing VRS points, and none of this would have been possible without @ErikWendel who was in charge of building this project! 🥷

Big vouch! Our time together wasn't long, but Kobi was a great person and professional to work with. A really solid pickup for any org that wants to enter Tekken or add more players to their Tekken roster. 👊❤️
With the upcoming season for Tekken 8, I'm still a free agent looking for an org to call home and elevate our brands to the next level as I aim to qualify for TWT and EWC: - Former TWT Finalist - Multiple Major Top 8’s - Gamers8 🇬🇧 Team Captain 🔄 appreciated, contact email in

Looking back in a few years, I think this might be one of those key signings for NIP CS academy's development. We've had the pleasure of working with Zitte behind the scenes for a few months, and to me, he's that modern new era of CS coaches. Educated teacher, worked for years

After speaking with Fredrik, both sides ended up feeling that "we tried, we're happy for the great times we had together, but it's time to move on". We say goodbye to a player, a colleague, and a friend to many of us at NIP. Reliable REZ❤️🥹

#19 - Nayomy 🇳🇱 NIP reached their first ESL Impact LAN finals with Nayomy playing a key role in getting them there, having the second highest rating in EU for S6! 2024 was Nayomy's best year yet, but this is only the beginning for this young star!

Pick him up before we figure out a way to bring yet another NIP legend back to us! Jokes aside Adam would be a huge benefit for any team, he's been active in Swedish CS past years as the best Swedish color commentator with his insights and experience. But it's a waste to not
Transitioning from player to coach for 2025. With my history in top teams, including MVP at a Major and IGLing for OpTic & Dignitas, I know what it takes to win. My focus: leadership, communication, and core fundamentals at CS's highest level. Need a head coach? Let's talk on DM!
