I have to admit Natu has been around forever and he hasnt really ever done anything to suggest he should be involved at that level. Or did I miss something.

I think he used to play in decent Finish teams like D Sky or Astralis but teams like Rival or even Z3X were a bigger deal than he has ever been.

Maybe he did something in source because I never followed it.

To be quite honest, dropping Maikelele for Allu was a big mistake for NiP; while Maikelele was flashy at some point, he was the person that changed how NiP played. He took risks for the team and inspired the team to do well. And don't forget he was able to be explosive which would help NiP fluctuate their playstyle to be harder to read. Now if you look at Allu, NiP just use him to look for very stale entries; He's not really making the big plays the team needs to get him. Forest and Friberg have been trying to do that but not to the success that NiP needs.

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that NiP hasn't been able to evolve their gameplay. They're still stuck in their 2013 era where they can just win with aim and now they know that isn't the case. We really don't know what Natu did but we do know that Natu didn't help the team evolve just like how EnVyUs evolved, Fnatic evolved, hell even fucking Cloud9 evolved and elevated their level of gameplay.

What took me by surprise was the fact that there were a lot of things outside the game that unfortunately had their toll on actual playing. Things I would have no control over and most of them things I don’t wish to elaborate more on. But what I can say is there were many psychologicly challenging issues. Players you have seen win it all and break records proving to be in a fragile state in terms of self confidence is not something you’d expect to be working with when talking about NiP.

combined with lack of selfconfidence and quite frankly too many players having a challenging period in individual play caused an unfortunate spiral of bad results.

What natu said about the team pretty much explains everything.



Rest here

They tried solving their problems with two Swedes and now two Finns. Neither is working, so if you still think that kicking natu (and Allu) is the best course of action and the reason NIP isn't performing, you're a moron.
