Geposted von cLaun,
Nachdem es bereits gestern Gerüchte gab, dass AWP-Talent William 'Draken' Sundin den Reihen der Ninjas in Pyjamas beitreten solle, ist es nun bestätigt. Der junge Schwede wechselt mit sofortiger Wirkung von Epsilon eSports zu Ninjas in Pyjamas. Dort ersetzt er Jacob 'pyth' Mourujärvi, der nach einem Bewertungsprozess des Coaches Björn 'THREAT' Pers auf die Bank gesetzt wurde. Dies ist nicht das erste Mal seit dem Abgang von Robin 'Fifflaren' Johansson, dass der fünfte Ninja nach einer Krise ausgetauscht wird.

Statement Björn 'THREAT' Pers:

During the last few months our results have been below our expectations and we have not been able to find good solutions. We have tried swapping roles but we are not able to find a good balance with the current lineup. The key thing we are missing is a dedicated AWPer and that's why we're happy to announce the recruitment of William “draken” Sundin. William has been on our radar for quite a while, and with him we believe all the players can play a role they are comfortable with. During 2016, we managed to win three titles and Jacob was a crucial part of those victories winning us many rounds thanks to his explosive playstyle. However, we cannot overlook that fact that his playing style does not fit the AWPing-role but rather roles that other players in the team are currently occupying.

Statement William 'Draken' Sundin:

Getting picked up by Ninjas in Pyjamas is a dream come true for me. One year ago, I was competing on the FaceIT platform, where I qualified for the minor in Bucharest. I have since then been working hard on improving and believe I can have an in-game impact in NiP. Even though the team has struggled a bit lately, they are still one of the top teams in the world and I am humble to have been given this opportunity. I am looking forward to getting started and prove my spot on the team!
