One month ago, the Swedes from Ninjas in Pyjamas unveiled the transfer of Patrick “es3tag” Hansen, making him the second Dane on the roster together with Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz. The 26-year-old rifler joined an already profiled roster, where especially one NIP teammate has impressed es3tag – That is Fredrik “REZ” Sterner.
We got the chance to speak with es3tag before the start of BLAST Premier World Final, where he explained why REZ is the most skilled player he’s played with, despite having played alongside a myriad of star players at Astralis, Heroic, Complexity, and Cloud9.
– REZ is the most skilled individual player I’ve ever played with aim-wise. He’s just so good. Ever since I joined NIP, he’s been showing up in officials and I just think he’s insane, and I hope he can continue to be as good as he has been lately (…) If you drop REZ a deagle in spawn with no armour no nothing, he can still just get a 5K, es3tag stated.
You can watch the entire interview with es3tag in the video below.
REZ, es3tag and the rest of NIP will commence their BLAST World Final campaign today at 13.30 (CET) in the opening round against G2. You can watch the match right here on Pley.gg.
