NIP part ways with isak

NIP are down to two players on the starting roster.

Ninjas in Pyjamas have announced they are parting ways with Isak "⁠isak⁠" Fahlén, bringing the Swede's eight-month tenure to an end.

The move comes after a HLTV report that stated Ninjas in Pyjamas were planning a complete overhaul, with Artem "⁠r1nkle⁠" Moroz set to be the only player to remain in a new roster led by Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer.

isak joined Ninjas in Pyjamas in May 2024 after a three-year stint in GamerLegion, completing a revamp of the squad that began in February. The 23-year-old enjoyed some early LAN success with Ninjas in Pyjamas, outplacing the likes of Eternal Fire and HEROIC to bag second-place at YaLLa Compass and hit 16th place in the world ranking.

Otherwise Ninjas in Pyjamas achieved little of note during isak's time with the team, most-recently failing to qualify for Perfect World Shanghai Major. The roster struggled at lesser LAN events like Elisa Masters Espoo, failed to make much headway in tier-two online competitions, and slid to outside the top 30 of the world ranking over isak's tenure.

Ninjas in Pyjamas are now:

Gareth "⁠MisteM⁠" Ries
Artem "⁠r1nkle⁠" Moroz

Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström (coach)

Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet (benched)
Max "⁠maxster⁠" Jansson (benched)
