RFRSH confirm niko move to OpTic

28/9/2018 - 11:14

As part of the Danish post-Major shuffle, Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen will now play for OpTic after his stand-in period in North.

niko had been loaned out by his former team Heroic in a swap deal with Daniel "⁠mertz⁠" Mertz that lasted for the duration of DreamHack Masters Stockholm and the FACEIT Major, the 20-year-old helping North to win the former event with the squad beat big teams such as Natus Vincere and Danish rivals Astralis, as niko managed an impressive 1.17 rating in the Swedish capital.

As part of the shuffle, mertz has in turn been signed by Heroic, the 19-year-old being a part of the roster since early August.

niko helped North win DreamHack Masters Stockholm

niko's move to OpTic has previously been reported by HLTV.org and DBLTAP and comes after the 20-year-old left North, who instead brought in Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade, who had been loaned out to the GreenWall troops after his stay in the now-defunct North Academy.

With gade going to North and niko joining the roster, OpTic now has the following lineup:

Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer
Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Jakob "⁠JUGi⁠" Hansen
René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg
Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen

-cajunb+blameff

omg what a sick move, now if you -snappi +karrigan and this could easily become a top 8 team, insane firepower, great awper, good support and really good igl, even now just with niko it should at least be top 15

2018-09-28 11:25

too many reshuffles in Denmark tier2-3 teams

2018-09-28 11:27

-snappi +karrigan or MSL

2018-09-28 11:32

k0nfig and cajun wont play with MSLUL again. maybe karrigan, but i think he will return to IGL role in faze
