Sources: alex set to join NIP
The Spaniard will lead in English for the first time when he takes the reins of NIP.

Ninjas in Pyjamas's search for an in-game leader is nearing its end, as they are on the verge of securing the services of Alejandro "alex" Masanet from Movistar Riders to take over the position left vacant after the team's previous IGL, Hampus "hampus" Poser, was benched.

alex was initially going to stay in the Madrid-based side until the expiry of his contract at the end of the year, but a deal has been cut to expedite the process. Agreements have been reached between both of the teams as well as between Ninjas in Pyjamas and the player, and only the final signatures are missing for it to be a done deal.
alex, alongside longtime teammate Alejandro "mopoz" Fernández-Quejo Cano, has been one of Movistar Riders' stalwarts, having donned the blue jersey since 2018. The 27-year-old took up in-game leadership in 2021, when the IGL at the time, Lucas "steel" Lopes, was cut from the team.
The native of Alicante, Spain, was a key player in the jinetes breaking out on the international scene after the Covid pandemic. During his time at the helm, Movistar Riders qualified for their first and only Major, PGL Stockholm, and their first Big Event, ESL Pro League Season 17.
At their apogee, that Movistar Riders side reached the IEM Cologne 2022 semifinals, after which star AWPer Álvaro "SunPayus" García moved to ENCE. Now, alex has become the second player from that side to make the jump to a top international team.
Ninjas in Pyjamas have recently been undergoing changes in management with Björn "THREAT" Pers returning as a General Manager, and will hope that the Spaniard can provide a breath of fresh air for a side that has been steadily dropping in the ranking all the way to 27th in the world, where they currently stand.

alex missed the deadline to play at the CS Asia Championships and will not be alongside his new teammates at the event in Shanghai, China, on November 9, but he will be available for the BLAST Premier Fall Final starting on November 22.
Ninjas in Pyjamas will be:
Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke
Patrick "es3tag" Hansen
Fredrik "REZ" Sterner
Daniil "headtr1ck" Valitov
Alejandro "alex" Masanet
Daniel "djL" Narancic (coach)
