BASED NIKO

It is so great to see Niko in a good mood, let alone realize he and the team clawed their way to the play-offs through a very difficult bracket with such a tough situation. I genuinely think Niko doesn't have even half of recognition and praise for a professional he is. Also loved the fact he mentioned Hooxi and that he is still the one responsible for strats while being away, which makes all Hooxi haters look dumb once again. Not to take anything away from Niko and the fact he is one of the smartest players out there, it is so visible that most powerful calls, especially defaults that work time after time again, are clearly Hooxi's. Maybe taking of the pressure does help these players to kinda wake up and remember that they can win games just by being confident and not doubting themselves.

@@sofarsogod Yeah. Don't forget also how much there is to do outside of the server. Anti-stratting, tactics, prep is a huge part of that and imo Hooxi has always been one of the best in that department, while Niko relies a lot on experience and mid-rounding. That makes him a good second voice, but not so much a good IGL. And i wouldnt want him to be. I much rather have him dm 2 hours more and sleep longer than do what Hooxi does.

NiKo is getting so much hate with NO reason. He was one of the if not the best rifler to ever do it. And he is the only rifler to ever compete with the notorious duo of simple and zywoo in their primes as a RIFLER. My man is still delivering good game after game. Sure he has bad phases sometimes, every player does. But to blame him after all the times he tried so hard and how much he trains every day is so f disrespectful and retarded. Just something good to read for once about NiKo the onedeag.

They will be facing spirit tho. If they shut down donk they will somehow have a chance to win the iem dallas.

Stewie is far supreme for G2. Aleskib overthinks and even Blade said this. Hooxi to passive and Niko has to think too much. Stew is the absolute perfect fit like a glove w a bit of arrogance. His 2 year time lapse allowed him to reset, this is actually great. sry Hooxi but u need the boot and the coach is stupid if otherwise
