The Trio previously played for Rix.GG Lightning. At the VCT GC EMEA Series III, the team placed fifth-sixth. OYKU, the turkish youngster, played for SuperMassive Female, a turkish roster.

Raina and Padge have been playing together on the Blix.gg roster. They will head the new Ninjas in Pyjamas GC roster. The duo have been a top-eight team throughout the VCT EU GC's tenure, with two podium finishes. Unfortunately, the team could not close the matches and will be looking to do it with Ninjas in Pyjamas. With an s-tier organisation behind the team and the facilities available, The team will aim for the throne of EU GC.

The team's manager at Blix.gg has also transitioned to Ninjas in Pyjamas and will be willing to find an excellent fourth and fifth for the team. Fortunately, the Trio is filled with flexibility. With Padge being the primary Duelist and OYKU and Raina having played multiple roles, the team will be looking for Flex and Recon roles.

The team at the top of the Game Changers world is G2 Gozen, initially built around Star Duelist Juliano and shifting towards the Turkish Youngster Mary. The team took down North American Shopify Rebellion GC in the finals to win the inaugural GC Championship. With the GC Cup staying in the EU, all of the EU will try to take down the current champions.

Currently, The Ninjas In Pyjamas Roster will be as follows:
  • Nelly "Raina" Sosobrado
  • Oyku "OYKU" Buyuk
  • Paige "Padge" Thomas
  • Nicole "Wolf" Solvmose (Manager)
