Everything about betting on Ninjas in Pyjamas

Sasa, NiP’s journey wasn’t always smooth. Back in the early 2000s, the squad hit some bumps – sponsorship dramas, name switches and even player walkouts. By 03/2005, they cut ties with SK Gaming after contract spats, then quietly vanished from the scene until 2007 when they disbanded. But true to form, the Ninjas in Pyjamas reloaded in 2012 under fresh ownership and rebranded their line-up. They stormed every LAN that year (bar one they couldn’t enter), proving that you can nip setbacks in the bud, poa? By the end of 2012, they snagged the title of the world’s best CS:GO outfit.

Fast-forward to now, and NiP’s goal is still the same: be the strongest in every game. They roped in Threat as head trainer to sharpen tactics and scout hot prospects. Bringing in young guns like Nawwk and in-game leader Hampus, plus snagging Dev1ce from Astralis in 04/2021, shows they mean business. NiP wants to cement Scandinavia’s rep as an esports powerhouse – and with limited cash back in the day, these legends used pure skill to shine. Today they’ve got teams in Counter-Strike, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, FIFA and League of Legends, all backed by solid resources that let players grow.

Mambo, that’s one stacked squad covering all major titles.

NiP has been in the game for over two decades, even helping launch the World Esports Association back in the day. Fans love their humble vibe and community initiatives under various government initiatives. With ~29.5% internet reach and ~51% mobile penetration in Kenya (at ~12 Mbps avg), you can catch NiP live or via cs:go download on Steam without lag. Their merch game is on point, too – official jerseys fly off the virtual shelves. Plus, teaming up with giants like 1xBet, Betway Africa and ComeOn bet has boosted their online presence across casinos and esports sites.

There’s no doubt NiP and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive go hand in hand. They’ve bagged four DreamHack titles in the last four years and lifted ESL One Cologne 2014 silverware. Hop over to Steam for a cs:go download and you’ll see why they’re legends. In Valorant, veterans Xand and Bnj lead the charge, both ex-FURIA stars who’ve rocked the VCT: South America Last Chance Qualifier. Another of the top teams is R6 Siege, where PSYCHO’s quick thinking and Gustavo’s reflexes have helped NiP scoop trophies worldwide.

It was all on LAN in the early days – NiP went months undefeated and bagged CPL Winter 2001 plus NGL-One Season I. After reuniting, they took DreamHack Winter 2013 by storm, then overcame Fnatic at ESL One: Cologne four months later. They ruled DreamHack Winter 2014, DreamHack Masters Malmö and StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 in 2016. Achana na mimi, talk about a roll!

NiP’s Standout 2021

In 2021, NiP lifted the Six Invitational crown in Montreal, the unofficial World Cup of R6 Siege. They also topped Copa Elite Six Season 2021 Stage 2 and Six August 2020 Major-Brazil, plus strong showings at Brasileirao 2021 Finals and Six Sweden Major 2021 runner-up. They even streamlined by dropping Dota 2 in 2020 to focus on CS:GO’s glory and rebuilt their LoL squad for a more stable run.
