One of Ninjas in Pyjamas core players is leaving the team

It appears that one of Ninjas in Pyjamas best Counter-Strike players of all time is leaving, after the organization announced a change in its roster following the disappointing results at recent events.

Ninjas in Pyjamas announced friberg’s departure earlier today in light of the team’s poor performances and event absences. Friberg will be replaced on NiP’s active roster by Fredrik ”REZ” Sterner, who was on Epsilon Esports. With this change, REZ will be reunited with his old teammate, William “draken” Sundin.

NiP’s roster now includes REZ, draken, Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg, Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund, and Richard “Xizt” Landström. The “core” has now shrunk from four to three: f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, and Xizt. This core had notoriety for replacing only the fifth player of the roster, which occurred to Mikail “Mailelele” Bill, Aleksi “allu” Jalli, and Jacob “pyth” Mourujärvi.

friberg established himself as a Counter-Strike legend, winning over 30 championships in Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Friberg won a major title at ESL Cologne 2014 with NiP and had four second-place finishes at DreamHack Winter 2013, ESL Katowice 2014, DreamHack Winter 2014, and ESL Katowice 2015.

We don’t know where friberg will go next, but we wish him best of luck.
