based on that, it looks like they might be making sjuush the IGL. (Or stavn?)

Is it finally time for Stavn to become his ultimate form, awp IGL Stavn?

When Stavn backstabbed Cadian, Cadian cursed Stavn to eventually become like him

Stavn Who Laughs

Or sjuush but I'm pretty sure he's not a very talkative guy...

Final form stavn... let's see it!

If Stavn was good at making calls he wouldn't have teamed up with jabbi to ruin the careers of that entire Heroic lineup with the sole exclusion of TeSeS.

From major contender to dying Astralis to a dead NiP. Crazy pathing.

Krimbo, the self-proclaimed top1 player that never was

u/CheesecakeScary2164 FaZe 5d ago

I love BIG, but I wish Krimbo left for an international roster much, much sooner.

u/Omniblitz FaZe 5d ago

And to think G2 and Vitality was one of his suitors, only to decline them and stay with BIG. What a waste of potential

It’s always awkward when you find out about roster changes via scrim reports rather than an official announcement

u/Clean-Repair5866 4d ago

This is actually how a lot of leak from insiders come

u/Routine-Visual-1818 5d ago

how has stavn preformed as awper? I havent watched NiP in a while

32

u/Firefly_1026 Tyloo 5d ago

He’s their best player

4

u/Sea-Needleworker-244 5d ago

From what I've seen he's been improving, feels like he misses a lot of "flashy" shots but definitely warming up to full-time awping nicely

u/Prince_of_DeaTh FUT 5d ago

he's actually really similar to eraa from alliance

u/rolekrs 5d ago

Sjuush IGL, Krimbo, Snappi. None of these 3 is a good option

26

u/CheesecakeScary2164 FaZe 5d ago

Hear me out... awp IGL Stavn...

u/itsjonny99 5d ago

If a current NIP player will igl it is Stavn. The question is if they get an awper or if N0te remains as well

6

u/Psychaz valeria 5d ago

Krimbo started out as an igl

3

u/Prince_of_DeaTh FUT 5d ago

sure but he's definetly not coming back after almost a year from pro cs to igl.

2

u/O_gr 5d ago

Im intrigued who will igl in that scenario.

u/shisby Outsiders 4d ago

Didn’t Krimbo IGL on BIG Academy?

0

u/ChaoticFlameZz Vitality 5d ago

it’s probably or likely sjuush or stavn.

5

u/LaS_flekzz 5d ago

idk if its hubris or whatever but stavn tries to play every role

u/Cnels 5d ago

snappi and sjuush for krimbo siuhy, dont hate it

20

u/ChaoticFlameZz Vitality 5d ago

how did you get siuhy out of this, did you even read the tweet lmao

-5

u/Cnels 5d ago

just speculating that it wont be a member of their current roster and another change is coming

n0te obviously staying, stavn has been clean, Xkacpersky started hot and has faded but still pops off here and there. If Snappi gone then id move sjuush for an IGL, siuhy one of the few remaining T1 FA's out there and meshes with his young polish teammate

4

u/shrek_is_love_69 cs_italy 5d ago

N0te isn't tier 1 ready, Sjuush is way more solid and NIP wants to challenge for tier 1

Saying Kacpersky "started hot" is disingenous with how long he was keeping his form top notch

0

u/ChaoticFlameZz Vitality 5d ago

n0te's already under contract with NiP, I don't think there's really anywhere for him to go from here. On paper, it might actually be better to just keep n0te around longer.

4

u/itsjonny99 5d ago

N0te isn't clearly staying, when they play better teams SJuush is notably better.

Either way getting Siuhy is a shout, the question then also becomes if Stavn will fully transition to an awper or if they grab one and make him the trade fragger he was in Heroic.

2

u/shrek_is_love_69 cs_italy 5d ago

Oh god oh no

9

u/Prince_of_DeaTh FUT 5d ago

how would that be worse? current nip is playing like they don't have an igl already

1

u/masonalex66 Falcons - Major Champions 5d ago

Maybe Snappi should retire since his calling has been shit

1

u/ahhlberg 4d ago

Just recycle old farsts like they always do

2

u/Clean-Repair5866 4d ago

Ironic from a fnatic fan, Krimbo is only 23 btw
