The academy graduate will miss the tournament due to health reasons.

maxster will not be traveling to Finland

Ninjas in Pyjamas have announced that they will play Elisa Masters Espoo, set to take place from October 16-20, without Max "⁠maxster⁠" Jansson due to an "unforeseen health emergency." Academy player Jacob "⁠jocab⁠" Nerheden will replace the 20-year-old for the duration of the tournament.

Elisa Masters Espoo 2024 teams, format, schedule, prizes, talent, fantasy

Ninjas in Pyjamas were supposed to debut under the leadership of Gareth "⁠MisteM⁠" Ries at the Finnish event after the South African was promoted from the academy team to replace Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet, but will now need to wait until the RMR to make their first international LAN appearance with their full roster.

jocab has been a member of Young Ninjas since January and averaged a 1.09 rating during his tenure, helping the team reach the semi-finals of RES Regional Series 1 Europe and Thunderpick World Championship 2024 EU Closed Qualifier 2.

He also recently stood in for the main team in CCT Season 2 Europe Series 13 against ECSTATIC, where the majority-Swedish squad suffered a 0-2 loss.

Ninjas in Pyjamas have been put into Group A at the Finnish tournament alongside The MongolZ, B8, and Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli's JANO, with their best-of-one opening match coming against the Ukrainian side.

B8 going to 13-0

Benched surely.

btw since you are the MOUZ NXT guy, is Cliqq actually the IGL or is it Jorko

2024-10-14 19:50

I believe it's actually jorko now! I was fully sold on the idea of it being cliqq as he originally applied to navi visa as an IGL. but it seems jorko is.

2024-10-14 19:52

jorko Bulgarian Jame confirmed

2024-10-14 19:54

jocab subbed for maxster earlier due to maxster "crashing" now there's a "sudden health emergency" and jocab subs again? Is this dude cursed? Inb4 its an Astralis benching situation.

2024-10-16 04:05

How low this org has fallen, I feel sorry for all the current and former NIP fans. I used to be one in the now long long past too. They feel like a joke at this point, yes unfortunate things can happen but with NIP it happens ALL the time.
