Ninjas in pyjamas

History
(history from NiP official Website) Ninjas in Pyjamas was originally formed in June 2000, but was solidified as a team in 2001 after several lineup changes and namechanges.

Their biggest success was winning the 2001 Cyberathlete Professional League World Championships after a very close final with X3 (a forerunner to Team 3D). Soon after this they had trouble finding sponsors but the solution came when they joined the prominent e-sports organization SK Gaming and were known by the names SK Scandinavia and SK Sweden during their time there. At SK they continued their success and became a dominant force in Counter-Strike. The prize money from their tournament victories in 2003 totalled approximately 170,000 U.S. dollars.

Emil Christensen, together with co-player and friend Tommy ‘Potti’ Ingemarssen, managing directors Peter Hedlund and Victor Lindqvist reformed NiP as a Swedish stockcompany in 2005. The reformed NiP continued their participation in international tournaments, placing high in many of the events they attended. Emil Christensen, Peter Hedlund and Victor Lindqvist managed to take the company to the next level by closing some of the biggest sponsorship deals in the scene so far. They got about 100 000 members on their international e-sport community website in Europe during their first two years and was also the first Counter-Strike team, not from Asia, to enter the Asian market. Within six months they had about 90 000 members on their Asian website.

On the 10th of August 2012 Ninjas in Pyjamas announced their comeback by switching from CS 1.6 to CS: Global Offensive.

Ninjas in Pyjamas is now the most successful Counter-Strike Global Offensive team to date.
