NIP's r1nkle Shares Insights on Team's Performance at First LAN Event

In their first LAN tournament after a major roster update, Ninjas in Pyjamas demonstrated significant potential despite a 0-2 loss to Heroic. Particularly memorable was the game on the first map, which the team chose themselves, where they secured a close 16:19 result, indicating growing synergy and adaptation of the players to the high standards of international competition.

For Artem ''r1nkle'' Moroz, a newcomer to the team, this tournament marked his first LAN match with NIP. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the team's fighting spirit and positive attitude, despite recent changes to the roster and the presence of a stand-in. According to r1nkle, the team did not have high expectations due to the changes, but they fought to the end and felt mutual support at every stage of the game.

We didn't have high expectations for the game, because we have a new roster, with a stand. But the most important thing is that we fought to the end and did our best. I hope that we will keep the atmosphere and fight.
