Die Ninjas in Pyjamas, die bisher vor allem durch ihr Counter Strike Team Popularität erlangen konnten, verkündeten vor kurzem, dass sie von nun an auch in die Dota 2-Szene einsteigen wollen. Sie haben somit das Lineup von LAJONS, dem schwedischen Team, übernommen und werden bald bei großen Turnieren unter den Namen NiP spielen.
Die Ninjas in Pyjamas werden morgen um 06:00 Uhr in der Früh ihren ersten Auftritt unter dem neuen Namen haben. In der zweiten Saison der i-leauge erwartet sie im Viertelfinale das chinesische Team LGD Gaming. In der offiziellen Ankündigung wurden außerdem einige Statements genannt, welche ihr hier nachlesen könnt.
Statement Per Lilliefelth – CEO NiP
We continue on our path to build an eSport powerhouse based in the Nordics. Swedish and Scandinavian eSports have always been successful and in the frontline of development in the world of Gaming. We are proud to see that so many eSport-stars want to join the NiP colors and represent us on the global scene. I’m personally impressed with the players in Lajons who have come so far without any backing at all. Now we will do everything in our power to give them the best possible conditions to grow with the NiP organisation
Statement Emil ‚HeatoN‘ Christensen
NiP is the oldest and biggest eSports team in northern Europe and we felt it was time to once again enter another discipline than CS:GO where we have been dominating the scene for so long. Dota is the perfect eSports title for us to work with and we will be in this for the long run. I am looking forward to seeing where this lineup can take us, and I put my faith in Era (and the boys) to lead the way.
Statement Adrian ‚Era‘ Kryeziu
We are proud to have been given this tremendous opportunity. To play under the Ninjas in Pyjamas banner is a boyhood dream for all of us. We will show that Sweden is to trust when it comes to big championships and tournaments in Dota 2. Our journey as Ninjas will start in China where we jump in to the Ileague Finals. After that you can see us in the Starladder finals in Kiev Ukraine. 2015 is our year, the year of the Ninjas.
