Plopski looks back on 2021: I am pretty disappointed in myself

Ninjas in Pyjamas have had their ups and downs this year. But for one player, in particular, 2021 has been lackluster.

After their exit from BLAST World Finals, we talked with NIP's rifler, Nicolas "Plopski" Gonzalez Zamora. The young Swede could not hide his disappointment in the result, losing to Astralis in overtime on Nuke.

- They played well, but I think we lost the match based on our mistakes more, the quick analysis sounded like from Plopski.

BLAST World Finals was the last competitive tournament for the Swedish Ninjas in 2021, which saw them winning IEM Fall while coming second on two occasions at IEM Winter and Flashpoint 3. For Nicolas "Plopski" Gonzalez Zamora though, the year has been his worst rating-wise in his career.

Plopski HLTV rating:

2017: 1.14
2018: 1.11
2019: 1.12
2020: 1.07
2021: 0.99

- It has been a disappointment. I haven't played at the level that I know, that I can. So I would say, that I have been pretty disappointed in myself. But I felt towards the end at least, that I started to play better and better, so it's good for the next year at least.

When asked about the lackluster performances throughout the year, Plopski explains.

- It has been a mixture of position swaps and role changes. I haven't really been the most comfortable in the team as it is. But in the end, I have been more comfortable and tried to be more aggressive like I was when I first joined the team. I played too passive before, and when I play passive and don't do much, I feel like I have no impact, and I just play bad. So I tried to help "hampus" with the mid-round calling and tried to be more involved, so I could also play better myself. I feel like that helped in the end, but obviously, it wasn't enough.

Nicolas "Plopski" Gonzalez Zamora has been a part of NIP since June 2019.
