NiP (Ninjas In Pyjamas) have just announced that they are parting ways with one of their players, Twist. Here is their announcement:
NiP parting ways with Twist – Why?
In their statement, it is revealed that the main reason for the roster change was due to their recent performances as a team. The Ninjas’ best result in recent months was a 4th placement at DreamHack Open Fall 2020. With such a talented roster, one would expect much better results than what they’ve delivered.
NiP CEO, Jonas Gundersen, has opted to explain further:
“Moving twist from our active roster wasn’t easy, but ultimately something had to happen. We’ve been unable to release the massive potential and energy in our team, and over time, energy like that ends up becoming a negative spiral which is incredibly hard to break, without changing up the group dynamic. New, positive and fresh energy is needed, and thus we ended up at changes in both roster and backroom staff. I want to thank Simon for his incredible work ethic and everything he has done for this team, and I am sure he’ll find a new home very soon.”

Is that all the news?
In replacement of Twist, NiP have opted to bring on, up and coming talent Erik “ztr” Gustafsson from their Young Ninjas squad. Ztr will be kicking off his debut performance this week versus Astralis in BLAST Premier Spring.
