The Making of NiKo: My FaZe Clan REGRETS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2022
- The Making of NiKo w/ BLAST Premier. NiKo is one of the best CSGO players in the world, and is also regarded as the best player never to win a CS Major. NiKo once played for Mousesports, and after leaving Mouz he joined FaZe Clan where he had a heart-breaking time at the Boston Major. Now he is the star player for G2 Esports CSGO.
In this CSGO NiKo documentary, the rifler talks about his regrets from FaZe, why NiKo hasn't won a Major, playing with his cousin huNter- and how he thinks he stacks up against the best Counter-Strike players of all time such as s1mple and ZywOo.

Will NiKo ever win a major?
Tell us what you think! 👇🏻
no
no
Not without an igl he wont
Yes he will but it will take time when monesy becomes a more exp player
Yes
nothing but respect for niko even though he hasnt won a major yet, his time will come eventually. (coming from faze fan)
You respect a snake that destroys teams from within? A gigantic ego, drug abuse, partying. Do your research before you put somebody on a pedestal.
@@rh.m6660 probably started being a Faze fan after the major:D
@@emilseppala6899 wrong :D i became a faze fan after the boston major, i started csgo in 2018
@@rh.m6660 drug abuse? Do you know him? He can part of he wants doesn’t mean he isn’t a top 5 rifler in csgo history
NiKo is that guy still performing, carrying his team even if they're losing.
Niko stay strong. focus and let yourself go. you will make it
he needs to stop focusing on himself, thats why his team never wins bc he cares about himself more than his team.
nah he's too washed
Idiot he is done… retire
Doubt it.....
He’s already made it. He gets paid insane amounts of money and he lives life to the fullest. He’s also a 4 year old emotionally. Niko will never be on a major winning team and that’s a fact. He’s spoiled, he thinks he knows how a team should work because he knows how to click mouse and dodge flash. Every single team he’s on falls apart outside the server without exception. He’s toxic, he’s cancer, he’s goated, he’s Niko. Nuff said.
I think many haters just do not realise how good this guy really is. The Stocholm preformances out of NiKo and entire 2nd part of 2021 was just unreal. Something we have never seen before, and something we will most likley never see ever again. The best rifler preformances in history, out of the all time greatest player who never touched the AWP. People are saying how NiKo is out of form, expecting him to repeat his Stocholm preformances. Well guys that is impossible, those preformances, those plays, are just impossible to replicate. NiKo is "underpreforming" this season but yet he is 2nd best rated player with 1.20 average rating, after S1mple's unreal 1.30 ratibg, ye even above Zywoo who has like 1.19 or so ... So if beeing 2nd highest rated preformer in 2022 is underprefoming for many, that is just how good he truley is. I am glad he changed mentalitt as well, and is not chacing that major, not tilting about not having one, glad he is aware his time will come sooner or later, and when he really deserves it, he'll get it. Other thing they blame him for kikcing Aleksi, while the fact is Aleksi was just ass player for that lvl. He was just not good enoug caller nor player for that high lvl, I am sure NiKo has nothing to do with that, Aleksi was kicked for a very realistic reasons(it was needed and deserved), and it was not NiKo's fault I am so sertian of it. So stop hateing this guy, he didn't deserve it. Fuck off already. Full support for NiKo ...
thats my man full support for NiKo bro
Are you his mom? lmao
@@furytheredhead9682 Speaking facts tho. Niko's Stockholm major stretch is the greatest level of CS ever played in terms of impact
@@furytheredhead9682 troll more kid, sad that this gives you happiness
@@xlpha888 How am I trolling? I'm just in tears having read a defense essay for Niko's career. I'm sure Niko appreciates hearing none of his failures (to which he had most certainly contributed) were his own fault. Hence my mom joke. Take it easy, hoss.
I felt so bad after that deagle. No one deserves it more than him and guardian. His time will definitely come. Him monesy and hunter will find 2 more good players and they will blend and possibly become a dynasty
This aged very well sir
@@jarenpachl8429 maybe not:( so sad fuck
4:15 that sigh xD
There's such a big contrast between karrigan and niko mentality in the way they approach failures.
Karrigan straight up said that the Boston major was so bullshit he didn't even bother watching it, theres nothing to learn there. He view failures as a process leading to success, he can let it all go and start fresh, and he did it many times with different rosters. It shows in the way faze shrugging off weird round losses then proceed to beat the shit out of other teams.
Meanwhile niko is still haunted by that major and all the things he may or may not did wrong leading to all his losses. Being haunted over and over again by mistakes cant be healthy, its a miracle he can still ranked 3rd in the world with a mindset like that. Dude really need to chill out a bit instead of pushing himself to the brink of collapse in important matches.
I rly hope he wins a major
no, his ego will always bring him down
he will dont worry
@@jethrobarruga5001 what a hater, it's not really about "ego", it's about adapting to the pressure, he often crumbles in those kind of scenarios
His prime is almost coming to an end. And the future of G2 probably looks grimmer than ever with almost no IGLs available.
@@jethrobarruga5001 yes we know the biggest ego player. Had thrown his medal when they were 2nd place :)
Great video. Heartwarming to see the humanity in Niko. No wonder so many love him and follow him.
he's literally the james harden of CSGO, if the game doesnt revolve around him he'll force it his own way
thats why he didnt win a major yet, though i hope one day he will
Nice comparison 😂
The same James Harden that shoots 30% in playoff games? Great comparison
@@RP-bf3st Prime James Harden, not old James Harden
lol niko is way better than james harden harden a pure bum
@@artourbabeev688 Yeah when it comes to CS.
Twitszz mentioned, NiKo performance has dropped, this was probably due to him giving much of his own space for m0NESY. If g2 want to win a major with current core roster, they need more time. And change how they approach the game. Also find a good analysts to help improve team performance and how to counter-strats opponents.
its because twistzz sacrificed so much also. faze has that triple threat with broky ropz and twistzz, so twistzz accepted the flex rifler. he can do from entry to support. niko needs to do the same. he has talent and aim i will never say hes bad at those. but his ego and he likes to do things his way thats why.. i dont hate nik0 as a person. but as a player. he puts monesy in bad situations and it throws away rounds for g2 because the burden monesy carrying if niko dies
sometimes by ego peeking. just for example the infamous twistzz 4k at mirage b site. 4v2 and they werent supposed to win but nik0 ego peeked and died.
Finally someone noticed this.. monesy took so much of the carrying away from n1ko and the strat of aleksib is different from nexa.. n1ko is n1ko.. this team got 2 new players and 1 awper that is inexperienced on LAN tournaments
@@Edward-oj1gk G2 doing just fine even with all those changes. Remember Kato, they just destroyed Na'Vi and faze got lucky in the final. They can play good, and they will just need to delete faze a few time to build the confidence, by the fire power G2 is superior than faze or navi for sure
@@RmPrtv do you really think in your self that they beat the real navi on kato? haha
@@RmPrtv "faze got lucky" hahahaha u silver go play minecraft.
Niko is the best rifler that have ever exist and no one cant change that fact, no matter how many finals he loses.
Goat rifler. Niko's Stockholm performance is the highest level of CS ever played
maybe not as rating, but even the analysts said it was the most ''impactful'' performance ever.
@@haco31415 Absolutely. Highest impact ever.
Niko is my favorite cs player ever I love how he plays it’s so interesting and fun to watch whatever team he’s on is my favorite team😂
6:43 Foreshadowing to really "fuck shit up" on G2 LOL
Hopefully this yr NiKo 🫡
NiKo’s answer at 9:33 is actually very indicative of his problem. He believes that people stopped talking shit about s1mple because he cemented himself as possibly the GOAT/won a major. And while that may be true, s1mple also changed a lot, with the help of people like b1ad3 and time itself as he grew, but he also genuinely learned to be a team-centered, more calm, understanding, and mature person along the way. Which ultimately led to the change in public perception of s1mple along with his accolades. As for dev1ce, what he did deserved the criticism and shift in perception of his person. I think what his answer shows is a clear lack of understanding of what issues and challenges he is facing as a player and ultimately the de facto leader(leader doesn’t necessitate being the igl, look at Navi) of his team.
Frankly I really hope NiKo overcomes his problems because it would truly be a crime if he doesn’t have a major title under his belt when it’s all said and done. He’s an extremely talented guy, who seems to be a genuine person. I wish nothing but the absolute best for him in his future, but he will end up with what he deserves. What he *deserves* is up to him prove.
Great video DEXERTO, it seems NiKo is often hesitant to talk about these experiences so thanks for letting us hear what he had to say
@@theonlyrico9799 First off, s1mple is the goat IMO and one of my favorite players, whereas NiKo is one of my least favorite players literally for the reasons I described. Second, I said *he* compared people shit talking him to people shit talking s1mple and he wasn’t understanding the differences in perception and why it was different. He was saying they were the same and this comment is literally pointing out how they’re different.
Have a good day friend!
I agree. S1mple went from the cocky little kid to a grown man. He was known to be toxic in his past teams, he look like a leader now. That growth is was made people embrace him.
S1mple was a threat to everyone since like 2018 he was destroying everyone on his own , he was hated for his toxicity not his career achievements
I agree, what he said was quite misleading. He said that as if s1mple was being talked shit for not winning the major but the majority of the criticism came from his toxic behavior in the past. The CS community has already agreed upon the fact that he is the goat. The present s1mple is totally a splitting image from his past self and you can see how much he has grown as a player. If you tell someone who is new to the CS scene that s1mple was once one of the most toxic players, they'd be in awe. NiKo on the contrary, despite being one of the best players to ever touch the game, still goes into full tilt mode. Just look at the Katowice final against FaZe. He needs to calm his horses and starts being a leader.
@@Troublesome87 yeah, I agree ... he's still pretty toxic ... there were quiate a few moments in the arena lately when I saw him bash Boombl4 ... People say Niko is toxic .. but it's exactly the opposite .. Niko is just over reacting (like Apex does) because he's very emotional and never does it against his team mates ... while S1mple is the toxic guy, not as much as before but still pretty toxic with his team mates in different situations .. So Niko is pretty much right ... nobody see's S1mple as a toxic guy anymore because he had great results...
we are with your niko till last breath and inshallah u will win a major very soon
Great vid,
Talking about plain rifling skills, nobody comes close to peak N1ko
GOAT Rifler ❤
Miss him on FaZe. Hope he finds success coming from a FaZe fan
6:28 Nuke heaven PTSD
Can't wait to see the new roster!Maybe his time to win a tourney has come.
G2 will have a new roster?
Yes the new roster that will last 2 months before niko throws his tantrum again and get the new igl kicked.
@@sereyyy6664 -aleksi -jackz
@@Nerdywr you serious ? So you think the aleksib roster did well and should have been kept ? Was a huge mistake to replace Nexa ... and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Niko who did that ... stop blaiming him for everything lol .. Jackz could prove to be a mistake unless Amanek returns ... but AleksiB is not compatible with this team .. even though he's a good IGL . Gla1ve might be a good idea ...
@@convertlead8661 Nexa didn't want to be IGL in G2, but he has no problem being IGL in OG. Are you telling me that his teammates are not the problem?
Niko just needs a break and find his motivation to be a good player, all the stuff he has been through is exhausting
NiKo needs an IGL who can use him to full potential and unlock those great crisp taps and crazy sprays.
That's my boy win or lose, with or without major.
GOAT rifler
"theres plenty of time to win a major" hasnt aged well
I can safely say now that the major is over that talent is not the only thing you need to win a major .
yeah. need good social skills too and not be toxic and blame teammates and kick this kick that.
Will always love NiKo's FaZe era
I mean how on earth can a person would hate Niko and S1mple? They play this game much better than any haters. Both are great dudes.
Yes, its inevitable imo!
I dont think there is no need for a player to win a magor (i mean that the importance of this specific event is unnecessarily high).
Players can become a legends without that one title and the main thing is that they are happy with themselves.
Even if players like Niko dont win a single major, that doesnt mean they wont be remembered as the best that ever touched the game.
Win or lose bro. Your time will come. Keep it up!
It seems that hurdle of expecting to win a major as opposed to expecting yourself to perform has stopped many great players
The Irony is that...the one's mocking him right now will be the first one's to congratulate him after winning the major.....xd
He won’t though what allows him to perform well is detrimental to the team
The ones
Mocking him right now are no lifers from hltv
Literally anyone else just appreciates one of the best cs players
Talent alone won't take you to greater heights. NiKo might be one of the most skilled players ever, but his mentality will drag him down.
bruh you act like you know him personally XD
@@limeandlimpidgreen2530 Bruh you act like there isn't plenty of interviews with Niko that anyone can watch or how about all the times he rages when he plays.... Ever heard of empathic accuracy?
@@satisfaction__ shut up nerd. All of Nikos teammates like playing with him and people like rain said he was the hardest worker he's played with.
he's just not s1mple
@@darudesandstorm072
s0mple? KEKW, s0mple, just has an incredible work ethic. He is not really a talented player
feels like therapy for niko
I think someting is missing here niko was not in mousesports main lineup tho , he was substitute/benched bcs i think mousesports doesnt trust him yet that time and then faze ask niko to be stand-in , in tournaments gaming paradise I believe and niko play out of his mind insanely good and then suddenly mousesports want niko to join on main roster . And yeah after that niko basically carried mouz all the time
what? that mouz team was "jokingly" called nikosports. he was the team and when he was benched, mouz never recovered. I think niko was sick of the team and wanted to move on hence the period of him being benched.
He was brought in to replace nooky, but ended up replacing Spiidi who left for a couple of months. The plan as I remember was always to get him into active roster
Paris Major I hope 2 see u win
He will win the Major, It's only a matter of time.
Coping mechanism?
Lmao no he wont
@@vicentefigueiredo4895 Will come back to this eventually

RIFLE GOAT REAL GOAT
no lol not even close
@@TopOnTops Dude. You can call for sure Niko a Goat when it comes to the rifle. His raw aim is brutal
GOAT
it's really funny watching people bash niko's mentality as if they have a fucking clue what goes on behind the scenes. he's the GOAT rifler and and anyone saying they wouldnt want him on their team is a casual
Love how those no live noobs comments on what’s the problem with niko and team, at same time cant get higher than mg3 but still thinks they are absolutel masterminds of this game
exactly. it's almost like playing on the highest level of CS is fucking hard
Hero's are remembered.. Legends never die
NIKO GOAT
Faze up
09:53 yeah bro that is your Nick name fans give it to you, like we give s1mple s0mple, ZywOo zywho? And stuff like this
People in the comments saying niko will never win the major? How do you guys know? Simple lost 2 major finals before winning his first major, Karrigan won his 1st major at 32, People say niko is a choker but Simple has lost 3 out of 4 major finals he has played , by that logic Simple is the actual choker. Niko will win his major, It's only a matter of time, Just like it was for Simple before Stockholm.
In my opinion he is most skillful player of cs go history... he is only rifler competing with awpers like S1mple, zywoo, dev1ce... even I am awper myself but I accept playing awp is easier than rifle.... he is using his AK like awp... his crazy taps are incredible... but His mental weakness works against him and his team always... I hope he will get Paris Major... he deserves.
God I hope he and zywoo both win a major.
And say what you want about who he is, but you can’t deny his skill at the game
@@thchiefe His skill has never been the issue. I haven't seen a legit argument for that being the case, only troll ones saying "bUt hE cHoKed iN alL FinAls"
@@thchiefe
ZyWOW will win it, it's jsut a matter of tym

Agreed, Skillwise, NiKo is a one in a million.
1/2 achieved
I think he’s the most talented aimer or top 3 that has played cs
Dextro Energy
the fight is between NiKo and himself
he's a very good player but he loses his edge if he rages
he loses his focus
im sure his time will come alongside his cousin huNter
and i like the fact people call him being egotistical like bruh this is the same guy who carried the main mouz roster before shifting to FaZe
Karrigan won his first major at 32 while Niko is 25
s1mple lost more majors before winning his first major
NiKo's time will come and the guys who called him "NiKo was the problem"
are the same guys who would even greet him winning his first major
goat
Hi Niko, when major?
Nikos problem is 100% has the same problem that the old Navi had they both have to stop thinking & playing like this is a solo game once Navi + simple learned you have to play as a team too Win thats when things MIGHT change. Imo and yes idk him at all but from watching him for so long I can 👀 he's not fully playing as a Team. As far as winning goes idk maybe try to change up your thinking tactics and evolve with your team instead of always thinking you're better & higher up then they are. Besides raw mechanics & aim your nothing without Team play. And yes something else is wrong it couldn't have been all the igl's faults that he played with no way I like niko but imo he just doesn't know how to be apart of a Team once that leaps taken everyone will shut up its in his hands
NiKo's K/D is always lower than his rating unlike other superstars. Because he is getting high ratings with his impact. He has the highest ADR every year. He is getting so many entry kills, he got more opening kills than jackzz( who supposed to be entry ) in last 3-4 events. This is why he was #3 last year instead of sh1ro. He has lower rating but he was more impactful for team. You dont need to be genious to see how impactful NiKo is.
4:17
When exactly did he speak about his regrets in FaZe clan?
not winning boston or katowice
@@santana2993 In that case I regret not winning a million dollars.
wheres the correlation
@@santana2993 You can regret your actions or wish that something had happened. But you can't "regret" something not happening.
the better wording would be he regrets not playing well in boston
Niko is too good to not be at the top.
bring in jks and boombl4.
Boombl14 was barely even the IGL of NaVi unless he bringing B1ad3's strat book with him to G2
It always feels like Niko is this close and then he does something stupid and he has to start over again.
Depression in one vid
Funny he didn’t mention how he pushed karigan out of faze
There has to be a reason why nikos teams dont succeed.. and they don't bounce back like other teams.. I imagine there are issues that we won't be made aware of.
This guy is the Ronaldo of csgo, very talenter an capable of magic but Everywhere he goes the team cant reach max level. Karrigan became "god" (ig) after Niko, Aleksib is top5 but looks like a beginner. I just feel that Nico is the reason (problem?) for theese teams not succeeding,everywhere he goes they "underperform" EVERYWHERE
Karrigan stepped up massively because (according to rain) he no life’s aim practice 24/7 now
Also what did faze achieve before they had another massive upgrade in ropz? Yeah nothing they bombed out of every tournament early and the deepest run they made 2021 was a 4th place
Wants to crawl back to faze now they have a major
With all those tournament highlights... you can immediately tell how bad was Pgl Stockholm 's audio quality... literally terrible...all u could hear was 5 guys shouting
The pgl audio guy can never get enough hate
1:55 Ripped Robby s ells the best call of duty ch ea ts
Free faZe NiKo
Get spinx and veteran igl. You will have a chance
I actually never considered spinx as a replacement for jaks, maybe because vitality are after him. but a really good choice nontheless
@@SHAMS-G2 i see. But vit. Is looking for a new igl too. They want to bench apex. I heard it somewhere.
+snappi +maden would be perfect
Imagine NiKo just asked huNter
to join FaZe instead of coldzera LUL
And look at where FaZe are going right now
Definitely a tons of REGRETS I guess
It is okay NiKo, even R9 never won a Champions League
But R9 won the world cup :)
He is 25 there is stoll plenty of time all g2 needs is a better entry (which would be yekindar) and they would be destined to succeed
this didnt age wwell xDDD
i'm so happy that Skadaddy defeated him before he retired
I would've been happier if someone like Guardian and Olof got the trophy instead and I'm from NA. Ska showed how much he loved the game by quitting after winning the fluke major. That C9 team didn't even believe in themselves afterwards...
In the moment I was so happy but now seeing how they ended up I wish FaZe won Guardian needed that in his trophy case way more than Ska same with Karrigan over Tarik and it seems now that major win and grand slam has gone to stews head seeing how the end of liquid and EG went for him
@@youcantrustmem8 i don't say i hate Faze clan or something but the only one i feel sad is Guardian, he left without becoming Major champion
@@hoangvuminh6436 Fair though at that time while really good players none of the C9 player screamed legend that needed a major trophy except maybe ska but he was only a world class awper for like a year in like 2014 or 15 and that one day at Boston while the other side were star studded with some of the best Europe had to offer missing that title and after FaZe still made finals and won occasionally that C9 roster would never again reach close to that height
Probably not…
most of the players at his level had a major win already. Niko is the last one.
Zywoo ? and many others ...
@@convertlead8661yes zywoo 😂😂😂
i dont really care about major i love Niko
lmao even now he complains about karrigan. "we should not have picked OVP against C9" why dont u just say "yeah dumb fking pick karrigan, gee thanks". this guy has changed but probably still not enough to not be bitter about a freaking round loss, map or match. he surrounds himself with yes sayers but people with authority always seem to be let-go after some time
Niko benched check HlTV
No
Biggest mistake is to think people will stop talking shit.
Chase something because you want it, not because someone else doesn't want it for you. Also stop reading hltv comments.
What regrets ? Its just a recollection of events where's dropping karrigan regret and picking igls who are washed who only fit in with your ego. His mentality is ass and gets tilted by igls so easily
But Karrigan is Karrigan he knows how to win, because he drop him self to setups teammates,he don’t play for stats but he plays for win, and this is your problem NIKO,
Bring NEXA back please
He just jinxed himself. :D And to watch his HLTV profile page with only trophy from faZe time is a laugh :D Guess Karrigan wasn't that bad igl anyways ;) FORZA DENMARK!
Tmw you think you can IGL but u can't 😂
Next Major is Niko's 👍👍
no he is bad
Still NaVi vs FaZe
he wants back in Faze after seeing all their success
Faze won't take him back.

@@sahir3733 he left a broken faze for greener pastures in G2 and now G2 is literally on the verge of disband while Faze won a major and about to win a grand slam. U can see it in his eyes lmao
@@RustyCS2 he has said it numerous times that he always wanted to play with his cousin.
I can tell you his regrets about Faze clan, they fact they are currently kicking his teams ass.
Once Niko wins a Major, he needs another. He choked to much for one major to change the image he gave himself. Let that Ego go niko. You can’t IGL to save your life
Stop with facts
I rather listen to idiotic opinions based on subjective feelings than objectivity
Niko is overpowered and csgo devs don't care about balance therefore it's a waste of time to play csgo
Niko won't ever win a cs go major....
IDK if its the way hes being questioned or sth, but his answers sounds a bit desperate and pessimistic. With this kind of mentality, i dont think he will ever win a tournament, let alone a major.
Maybe just letting it all go and enjoy the moment is a better option, at least he can pop off at important moments with less pressure.
Niko has always been very blunt and honest. I actually appreciate his candor.
This is why he’s the team destroyer.
@@Nerdywr you kids didn't watch G2 right before Niko's arrival, I guess ? What team he destroyed ? A faze that wasn't winning shit for a pretty long period wich players pretty soon retired or went into tier10 teams or a G2 that were literally worst G2 ever before his arrival ?
NiKo brother...yes Karrigan is 32 but he is IGL, they can afford to not have the best aim and reflexes. Once you get older its only downhill. Dont piss of the years and push for major ASAP.
so every baseball player who hits 30 should retire because by your genius logic, they no longer have the reflexes to hit a fastball. Do people really believe this when we have athletes playing PHYSICAL sports at the highest level in their late 30's and 40's? It's crazy to see this psuedo-science being parroted as fact all over the scene. The truth is no one knows yet, but based on other sports, guys like s1mple and niko should be able to play into their thirties. The only players who have even come close to Niko's aim are twistzz and b1t. It's not like we have a new batch of aimers who are even magically better than Niko and are going to put him to shame. His aim transcends generations.
@@peepopoo4387 what??? Literally most sports athletes have retired by 40 tf you on about
@@jeremy_1999u what????? Tom Brady is in his mid forties and still a top QB. Jordan could've averaged 20 ppg at 40+ if he wanted. People used to think tennis players were washed by their mid to late twenties. Athletes will continue to prove people like you wrong. Of course youth is always a good thing, but I think people put too much stock into it. Travis Pastrana is one of my favorite people and he's 38 still pushing things to the limit despite breaking every bone in his body. Different sports have different life expectancies and we simply don't know what Counter Strike's is. You guys could be right that people are washed by their mid twenties, but there is another side where the wear and tear of the game is minimal and people could play at the highest level for years.
@@peepopoo4387 bro as much as you may laugh, reaction time is something that cannot be trained as much as your body can when it comes to typical sports, medical research and physical care has increased so much in typical sports and thats whats allowing people to stay in the game for so much longer, and before you argue about the baseball one with CS, there is a slight difference that actually has massive consequences to it, you can see when hes going to throw the ball, that may not seem like much but that makes all the difference, as opposed to walking around a corner in CS and trying to out react a fucking 19 year old whos reaction times are possibly in their prime
@@peepopoo4387 why are you comparing real sports with esports?
Niko is undoubtedly a great player, one of the greatest of all time, but calling karrigan overrated set himself up to fail by making sure they would keep getting their achievements compared. Karrigan is one of the most decorated veteran igls in the game, someone who has consistently taken lesser inexperienced players and turned them into contenders. Ropz credits karrigan with his massive individual growth and success. If you call someone with that resume overrated then who can possibly match up and be your igl?
How about you man up and say that you were wrong about Karrigan
Change your attitude NiKo 🙈
the problem is aleksib, karrigan, jackz dont have many followers on instagram compare to him
In what way is that a problem?
Since when followers ON IG is a key to success? How old are you newbie?
@@bruno.hunt. dude, what i mean is they probably upset him, niko is the most toxic superstar😐
@@bruno.hunt. i mean he's the superstar he doesn't need anyone to lead him, he's the best, G2 cant kick him, G2 kicks who upset him
At least 0-4 in finals. Leaves faze in dust and now they’re winning and he’s still losing. Can’t feel bad for him as his ego has to play a role in this but what a talent.
he went to G2 to play with Hunter lol, he was in Faze for quite a while and won a lot with them. Don't be stupid.
@@EntropyKC He should just asked huNter to join FaZe
Faze fans who hate niko are just idiots/misinformed. He was a beast there man, gave us allot to root for. He was not the one who kicked Karrigan, as even karrigan has stated the whole team fell apart after so many rough losses and they made the decision to bench him.
Niko was very hardworking in faze, but the management was just crap. Kept signing washed up igl's that didn't fit, Neo Adren etc, just tone-deaf roster moves. Niko was also the one who brought broky to the team.
Now faze are a great team, but it's not because niko left lol. It's because karrigan came back reinvigorated after mouz, properly structured the team, and brought a big upgrade in Ropz. It also took a year to get everything working.
lol what ego? classic niko hater
