NiP have confirmed the addition of Maikil “Golden” Selim to their roster following a loan deal with Cloud9.
After having replaced dennis in the active lineup, NiP have been a man short for the Major as Plopski would not be able to play with them due to Valve roster lock rules as Team Ancient made their way to the Europe Minor with Plopski playing for them. Hence, NiP has secured the services of Maikil “Golden” Selim since their latest addition. The 25-year-old is speculated to take over the reins of the team from Get_Right who has been the shot caller in recent times.
Rumours of Golden joining NiP surfaced online after the 25-year-old began following pita and Plopski on Twitter. Additionally, Johnathan, General Manager of Cloud 9 CSGO began following koosta and JamezIRL on Twitter. Thus, confirming that a roster change was on the cards.
The Berlin Major will see NiP in action from August 23-September 8 at the New Legends Stage with the following team:
- Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg
- Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund
- Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson
- Fredrik “REZ” Sterner
- Maikil “Golden” Selim (on loan from Cloud9)
- Faruk “pita” Pita (coach)
