North and NIP destroyed in few years, no files needed 😂

[@stef9019]

Damn Hampus went all out on this one. Very insightful interview, glad he got to say his part.

[@TheBigK02]

It’s crazy how good of a talk he does. Professional and very funny. He doesn’t talk down to the player and lets him speak his mind. Well done sir.

[@jameshull4340]

This is exactly the reason I've been a fan of Hampus, straight talking and sees the nonsense a mile off. NIP taking their rightful hammering here.

[@henrik1743]

If Jonas had the balls or brain to listen to Hampus more… but Jesus christ the Esetag situation

"in jail or in thailand" least corrupt esport person

Hampus who has been top fragging on Bleed and now joins Thorin on a Talk to Thorin episode. Hampus your time on NIP does not count. You are vindicated!

[@Phantox1101]

hampus, rez, brollan, isak and naawk still would be awesome. But the hampus mentioned lineup would be sick too. Nilo, rez, hampus, naawk, isak

[@xlgapelsin6173]

Jonas gunderssen disasterclass. Who would have expected that am i right?

[@David_Logr]

after the Kjaerbye/North titanic, nonetheless

[@joramsim]

As a NIP supporter for 8 years now I can honestly say that I have never ever disliked anyone in the scene as much as I dislike calc.

[@SarahButSheep]

I've got good news, he retired

[@joramsim]

@@SarahButSheep I hope that's just the official story, would be much more satisfying to hear that he got fired for all the shit he did

[@JoeyFucktwice]

@@joramsim I'm just here wondering what could have been. Like, if only Device came back and played with Brollan and we didn't have to play ZTR and LNZ.

[@juanframetallica82]

hampus came in with no filter, I love it

[@JCC139139]

Hampus is my favorite pro player since Get_Right and F0rest retired, hearing from him like this is awesome, really hate hearing how much he has gotten screwed over

[@fredericoo]

I never expected that, but i think this is a top 3 interview.

[@jadedaim]

its so much fun to see these talk to thorin episodes with the ex nip players just exposing everything lol

[@patrikhajdu7193]

Hampus hatemaxxing so hard i wouldnt be surprised if he shorted the NIP stock before this podcast😂

[@toniownez]

It's not like people were lining up to buy it to begin with....

[@toxic_pain2117]

Hatemaxing 😂😂😂

[@moma026able]

In the end when hampus was talking about still wanting to prove himself and win something despite playing for a long time, I though alright, with that mindset he still might have time... Then I checked HLTV and saw that the guy is only 25 years old! That's crazy, so many years ahead of him to accomplish whatever he wants. If karrigan can keep doing it at 33, there's a lot more years left for hampus Great interview too, very nice to hear from him since he doesn't really do a lot of content and a valuable look into what was happening behind the scenes at NIP

[@AceChaosFilms]

Hampus was an amazing guest. Straight talking and passionate about winning above all else, basically the opposite of NIP management 😂

[@fyroe]

Banger for sure, hope for some good info on BLEEDs future aswell

[@pinkfloydfan22]

This one was brilliant,hampus is very open to talk about everything.

[@fjejejjrbskjwjw163]

hampus är så kung tyckte han va top 20 åtminstone 2021. Hoppas han kan komma tillbaka till toppen!

[@emilm7375]

Love those interviews which gives you an inside look of things. Keep them coming Thoorin! I want more information regarding NiP managment. Seems to be so misshandled. Maybe try get Naawk for a talk? I guess he have a lot to say, and wouldnt be shy to tell lol

[@dsv-banshee52]

Nawwk had one a month or two ago

[@xlgapelsin6173]

Naaawk has already had one talk to Thorin video

[@mckinleyostvig7135]

This might be the best ever episode of this show. NiP is the most clown shoes org I have ever seen.

EG used to exist 😂

[@busybossybee]

kudos to Thorin for all the background work he does before he conducts these interviews, it really shows!

[@BMJYDK]

Hampus has suffered so badly in NiP from just pure timings. That comment about anti-stratting Mouz based on their shitty Razer headsets is golden.

[@Nefekto]

We need more players to be as vocal as hampus, also, would love to see him on more shows, snake & banter maybe?

[@NutelaaGG]

hampus seems like such a down to earth guy, great interview!

[@Monkeytownboss]

The lineup from Hampus at the end would actually be fire

[@tommey2331]

Great video. This gives us so much context on why NIP has been so bad for so long. Aleksib definitely dodged a bullet by getting kicked. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye for bleed and hampus's journey. Maybe you could get aleksib for one of these interviews / podcasts. Just imagine having the new champion IGL as the next guest. I bet he'd have great stories from all the teams hes been a part of.

[@ovis2375]

Damn this is some smart mf. Hope to see him back to top cs.

[@jameswebb907]

easily one of the most eloquent and interesting guests to be on this show!

[@polymorphistYT]

Became a bit more of a hampus and Bleed fan watching this. Will be rooting for them to make the next major for sure

[@wraethcs2]

great interview, so much insight into NIP

[@Kaiser_Johan]

Great interview! Hampus has a great sense of humour

[@jonaseriksson218]

Awesome interview! Thanks for keeping up the great work. Let’s hope we can get a Swedish top 5 team again sometime soon :)

[@joao.ribeiro]

Good interview and great honest answers by hampus

[@turkeyman631]

If NA can scrounge up enough players for 2 tier one teams, Sweden should be able to. It's honestly mind boggling how long we have been without a competitive Swedish team.

[@xlgapelsin6173]

Well NA has 30 times swedens population

[@chombers]

Liquid and Col combined have 5 NA players.

[@anzlBlaa]

well sweden is little bit more bigger than finland, and last actually competent finish lineup was ence. Havu and jano strugglinh to get into even some decent tournaments. So my point, finland is struggling behind aleksib and jimmphat a lot too.

[@xlgapelsin6173]

@@anzlBlaa Sweden has round about twice finlands population. And let's not even mention norway here since Rain is hard carrying norway and has been basically the entire csgo-cs2 era. We nordics are struggling

[@MaxSoininen]

Sweden had technological advantages for ages. That gap is closed and our small population is starting to show.

This is wild, that management is terrible. But Thorin let me tell you that, it's one of your best interviews that i have ever watched.

[@Tjompa7]

Dont drink every time these two say ”like”

[@dalt0n]

REZ sounds like a good person and a good teammate thats good to see w/ all the hate on socials

[@everything-has-a-handle-now]

Hampus is great would love to see him on on the LFN shows some time

[@polymorphistYT]

Does anyone have an idea which team hampus could've been talking about at the end creating a swedish lineup? Preasy? Flyquest?

[@csnoob02]

it's so mental how all of these things keep happening and the NiP management keeps laughing it away lmao such incompetence is just unseen till this day almost in all of esports history.

[@scapegoat4]

30:30 >they signed es3tag on the premise that he learns Swedish (he legit doesn't know a lick of it) >he didn't start within 3-4 months the pric3tag meme has only gotten sweeter over time man, wtf...

[@Bmwjonte]

Woooow! and another smash on NIPs management fingers! But Jonas has left the building, DJL also, Hopefully with the new coach XIZT, NIP can climbed again!

[@Vitoco410]

Hampus mentioned there still are some people there making poor management, so hopefully if they get out, maybe NiP can have a chance winning something

[@thomasglas3613]

Straight fire interview.

[@twixy..therianz]

I knew this was going to be good!

[@juanme555]

Man...Jonas was a total cowboy.

[@djedgenryusai]

if G2 decide to bench Hooxi i would love to see this guy in G2 , i think he's great fit.

[@polymorphistYT]

It seems like to be on the very top you need to go international as a team. To be like very decent like 5th - 20th, national teams can be a viable option. I would love to see NiP be swedish and top 10 again. The same way I would love to see BIG be top 10 again

[@PrestonWatching]

After this hampus burned all the bridges to be sponsored by razer in the future, but I respect the honesty. I am already cheering for Bleed, but now I am starting to be a hampus fan as well.

[@twixy..therianz]

he do use the deathadder though

"the joke is, and no joke" - thorin 2024

[@63alkash]

11:50 Well ,to be fair, you were 8-1 leading before that round, and 8-2 after, so I can't say it was THE round that had the most impact.

[@David_Logr]

maybe it had a big mental impact

[@NANOTECHYT]

Was he saying Nasu was 'paycheck stealing'? Or was I mistaken and he meant someone else?

[@GraspingsquareTV]

It sounds like it

[@averyhall5527]

Yes Nasu

[@schmeed0000]

100%

[@schmeed0000]

holy hell what a banger

[@BillEngwall]

Around @27:00 Hampus says "Device was possibly not happy with someone who is not in NIP anymore, maybe one of the reason he left" Who was it? :O

[@e1tuomas]

jonas "calc" gundersen

[@adamthornqvist6000]

Holy shit Nip was a dumpster fire:D

[@boegfettot]

I will backup Hampus any day, on any team, always. My favorite IGL of all time!

[@joacimjeppsson4952]

If you ever manage an interview with REZ you need to cut together the gundersen files from hampus, k0nfig etc. and just make that a video.

[@greendonkey3133]

Ayyeee love hampus!

[@jianchen7450]

2024 is the year of revelation indeed

[@emanueljohansson4895]

That would be a banger lineup. Thoguh maybe maxter instead of nilo.

[@alarik95]

Any clue who Hampus is referring to at 26:35?

[@kwallin8136]

Jonas Gundersen

[@mxt77]

26:40 who is it? someone who was in managment or the roster?

[@bunkgod]

another banger

[@em34ev3r]

and why would anyone ever ever want to play for NIP.

[@herlocksholme7]

How it comes that in 2024 there are no timestamps in the video? Unacceptable

[@alfredssonviktor]

Take a shot every time Hampus says ”like”.💀💀💀

[@davidedlund2141]

I really hope we get to see hampus+nilo atleast sometime. Hampus has always been a fantastic player, nice to hear from him. I am not shocked about what he said, but man... fuck NiP.

[@LMLMLMLMmmm]

why is the background the BP logo ?

[@laurentiumocacoca175]

Is he talking about Launx when he say that someone didn't sign up for the Open Qual?

[@sonchofu]

it was cypher iirc, and he did sign up but it was too late as the max team limit for the qual had already been reached

[@montadar1]

Man I really feel bad for Hampus. Brollan was my favourite player for a long time in Fnatic and many people were so eager to have him signed. I know he kind of flopped but I can't put all the blame on Brollan. Yes he underperformed but he had so many role clashes and had to play awkward positions which made him look like an average player. If Jonas would've listened to Hampus and if somehow (in another universe) Device would come back I seriously believe NIP would win/qualify for many more S-tier tournaments. They came far with a Young ninja and it got totally destroyed with signing of Head1trick, K0nfig and the return of Esetag

[@keunekeune]

This episode is actual fire 😂 So much interesting BTS information

[@em34ev3r]

IMAGINE trying to take all sticker money proceedings from your own player (NAWK) who you decided to sell of to another organization. SMH. You can't make this up.

[@mehow2g]

It's hard to believe that hampus is Swedish with how direct he speaks, wow this is a great one, it confirms the obvious, NiP is an absolute joke and they are doing the same mistakes with their latest signing. I still cannot believe their twiiter post "you are right, time for a change" wtf is this?? Respect hampus we need people like you.

[@LeffeärHemlös]

26:48 who is the guy? that got fired.

[@indiemoans]

Is this uploaded onto Spotify?

[@yungzed]

LOL 1:00:00 k0nfig left hampus on read after he got benched

[@Cohizzzle]

Who's he refering to when mentioning that Devve didn't want to come back because of one person?

[@AlbinoJesus]

calc

[@cd2194]

news: hampus talks about kassad with his girlfriend, maybe kassad is actually esports?
