NiP Folds?

Posted by ryano at 14:10 14/6/2002.

Amazingly, number one clan in the world Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) look to have folded. Reasons for this possible fold are still sketchy but as the IRC topic states Potti, Heaton and XeqtR have all left for BDS's SK.sca.
Topic on #nip is: ( Potti, HeatoN, XeqtR joins SK.sca - more info comming || NiP on ice) - (181) chars remaining!
[14:09:00] ::: Set by: (h0n1g) on (Friday, June 14 14:01:41 2002)
For the official statement from SK.sca check out this. I managed to catch BDS for a quick question in an obviously busy time for him:
How long has this been in the works and should we be expecting to see sk.sca lifting the cpl finals crown this year?

[bds]: We have been discussing this for a long time, I want stuff like this to be planned properly and now it was time to make it official. Our goal is of course to place top, but the team is new. We will do our best.

Does this have anything to do with BDS' resignation as head of Geekboys? Who is now world number 1? All questions that I'm sure will be revealed sooner rather than later.

I'd say GoL for right now.

SK.sca will be good after a few months and I'm guessing their team is going to be:
bds, potti, heaton, xeqtr, xenon and niree?

any other guesses? :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

That's really f***ed scream and dracula over, cause noway matrix are gonna let them back in.

SK.sca very good chance of winning the CPL now then. Gonna be very good, btu what's gonna be even better is what happens at the scandinavian cpl qualifiers which will see nordic, gol, matrix, sk.sca, and perhaps a quickly formed new NiP?

Seems like a mistake to me though :( Gotta feel sorry for g3x as well, putting in all that work to setup NiP's business side, and now all his effort has been for nothing. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

NiP have a lot of credibility and I'm sure they'll be able to poach some players quickly.

But who compares to the three that have quit really? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Didnt u see the reason game between gol and nordic tho khaos?
Nordic got crushed :(And then not long ago Matrix destroyed GoL.....so like i said, scandinavian cpl quals will be quality, but could end up with not 1 of the world champions playing in Dallas, unless of course they hop to what ever team wins. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i thought bds actually played.

what do they mean by "We are now preparing some tough internal sessions to see who will play in the core-team. "

Only 1 person will be cut then?
Or are they gonna just make a team of 5? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think GoL are alot better now though dart, and imprving more and more by the day, like you say, we shall see at the CPL. another thing i think is quite funny was G3Xs campaining to try and make the cs community more mature, saying people shouldnt flame, and shouldnt clan hop, this would help serious companies take a serious interest, seems like not even his own clan listenend to him :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

And if Medion did return he'd most likely join up with SK.sca imo.

Annnd GoL seem the most impressive atm, but with Nordic and matrix performing even better than ever LA7 and CPL Summer is gonna be close as f*** [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

My own personal views on this is that gaming becoming a proper industry has taken a step backwards, but for cs being fun its taken a leap forwards. Things are a bit more evenly spread than they were before and the dominance of NiP finally now has come to an end, possibly Scream and Dracula will go their seperate ways. I mean whose gunna say no if they ask to join bar matrix [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Genics, the amount of times these scandinavian teams spend in lan cafes, they'll easilly have enough practice for the CPL.
And final was close cause it was X3's best map, usa cpl's always use it in final, so they were very trained on it. Didnt you see nip vs x3 on train, NiP walked it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Matrix's feelings towards them arent gonna be exactly welcoming.
They've got a solid team that's been doing well, they dont want to mess things up to take them back.
If Infinity had died after i had joined, noc would have laughed if i'd tried to rejoin....look at it that way, and it's pretty certain they wont be back in matrix. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The funniest thing about this situation is slayer....
He was in geekboys, but chose to leave in search of glory hunting for a better team, and of course he has aim better than heaton, and pott1 asks him to join all the time. Now, if he'd satyed with geekboys, his dream would have come true and he'd be in the same team as them. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Well they can easilly rebuild a team, there's enough quality players around to poach he would be glad to play under that team. NiP would be good, but not as good as the other scandi teams if they were.
Most players would be attracted tho, NiP has all the sponsorship a team needs. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
