Why y'all hating on NiKo so much ? Even saw some plastic Faze fans trash talking about him.
I guess he probably is leaving Faze for G2 , wished not but even if he does we should respect him for whatever he has done for the org.
I feel the main problem is him being the IGL and he even said that he doesn't like to IGL and we all have seen him not being at full potential while IGLing, being one of the best players in the game he wasted 2 years of his prime trying to fix the IGL problems, getting out of his comfort zone yet he's getting so much hate. And some kids calling him "snake" with absolutely no idea of what snake means, wth?
He even mentored broky , bymas who will turn out to be stars in the future.
Had the Faze org got any good IGL this team would be an ez top3 contender with the likes of NiKo, coldzera, rain ,broky.
Anyways, GL for the future , hope we see the best of him now in G2.
?Because they never get a good aim like NiKo

NEO and Adren. Players who far beyond their pro career. Aha. Sounds not like fixing. Sound like idiotism.

I think its not only about "cousins wanna play" but you should understand what firepower NiKo brings to the team.
I'm sure G2 would have figured out something about amanek's role.
With the amount of entry work Jackz is doing and the chemistry he would have with Hunter who would prob be 2nd entry it makes a lot more sense to do that swap imo
Amanek is really good and I feel contributes a lot to the game that we don't see, but he's definitely not an awper (which niko could take over) and does a lot of the bitch work (which as an IGL you don't want to waste niko on)

?he isn't a snake tho, this has been around for a while and faze is informed if they weren't they wouldn't have called alrdy olof to step in, a good example of a snake is snakebye who left astralis for north without telling to the org or his mates, coach

Kjaerbye had no contract. You can't snake if you don't sign anything.

See, that's the thing, they pull off a trophy performing really well and next tournament they become their previous selves. A star-studded team like Faze should be capable of a top contender of tournaments, but they are being inconsistent. We are not able to witness the 2017-18 Faze, that's the t.hing. This team won't be consistent until they get an IGL cuz you can't ask your star player to lead , it takes extra pressure and responsibility, and that's why we saw Niko not up to his potential.

I am a big Faze fan and I also like NiKo, but I think this team Will be better off without him, and NiKo will also be better in G2. When FaZe get proper igl just watch G2 and Faze be top teams in couple of months.
1 reply
Sure. Hope for the best for both.
They could take Aleksib, but NiKo said "no, i asked some people and i think that he'll not fit our team" in his interview. As if he understands something about this LUL
In his latest interview he said that karrigan was overrated in last time in FaZe. While GuardiaN and rain said that it was their biggest mistake.
It's literally a fact that FaZe didn't get good IGL before because NiKo for some fucking reason thought that he's a good at it.
3 replies
See , the Aleksib thing was discussed between team and his strats didn't suit the team playstyle even rain said it, so it was a team decision. And, about karrigan I think its his personal opinion about karrigan so let it be that way. People have different opinions all day long we can't do anything about that.
The thing is that he alone didn't kicked him, it was a team decision.
2 replies
And the 2 of 4 members of this team now saying that it was the worst decision.
While NiKo literally is still saying that it was right (although FaZe is in trashcan for two years).
1 reply
Maybe because they never found a better replacement for karrigan and that's why they suffered.
?Why should someone respect a person that call himself underrated, karrigan overrated and deliver only shit for years. After sneaking and Backstabbing two legendary IGL GobB and Karrigan?
He made Olof leave, he made ChrisJ benching himself. He baits coldzera.
He still believes he is a good IGL. What a delusional person
You can't respect his approach to the game.
You can't respect him as a person
and most likely you can't respect his work ethic.
Something that gives S1mple a lot of respect even if you hate him as a person. You can always respect that he works very hard to be such a good player.

He never made olof leave, he gave coldzera a new home. He was trying well to lead the team.

New home lmao that is why colds mother said Niko is shit.
What fix?? Niko destroyed faze. Watch Guardians interview he almost cries when he talks about Karrigan kick.
What you call selfless is the opposite. Does everything for himself.
S1mple at least does the best for his team when he plays good.

If he was doing all for himself , he hadn't wasted his prime time fixing the team. He could've left already but he tried a lot. Just stop hating for no reason.

He tried alot but while trying all those things only broke the team more and more. Sometimes it's best to stop trying to fix what is already broken and move on. He never moved on and just kept trying to fix something that could only break further in his hands.
?And that's the main problem - his ego. He truly believes he is best coach, IGL and player at the same time. In other words that team can never work with person like this. He just needs to shut the fuck up, listen to his coach and IGL (if the team is smart enough to get some but why would the even try when they know already what's gonna happen with Toxico) and do the job he's been payed to do - pop heads and work FOR THE TEAM FFS!!!

?You guys inflated his ego.
Think about his time under karrigan.Cuz other than karrigan NiKo was the one getting the most blame for the losses.
Since he is a star player people always expected way to much.
So in the end bcs of that , he kept thinking he was the one who needed to fix everything and in the end fucked things up even more.

Agree but i dislike niko for being such a jerk in front of coldzera. He really wanted to play with cold so much that faze owners listen to him and bought him however he now just leaves the team after not even 1 year because he just want to play with his cousin?
If i was cold i wouldnt like that.
5 replies
cold was never dragged, it's a mutual decision, he was already uncomfortable with mibr's scene and was even benched afterwards then Faze too needed a 5th, and Niko as a good friend offered him to join, faze's co-owner too has a brazilian connection with cold, they even won their first series at Blast. They tried a lot but it didn't work, we even saw cold's performance degrading.
Niko isn't going just cuz he wanna play with huNter, its for the better of faze so that they can find an IGL to replace him and other players don't suffer.
2 replies
well im happy that he left now , both cold and olof suffered a degrade in performance because this team was always supposed to be build around niko. Now that he left for G2 maybe cold and olof can go back to their old forms and put some insane numbers again , specially cold
1 reply
The team was always built around NiKo, that was nothing new, but sometimes individuals too have to take responsibility and not always blame on NiKo. Its not 1v5 and I'm sure players with coldzera adn olof's potential should not blame Niko for their degrade.
P.S.- I too wish they come back to their prime forms.
I totally agree, he wanted to play with cold, FaZe didn't get an IGL and bought coldzera for 1 million dollars, NiKo is saying "cold is one of the best players i have ever played and i like him so much!", coldzera is saying "NiKo is one of the best players i have ever played and i like him do much!"
1 year later, NiKo leaves FaZe. I feel bad for coldzera. But the good thing is, FaZe can finally bring up a good IGL and can be a good team! They will also play with less stress.
Why you are even trying....Haters will hate regardless. No one knows what is happening behind the curtains but everyone thinks they know everything.
Niko deserves criticism but not hate and HLTV threads you cannot ask someone to be reasonable.

funny the relevant achievments seemed to stop when Karrigan got removed, but you pretend like niko has carried them to all their stuff lmfao
You fanboys are literally just as dumb as the haters, you just assume the most positive stuff about your favorite player instead of the negative:
"He even mentored broky , bymas who will turn out to be stars in the future."
Show me any proof that he is "mentoring" broky lmfao, also kicking Bymas after one tournament, and you're gonna act like niko has any involvment in his further progression as a player?

without niko broky would still probably be some fpl player, but niko gave him a chance and it worked out.
same with bymas only it didnt work out, but he still gave the kid a chance to prove himself to other teams and where is bymas now? he is in mousesport another top tier team.

"but niko gave him a chance and it worked out."

i said that because its the truth.
prntscr.com/v7z8w5
he got noticed by niko and faze needed a 5th because olof wanted to take a break. so niko noticed how good bymas played on fpl so he said it to the rest of faze and they picked him up for trial. while faze was looking for a new 5th if it didnt work out.

AZR is free but guess what , he signs for someone else , he surely would have picked FaZe over this no name russian org had he gotten an offer.
Him kicking karrigan is still a debate , allu told NiKo not to pick up aleksi and alex was aproached by FaZe but picked c9 instead , it was hiss decission to do so.
