Official: Dignitas re-enter male CS:GO with legendary NiP quintet and hallzerk; Fifflaren to coach*

21/1/2020 - 18:01

Dignitas have officially returned to male CS:GO with the signing of the legendary NIP quintet and Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli, with Robin "⁠Fifflaren⁠" Johansson becoming the team's coach.

Update: The team will be coached by Fifflaren, the organization additionally revealed on their website.

The move confirms last year's reports of Dignitas' return to CS:GO, in which the organization has only fielded a female team since mid-2018 after dropping their American roster around Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney,

Their new lineup features four players from the original NIP roster, Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund, Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström, and Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg, who constituted the longest-standing four-man core in the game, having played together for nearly five years in 2012-2017.

The Major-winning NiP quartet comes together again under Dignitas

Alongside Fifflaren, who has also been signed as the new team's coach, the quartet dominated in the early years of the CS:GO and became famous for their 87-0 record in 2012-2013 and their Major triumph at ESL One Cologne 2014.

The last piece of the active lineup is 19-year-old hallzerk, who mainly made his name in Nordavind over the last two years, most recently helping the Norwegian side qualify for ESEA MDL Europe Season 33. The youngster was picked as one of the "bold predictions" in the Top 20 players of 2018 series by his compatriot Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard, who called hallzerk "the next big thing Norway will come with."

"When this offer fell into my lap, I felt this was the best choice for my future of everything I had on the table. Mostly, because I didn't want to end my career already and that burning desire came into my core that I haven't felt for some time. Joining an organization like DIG is like a dream come true - mostly because of the people around it, the team itself and what the goals are for the future. I'm more excited to wake up every day knowing it'll be a battle, but a battle I will not give up that easily."

- Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund

"I'm super excited to be joining the DIG family. It was important for me to find an org who values the players and respects the process and I believe that I've done just that with DIG. I look forward to doing great things together, Let's go make history again."

- Robin "⁠Fifflaren⁠" Johansson

According to DBLTAP, Dignitas is going to participate in the North American league code-named "B Site", which is reportedly set to kick off in March with the regular season.

Dignitas boast the following lineup:

Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg
Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström
Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund
Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg
Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli

Robin "⁠Fifflaren⁠" Johansson (coach)

Really? Is there I reason why?

2020-01-21 18:23

there are some rumours but nothing confirmed

2020-01-21 18:36

Yes, there are some recordings of their voicecoms during training sessions, the atmosphere is toxic as hell, especially between snax+byali and taz.

2020-01-21 18:37

i dont get it so who with who and against who you guys say all the name at the same time is it Snax+byali vs Taz+neo+pasha ?

2020-01-21 21:08

well, generally snax+byali vs taz. pasha and neo were rather neutral, trying to keep things nice

2020-01-21 23:44

what was they are fighting for ? what the cause ?

2020-01-22 07:43

I don't know exactly, but at the time of those arguments, VP was on a downward spiral, 2 years with horrible placings and no results, so I guess it's the overall animosity and small things added up to the bubble that finally burst. Among those things were (reportedly): byali being toxic, snax thinking he's the ronaldinho of CS, taz getting a free gift mercedes from VP CEO for winning the major (while others got nothing), leadership/IGL issues, the guys being burnt out together. The team has just run out of fuel in the end.

2020-01-22 15:48

Mercedes has fuel tho fosho :D

2020-01-25 03:17

ah right, i heard about the rumour about the car thing I thought it's all of them just don't fit to each other, so there was sides.

2020-01-22 12:19

who cars about this kids neo pasha taz loord kuben

2020-01-21 18:33

and no1 cars about grandpas who will never be tier1 again anyway

im VP/G5 fan since 1.6 but that's thr truth, they just don't have future in csgo as a players, mby coachs

2020-01-21 18:38

2020-01-22 02:26

no its all snax that fat fuck destroy everything when e started the word fight with tazz

2020-01-23 15:39

I think everyone hates Taz but im not really sure why but i think there is a good reason for it

2020-01-21 18:53

Not true. He recently played with neo in one team , just to remind you, therefore i dont know where from u have ur "info"but i would call it fake info instead.

2020-01-21 19:06

Snax flame Taz hardcore and Byali said Kuben were bad leaders. As far as I'm aware Neo, Taz and Pasha get on fine. It was also said in an interview somewhere that Neo thought of Byali as the perfect player to have in a team because he also did what was asked. It really only seems like Snax is the outsider in that line up.

2020-01-21 19:20

everybody go fine with Pasha cuz he is clearly the most charismatic player to ever exist

2020-01-21 21:33

Snax was my favourite player once upon a time. Hate to see this :(

Snax was the problem Gents. That's all, and it is info from the inside. As Snax favorite person was Byali, now Youve got Your answer.

2020-01-22 16:46

I never had a question, or needed an answer. I'm confused by your comment.

liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Absolute_Le.. Your comment made me think of the swedish lineup (._.')

2020-01-21 18:50

didnt even think about it but classic tier2-3 team in 2013 yeah. I had forgotten about that team name/org. I only remember team X that had the same players basically

2020-01-21 18:55

Yeah I remember team x too. AL just came to my mind because of the words you used hah, otherwise it would still be in some forgotten corner in my memory (._.')

2020-01-21 19:05

I remember specifically when NiP was about to lose against them and get sent home in group stages already (something that had never happened at that point) by team x who was basically nonamers. But nip turned it around from like 10-15 with that sick ninja defuse on d2 and won the overtime and later on won the whole tournament youtu.be/XW4rqF7y0UI?t=2430

2020-01-22 10:51

future adversaries pronax/rdl and future teammate pyth allu watching behind Team X as well?

2020-01-22 17:06

Correct :)

2020-01-23 13:11

It isn't Hallzerk. It's a dude with and "e" instead of an "a" in his name. Look again.

2020-01-22 09:50

I figured that first but he had a userid of only 6000. He's probably hacked or bought some old account and changed the name. The time when pros were using hltv all the time is way gone I guess

2020-01-22 10:49

Hellzerk is hallzerk big brother. Hellzerk played against forest and get_right in 1.6 youtu.be/_mB8IiNxtN0

2020-01-22 11:10

How tf could you have a 150k id and don't know who hellzerk is. It is actually more likely that you have hacked or bought some old account lmao.

2020-01-23 16:02

I had a long period of not watching or playing CS between like 2010-2013 when I started playing CSGO again. But I honestly did recognize the name hallzerk when I first saw it a few months ago, but I just thought i've seen him in some tier3 team in csgo, but maybe I recognized it as hellzerk from my 1.6 days. Idk.

2020-01-23 16:07

2020-01-21 18:18

2020-01-21 18:39

2020-01-22 19:07

YAY!

2020-01-24 01:50

So I started watching csgo in 2014 and NiP were on a stream and became my fave team, now the original 4 are in another team, who tf do I support now :S

2020-01-25 19:36

This is the best news in years, Fifflaren the goat fucking mastermind back in CSGO! :D

Do you have any idea how a roster like this can attract sponsors and partners?

2020-01-21 19:48

they will never achieve anything anyways

2020-01-21 20:53

Most likely, yes. But esports it's not all about the game itself, in our days.

2020-01-21 22:51

>paycheck >stealers if it generates them money why not? ofc everyone wanted to achieve something but they're old enough to realize that's not going to happen soon

2020-01-22 12:33

excited for male csgo for sure!

lets gooooooo

0:09 in that clip "I WANT HUNGRY PLAYERS" *Adds GTR, Friberg & Xizt* ?????????????????

what is the problem with those 3? Just because they are past their prime you think they are not hungry for more CS? I doubt there are many ppl who are more dedicated to CS than GTR.

2020-01-21 18:15

Exactly!

2020-01-21 19:31

lmfaoooooooooooooooooo

2020-01-21 19:37

same thought .. just because they are oldest in pro scene doesn't mean they aren't "hungry" anymore. I hope this lineup does well in future .. love these guys <3

2020-01-21 19:44

It will nice to see them compete, I don't expect big results. They only doing for fun. gl hf

I think they can quali at least for european minor Gl legends!

Sadly being a fan of f0rest i expect BIG results :(

you dont have to do your dirty laundry at a retirement home what are you talking about

It has been a while since Dignitas had a good team. Fetish with Astralis core

rip hallzerk he joined a retirement team so early in his carreer

hallzerk to retire at age 19 confirmed??!

r.i.p. he was way too young

2020-01-21 18:07

Isn’t he a guy who pushed to play with Mojo and was raging all the time ?

Haha i remember those videos. But i believe its not him mens)

2020-01-21 19:50

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

NICE

Fifflaren got fucked cuz he was crying too much

he's coach

>It's time for a new dynasty 4 old players ooooof

It always feels good when u see a major change in cs :)

gl legends

omg should've been picked up by team ancient🤣

*oldguysclub

Just one question What the fuck Hellzerk doing here? He just someone's friend or?

Epic, what a time to be alive

let's go!!!

inb4 better than actual nip

of course it is, what did the current NiP lineup win? Nothing What did this one win? A major

2020-01-21 21:40

Past results are not going to help them win anything. The good thing is that they aren't too old. Best luck!

fe team is still better tho

DIG MAGIC

so its more NiP than NiP itself

FINALLY! :D took 4ever!<33333333333333

expected

Am I the only one *not* excited about this? friberg hasn't shown anything good for 5 years, GTR is currently at the lowest point of his entire career and Xizt has some good moments but he's pretty inconsistent. I feel like they'll make a change within the first six months, and if they don't then it's proof that this roster cares more about having a happy fun time in the sun than about winning things. Most exciting thing about this roster is hallzerk, honestly. We all know what f0rest can do but he's not going to be able to carry this lineup alone. Let's see if hallzerk can emerge as the second star.

This roster is going nowhere, i guess people are just excited to see this historic lineup back together. If VP brought their lineup together i'm sure people would be excited aswell even though they probably wouldn't achieve anything notable. This is just another example of how delusional the original NiP players are. Imagine f0rest, still a great player and potential champion choosing to play with GTR who just had to leave NiP due to a long slump, friberg who barely has shown anything in forever and xizt with his inconsistency and outdated IGL style instead of rising and promising talents in REZ and plopski.

In your opinion, in this day and age, would the golden five of NiP or VP would be better? Just curious

Although fifflaren is by far the worst player out of all of them I would still say that NiP would be better considering that four of them have all played in top tier teams in tier 1 tournaments in recent times (friberg a while back with heroic tho) were as the VP players have either player in lower levels or not played at all.

Fair enough, thanks for the answer!

Completely agreed. My guess is that it's probably a combination of the offer of an extremely high salary, and the fact that he's recently become a father and so maybe wishes to take a step back from the highest level of competition. It's sad at any rate. Wasted talent.

F0rest just got a child & probably wants to retire pretty soon anyways, dont be so harsh on him. Would rather want to see him play with the old lineup some more instead of just flat out retiring

2020-01-21 18:58

They won't make a change even if they lose every single map. It's a retirement home, you see, and a nice get-together for the old times sake, for the old boys.

2020-01-21 23:53

if you're going to make a tier 5 team you might aswell add in fifflaren, why not go with the full golden five

8 replies

why would they get TaZ, NEO, luq, Loord and kuben?

2020-01-21 18:13

*budget golden five

fifflaren hasnt played pro for 5 years or something but would be ballin

They're playing with gtr, xizt and friberg, might aswell add in another outdated player.

2020-01-21 18:17

meistr0 is that you? Who am I kidding, of course it is.

2020-01-21 18:28

there you go Fifflaren joined them as manager (wont be playing tho)

Because there's 0% chance to be in top30 with Fifflaren.

As opposed to the 10% chance they have with this roster... Unless GTR comes back.

2020-01-23 07:28

Things you love to see

DAMN!! NICE!

2020-01-21 18:10

will this lineup work? i hope so

Now Dignitas > fnatic finally

Memories. They wont achieve much unless hallzerk goes mental, but its still nice to have them back.

-hallzerk +fifflaren mom pls

Don’t wanna hate, wish them goodluck. Some of them are absolute legends. But honestly, this will go nowhere. What a joke. Easy marketing and merchandise money for dignitas Easy paycheck for the washed up old dudes.

IT CAME HOME))

good luck to these legends! Though I don’t expect anything major from this lineup

LOVE THIS ONE! GL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S GO!

wtf

GL Boys!

fifflaren coach hype

Average player age: 27.6

2020-01-21 18:45

Without Fifflaren

YES! Instantly my 4th favorite team!

"legendary"

best thing ever happening in csgo history

Internet explorer bois

hype, good luck

well f0rest just killed his own career

Isn't it slightly incorrect to call it "male" CS:GO when there are no segregational barriers involved? A female could join this team if they were good enough, whereas the same is not true for a male joining a female team.

Excited!!

NiP 2.0

Fiffy coach pogg

nignitas

YESSS

POOOGGGGG

really excited about this project, i hope they are able to perform, would suck to see f0rest waste his last tier 1 years against tier 2 teams...

Certainly here for the lul.. They're fully aware they're not capable of winning anything anymore, might as well just enjoy it with bros

alright!

Fiffy LUL

OMEGALUL

FRIIIIIIIIIIIIII BERG

Retirement home inc.

good luck excited for this

they aint gonna become top 10 with this line up unless they show something totally unexpected. the scene is way tougher and different from what it was in the beginning of csgo, but i still respect them.

the quintet is back holy shit

Exciting team. Would love it if they can bring back the flair and hype from the original-NIP line-up.

2020-01-21 18:19

> New Dynasty > Dignitas roster choose one

probably wont do too well but still fun to see

nice<3 gl

well thats interdasting

disband in 6 months max

Nice retirement home

..friberg does return, picks off pronax, he's still here though and he's going for more! TWO big frags! The third man is here and our friend friberg has back off....but FRIBERG SOMEHOW OPENS IT UP! SINGLEHANDEDLY! All three frags! But the bomb is on the other siiide...

The legendary 5 back together on a team.. What a treat. I love to see it

Who?

Love this team. I hope they'll perform well.

As a NiP Core fan this is like a wet dream! I don't care if they win something or whatever, I'm just happy with see those legends play again together!

Imagine if Dignitas win major in 2020 it will be EPIC hope im wrong

OMG it would be legendary

2020-01-21 19:07

This b-site business might be just the thing for a team like this. They won't fall down the qualifier rabbit hole since they will have a long season to play and something to consistently look forward to.

B Site will be a league for weak teams that can't qualify/win real events. Playing there they can at least claim they've won something

2020-01-22 10:56

We will see. Only a few teams have been announced. It's gonna be focused on NA so we will probably see Liquid there as they would probably prefer to stay in the States rather than moving to Europe for several months. It will certainly be for the rich orgs. 2kk buy-in is no joke.

2020-01-22 11:26

LOL just farming money and this whole b side thing is so bad won't last long.

LEGENDS!

Actually pretty cool, hope they do well

Why hallzerk wants to play these guys. When they suck, first thing they do is kick him.

At least he get to play in some good tournament

2020-01-21 18:26

gg astralis era

Hype!

f0rest and hallzerk 2v8 lmao

hypeeeeeeeeeeee

-hallzerk +Maikelele

2020-01-21 18:29

would be a biiiiiiiiig downgrade

Yes :D :D Lets go dignitas! :D

LOOOL

2020-01-21 18:30

old washup team xD

xD it was funny bro, keep the good work up!

Fast disband

ahahah what a waste of money

Good. Now it's time for the old VP to come back as well. Let's make CS:GO great again.

Also Na`VI 2010.

2020-01-21 18:32

Why not? I think that would be lit.

2020-01-21 18:34

Let's go boooois!

Lets go! Really cool tbh

top60 at best

Without Forest NIP might just crash and burn. :/

washed up

OMG FIFFLAREN COACH!!! I was thinking it would be really cool if he had some part in this and he got bigger part that I was even hoping for!! GO FIFFLAREN!!!!

FIFFLAREN BACK! <333333333333

Interesting no doubt. No one gives a fuck if they're "washed up" fucking kids.

2012 NiP back

Nostalgic. #digdeep ;-)

worst rebrand ever, 2015 dignitas had the best logo

FIFFY!

2020-01-21 18:35

Good luck Restore the glory of Dignitas

dont say dynasty........

Can somebody plz tell the owners of the Dig org that we are in 2020, not in 2015? It will be fun to watch the core NiP team playing again together..... but......

They're trying to make money getting sponsors and merch sales off of nostalgic fans and betting on the off chance this team is top 30. Old C9 with Shroud and n0thing is proof you don't need to be good to make money off a team.

2020-01-23 07:30

Yh I know.... I thought about that. But I doubt this roster will be successful and if that happens very soon (as it will probably happen) almost nobody will buy any Dig merch and sponsors will leave. It's a very risky business decision. Neway let's see, TBH I wouldn't mind if they end up doing great because I have a lot of respect for the core classic NiP roster. I just don't have a lot of faith in them... :-)

2020-01-23 21:51

Amazing news! So glad pita will not coach. I believe these guys can be a consistent top 10 team but let's see what the year will bring :)

YEEEES SUCH A BANGER

FeelsGoodMan

aight, time to update flair GoD_RiGhT GOAT f0rest GOD Xizt King of Banana annnnnnnnnnd mr.fiffy N1 team

Yes king of banana is back :D

2020-01-21 19:51

EDIT: Nvm, i probably didnt understand.

And when HZ is sick, Fiffy will have to play.

So literally almost whole NiP fan base would shift to Dignitas now i think

Let's facking go mate

2020-01-21 18:41

Yeeees! Thank you Dignitas!!! I came back to CS after few years and there is like no team from 2k15, except Astralis Device-Dupreeh-Xyp trio Cant wait till I see them in action, hopefully they wont end in t2 Is there any info about their inc games? When they will play?

2020-01-21 18:42

Dignitas will beat FAZE ONCE AGAIN IN BO5 WITH juicy 5 odds remember this comment gl

Oh cool, another born dead lineup!

Guaranteed top 40, sadly

Why sadly? Astralis are also top40 (1-40) so Dignitas can be top 2 aswell when you say theyre top 40

Top 40 place is guaranteed for them, any place higher - isn't

2020-01-21 18:48

CS is funny game, you can lose your form and you can grab her back if you work enough. Even sometimes you have days, weeks or even months without form and then, suddenly you have days, weeks or even months when you feel confident and you literally wreck everyone. So there is chance for them. When I was watching CS in 2k13,2k14,2k15 Astralis roster was just good Now they wreck everyone. Everything can happen, thats why competetive and professional CS is awesome. Every t1 team can beat every t1 team sometimes, when they feel strong enough

2020-01-21 18:56

exactly because of that I can't understand why do all old pros either stay in their form like forest, or lose it, like zeus, but never improve if they start playing worse

2020-01-21 19:10

Because they were earning payment for that form :D I think kicking for example GTR from NiP told him that he cant play like this. Imo that kick made him try harder, but we will see how they perform. Probably bad but maybe, maybe...

2020-01-21 20:51

Yea, sadly I haven't seen a single pro that would make a comeback to his better form :(

2020-01-21 21:12

Wow, great squad <3

i hope they do not change their logo as like their twitter account's, otherwise sticker sales could be decreased. their logo is such a cool alien-like logo. hear me CEO.

Fiffy <3

Top30 at best

This team going to get shit on by Tier 3 teams

nice to see them together one more time :) GL guys!

2020-01-21 18:44

It happened <3

DISBAND INCOMIIING BOISSS

HLTV was right once again. I'm really enjoying this news! Its really good to see them together again, doing what they love.. playing with friends! Im looking forward to see them at big events again! I hope they can do it!! PS: f0rest is the CS GOAT!

lmao not gonna even make it to top15

Thats so sick i cant wait to watch them play

Xizt in 2020...

very good team,top 10 at least

2020-01-21 18:46

Nope, other than forest all the other players are washed up so this team will not be top 10

2020-01-21 18:47

wtf ??? yes,they will

imagine singing 30 year old washed up players who have 2-3 years till retirement OMEGALUL

imagine getting billion $ from merch,cuz you have one of the most legendary CS lineup

billions axaxaxa nobody will buy a jersey of get_cry, trashzist, botberg or norwegian who, maybe only f0rest can sell some jerseys but who cares about a dead team lulw

2020-01-21 18:59

Of course not billions, you dumb ass, but c'mon man, they are in top 10 most legendary CS teams ever exist!!! Do you really think no one cares about them? Thousand of people are about to buy their merch already, so as sponsors already on their way to sign contracts with org. It's called buisness. Don't mind their future results, dignitas already made some money from this deal, it's just a matter of time. P.S. Also id checked out.

yes man its going to feel good when this legendary bot team gets smacked by tier 11 teams

2020-01-21 19:09

u r so dumb.... Their results doesn't really matter!!!!!!! #360

2020-01-21 19:11

They'll probably make a decent amount off of sponsorships and a bit off merch sales. Old C9 with Shroud and n0thing is proof you don't need a good team to make money.

2020-01-23 07:33

tier 3 team incoming

wether they do well or not this will be a fun roster

top 15-10

2020-01-21 18:49

OOOOOOOW YEEEAAAH

CHOO CHOO HERE COMES THE HYPE TRAIN

Retirement home hype

Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson (coach) nt boys

LOL Go Ninj... i mean.. GO DIGNITAS

2020-01-21 18:51

justlol

it's another tier3 okay

It really warms your heart to see them all together again but they won't be top 10

Poggies

Wow even fiflaren is here.Really cherring for them.Bur this is actually more of promotion action for dignitas.Just beacouse this team will no last longer than 2 years and wont win too much.Or maybe im wrong and we can see the 87-0 again ♡♡♡

dead on arrival

hahahahaha lul XD

Hell yeah <3

THIS IS SICK!

European Old Guys Club

It all looks good until you realize: GeT_RiGhT is 50 levels below where he used to be and will most likely never unleash his past form. Xizt is a garbage IGL, has been irrelevant for many years now, he ruined fnatic, which were fortunately revived by GODden and Brollan, he only appears in semi-top teams because of NiP 2012-2014. friberg is simply washed-up, nothing impressive has been seen from him for 2 years now. f0rest is surprisingly still a very capable player, the form and the consistently on his part is insane. hallzerk seems good, but is very inexperinced when it comes to playing at the top level. I am very worried he will flop, since the only LAN matches he has played in his career are BYOC qualifiers for CPH Games and Norwegian leagues against Tier 0 opponents. On paper, this is a solid Top 10-15 team in 6 months with an ocean of experience. In reality, they are most likely going to end up on a Heroic/GODSENT level, showing 0 LAN results and occasional top LAN appearances through scrappy online qualifiers.

This play from friberg is impressive though youtu.be/uNKGojVFbXU?t=316

2020-01-21 19:12

I hope they make it to major :D

Hype hype hype, finally its official, ive been waiting for months

NEW ERA GUYS! Good luck for them!

instant top5

2020-01-21 19:03

GL old NiP Bois

Old boys back in town together ! This will be good ! Did somebody know first match ?

2020-01-21 19:04

Will they aim for top team? Nr1? or just to have fun?

Definitely not a top contender but I believe they can still put out some fighting and make games competitives.

2020-01-21 19:13

New era starting now...oh wait, they r max top15 team

nice i can finally watch cs again

take forest plz..

disband incoming

lmao top meme

Dignitas Fan #1 :^D

2020-01-21 19:22

Nice move and please come back old logo

2020-01-21 19:23

Tier2 team. I love f0rest and friberg but this is more of a nostalgia roster than a title contender one.

2020-01-21 19:24

tier3 bc you think this roster can even beat forze? or gamerlegion? i dont think so

2020-01-21 23:54

FIFFY ALWAYS KNOWS BEST

Hahahah 😂😂 It was either this or a RL job, right?? #freemoney Tier2——x—————-Tier3 Their spot. Whatcha think?

What a 💩 logo

2020-01-21 19:27

YESSSSS!!!!!! :D this is so freaking awesome

DIG VS BIG XD

Would be interesting to know what kind of salaries theyre gonna earn as a team thats neither gonna win anything or grow new star players

2020-01-21 19:29

but they are going to sell alot of tshirts and shit

2020-01-21 22:17

Xizt? Fucking Xizt?! He has not played good since 2015, why the fuck would they sign his worthless ass oh wait money....Ofcourse. Dignitas' sales is gonna go through the roof.

2020-01-21 19:30

Lol!! IF you don't understand how good xizts is, just shut up! Xizt is one of the smartest players and I'm pretty sure he'll be more confident with his old gang! I think we should respect the guys and hope they'll do great!

2020-01-21 22:42

Why does xizt look like hes 17yo?

2020-01-21 19:35

The legends are back in town

2020-01-21 19:36

Now that they are free from the toxic organisation NiP they will kick asses again

2020-01-21 19:38

- fake Swede + pashaBiceps

Imagine actually being a fan of this meme team lol some of you really are still stuck in the uncompetitve 2013 nip time

2020-01-21 19:39

Don't expect anything but still so excited to see them play again

2020-01-21 19:40

GOGOGO FOREST

2020-01-21 19:41

Legends never die kids!

Geez get_right??? they think they gonna get anywhere with this trash in their lineup?

2020-01-21 19:45

Statistically, there is no reason why this should work out but I'm still damn excited!

Tier 3 max

this team so bad it goes -1-16 in bo1

2020-01-21 19:58

Will be nice to see them play again but I don't see this lineup accomplish anything.

Awesome!

2020-01-21 19:49

Thanx god

i have an idea about who gets kicked first

2020-01-21 19:52

-Hallzerk +Fifflaren

dont think fiffy wants to play at all anymore

2020-01-24 14:58

yes my mens i love you

2020-01-21 19:53

Hahahahahaha last on all tournaments

2020-01-21 19:54

Doesn't matter at all They're here to play cs not sit at home and comment on hltv

N1P GL <3 <3 <3

2020-01-21 20:00

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

2020-01-21 20:01

I don't expect anything serious from this roster, but it very cool when old friends and tm8 meet together one more time to play with each other!

2020-01-21 20:07

This would be a dangerous team 5 years ago.

2020-01-21 20:09

Top 5 in two weeks!

2020-01-21 20:11

Nice! Definitely one for the future

"Let's go make history again." I guess a 0-87 run would count as making history again.

2020-01-21 20:12

Oh hell yeah! I don't even care if they don't place high often, I just like watching them play.

2020-01-21 20:13

They'll suck

2020-01-21 20:14

Let's go I hope they can play motivated and structured CS and win some tournaments

This rebranding of dignitas, I mean dig, is almost as cringe worthy as the one of north

2020-01-21 20:16

SWEDEN FUCKING STAN LETS GO BABY, LEGENDARY LINEUP IS BACK

2020-01-21 20:17

Wow, so good. Hope they will be invited to the next couple of big tournaments.

2020-01-21 20:19

oficial dignitas fanboy since now

2020-01-21 20:28

JC seriously ? Xitz and Get right? Omg. If Forest, the youngster carry this team and Friberg peform great they won't be at LAN if not invited

Anyone know if they are NA or EU based?

2020-01-21 20:32

2020-01-21 21:20

I know they will not achieve anything but I'm happy as hell

2020-01-21 20:40

Oh this gonna be exciting. Now I have to be a Dig fan as well lmao.

2020-01-21 20:48

I really want this team to work but they will be tier2 at best...

2020-01-21 20:49

2020-01-21 21:34

NIP ARE BACK

2020-01-21 21:35

nice to see this org with promising swedish OG's back still hate to see their new logo

2020-01-21 21:37

KREEEEEIZYYYY

-hallzerk +fifflaren major confirmed

This team literally exists to sell jerseys there is no way they are winning tournaments

I'm still happy for them, one last ride man, they earned It even if they are not going to achieve anything

2020-01-21 21:49

Great News!!

2020-01-21 21:41

top15 team for sure.

Why all The hate and keyboard wariors take time to write. This gona be fun to se what happens

2020-01-21 21:55

ahhahahahahahahahahaha top 10 team ez

2020-01-21 21:57

That's sexy

2020-01-21 22:00

Im happy for them. Even if shit doesnt go well, they will be making some money of their names.

This lineup has definitely something to show. Please surprise me.

2020-01-21 22:20

fuck yeah

2020-01-21 22:22

Besides all n00b haters say or swedish trash talkers, this team is good on paper. f0rest still fragged in NiP, friberg did well in recent heroic, hallzerk one of the best in Nordavind, tho i see the pickup a little weird with 4 swedish and 1 norwegian, gtr was little bit inconsistent to bad before he got removed, xizt inconsistent in both swedish power horses. we will wait and see but imo they can win some dreamhacks and past group stages or quarters in some t1 tournies. gl hf legends.

2020-01-21 22:27

s0mple is a meme, isn't it?

2020-01-21 22:31

whats the meaning of s0mple? jame has a living meme ingame everytime some1 saves an awp. donno if ppl spam memes about s1mple in all matches. literally noone.

2020-01-21 22:34

I dont expect major trophies but I will welcome them. Now I have reason to buy a new jersey different from the NiP ones.

a team that has f0rest can conquer everything, GL!!!

2020-01-21 22:37

finally i can fallow a team ! GO DIGNITAS

tier 10000 max

2020-01-21 22:45

nt tier 10001 scene

2020-01-22 12:54

Awesome. I know they can come back

2020-01-21 22:49

congrats on the retirement home

2020-01-21 22:50

Finally a team I can cheer for. Yeah.

2020-01-21 22:56

Let's go.

2020-01-21 22:59

hallzerk and f0rest have to carry harder than before

2020-01-21 23:02

pretty cool, but let's be honest, they have no chance of breaking top 5 with that squad

2020-01-21 23:15

dont think they care too much tbh

2020-01-21 23:34

Disband in a half a year

2020-01-21 23:26

I mean, it was rumored a couple of times, but I still cant believe it. Nothing In PayPal sucked but I cant imagine forest out of it, he was the only thing keeping them relevant. Good hype machine but a retirement house as well

2020-01-21 23:45

ez major.....ez forest top1 ez mvp of hall planet ....lets go boyzzzzz

2020-01-21 23:48

awful logo

great names, but they're all dead players, gl tho

2020-01-21 23:55

PLS Dignitas use old logo new one is garbage

2020-01-22 00:05

they are maybe not good as before but chemistry can do wonders ,they played good together, we will see!

GL and HF bros, legends

2020-01-22 00:10

No wonder they dropped the ptr roster. They could never shake hands properly.

2020-01-22 11:40

Another mibr in the making

2020-01-22 00:58

Old logo please

2020-01-22 01:09

LESGOOOOO

2020-01-22 01:59

good luck legend, lets fucking go go go

2020-01-22 02:08

Watch them if they win a tournament. They will not be able to not hold their tears because so much memories and feelings they have and had in Counter Strike

2020-01-22 02:18

Let's frickin go!!!!!

2020-01-22 02:31

2020 will be a biiiig year for this veterans

2020-01-22 03:17

2020-01-22 03:21

tier 3 at best, wont win any events and will more than likely have 2-3 players under a 1.00 rating the entirety they are together. -1

2020-01-22 04:42

When will they debut???

2020-01-22 04:48

okay i will support dig instead of inp

2020-01-22 05:32

I'll support both but yeah more towards dig

2020-01-22 05:47

When they playing?

2020-01-22 05:46

tier 10

2020-01-22 06:09

I tought gtr retired..

2020-01-22 07:00

He never mentioned retirement. Why would u think that?

2020-01-22 07:01

Why does this gives me goosebumps?

2020-01-22 07:11

So hallzerk is the new guy in the revolving door that is NIPs 5th roster spot. Should be interesting to see how long that lasts. RIP *dennis *allu *Maikelele *draken *pyth

2020-01-22 07:53

In what way does dennis fit in there? Was he their fifth placed with the core four like your comment is based on? Btw very original comment.. Up next you will complain about xizt vetos.

2020-01-22 11:27

ok, so he replaced Xizt. But the point still stands NIP has a history of rotating players whilst not changing the core at all. I don't care if my comment was original, it's just the truth. Since this team is purely for publicity they will never change the old school players, but keep swapping out new guy which is a very NIP thing to do.

2020-01-22 18:10

I never blamed them for wanting to play with people they enyoyed playing with. Didnt se a problem with it Before either, i mean they claimed titles every year 2012-2016 with the four man core. In 2017 when they didnt win tournaments anymore they split the core, and won again. Honestly was it really a problem how they stuck together? I dont think so. And this new team is for themselves as well as for the fans. Im real happy about this, cannot wait to se my 4 favorite players play together again. The only real negative about this is yes maybe forest deserve a better team but hell im in and i hope you are too.

2020-01-22 19:03

Looking at it competitively they should have made roster changes much earlier. NIP and fnatic waited too long to pick up new young players which in turn stifled the Swedish scene. But it will be fun to watch the band back together again. I loved 2013 NIP and hope they have fun as a team. I was just pointing out that their new 5th might not last long, and I guess we'll see.

2020-01-22 20:12

Yes in terms of growing the scene with new upcoming players both nip and fnatic wasnt much help. Is was basically all up to godsent to do so. But all that is in the past, swedish players now have several teams to potentially get picked up by. Slutet gott allting gott as we say in sweden.

2020-01-22 21:10

i dont think that they will achieve anything but im glad that i can see the pack playing again together

2020-01-22 10:08

Yeah, I don't think that they will do much either. Devilwalk even said on the 'HLTV confirmed' podcast that he didn't think they would even make Top 15 but that they were just a team for marketing. youtu.be/0ENHnqzbQtY?t=8515

2020-01-22 10:29

This makes my heart happy

2020-01-22 10:46

I thought i didnt want this because i thought forest were better off in nip (and that might be true) but, watching some dignitas videos seeing the guys back together again put the biggest smile on my face. And now i find myself being hyped afor cs again, its been a while.. These are my 4 favorite players of csgo, and 1 player ive been watching for over 10 years. Cannot wait to se them play again, counting the days until their first lan, and if that be a DH open then thats okay! GL to you all! Legends of the game back to give us another show. Nip magic is in the air.

2020-01-22 12:11

heck yeah. sad to see the major 5 all move on from NiP (though it's nice to bring up new / younger talent) but i'm looking forward to the reunion.

2020-01-22 12:38

LMAO lets see how they ruin their legend status in a couple of months and all retire permanently at the same time trying to salvage whats left. Bookmark this and come back before summer.

more like old dynasty

Nice try but these guys are all worned out already...They wont get any significant result imho

2020-01-22 16:00

2020-01-22 16:04

This is a historic moment, someday I will come back here and see if I comment anything and find this comment. Hello future me

2020-01-22 17:09

2019 - OGC (C9 Old roster Core) 2020 - Dignitas (NiP Major winner Core) 2021 - whos next ?

2020-01-22 17:22

Why waste money on garbage

2020-01-22 17:36

Awesome news!

2020-01-22 17:53

good luck

2020-01-22 18:01

I think even back in 2013-2014 it wasn't the individual performances that made them dominating the CS:GO scene, but rather the chemistry between the players. So with this lineup they can bring back some of the lost NiP magic.

2020-01-22 19:41

most washed up roster possible but if it makes fangays wet... Btw people that believe even just a bit that this roster could make anything good are mentally challenged, just to say

2020-01-22 20:54

very good news omg <3 old nip

2020-01-23 06:04
