Last week, RobbaN and SpawN left the swedish powerteam, NiP, to join up with SK. Few days after, zet, one of the most upcoming players out there today, said he would be joining up with the american team compLexity. This left only two active players left in NiP, ins and walle, with the superstar HeatoN being inactive. After these players departures though, HeatoN said this:

"It's really sad that they left us since they where both great players and good friends, and I’m still kind of chocked this happened since they came out of the blue, really didn’t see it coming or a reason for it, But I want to thank them for their time in NiP and wish the best of luck in the future. For NiP future I can assure you we are not going anywhere but forwards."

The waitingtime is over, here is the new Ninjas in Pyjamas team for 2007!

Emil 'HeatoN' Christensen
Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg
Björn 'bullen' wall
Jonathan 'miniw' Wallenberg
Øyvind 'KunFigur3' Magnestad


Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg has released a statement at NiP-Gaming.com, talking about his expectations of the new team, aswell as talking about the rumours of him going inactive.

"There’s been alot of turbulence in the scene lately with players changing teams, and a lot of rumours floating around. Regarding me going inactive is not entirely true – I had thoughts about going inactive when I had declined SK’s offer because of time pressure but it was never supposed to be official until I had made up my mind. I’m very glad Emil and Andreas supported me and we were able to create a new, very promising team. I’m very excited about playing 2007 out as a ninja, and I’d like to thank everyone for the support and hope you keep supporting us!"

There are some surprises here, as most peoples dream of seeing bullen playing active again, has started to dissappear, and the up-and-coming player in the norwegian KunFigur3.

With this being announced, ins is now without a team. This just improves the rumours about him joining up with fnatic, as Tentpole is currently inactive.
