CS:GO: GeT_RiGhT reveals future plans after NiP\u2019s strong start at ESL One Cologne DreamHackCS:GO legend Christopher \u2018GeT_RiGhT\u2019 Alesund gave an update on his future intentions after NiP\u2019s strong start at ESL One Cologne. There has been some uncertainty about GeT_RiGhT\u2019s future after Ninjas in Pyjamas announced that they would be looking for a long-term replacement for him after the StarLadder Berlin Major. Having spent nearly seven years competing for NiP, GeT_RiGhT\u2019s departure from the team will mark the end of an era. He is one of the organization\u2019s most iconic players, and alongside Patrik \u2018f0rest\u2019 Lindberg also one of the only remaining members of the legendary line-up that dominated the first years of CS:GO. Considering how veteran a player GeT_RiGhT is, many fans speculated that being cut from the team he\u2019s spent the entirety of CS:GO\u2019s lifespan playing for might mean the end of his career as a player. It seems, however, that GeT_RiGht isn\u2019t done yet. In an interview at ESL One Cologne, where NiP is currently competing, GeT_RiGhT stated that while his future with NiP remains uncertain, the one thing he\u2019s sure of is that he\u2019s not ready to retire. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of very emotional for me to even talk about it because I don\u2019t know what my future is in the team. I know that I\u2019m helping out until after the Major when they\u2019re going to decide what\u2019s going to happen with me, and I\u2019m open to stepping down if that\u2019s the possibility. I feel personally I don\u2019t want to give up on playing, I feel like I\u2019m not even done as a player. I want to show everyone once again that I want to keep playing. We\u2019ll have to see what happens, I haven\u2019t made any decisions, the only thing is I\u2019m not retiring at least.\u201d The statement comes after a strong showing for Ninjas in Pyjamas in the opening rounds of ESL One Cologne. They won their first match against Vitality, who are entering off of a big victory at the ECS Season 7 Finals, and then cruised past Heroic with a 2-0 win to guarantee a playoff spot. They\u2019re now due to face Astralis to determine whether they advance to the semi-finals or quarter-finals. Regardless of the outcome for NiP at ESL One Cologne, fans will still get at least one more chance to see GeT_RiGhT compete for the Ninjas at the StarLadder Berlin Major, taking place August 23 to September 8. Exactly how long after that it will take for NiP to find a suitable replacement for GeT_RiGhT, however, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
