k0nfig told about his first matches with NiP: «I have no clue what's up and down, I'm just here right now»

The transfer of k0nfig to NiP is a result of a series of events that took place during BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023. Firstly, Wienecke was not allowed to play as a stand-in for FaZe Clan, and then Hampus hampus Poser took a break from the competitive scene. Without hesitation, the Swedish club signed a contract with the most desired free agent of the pro-scene.

Yes, it came like the day after or something, or two days after. We had to talk contract and all that stuff and I went to talk to Troels [Robl, NIP's Performance Director] and Daniel [djL]. It was a little bit hectic to get into this team because we have had like four practices in total coming into this tournament. I have half a stratbook, they have shown me some stuff, I have no clue what the fuck's going on, I don't know callouts, I don't know anything. We are playing a little bit basic CS, but I'm trying to make the boys comfortable.

Wieneke clarified that the team still has a lot to discuss and work out.

I think we need to have more discussions about it because someone has to pick up the anchor and lurk positions and someone has to take some star roles. It's just important that we figure out where people fit best. I feel like NIP is a brand new team right now because they have headtr1ck and they just got Brollan and Aleksi as well, and then they have me, and REZ is the only last standing NIP player. We are treating it as a brand new team, but of course they still have tactics from when Aleksi joined the first time.
