The Swedish eSports organization Ninjas in pyjamas announced the addition of Kristen "K0nfig" Winneche to the roster. This news comes after Hampus "Hampus" Poser's absence from the team after the Lower Round #1 victory over BIG. Hampus missed the team's elimination matchup against Natus Vincere. The team played with Young Ninjas Maxtern. After a third map loss, Ninjas in Pyjamas lost the series 1-2.

Today, Ninjas in Pyjamas took it to Twitter to shed light on the Hampus situation. In the Tweet made by the team, NiP and Hampus agreed to let Hampus take a break from Active competition. Hampus will miss the rest of the Spring CSGO season and take care of his health. After Hampus's situation came to light, Ninjas tried finding a long-term solution to the Hampus problem without affecting team's momentum.

The solution to the problem came from Kristen "k0nfig" Winneche. k0nfig will fill in Hampus's shoes on the roster. k0nfig has joined the team and joined the Ninja's IEM Katowice 2023 Expedition.

K0nfig previously played in Astralis; he was one of the best-performing members of the Dying squad, along with BlameF. Astralis parted ways with the player after the player's altercation at an event. k0nfig got a chance at redemption with Heroic. He helped Heroic at the Blast Premier World finals. K0nfig was the best performer on the team. Unfortunately, Heroic lost 0-2 in the groups and was eliminated from the competition.

Despite the team's failure, K0nfig established himself as an asset. k0nfig was supposed to substitute for Faze, but it did not go through. K0nfig finally got a chance to represent an organization full-time after returning to competition. With k0nfig on the roster, the NiP squad will be as follows: 

  • Fredrik "REZ" Sterner
  • Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin
  • Aleksi "AleksiB" Virolainen (IGL)
  • Danyyl "headtr1ck" Valitov
  • Kristen "k0nfig" Winneche
  • Hampus "HAMPUS" Poser (Inactive)
  • Daniel "djL" Narancic (Coach)
