On February 16, 1997 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the protagonist of this issue was born, NiKo. At the age of 14, he became a professional player and one of the top talented players. He was exposed to cs at the age of 9, and over time, his skills became better and better, and he gradually became dissatisfied with online domination, formed an offline team with the help of his family, and began to be brought by his family to contact cs competitions. (It is worth mentioning that it is said that when he was 9 years old, he was taken to an Internet café by his family to get exposed to CS and fell in love with it.) At just 14 years old, NiKo was recruited into the team by iNation, Serbia's best team, and transferred to CSGO.
But NiKo always wanted to play his hometown game, so when the Mousesports sent him an invitation to the team, he refused on the grounds that his English was not good, and he believed that he could take Serbia to the top. But the reality is cruel after all, in his 2 years of career, after feeling the cruelty of reality, finally smoothed out by life, found that it is impossible to get corresponding development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so in 2015, NiKo accepted the second invitation of the Rats and opened a new chapter in his career. When he first arrived at the mouse, everyone thought that he was just a talented rising star (in the field of csgo, the most important thing is the talented teenager), but after completing the trial, he replaced Spieidi as the starter. His first international offline tournament was the esea s18, and he reached the finals with the team with excellent marksmanship, but after the defeat in the finals, and the rats signed PNETA and others for the legendary group place, they could not adapt to the team's German communication, and were once placed on the cold bench.
But he was not affected by this, and instead returned from the offseason and showed great courage, constantly creating qualifications for the team. It was during this period that NiKo and SandHawk resounded throughout the arena, and their outstanding performance against Titan can now be seen in the highlights. At the end of 2015, NiKo took command of the Rats, and the Rats began a new chapter, after which the Rats game seemed to become his personal show.
NiKo Sand Eagle 5 Kill
In 2016 iem, the Rats were assigned to the Death Team (nip, FNATIC, LG in the same group) this group was almost the top team at the time, and the Rats were just a second-tier team. NiKo, on the other hand, played his best career record, averaging 1.51 and 111.6 damage per game on five maps, and a single 42-kill record against FNATIC, a world-class strong team. He showed his talent to the fullest, and it was believed that as long as the Rats' team members gave some strength, NiKo could lift the trophy on a higher stage. But it backfired, and after the IEM ended, the rats who rushed to the major were out in the group stage. Then it seemed that everything was not so smooth, until the S1 season of the E League, everyone was not optimistic about the rats, but they still beat NAVI, F3, G2, FAZE, Astralis all the way through the barriers, and finally advanced to the final four. He lost to VP, but no one blamed NiKo, who also won the honor of personal EVP. But csgo is a game for 5 people after all, even if one person has a strong strength, it is only one person.
NiKo, which ranked 11th in the 2016 TOP20
In the 2017 Atlanta Major, when they thought NiKo deserved better honors, they didn't even make the group stage and collapsed. At this time, NiKo's contract expired, and FaZe took NiKo at a high transfer fee of $50w, which was the highest transfer fee for csgo at the time. Although NiKo's contract expired, he still wore the Rats jersey to help the Rats finish the DH Las Vegas station, and he reached the semifinals with the Rats at an average of 1.48 per game, which was his farewell ceremony for the Rats. Since then, he has joined the FaZe team.
