NiP
Return to Dota2!



A couple of hours ago the well-known esports organisation Ninjas in Pyjamas announced their return to the Dota 2 scene. They have picked up the team captained by Peter "(Wiki)ppd" Dager and are looking for success in the upcoming season.

This marks their return to Dota 2 ever since their former squad was released in June 2017. The new (Wiki)NiP will be competing in the EU region.

1. (Wiki)Ace
2. (Wiki)Fata
3. (Wiki)33
4. (Wiki)Saksa
5. (Wiki)ppd (captain)

ppd had the following to say:

"I’ve only just joined NiP but they believe in my team and in the game I love so I’m feeling pretty blessed. We’ve only just begun but the passion and dedication this team has shown since its formation has been inspiring. I’m new to NiP but what I’ve figured out so far is that they love Dota ALMOST as much as I do. We hope you enjoy our games!"


While NiP's CEO Hicham Chahine also warmly greeted their new acquisition:

"People at Ninjas in Pyjamas and Betway love DotA2, and it is with great excitement we have been chosen as the home of a world class DotA2 team led by Peter “PPD” Dager. We have over the last year been keeping our eyes on the DotA2 scene, evaluating several opportunities for entry, to return to the game. An opportunity like this is rare, and we are thrilled to have such an experienced and talented team here at Ninjas in Pyjamas. Welcome, Peter, Adrian, Martin, Neta and Marcus!"

this is awkward. good luck. wish we knew why OpTiC didn't resign (i.e., did OpTiC say no, or did ppd say no - or both).

on paper, this is a downgrade, to be harshly blunt (saying this being an original 1.2 guy who loved X3 v NiP games)

Not a fan of FATA as a mid player, thought the offlane was the right spot for him.

Dam, I liked saying Green Wall. Ninjas in Pajamas is just a stupid name for an esports org. in my opinion. But I'll still root for PPD and NiP. I'll just have to be embarrassed when I tell people outside esports what NiP stands for.
Every night I pray for TL to give me my SAD Boys flair, and every morning I wake up disappointed.

They basically kicked the can down the road for any teams that already had gambling sponsorships. If they haven't cracked down on NiP in CSGO, then they won't do it here.

That makes zero sense though. Just tell the fucking teams to drop these unregulated scam sites or drop out of the Dota 2 pro circuit. It shouldn't be all that hard

Do you not real world with contracts?

Sponsors pay money, teams need money, and blanket banhammer telling teams to either lose that money immediately (or worse yet, pay money for breaking contract early) means players get dropped immediately.
Average means I'm better than half of you.
