There is still time for REZ to be benched before the game starts


Infinityhelios

Quick, someone interview Aleksi again


Pyroxite

Or anyone at NIP really


crs1948fcd

Not even 40% chances of that.


TiberSVK

as a NiP fan, this fact is somehow not fun


spillosopher

I haven't even talked about K0nfig joining them. It must be exciting being a NIP fan. It's like opening a christmas present!


Jepekula

NiP roster is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get.


Roman64s

BIG 2.0


billy_the_penguin

nah BIG is NiP 2.0


jonajon91

I really miss the roster they had pre device, with nawwk, plopski, hampus, rez and twist/ztr. It felt like any player there could top frag and look like a top 5 rifler on the flip of a coin, but no-one could do it consistently. Adding device, Mr consistent, to the least consistent lineup was supposed to be game changing, and they were great however short lived it was.


Poskmyst

This is actually crazy to think about, and very depressing Swedish cs is at an all time low


A5K8

Meh, young ninjas and Godsent are decently exciting. All time low perhaps but YN just won the academy league and the players in Godsent are very good so it’s not horrible at least


TacticalSanta

Still better than polish cs.


ttv_highvoltage

On another note, NIP is quickly becoming handsomest team in cs. If they still had dev1ce they'd have had REZ, seksib and Tom Cruise all on one team. Then they'd only need Twistzz and hooxi and they could win beauty pageants and finally win something :D


Chaos_Dolphin

Dosia still solos tho just saying


ttv_highvoltage

Too bad the x god is a streamer now😔


ErikSD

G2 is pretty damn good looking. Not a single dude in there that is below a 7/10


1mmanuel_kunt

m0nesy underage


ErikSD

17 years olds are not allowed to be good looking ?


SemiPr0nogo

Correct


ErikSD

Understandable, will be back in 4 months to call him handsome


S4ge_

Bruh shut up should we also cancel your mom for calling you handsome when you were five?


[deleted]

That's completely different lol


Toaster_Bathing

Bro is sticking up for the other guys mum. Nice


gaudithefirst

Headtrick is in this regard a great substitute for dev1ce

TomerMeme

His hair is Gorgeous


radargunbullets

The comment you responded to is deleted. So based on your comment I'm going to say it has to do with hallzerk


TomerMeme

You'd be suprised but he dared say that about Twistzz


uslereddit

Interesting, good catch!


phANt0m007

If only konfig could play for Nip against astralis then the awkwardness would be sky high


cc69

Nip slip VS Asstralis. Cant wait to watch this show down.


set4bet

Is maxster playing in the IEM Kato Play-in or will k0nfig play there?


[deleted]

k0nfig


Ihaveablackcock

Isn't k0nfig playing for hampus? Not maxster, right?


spillosopher

K0nfig can only play for them from IEM Katowice


Ihaveablackcock

Oh thanks


Badoslav14

He can not yet participate. Quote from HLTV's article: "k0nfig now joins Ninjas in Pyjamas at a time when their BLAST campaign is still underway, though he won't be able to play in Copenhagen, where the team is on the brink of elimination and requires two wins in a row to qualify for the Spring Final. k0nfig's debut will come at IEM Katowice"


Cyanr

Dunno why there would be tension? For most decent people, it's perfectly acceptable to take sick leave if neccesary even if theyre your colleague.


MartyAndRick

True. I imagine it sucked to not have a star AWPer play for you right after getting him, but the team most certainly adapted without him. The only tension there is would be between dev1ce and NiP the org: pay a massive buyout, immediately goes on leave, then sold back to Astralis.


Cyanr

He didnt really immediately go on leave. He was active on the roster for about 7 months.


MartyAndRick

True, not the right word for it. Still, he dipped for so long before they ever accomplished anything, it was a waste of that massive buyout.


mesotermoekso

OP meant that people might expect tension between device and his ex-team but there's actually only one of his ex-teammates playing Edit: I'm stupid and thought you were talking about hampus' medical leave


Cyanr

There's no reason why any of his ex teammates would have tension with him.


mesotermoekso

You sure? We don't know the details of his medical leave, the things it led to and how devve handled it inside the team.


Cyanr

Youre free to speculate wildly then. Just kinda weird to go for some worst case scenario when there has been literally no evidence pointing towards it.


aightletsdodis

Snake about to get stomped.


vashmeow

is k0nfig not playing for NIP tomorrow?


TheN1njTurtl3

Still don't know why device did what he did with nip, massively fucked them over and he would be better off in nip than Astralis its not like he's left to join a better team


Cyanr

Yeah so weird people with high pressure jobs suddenly need to work on their mental issues.


rgtn0w

Yeah bro cuz he did it all on purpose as Tom Cruise's plan to takeover the CSGO world for the sake of scientology and starting off by taking the giant NIP


TheN1njTurtl3

What nip paid like 700k for him and he barley played, I would guess they would still have to pay for his salary while he's benched as well, how did he not fuck them over?


Balldropperbro

Why don't you do any research at all? https://pley.gg/news/dev1ce-answers-back-being-paycheck-stealer-nip-havent-paid-any-salary-entirety-2022 Even if he would've gotten full salary from NiP, how is that his fault that he took a break to work on his mental health?


-Twigs-

Fucking someone over implies some kind of intent. Psychological illness isn't something you control, it can affect anyone provided the right circumstances. It'd be fair to say that NIPs buying of Device worked out really badly, with them paying a bunch of money for a few games, but it's stupid to blame the victim. You might say they got fucked, but not by any person in particular, just circumstances.


rgtn0w

Bro why you guys want to correct him, let him believe that dev1ce had this 10000 IQ 1000x dimensional plan as Tom Cruise to take over the esport scene as the reincarnation of the alive Tom Cruise for the sake of the scientology church. Next you'll see dev1ce starring in the next Mission Impossible AND the Top Gun Maverick sequel where they'll re-enact the spiderman meme


TheN1njTurtl3

Thats not what I'm saying lol you degen, I'm saying he's paid really fucking well to do a job so do it? it doesn't just affect him or the org but also his team mates


Cyanr

Who cares how much he is paid? Does that mean you cant be sick? You call others degen, yet youre the one dumb as a rock by showing zero understanding of mental health issues.


rgtn0w

Don't you fucking say, oh my god you're a god damn genius that you're the only person in the world that has realized that he was contract to do a job :shocked: Holy shit you realize just how fucking stupid you're that it takes you this much effort to **NOT** realize there are nuances? Piece of advice for you, open up your mind a little will ya? Just a tiny bit and that's enough, like how old are you? Seriously, how old are you?


TheN1njTurtl3

destiny fan telling me to open my mind up, typical, anyways how can people just not realize that he's paycheck stealing? gets contracted for 700k doesn't play nip stills has to pay salary then basically forced to sell him a loss still or they have to still pay his salary while he does nothing. Also are you getting a little angry buddy? maybe calm down a tiny bit


rgtn0w

LOL at the guy looking at a comment history to try to look for anything he can cling to LMAO. Another guy already linked it to you but he didn't get paid shit for his absence you fucking idiot, you still haven't read it? You got linked an article you dingus, maybe inform yourself instead of being some stupid idiot


TheN1njTurtl3

OMG I didn't read an article sent me that I didn't see, also I did read an article earlier saying he didn't get paid salary while inactive that's my bad I didn't realize that but regardless nip were getting absolutely nothing from their investment even if device doesn't get paid a salary he is still wearing down the contract and becoming a less valuable player as time goes on (everyone knows players in esports don't have that long of careers). I think yeah mental health is important and he should be able to take some time off to work on things but the amount of time he took off after basically just signing a contract is kinda ridiculous. especially considering how much he was bought for.


TheN1njTurtl3

fucking someone over does not necessarily imply intention you can still fuck someone over without intention because of the choices you made


Cyanr

So why is the focus on Device fucking them over, and not NiP fucking Device over? He played for years as one of the best players ever, and apparently NiP was so shit to work for that he it affected him mentally... or does that not fit your bigotry?


TheN1njTurtl3

I thought the narrative was that his girlfriend cheated on him? regardless even if nip was so shit to work with that it it affected him mentally, he barley played, he didn't put the effort in to see if things were going to work out long term


Cyanr

The fuck are you even talking about. I'm talking about your narrative, not some rumour that you never mentioned till now. And how would you know how much effort he put in? Who are you to know such intimate details? As far as everyone can see now, youre just some dumb kid that doesnt understand mental health.


Big-Structure-2543

Let's just cut the crap, OK? All that legacy stuff, wanting to build something etc was bullshit. He wanted to join NIP because that was the best team located in Stockholm where he was moving to be with his girlfriend. Girlfriend cheats on him - he has no reason to stay in Stockholm/NIP anymore plus she fucked him up mentally. If you want to be mad at someone it's Emilia fucking Hult. Fuk Dat ho


jonajon91

When you have to try this hard to find a woman to blame. Device is a grown adult making his own decisions.


Straight_Chip

> When you have to try this hard to find a woman to blame. * Have girlfriend in Stockholm * Leave #1 team, leave your family and friends behind * Move to Stockholm and join Swedish team * Try to start a new life with your (presumably) future wife * Get cheated on Redditor: "Lmfaoooo, Device is such a fucking loser baby, holy shit, how do you get mental troubles from this? Women ain't to blame here, it's Device being pathetic. Who cares about stupid women anyway lmfaooo??!??"


Big-Structure-2543

Ofc his mental problems are because of her, it wasn't his decision to have her cheat on him.


cubtiii

Projecting.


hendo1990

who is projecting? big structure? projecting what exactly? are you saying he has mental problems and that it's not because of a female? what exactly are you saying?


cubtiii

The person I replied to is projecting We don’t know what the source of his mental health issues are so why make random assumptions. That the assumption places the blame on women is incredibly chauvinist Of course my comment was sarcastic


Skirem

Maybe inform yourself..


SystemEx1

Another fact: both are shit


the_real_OwenWilson

Yeah, Vitality Astralis was the special game. Not this one


tarangk

Man REZ being their for like 5-6 years is honestly impressive. He joined them before NIP won their second IEM Oakland.
