Insiders have reported that Daniil headtr1ck Valitov has been announced as part of the NIP for BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023.

Dexerto reported that NIP has announced headtr1ck to the main squad for BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023. This means that the club is in the final stages of signing a contract with the player, or he has already been signed. We remind you that earlier NIP excluded Patrick es3tag Hansen from the roster.

Who Is Headtr1ck?

Headtr1ck is a NAVI Academy graduate who has spent three years there. Sniper started his career with the youngest NAVI Youth roster, showed progress, and continued to perform at the highest level in NAVI Junior. Last year, he proved to the club that he was ready for the tier-1 stage and was put up for transfer.

His statistics prove his success: headtr1ck has an average rating of 7. He consistently shows a good level of performance in all matches. He will become the fourth player from the NAVI academy who moved to the tier-1 team.

What to Expect From NIP at BLAST Premier Spring Groups?

With the signing of headtr1ck, NIP solved its primary problem in 2022. After Nikolai dev1ce Rydtz went inactive at the beginning of 2022, the team was left with a sniper, whom they could not find for the entire past year.

At first, es3tag assumed to sign dev1ce, but the Dane was not up to the task, after which Hampus hampus Poser shuffled the roles in the team, and Fredrik REZ Sterner took the sniper rifle. He performed much better but was still not a perfect AWPer, as he felt insecure.

Now, NIP has finally found a good player. After the signing of headtr1ck, the team will have an excellent sniper, a good captain Aleksi Aleksib Virolainen, and three excellent shooters: hampus, REZ, and Ludwig Brollan Brolin. As a result, this lineup may become one of the best in the first half of 2023.

Therefore, NIP can be expected to pass the BLAST groups and perform well at IEM Katowice 2023. However, all this will be possible only if headtr1ck is allowed to show his skills in the new team.
