Swedish esports organization NIP has announced that it has signed with Patrick “es3tag” Hansen. The organization announced on its official Twitter account.
Es3tag will replace Linus “LNZ” Holtäng, who is returning to Young Ninjas. The 25-year-old player was competing for Complexity before NIP. The Danish player spent 4 months in Complexity, but they were not very successful in tournaments.
The Danish player said in a press release:
I’m absolutely thrilled to be back at the absolute forefront of competitive CS:GO to play with world-class proven individuals, with whom I can create a legacy. With backing from an organization like NIP I’m confident that everything surrounding the squad is primed so we can reach the pinnacle of CS:GO.And yes I speak Swedish.
In a statement about the LNZ, NIP said:
This of course means that our boy Linus “LNZ” Holtäng stands down from the active roster and returns to his mates in the Young Ninjas. Like ztr before him, he rejoins the crew as a sixth member with a ton of experience to spread around and a magnificent beard to show for it. What’s more, the players on the main squad can rest easy knowing that an injury isn’t the end of the world because there’s someone behind them who can step up and help out.
Along with es3tag, NIP will face Astralis at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021.
Current NIP Roster:
- Nicolai “device” Reedtz
- Patrick “es3tag” Hansen
- Fredrik “REZ” Sterner
- Hampus “hampus” Poser
- Nicolas Gonzales “Plopski” Zamora
- Björn “THREAT” Pers (Coach)
