The Path of a Ninja: Swedish team introduces new talent program
Ninjas in Pyjamas has launched a new program in Sweden to find the next big talents.
The hunt for the next generation players is on. Swedish CS:GO giants, Ninjas in Pyjamas has launched a new initiative called "Path of a Ninja".
- There’s something missing for young individuals who want to turn pro today. More teams are moving towards academy teams and six-player rotations for various reasons. While we see those as viable options for our own evolution, we also see the need to support the underlying ecosystem and provide ways into a potential academy team in the future. We’ll invest heavily in this and work hard to equip young Swedish talents with everything they need in order to develop further. Sweden has an incredibly rich history of having the very best talent within the FPS genre of games. We feel that it’s a part of our DNA to help rekindle that so we can keep being a world-dominating nation, Jonas Gundersen COO at NiP explains.
The new young Ninjas will be found in the Swedish domestic CS:GO league, Elitserien. Here a jury will select a couple of talented players. As part of the program, participants will remain in their current teams, but they will get gameplay and well-being guidance from the professional NiP staff. They will get invited to workshops and boot camps at the NiP headquarters in Stockholm and much more.
Current Head Coach at NiP, Björn "THREAT" Pers will be among the jury.
