Earlier this year, I made the difficult decision to part ways with NIP. The main reason was that I didn't want to be in a role where performance-related work wasn't part of what I do. That's something that matters a lot to me. As for what's next, I'm still figuring that out, whether that's within esports or beyond it. But for now, I want to take a moment to thank everyone at NIP, especially Robin, Troels, and Erik. I'm grateful for the time we shared and everything we worked on together. Wishing the whole organization the very best.
What a crazy ride it has been!
Your were one of the main reasons I rejoined NIP back in 2023 as I knew NIP would be heading in the right direction.
Now go take that well deserved break as I am sure you will do great things regardless of where you end up in the future. You might not longer be my colleague but you will always be my friend! ❤️
GLHF!
IF you're confused about the VRS system and how it is affecting invites and tournaments statuses then this episode of @TechGirlZA's Feed the Trolls with @THREAT_CS is just what the doctor ordered:

As we look to get our team ready to compete in 2025, NIP and Maxster have come to the mutual decision to move forward separately. Today, we are announcing that Maxster has moved to the bench and we will be supporting him as he looks for the next step in his professional journey. We want to thank Maxster for his incredible contributions to the team over the years, and can't wait to see him tear up the server wherever he goes next.
Thanks, Super Max!
While our CS Main team now travels to the RMR to show the world what they're capable of, I have some exciting news to fans of Swedish CS! 🇸🇪
With the help of our ever faithful partner Red Bull Sweden I'm happy to tell you more about [SWE] CS Summit that we'll host in less than two weeks.
Looking back a bit more than 1 year ago, we were a group of Swedes at NIP with the urge to do something to help Swedish CS. NIP is a Swedish CS org, from Sweden, with a lot of Swedes behind the scenes. That urge lead to many ideas, you've seen some of them like the recent announcement of f0rest coming back. Getting these legends closer to today's CS is a core part of nurturing the Swedish CS scene.
Now, we can finally tell you about another one of these ideas, which is to gather many of Sweden's CS legends and stakeholders under one roof, the [SWE] CS Summit. To share experiences, mistakes, and learnings. To look each other in the eyes and have very honest and open discussions on how we can work better together. To be part of panels, watch inspiring guest lecturer and attend workshops. To make us all better, to make Swedish CS better.
While NIP and Red Bull Sweden are hosting this, it's very important to note that NIP is just one of many teams, profiles and stakeholders there. When we sent out the invitation emails we quickly learned that the interest and appreciation for something like this was huge, so we're proud to say that all big stakeholders in Sweden will attend, including many Swedish legends.
I will of course be there myself and I'm very excited to meet all the other participants and to see what will be the outcome of the day. I'm not saying we'll solve everything related to Swedish CS in one day, but this sure is one great step in the right direction. 💛💙
I'm seeing some questions, so I'd like to clarify: since Young Ninjas currently don't have a full squad, we've allowed the players to see what is on the market until we find a new coach/teammate. The project continues, but their career prospects are equally important to us!
