Niko will replace nexa in OG’s active lineup

OG is about to take part in the Major circuit but gets a piece of shocking news right before the BLAST.tv Paris Major. Captain Nemanja "nexa" Isaković has announced he would be taking a step back from his duties citing personal reasons and miss the upcoming closed qualifier.

The international squad has thus picked Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen as his replacement temporarily but the Dane could not possibly take over the role of an in-game leader. The team is currently bootcamping in Poland. Niko would be part of the squad till OG would be alive in the Major cycle. Competing with teams like fnatic and MOUZ, OG has put on a strong show this year despite the losses to FaZe or Heroic, the Shahar "flameZ" Shushan and the team is currently No. 8 in the world. Now the team would be seen in action from February 16-19 with teams like Monte, Aurora, GamerLegion, Falcons, Apeks, and Illuminar who qualified from the open qualifier.
