Ninjas in Pyjamas (often abbreviated to NIP and previously NiP) is a Swedish esports organization which was founded in 2000. The team competed in Counter-Strike until their dissolution in 2007. In 2012, the team returned with a now heavily renowned Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squad and have branched out in a large variety of games.
History[edit]
Ninjas in Pyjamas entered Valorant in the closed beta with the signing of their former European Paladins World Championship winning roster. The roster shortly fell apart after a total of two months, with the organization opting to rebuild entirely with rhyme.
