Ninjas In Pyjamas Return

Posted by Myers at 22:20 1/1/2005.

Those of you currently in the #nip channel will have noticed an announcement made concerning the reformation of the team. The SK-Gaming Swedish CS division, ranked by Gotfrag as the world's top team, have reformed Ninjas in Pyjamas. In their heyday NiP were legendary, winning countless online and offline competitions, however in June 02 upon learning that they did not have the funds to attend the Summer CPL 2002 event, HeatoN, Pott1 and Xeqtr left the team for SK.sca. A team which went through many changes over the next year whilst succeeding at the highest levels in the game.

All of the former SK-Gaming Swedish Counter-Strike lineup (ahl, Fisker, HeatoN, Hyper, Pott1, Spawn) have stuck together for the changeover. As of yet no sponsors or management have been announced, although Gamers.nu were able to grab an interview with HeatoN. Expect an English translation shortly.

He can't do much except offer them new contracts, but they would probably have to be improved a bit if they were to accept them. Something tells me he'll have some sort of backup plan for this situation anyway, whatever it might be. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

My expert analysis of why they left and why SK did not want to renew their contracts was the fact HeanoN and co didnt want to play Source... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

they plan to attend cpl tour stops, which is CS:S so that would mean they will play it [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Where does it state that the CPL World Tour destinations will feature Counter-Strike Source tournaments? I was under the impression only the 2005 Summer Championship would have Source as an event game. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

NiP-HeatoN : We haven't made up our minds about that yet, but if the Pro-mode for CS:S will be out then, we will most likely go for Source.

Im thought all this hype over NiP reforming was crap, seems like its gonna be a reality, what ever next though, someone gonna reform eoLithic, and steal all the NoA players... its a bit mad if u ask me, mind u, 4 of NoA are ex eoLithic players so anything could happen... wouldn't it be great to see them two fighting it out in the Got frag rankings for the top spot. CS seems to be becoming interesting again :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
