friberg open to North America move

Ninjas in Pyjamas member Adam "friberg" Friberg has admitted that he is receptive to the idea of furthering his career in North America.

The 25-year-old said in an interview with Richard Lewis that he will only agree to move to North America if he receives an offer from a team that he "really believes in" and that can "bring home titles".

Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg is currently considering his options after stepping down from Ninjas in Pyjamas's active roster earlier this month to make way for Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner, who joined the team from Epsilon.

friberg does not close the door on a move to North America

He remains contracted to Ninjas in Pyjamas, which means that he would have to be bought out of his contract to be able to join another team. Should he decide to hang up his mouse, Ninjas in Pyjamas are willing to offer him a position within the organisation.

During his time with Ninjas in Pyjamas, friberg won several international tournaments, most notably the ESL One Cologne 2014 Major. His last offline event for Ninjas in Pyjamas was cs_summit, where the team finished 5th-6th.

Honestly, C9 are in better need of an IGL at the moment rather then someone like Friberg. -Shroud, +Daps or +FNS IMO

A lot of things go into roster moves other than the factors you mentioned. Teammate compatibility, morale in current team, etc. That's why tryouts are held, and especially for a in game leader, personality in the team matters

daps is hardly washed up, frags better than shroud and has ore in depth tactics than stewie. anyway adding friberg over shroud makes the team better, even if it isnt the best solution it is steps in the right direction

shroud is in a bit of a slump, but Friberg would bring sooooo much experience to the team... not to mention European experience... i think it would be a good move

I think you overvalue friberg's experience. friberg's experience comes from winning a lot of tournaments before other teams got good and adapted, which is a couple of years ago now. friberg's experience isn't really that much of a value for c9 worth risking unless he has mad skills - which he does not have I'm afraid.
2017-06-23 04:29

experience meaning time in the pro scene... he's been around for a looooong time and he's been involved with all different types of strategies he will bring so much outside knowledge to a NA team, whether or not he's been performing well recently
2017-06-23 16:35
3 replies
You need to be more specific. How will friberg's experience benefit C9? In what way? Being involved with all different types of strategies doesn't mean he knows how to deal with all types of strategies, and not necessarily better than the C9 members. So I think you overvalue friberg's experience too much here. I think if you put friberg in a tier 2 NA team, his experience will shine through, but not necessarily in the top 3 teams (NA).
2017-06-23 17:45
2 replies
why do i need to be more anything? friberg has been in the european CS pro scene for a very long time and was actually involved in some of the core strategies and methodologies that are still in play right now.. his knowledge and experience will help any NA team that he goes and works for (if he decides to go to NA at all) i don't care if his skill level has been lackluster lately, we're talking about a player who has been in the scene since like the beginning...
2017-06-23 17:55
1 reply
You need to be more specific because you are just speculating. You are saying friberg is soooo valuable for C9 instead of shroud because of his experience, even when his skill has been lackluster. I disagree with that, and my point is that friberg's experience won't be enough to compete with shroud, because friberg's experience contains playing poorly the last 3 years.

I aint saying it was a good move. I just figured Liquid are pretty happy with their team rn, c9 built their team on streamers and vloggers, i dont think friberg has the personality for that. Also dont see him going to some tier 5000 na shithole team. So if he's going to NA its probs OpTic, they need a 5th. Maybe friberg try IGL, maybe they will create a fnatic style loose play team
2017-06-22 20:29
its most likely... because they already have a european(M1xwell) and they were friendly in fpl so friberg would be less scared to join. also dont they have a team house. which is perfect for an out of country person. I mean how lonely would it be to live alone and play cs. (jk thats me) but I think clg - cutler +friberg might be inc think fns dedicated IGL-- we know friberg performs in a system koosta- everyone loves good guy koosta nahte- young talent rickeh- wildcard friberg- very experienced headstrong player

you seem pretty out of the loop - Liquid have no individual weakness talent-wise on their team right now (though nitr0 has fallen off big time). Hazed has never been on Liquid... Pimp is back in EU... Hiko has had a .88 rating 2.0 for 2017 on LAN, and was actually NEVER a playmaker. Basically the opposite role as Friberg.

Let me correct some things for you. Mixwell is not an awper, he doesn't want to awp, he said it in his interview. He just is the best awper in Optic so he has to take the role. ChrisJ has not been the main awper in Mouz after getting benched and coming back. He is fine being the 2nd awper. That leaves Oskar to be the main awper.

I'm getting better and better every event and hopefully I'll be one of the best ones in the world soon.

lol they probably let him go to try and make more money from the cash cow because they know he'll have to be bought out. he's a fucking dead weight on any team, he isn't in a position to be picky about who he goes to, everyone is laughing at his comment about only a team who can bring home titles.

Was about to be mad, then i saw your flag i thought "-Oh, deadweight, like any UK player in the history of csgo!" The reason friberg is such a great player is because he can play about any position on any map (not awp positions). I also believe Friberg would be alot better with a new team if he gets motivated. Motivation was obviously a problem in NiP.

one of the sad thing about hltv is that, if there is any news about any player/team that isn't tier 1 at this day and age, people either hate on them, talk shit on them, or just don't give a fuck about them at all... I honestly think friberg is still a legend despite his current situation, just like Richard Lewis said in his videos, and i hope Adam doesnt really hang up his mouse anytime soon, even if it means seeing him play for a tier 2 or tier 3 team i'd support him all the way cuz he still wants to play CS.

"The beginning" NiP was the only team that out in hundreds of hours more then anyone else so their beginning success is the most over rated in the history of sport. Its like they basically could have invented the game played together for ages then let everyone else start playing. So if you call someone a legend for doing that??? That's not legend. That's an easy path to success. Not a legendary way to do it lol. And when competition finally caught up and the game got hard he couldn't keep up and was never good enough to compete with the big boys. So if you call this been a legend then you can use it on a fuck load of players that didn't have an easy path to success lol

I would rather see him in EU team than in NA, or just hang around and stream. If he'd like to join NA team only reasonable choice right now is optic. C9 will be stuck with bots forever and friburger is not solution for them anyway. And fns leaving CLG would be very discutable move (or bad if you will), probably as bad as stan leaving optic. CLG are currently quite good lookin like optic was while ago (before stan left). Look at optic AND liquid now. Both just... NA team ^^

Niko talks about his rating. Top players care about rating because when they reach the top then that is something else to play for as their ambitions are different to lower players who strive for other things like their team just making playoffs. Don't comment on something you don't know about and act like a boss about it lol. New kid calling people New kids. What a fkn joke Edit: sign up 2016. Why do i even bother LOL.

2017-06-22 18:28
While the post-major shuffle will probably create openings in North America, a lot of players in Fribergs position should dab their toe into calling. ... the demand far exceeds the supply in Best America. There aren't many teams in NA that are close to winning titles and need a player who fits Fribergs role.
2017-06-22 18:34
People who say shit about friberg, probably didnt saw him in 2k 13, 14 and even 15. So, you dont know shit and you cant say shit. Those who saw him and still say shit, are just retarded. Expexting that someone can be beast all the time, is retarded. As Richard Lewis said, Friberg was so good that the only way was to fall.

yep, welcome to CS:GO where every organisation wants a team, no matter how awful they are and how little titles they win and money are no problem.

WTF. Why you are sayig -shroud you idiots? he is fucking support player. He always go first, tries to kill someone if he doesnt his team mates kilm them, because they know where are they. Support player must be the bottom fragger, he gives flashes for team. Like, watch fucking his demos, look at his crosshair, he is fucking machine, he flicks so fast and accurate, crosshair always on headshot level. One problem about shroud is, he is unlucky, just watch the demos. always caught trought the smoke or timing, or wallbanged that sucks.

What NA-team in their right mind would get a washed up euro player who can't compete on individual skill level with any of the newer players anymore? :()

The point of academy teams is they generally consist of younger talents who are up and comers, you just listed 2 washed ups 2 inconsistent guys and 1 young, up and coming player

the Academy part was a joke ofc. But the team is decent enough, with ScreaM and valde bringing the firepower, along with a decent awper, igl and entry

Honestly I can't comprehend why people suddenly start cheering for him to join one of the better NA teams. He doesn't deserve that, he was good back in the day but is absolute dogshit right now. He would drag Liquid, C9 or Optic down heavy. He's far from an intelligent stratcaller. He's just a mediocre or even below average entryfragger, which isn't somethinng the NA teams need right now. Only reason why teams would maybe wanna pick him up is because he has a large fanbase and brings in views, sponsors and merch sales. He should either join a team like Red Reserve in europe or something like splyce, misfits or complexity if he wants to go to NA. C9, Liquid or Optic are too good for him.

Basically friberg realized he is a bot and hes looking to make some ez dolla in NA just like an eu footballer like messi turns 38 and he becomes useless in the tier1 scene so he goes in qatar to play for an irrelevant team and get 100 million dolla / year doing nothing .

I would say is better for him to retire and be part of NIP forever in a great position into organization and start working for the company while he do streaming etc.
