After benching and parting ways with 2 of their players, OG have announced that they are bringing on niko for their CS:GO team. Here is their announcement:
OG bringing on niko for CS:GO – Who is he?
22-year-old Nikolaj “niko” Kristensen is a Danish professional CS:GO player. He started his CS:GO career with Team Refuse in 2015, and slowly improved along the years. He has played with numerous teams, organisations and lineups. Most notably: tRICKED eSport, OpTic Gaming, North, Rogue, and most recently, Heroic. Here are some of his best achievements in his CS:GO career:
- 1st in ESL One: Cologne 2020 Online – Europe – 30th August 2020 – $150,000
- First at DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 – 2nd September 2018 – $100,000
- 1st in DreamHack Open Summer 2019 – 17th June 2019 – $50,000
This is what Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, player for OG had to say about the signing:
“When we realised Nikolaj was available, he jumped to our top candidate for the team. Valde and Casper had a lot of insights on him already so it made the decision easier for us. In a short amount of time he has really impressed me, especially with how selfless he is and how he communicates with the team. Even though we have a lot to work on, our first task is to try our best in the EPL Groupstage. Let’s get it.”

OG’s continuous struggles
A few weeks ago we released an article stating that it was time for OG to make some changes with their lineup. In the article we did not hint out at which player or players would be the ones to go, but benching NBK and ISSAA was probably the wisest option. Keeping Aleksib as the main in-game leader is key for this roster to succeed. Valde has never disappointed and Mantuu has been a solid awper ever since he joined the team. With niko joining the team, OG will certainly improve their results.
