The Swedish scene is in a bit of a mess right now, and draken has decided to voice his frustrations over NIP’s recent roster changes and management decisions.

“It’s truly crazy how you have been under ‘construction’ for the past 7 years without any progress. Still stomping your head against the wall to get this mediocre international lineup to work”, draken states, following NIP's disappointing defeat to CYBERSHOKE in the CCT Season 2 Europe Series 16 Play-In.

NIP has been cycling through Swedish players and making questionable managerial decisions for the past seven years - that much we can agree on.

But now, just as they’ve found a glimmer of hope with a lineup that actually makes sense, draken decides to speak up – right after the team’s first BO3 loss together, having only played three official BO3s as a squad, and not even with the full roster due to Valve’s rules. That doesn’t seem fair to us.

“You had the chance to pick up my Johnny Speeds lineup and you could have even kept REZ. We barely practiced and had a coach 50% of the time and look where that got us”, draken adds.

We’re pretty sure claiming you didn’t practice much while trying to make a case for your team is a bit counterintuitive. But hey, maybe NIP will buy into it - they do have a history of making questionable decisions.

Honestly, this rant just comes off as draken being upset that NIP didn’t give him or the Johnny Speeds lineup a shot and is now crying on Twitter to see if it’ll stick. LinkedIn is probably a better option if you’re looking for some work, buddy.

“This international concept has made you crazy. & THREAT speaks publicly that there are so few Swedish talents. I beg to differ and I will show you”.

Well, draken, the floor is yours. We’ll be watching.
