NiP today announced the addition of, recently retired player, pita to their team in the form of a strategy adviser via their Facebook page.

NiP join the ranks of Titan, fnatic and their first ESL One opponent Indian Wolf as teams who have recruited coaches previously, and seem to be benefiting from them. This may help NiP get back to the top after disappointing G3 results.

On their Facebook page NiP gave the following statement:

“We would like to give a warm welcome to our latest recruit Faruk “Pita” Pita. He will act as a Strategy Advicer for our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team, with his knowledge of being a in-game leader in the past he will be the perfect match for our team to develop and take the game to another level. His first event as a Strategy Advicer will be at Gamescom so look forward to some high level tactics from NiP at Gamescom!”

Pita will be traveling to ESL One Cologne later today in time for his first match as NiP’s strategy adviser tomorrow at 9am.
