We like the NIP team, but we’d be lying to you if we said we didn’t think there was a weak link.

Fortunately, we’re really smart, and NIP think he’s a weak link, too.

That weak link is ewjerkz, who NIP have wasted no time in benching following their disappointing collapse in Stage 2 of the Major. The second Portuguese player they’ve benched this year after arrozdoce, it really does suggest that the run in Cologne with SAW may have just been a nice little national team fluke showing.

They’ll reportedly be replacing him with Inner Circle player cairne, who has been seriously impressive this year with the Ukrainian team. A player who can be a true third star for them alongside r1nkle and xKacpersky, it’s a move we really can’t knock at all.

We’d like to, seeing as it’s NIP and we had to watch the dross they put out for years, but we just can’t.

It’s just a good move. We hope it works out. Long live Snappi FC.
