After a 11 year long CS career, our main AWP:er Robin “Fifflaren” Johansson has chosen to leave the professional scene of CS:GO. The decision to step down was made after ESWC and is released here and now in consent of the organization. He has won it all, done it all, and is to date one of the most successful, famous and discussed Counter-Strike players of all time. We took the opportunity to sit down with fifflaren and get his opinion on the matter and remember the times past.

“These past two years have been the experience of a lifetime, I’ve learnt so much, travelled all over the world and had a chance to get to know four amazing people who I am proud to call my friends. These are memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. In addition to that, we got to rebuild the legendary NiP-brand and that is the heritage we leave behind us as we go further to realize other dreams in our lives.

No matter who takes my place, I sincerely hope that the team will play well and win, which has always been our ultimate goal and they truly deserve it. I want to thank my ex-teammates, the management of NiP who made it all possible, and a special thanks to all of my fans for the love and support over the years.”

Additional information: Robin “Fifflaren” Johansson has been offered a position within the NiP organization, but no contracts have been written at this time. We await further information from the board of NiP and Fifflaren himself.
