Nikola Kovač had something to say to the players who complain about the current conditions and the chances of weaker teams to reach the best tournaments.
I like how some people are saying that we are PRIVILIGED and LUCKY to be part of all Tier1 events, and that Tier2/3 teams have to grind so hard to get there.< /p> — NiKo (@G2NiKo) April 14, 2023
He criticized all players and fans who say that players from top organizations are privileged because they get direct invitations to most of the top tournaments during the calendar year. He reminded them of the times when he was making his way on the scene, how then there weren't as many smaller tournaments as there are today, various platforms like FACEIT where young players today can prove themselves through FPL, and thus players who stillš they are not at the top, today they have much more opportunities to show themselves and prove that they deserve a step higher than what was the case before.
You motherfuckers don’t even know what the real GRIND is, I have been grinding my whole life to get where I am today. I have been grinding when there was no online qualifiers every 2nd week, no Tier2 events to prove yourself anywhere, no faceit or whatever.

Since CS:GO came out,NiKo has only played a total of nineteen matches in the šsix months spent in iNation, and whoever is a little older and remembers how it used to be, will agree with our best player. If anyone deserved to be at the top with his work and talent, it is him.
Nowadays there are so many opportunities to prove yourself, so many different platforms, qualifiers and t2 events DAILY. And you still cry how hard it is to get in Tier1 event.

What is your opinion, are today's players spoiled, and ungrateful for how much the esports scene has progressed since Nikola was just building his career?
