FaZe Clan\u2019s NiKo set to join G2 Esports very soon: Report StarLadderCSGO star Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d is close to a transfer out of FaZe Clan to G2 Esports, which would pair him with cousin and fellow rifler, Nemanja \u2018huNter-\u2019 Kova\u010d. [jwplayer P0zzFW0M] Back in late September, it was reported that the two organizations opened up discussion around the transfer of the 23-year old Bosnian international. The deal was expected to be finalized weeks after the initial report, though now it could be closer to happening. There would be a lot of pressure for both teams to close the books on a deal soon, seeing as the BLAST Premier Fall Series is around the corner. The news follows FaZe Clan\u2019s latest event championship at the European Intel Extreme Masters XV New York on October 11; G2 Esports finished that event in 7th-8th place. According to HLTV, the deal could include \u201cone of the biggest transfer fees in the game,\u201d which could outdo the $500,000 fee FaZe paid mousesports for NiKo in 2017. G2 would have to make space in their starting roster for NiKo, which could see French player Fran\u00e7ois \u2018AmaNEk\u2019 Delaunay either benched or traded to another team, according to the report. Similarly, FaZe are said to already be on the hunt for someone to replace the star before the $150,000 BLAST Premier begins. G2 Esports are in the Group C bracket of that event and will face off against FURIA on November 2, while the Group B matchup between FaZe and BIG kicks off on October 29 \u2013 so the two sides will be hard-pressed to finalize any proposed deal as soon as possible. As successful as NiKo has been on an individual level, his run with FaZe has yet to result in a Major title. While the next Major in Rio has been indefinitely postponed due to the ongoing crisis, the superstar could be playing under a new banner by the time it rolls around. If a deal gets done, he will move on from a team with players like Marcelo \u2018coldzera\u2019 David, Markus \u2018Kjaerbye\u2019 Kj\u00e6rbye, and H\u00e5vard \u2018rain\u2019 Nygaard for the likes of Nemanja \u2018nexa\u2019 Isakovi\u0107 and longtime French star Kenny \u2018kennyS\u2019 Schrub. NiKo has been with FaZe for three years, but all indications are that his spell wearing the red and black jerseys won\u2019t be lasting much longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
