Sep 22, 2020Tap to summarizeNiP 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.
