DjL has been earmarked as the ideal candidate to replace Bj\u00f6rn \u2018THREAT\u2019 Pers, who transitioned to a technical role within the NIP organization at the end of 2021. THREAT, NIP\u2019s head coach for four years across two stints between 2016 and 2021, didn\u2019t attend the final event of the 2021 season, the BLAST Premier World Final, where the organization\u2019s COO, Jonas Gundersen, stood behind the players. That event also saw academy AWPer Love \u2018phzy\u2019 Smidebrant replace star player Nicolai \u2018dev1ce\u2019 Reedtz, who was still recovering from an unspecified illness that had also seen him sit out the team\u2019s last match at IEM Winter. Jonas Gundersen, NIP\u2019s COO, has since confirmed the report on Twitter. \u201cIt\u2019s true,\u201d he wrote. \u201cDjL is joining our coaching staff. Just wait for the announcement and the full picture will be given. We are all still on player break.\u201d It’s true @djLCSGO is joining our coaching staff.

The pair also briefly played together under GamerLegion\u2019s banner. DjL, whose playing career also included spells on teams like Red Reserve, Epsilon and Chaos, coached Copenhagen Flames in 2021 before their surprise run at IEM Fall and at PGL Major Stockholm. Since July, he has been the assistant coach of Apeks, who signed Tim \u2018nawwk\u2019 Jonasson from NIP in December as part of their offseason rebuild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
