Nikola "NiKo" Kovač (born February 16, 1997) is a Bosnian professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and former Counter-Strike 1.6 player. NiKo got very popular within the community after his impressive performances for mousesports, especially during ESEA Season 18 where he showed his incredible aim and game sense at such young age. He currently plays the role of a in-game-leader and entry-fragger for FaZe Clan. He is also the cousin of huNter-.
FaZe opened 2020 with a bang, having successfully qualified for the prestigious IEM Katowice tournament, taking place at the end of February. The squad recently concluded their first series of BLAST Premier Spring, where they successfully managed to best NiP in a straightforward 2-0, taking both Overpass and Mirage with convincing scorelines.
During media day HLTV sat down with NiKo to talk about some of the issues the squad was experiencing towards the end of 2019, including their poor showing at BLAST Pro Series Global Final and the reasons behind it. We later learned about the adjustments the team had made over the break, and why Helvijs "broky" Saukants now finds himself AWPing on the T side of maps over Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer.
Your last tournament of 2019, BLAST Pro Series Global Final, was a bitter end to the year as you finished last. What was the period after the event like for the team? What did you discuss?
The BLAST Pro Series Global Final didn't really work out for us, we hoped for better results. We showed some good things against Liquid, and even though we lost the match, we felt like we were really close to winning it. It was still a really disappointing result, especially after Pro League, where we failed. We thought that at BLAST Pro Series Global Final we really had to step up and show a way better result, but we didn't.
After the event, we immediately knew what our biggest problems were, and mostly it was our attitudes going into the game. We weren't as hyped at the BLAST Pro Series Global Final as we were when we played IEM Shanghai, it didn't feel like we went into the match with much energy. We didn't really celebrate the rounds; we were winning, but it was just handshakes and stuff, it didn't feel like we were hyped. That was a big issue for us that event, and that's what we are trying to work on - trying to maintain the same energy and level for every match that we play. It's what we worked on in both of the bootcamps, we tried to practice in a way where we would have fun all the time, joke around and keep a good mood in the team. That's the biggest thing we've worked on since the BLAST Pro Series Global Final.

On a more positive note, you had a spectacular showing at the European closed qualifier for IEM Katowice 2020, where you surpassed ARCY and ENCE on your way to qualifying. Presumably, this result was a reflection of your preparation and bootcamp beforehand - how did you manage such a convincing showing?
We just felt comfortable playing. The bootcamp went really well, we had a five-day bootcamp before it. Everyone was hungry because we came back straight from vacation and we obviously really wanted to get a spot in Katowice, we didn't want to miss out on it. We came there with full energy and good preparation and, as I said, the biggest reason why it went so smooth was because we had really good energy in the team. It didn't matter that we had a close game against ARCY, we still managed to close it out.
I've never had a good experience with qualifiers, it's always hard playing them, especially when you're playing against underdogs or you feel like you have to win. You really have to take it as seriously as you do when you play an event. We did what we had to do, and I'm happy that we qualified.
