susp to stand in for Snappi at PGL Masters Bucharest

The Dane will miss the Romanian event due to "a new addition to the family."

Ninjas in Pyjamas will be without their in-game leader, Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer, at PGL Masters Bucharest and will instead field benched Wildcard rifler Tim "⁠susp⁠" Ångström as a stand-in.

The Dane will miss the event due to "a new addition to the family," and NIP did not specify who would take over leadership duties in his absence. The team is also signed up Fragadelphia Blocktober, set to run from October 2-5.

susp has been absent from competition since being moved to Wildcard's transfer list in July after he was granted a wish to pursue further career opportunities in Europe.

"I’ve taken some time away from competitive play to focus on some irl stuff I had to take care of," the Swede said on X. "Now it’s finally time to get back in action and devote my full attention to my career and the game I love more than anything.

"My plan is to return to a permanent project from January 2026 and I’m currently exploring the market for offers, so please DM me if you want to get in touch. I'm hungry, sharp and motivated as ever and can’t wait to see you on the server."

susp averaged a 1.05 rating over 189 maps in his year-long stint with the American organization, during which the team reached the top-16 stage of the Perfect World Shanghai Major and finished 9-11th in Stage 1 of the BLAST.tv Austin Major.

He will step in for Ninjas in Pyjamas a month after the team's run at StarLadder StarSeries Fall, where they finished runners-up to Natus Vincere in the final.

Ninjas in Pyjamas will play with the following roster at PGL Masters Bucharest:

Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck
Artem "⁠r1nkle⁠" Moroz
Michel "⁠ewjerkz⁠" Pinto
Kacper "⁠xKacpersky⁠" Gabara
Tim "⁠susp⁠" Ångström (stand-in)

Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström (coach)
