NiP coach THREAT joined HLTV Confirmed to talk about his work on rebuilding the Swedish team, the blessing in disguise that was f0rest's departure, and working with young players through a packed CS:GO schedule on avoiding burnout. The tactician explained why there are no new Swedish IGLs and criticized the "old generation", of which he was a part of.

During the podcast, the panel talks about roster moves, reported and confirmed, including NiKo to G2, woxic and mezii to Cloud9, and Dignitas benching GeT_RiGhT and Xizt. After touching on BLAST's prize pool changes, the show took a turn towards the current landcaspe, oversaturation, and tournament organizers, with SPUNJ showing his concept for an ideal 2021 schedule.
