oh no.. anyway..

Well for FaZe it’s an immediate benefit seeing as they’re playing better without him. Seems like him and ynk didn’t bring good energy to the team. I think it’s a good move for G2 because I think hunter will be able to keep him calm and focused, and of course he’s still a top 3 player.

i think nikos attitude in g2 will be very different, i really dont see him ending up as IGL there like he did in faze.

Well the management in G2 is much better than in faze, so you’re probably right.

true, im just sayin i wish they had the backing of a better org that actually know what theyre doing...

There is still insufficient evidence that they are playing better without him. OG and Vitallity are teams FaZe was beating with NiKo. Kjaerbye might be the reason for FaZe's improved performance.

Broky improved a lot because now he has a lot of space since he was playing around NiKo positions before in maps like Nuke. Btw, totally agree that I don't see any big improvement, they look like the same but with players having more freedom.

I actually think it was YnK forcing strategies and not letting players play loose, not NiKo although he gets all the shit. Also remember they won New York with NiKo and started playing better after Kjaerbye joined.

I'm not saying they didn't let the players play freely, but if the influence area of NiKo is outside Nuke, Broky hasn't a lot to do or positions to play with an awp when he can't go garage or secret because NiKo is there doing multi kills and having impact all the rounds. Last games NiKo changed positions and let them more space, but it's clear that it was to help them adapt before he leaves. Now that he's gone, Broky has a lot of space to take and play with, that's why he looks better now, same for kjaerbye in other maps or other players. They need to take more risks, but they are aim skilled so they are gonna be fine. After NiKo said that he likes G2 because they have a strong coach that takes decisions I really don't know what YNK was doing more than clubbing all day.

well niko should play outside on any team. period. but the mistake was that he was too alone, broky should have played there with him. Not always but often. considering ynk is very analytical and methodical, faze's playstyle makes me think he did have input there. the problem was 5th player. when kjaerbye joined they started to perform.

2020-11-09 20:59

i get these guuse bimps every time

2020-11-09 17:18

ChoKo must leave G2 and they will play better too.

2020-11-09 18:50

YEEEEEEEEEEES STOP ASKING!!!

2020-11-09 18:52

Anyone knows, or has an idea of how much they paid for him?

2020-11-09 18:52

faze became better G2 better at start due to motivation and hype, top10 in the long run

Agreed

2020-11-09 19:17

Faze really benefits from it. Yes niko is extremely good. But it came with a toll, and now that its gone. The full potentional of the others can be used.

2020-11-09 19:21

For G2 I'd say yes, they got a top3 player, NiKo won't be IGLing and he'll be playing alongside his brother who's also a great player. For FaZe it's too early to say. In terms of results, they seem to have started well but they had also defeated both Vitality and OG recently in IEM New York (which FaZe won). If tension was high between NiKo and the rest of the team, then sure, it was a good move. If it wasn't then if he had handed the IGL role then maybe FaZe could've gotten better.
