nexa's Replacement
On February 15, it was announced that nexa had temporarily left OG's main roster, and his place was taken by former organization player niko. As stated in the press release, the roster changes were due to personal reasons for Isakovic, but they look more like a management decision. More on this can be read in the article. Kristensen serves as captain, and together with him, the team qualified for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
Of course, it feels great being on OG right now for me. I think generally speaking I would like to find a permanent home to play Counter-Strike. OG would be a great place to play permanently, but I also respect that they are trying to figure out the best possible scenario for them.Nikolaj niko Kristensen

Future of niko
As the esports player shared, he is happy with his performance in OG, but still would like to find a permanent team. At the moment, niko is uncertain about his future and much depends on the team's performance at the last major in the history of CS:GO.
I have no information on what the current situation is with nexa and what plans OG has for the future. I’m still a stand-in and understand that for the time being I am playing as that while doing everything I can to help the team succeed.
Yup, I’ll be playing for OG during the Major. We will keep practising and preparing like we are already doing. The more experience we get as a roster the more comfortable we will be, going up against the best teams in the world.Nikolaj niko Kristensen
