The legendary CSGO professional player Niko is 26 years old this year. He comes from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is known as the ceiling of riflemen. He was once the first-generation orphanage director of mouz. He led the entire team with 1 and 4, and now plays for For the G2 team.
NiKo was born in a wealthy family in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1997, and was exposed to the game CS at a very young age. Due to his parents' open-mindedness and competitive spirit, local small competitions soon could no longer satisfy him at that time. In 2010, NiKo, who was only 13 years old, had already entered the CS professional circle. Although he was just starting out, he could only struggle in the secondary league.
But the light of talent cannot be concealed, and soon someone noticed this rookie in the 1.6 event. To this day, NiKo can no longer remember the first CS event he participated in. But he still remembers the tense atmosphere of the game, "Winning was my only goal at that time, and my desire to win pushed me to embark on a career path.
And the support from my family also gave me no worries. , they took me to participate in competitions and helped me achieve my goals. I will spend my whole life being grateful to my parents
NiKo’s bumpy road to CSGO
First time entering CSGO. Although his performance was outstanding, his career was not all smooth sailing. His defeat in the ESEA S18 Global Invitational Finals directly led to him being benched.
But NiKo himself said: "It was me in that game. Favorite game. It was my first time participating in an international offline competition, and my EC-2 mouse was broken before, but I overcame all the difficulties and performed very well. ”
In the few games after returning to the Red Army at the end of the offseason, NiKo began to continuously create opportunities for the team with his heroic performance-DH Cluj’s offline qualification, Major qualification, and CEVO's eighth offline qualification.
Although they did not achieve their goals in the offline competition, CEVO's second place in the competition was still considered a success in the first few offline events in 2016. In the next tournament, he was the best player on the team.
At IEM Katowice, he had an average rating of 1.51 in the five maps in the group stage, and in the game against Fnatic. The 42 kills in the top lane were even more unforgettable. Although the trip to IEM Katowice ended badly, NiKo's performance at the MLG Major in Columbus was still impressive.
But his teammates couldn't adapt. After such a high-intensity confrontation, Mouz was eliminated in the group stage. In the DH Malmo Masters, Mouz unexpectedly defeated LG and Liquid in the group stage, but still lost to GODSENT in the quarter-finals.
"DH Malmo is a game that I remember vividly. When playing against GODSENT, I remember the score was 13-14 on Mirage. We were eco. Holding tec9, another teammate and I faced 5 enemies. After I killed four people, we still lost the 2V1 endgame. . This makes me very stressed, how good would it be if I could do 1V5?"
NiKo said in his memories. Recruiting kassad as coach may have had a big impact on this team. In the first session They finished 3-4 in the ELEAGUE event and qualified for the ESL Cologne Major. However, this time the Major failed again and kassad had to choose to leave Mousesports.
