Friberg, Maikelele & Xizt add to Fifflaren\u2019s NiP accusations DreamHack \/ ESLFormer CS:GO players Mikail \u2018Maikelele\u2019 Bill, Richard \u2018Xizt\u2019 Landstr\u00f6m, and Adam \u2018friberg\u2019 Friberg have reacted to Robin \u2018Fifflaren\u2019 Johansson\u2019s accusations of player mistreatment by NiP. In an interview with Richard Lewis, Fifflaren claimed that a large portion of the prize money earned during NiP\u2019s 2012-13 run never made it back to the players, that management made roster moves without the consultation of the players, and that their contracts included clauses that stated the organization could fire them at any time. Now, Maikelele, Xizt and friberg, who all represented NiP in the past, have opened up about their time with the team, and some of the experiences they had while under the umbrella of the Swedish organization. In a tweet posted by Maikelele on July 24, the 28-year-old revealed that following the 2014 DreamHack Winter Major, a former NiP CEO informed him that he shouldn\u2019t receive an equal share of the money made from the team\u2019s CS:GO stickers due to his inexperience. \u201cI remember after attending DreamHack 2014 Major with NiP, the old CEO told me I shouldn\u2019t get as much sticker money as the rest because I (was) the new boy,\u201d wrote the Swede on Twitter. \u201cBack then I accepted it because it was my first pro team, and felt like I didn\u2019t have too much to say about it.\u201d I remember after attending Dreamhack 2014 major with NiP, the old CEO told me I shouldn’t get as much stickers money as the rest because I’m the new boy. Back then I accepted it because it was my first pro team and felt like I didn’t have to much to say about it. \u2014 Maikel Bill (@maikelele) July 23, 2019 Xizt gave fans an insight into his departure from the organization, leaving NiP in April 2018 after almost six years representing the team. While the Swede chose not to reveal any specific details about the manner of his exit, he made it clear that it was not handled well, and stated that he wasn\u2019t the only one who left the organization in a poor manner, before showing his support for Fifflaren. Xizt tweeted: \u201cWatching this just makes me sick. My departure \u2013 like almost everyone \u2013 wasn\u2019t handled pretty either. Kudos to Fifflaren for opening up about \u2018our story\u2019 and I\u2019m back him 100% on this.\u201d Ughh, watching this just makes me sick.. My departure (like almost everyones) wasn’t handled pretty either.
