Ninjas in Pyjamas Acquire LAJONS
After days of speculation and anticipation, Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP), the Swedish gaming organization, finally announced that it has acquired LAJONS.
LAJONS is an all-Swedish Dota 2 team that has impressed people with their results thus far, most notably qualifying for the current season of i-League as well as the StarLadder Season XI LAN Finals in Kiev.
Here is a statement from Per Lilliefelth, the CEO of NiP:
”We continue on our path to build an eSport powerhouse based in the Nordics. Swedish and Scandinavian eSports have always been successful and in the frontline of development in the world of Gaming. We are proud to see that so many eSport-stars want to join the NiP colors and represent us on the global scene. I’m personally impressed with the players in Lajons who have come so far without any backing at all. Now we will do everything in our power to give them the best possible conditions to grow with the NiP organisation.”
Here is also a statement from Adrian ”Era” Kryeziu:
”We are proud to have been given this tremendous opportunity. To play under the Ninjas in Pyjamas banner is a boyhood dream for all of us. We will show that Sweden is to trust when it comes to big championships and tournaments in Dota 2. Our journey as Ninjas will start in China where we jump in to the Ileague Finals. After that you can see us in the Starladder finals in Kiev Ukraine. 2015 is our year, the year of the Ninjas. ”
Ninjas in Pyjamas is mostly known for having one of the world’s strongest Counter-Strike teams on its roster.
Here is the new lineup of the team:
Simon “Handsken” Haag
