Ninjas in Pyjamas announce women's team

6-9-2022 16:29

The Nordic-majority squad will compete in ESL Impact Season 2.

Ninjas in Pyjamas have announced the signing of a new women's CS:GO team featuring a Nordic core. The roster will be led by Tilde "⁠7licious⁠" Byström, who joins alongside her CPH Flames fe teammate Jennica "⁠jenkon⁠" Sjögren.

The three remaining members of the starting five, Thea "⁠pullox⁠" Evensen, Marita "⁠Minnie⁠" Siljan Sørensen and Mayline-Joy "⁠ASTRA⁠" Champliaud, join the lineup after previously representing GODSENT fe.

NIP fe's French player, ASTRA, at DreamHack Impact Valencia

The ex-GODSENT fe core competed in the first ESL Impact season, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the $123,000 LAN finals, and were present at ESL Impact Valencia after having made it through the open qualifier. They weren't able to make their mark in Spain, however, losing to CLG Red and MIBR fe in the group stage.

"I'm super proud to be a part of this lineup and I can assure you that with some time we will show the world what we can do. NIP has always been close to my heart and to have the opportunity to play under such a legendary org is just a dream come true, but the job is not done yet," 7licious reflected on joining the storied organization.

"NIP is making a monumental move by entering ESL Impact. It is a step in the right direction, a way for us to showcase that greatness and talent has no bounds," Hicham Chahine, NIP's CEO, said in a statement.

The team will make their debut in ESL Impact's European Division, which starts on September 8. They will fight among eight teams for one of the two spots at the LAN finals, set to be held in Jönköping in November.

NIP Impact's roster is:

Tilde "⁠7licious⁠" Byström
Jennica "⁠jenkon⁠" Sjögren
Thea "⁠pullox⁠" Evensen
Marita "⁠Minnie⁠" Siljan Sørensen
Mayline-Joy "⁠ASTRA⁠" Champliaud

its only common in the west coast

2022-09-06 17:25

And south coast but its still not something thta makes them swedish lol

2022-09-06 17:58

isnt that exactly what i said?

2022-09-06 18:57

West coast is not the same as south coast?

2022-09-06 19:26

... = coast in general :D btw as a Swedish speaking Finn (I believe this is the correct term) without a Swedish last name, there are many like me. Obviously more regular Finns with SWE last names than SsF with FIN last names.

2022-09-06 19:00

You come across finnish names in sweden as well. In the far north citys can have finnish sounding names, we have so much shared history and used to be one nation.

2022-09-07 04:25

gj womens))

2022-09-06 16:39

NiP has free money

Better than main team.

2022-09-06 16:41

Let’s gooooo, another team which won’t make any money but will cost something because of salaries, from the business standpoint it makes no sense but let’s be a bit hypocritical Edit: This is nothing against women, I have nothing against women, I’m just stating simple fact that for example WNBA lost a lot of money, while NBA makes so much ( m.youtube.com/watch?v=vnIxRVb_TVg ), because it’s a different competition, and it has quality-wise nothing to do with the main one, so nobody watches it which results in big loses. But today we’re hypocritical with this equality so we will do something what from business standpoint makes no sense just so we’re politically correct.

2022-09-06 16:46

It’s an investment, it makes sense. Plus there is still around 100K € in the prize pools for the rest of season.

2022-09-06 16:50

Funnily enough none of the video you link can be extrapolated here

2022-09-06 18:02

What if they are money laundering

2022-09-06 18:04

You cant do that when you lose money , IRS will catch up To launder money , you need positive i Outcome ,

2022-09-06 22:48

Fine take

2022-09-06 20:14

How has this comment not been deleted? Its critical to the greater cause.

2022-09-07 01:44

It's better to leave it and someone can refute his stance instead of deleting every opinion you might not agree with.

2022-09-07 03:14

nice, maybe they can qualify for playoffs unlike main team🤦‍♂️

would love to see a female or mixed Team in the Top30!

Maybe at least this roster can win something for NiP xd

2022-09-06 16:57

They can't even win a single game in ESEA Open

2022-09-07 12:56

NiP women team POG Still No chance vs Nigma and ANa

aNa too strong, but hopefuly we get some revenge next event .\_/.

Somewhy I think they will perform better than normal roaster

2022-09-06 18:00

What did the normal roaster roast? Peanuts, coffee or people with jokes?

2022-09-06 19:24

Normal roster defeated n0vi. This roster would get 32-0'ed in a bo1 against EF. Eu flag opinion.

2022-09-07 01:43

Flag + name Also reported

2022-09-07 07:12

2022-09-06 18:44

good, nice move NIP

Nip couldnt possibly have found worse rated players 😂😂

2022-09-06 19:04

yeah idk who picked these up. theres so much talent without orgs better than these girls

2022-09-06 20:07

My toughts exactly

2022-09-06 21:48

Good on NIP, these are the kind of moves that need to happen to keep CS moving forward.

2022-09-06 19:20

better than main team

2022-09-06 19:47

120 posts have been deleted so far... Be nice!

2022-09-06 19:53

They're mostly cave men. Can't expect them to be nice, but you can always expect them to be more vocal than the next. In Danish we have a saying: "Tomme tønder buldrer mest." which rougly translates to 'Empty barrels chime the loudest.'

Nice to see a Finnish player in the roster!

2022-09-06 20:01

there were much better rosters to sign than this

No Juliano ?

plays valo nowadays

She plays valorant for G2, which I believe the top fe team. Doubt she would leave that

2022-09-06 20:49

Awesome, hope more orgs follow

2022-09-06 20:47

2022-09-06 22:50

Probably better than the men's team.

2022-09-06 23:30

Goofy ahh announcement vid

2022-09-07 00:30

wow, clean positive comment section, literally the opposite to the sexist toxic community when in-game. maybe sexism is only 'funny' when not in a public domain

2022-09-07 01:01

Even for a womens team a pretty weak squad, doubt they will win much, just not good enough for top tier cs

2022-09-07 01:31

after great shows from NIP one more new that is no surprise

2022-09-07 03:29

funny how most of finnish and swedish comments are debating whether finlandsswedes are finnish or swedish we are finnish
