MAXSTER PROMOTED TO NIP MAIN SQUAD
When we announced Xizt's return to NIP two weeks ago, we said we're going to let the management team cook. Since then they've been in touch with more than 40 candidates, driving tons of engagement for all the leaker accounts out there. You're welcome. Today, we're pleased to introduce the next piece of the puzzle.
Max "maxster" Jansson — one of our absolute favorite people — is making the transition to the main squad, marking a significant milestone in his journey with NIP. From his beginnings as a Young Ninja in 2022, Maxster has grown into a standout player, earning his place in the team's core through hard work and dedication. Breaking the news to Max made for one of the most genuinely happy moments thus far in 2024, and we love that we get to share that moment with all of you.
"Max embodies the spirit of hard work and determination that defines NIP. His dedication to practice and remarkable stats make him an invaluable addition to the main squad. We're excited to see him thrive in this new chapter of his career."
— Björn “THREAT” Pers, Counter-Strike Division General Manager.
The Young Ninjas continue to be a breeding ground for exceptional talent. This promotion is a testament to the talent pool we have cultivated, and how seamlessly a player can be integrated into the main roster. We're currently interviewing candidates for his replacement and expect to make a final decision soon.
"Happy to have maxster on board! He has shown great work ethic during his time in YN, and together with his skill set, it was an obvious choice for us to bring him onto the main team. He is an active rifler that will fit perfectly into the team composition."
— Richard “Xizt” Landström, Head Coach NIP CS.
That means there's two more announcements on the horizon — stay tuned, and go give Richard, Björn, Erik and Troels a follow if you want some more meat on those leak bones.
