Everything about betting on Ninjas in Pyjamas

Hey, sasa! Did you know Ninjas in Pyjamas had a rollercoaster ride before hitting the big leagues? Back in the day, they dealt with sponsorship dramas, frequent name swaps and roster reshuffles that really tested their grit. In early 2005, they even called it quits with SK Gaming—only for some players to bounce back on them later, breaching contracts and causing more chaos. By 2007, the squad faded from the spotlight and eventually folded, with many players moving into the SK Gaming fold.

Fast forward to 2012, NiP made a sensational CS: GO comeback after a lengthy break. Under new ownership and a complete overhaul, they dominated LANs—winning every single event they entered (well, except one they couldn’t attend). That clean sweep earned them the title of best team in the world for 2012. Talk about nipping it in the bud, right?

So, mambo? Ready to explore where NiP stands today in CS: GO and beyond? The org re-hired Threat as head coach and shifted resources to scout hot young talent like Nawwk and in-game leader Hampus. A headline move in April 2021 saw them snap up Dev1ce from Astralis to plug gaps left by departing stars.

NiP’s mission remains clear: to be the fiercest crew in every title they touch. They’re doubling down on their Nordic roots—building on Scandinavia’s rich gaming legacy. Nowadays they make sure all NiP members have top-tier training gear, coaching and support, so talent can thrive. It’s a far cry from their early grind when they rocked big results with almost zero backing.

Besides CS: GO, you’ll find NiP lineups in Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, FIFA and even League of Legends—all ready for your esports predictions and over/under prediction markets.

NiP’s been a gaming pillar for over two decades, co-founding the World Esports Association and staying humble while smashing records. They even work on education initiatives with the Swedish government.

They run a slick commercial model—merch sells out faster than tickets to an EPL derby. On top of that, NiP’s partnerships fuel their online buzz. Betway Kenya was among the first in KE to see the potential of esports betting, and since 2017 they’ve rolled out engaging content and exclusive markets for CS: GO download bonuses, Valorant mobile promos and more. Everything’s poa when you’re winning with NiP!

All this cements NiP’s rep—both as esports champions and a global brand.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

CS: GO remains their crown jewel. In the last four years, they snagged four DreamHack titles and an ESL One: Cologne 2014 win. You can find robust markets on 1xBet Global and correct score betting for rounds played, plus over/under prediction options.

Rainbow Six Siege

Led by PSYCHO’s in-game calls and Kamikaze’s swift plays, NiP’s R6 squad always threatens the top. Use your esports predictions to target match handicaps or total map rounds on Betway in Kenya.

Valorant

Valorant’s young guns like Xand and Bnj have already bagged trophies and qualify as underdog picks in many esports betting sites. Dive into match winner markets or jump on over/under prediction odds before tournaments start.

NiP’s legacy was forged early: they went undefeated at LANs for months, won CPL Winter 2001 and NGL-One Season I before the 2007 hiatus, then re-emerged to top DreamHack Winter 2013 and ESL One: Cologne against Fnatic. They continued their streak at DreamHack Winter 2014, DreamHack Masters Malmö and StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 in 2016.

A very successful 2021

In 2021, NiP clinched the Six Invitational in Montreal—the Rainbow Six Siege world cup—stamping their authority. They also lifted the Copa Elite Six – Season 2 Stage 2 and the Six August 2020 Major – Brazil, plus second-place finishes at Brasileirao 2021 Finals and the Sweden Major. That prize pool? A sweet $10,000 USD roughly KSh 1,298,701.30 for top teams.

After trimming their Dota 2 squad in 2020, NiP refocused on CS: GO and revamped their League of Legends teams—ensuring long-term stability and more bang for your esports betting KSh.
