Didn't he make some very controversial remarks about Poland that got him kicked out of EMS One coverage?

Yes he did, people apparently don't like "unfiltered" opinions.

I kind of agree with Thorin on this one. Only looking at pure skill, Maikelele is by far the best option. I'm pretty sure they will pick on of the ex-LGB boys no matter what. Maikelele, Twist or Dennis(If he goes out of retirement) most likely. I doubt they will pick schneider or MODDI like Thorin is suggesting though. MODDI won't work in the team and there is a reason that schneider got kicked from Fnatic. Delpan and SKYTTEN/Pyth/Cype are also options I guess but I find all of them less likely than the first 3 I mentioned. If NiP want to be the best in the world again, they can't pick a good player, they need an excellent player.

Personal opinion:

Fliffly is a dick for retiring a month before DHW. If I was him, I would have waited to see if we (nip) could have at least prepped strats for DHW using the people that we know and just focus on awp training. It would have been better to see what happened at DHW then retire regardless if he wants to go be a coach or a staff member.

That being said, Fliffy wouldn't retire unless NiP has a replacement for him cause they seriously can't be wasting time like this having only 4 when DHW is quite close and they're still scheduled to play in it. If they are quitting DHW to focus on figuring out what is wrong with them and fix it, that would be huge news and I know NiP won't let DHW slide. Play all the rumor mill games you want, but I expect that NiP already has a 5th and that 5th has been training alot to get ready to replace fliffy. Now, who is going to be IGL, I don't know. I don't even know what role the 5th will take up, time will see.

I don't think there's any reason to go pointing fingers unless there's some info on how the decision was made. At least all I know, it could have been NiP kicking Fifflaren out or them parting ways because everybody agreed it was the best decision.

I think they have kind of a regular standin, you can see him playing in NiP players' streams pretty often. I have no idea if he's the calibre to really play in on a top notch competition, but they seem to have a guy who knows how NiP's play works and can play along in that aspect.

Last time I heard of NiP using a standin because someone was sick or something, it was HeatoN

Heh, that would be something.

I think the guy I was referring was Tanari. He hangs around with NiP tag and I think I've heard some player describe him as the 6th NiP. Not even the foggiest idea about his actual status and skill though.

In general, do you think NiP has enough influence to steal someone from the top tier teams?

I would think one of the primary concerns for NiP is to get a Swedish player. So to take another player from a Swedish team (aka Fnatic) is unlikely.

I was foolishly wishing that SpawN would take the vacant spot in NiP and become the all mighty again Maikelele is pretty sick though, and I suppose that they go along well if they hired him, can't wait to see them in action!

i have no idea who maikelele is. why is everyone hyping him up? personally i hope it's twist :D

re thorin, i know him mainly through his cs content and i always really enjoy it. i think he's also said that brood war is 10/10 for an esport too. solid in my book!

Maikelele is on trial, we'll see how it goes. He's known to have attitude problems.

maikelele is probably the best swedish player who is not already in fnatic or NiP, pretty interested to see how this works out

here is one cool clip of him from a game i remember watching live:

This Ukraine vs Russia game is hilarious. its just HR + Navi vs HR + Navi (+ 2 Dat players) and everyone is literally playing the same way they play on their respective teams; it's a mess.

As a bit of an interesting detail, one of the major Swedish newspapers is apparently having a whole section titled 'esports'. I don't see that happening in any other country in Europe.
