The Swedish Esports Organisation, Ninjas in Pyjamas, entered the Valorant EMEA Game changers scene with the addition of Raina, Padge, and OKYU. The roster has been on a journey to scout talent throughout EMEA to compete in the upcoming Valorant EMEA Game Changers. Today, the Ninjas announced the addition of a Turkish youngster, Eda "rezq" Naz Akcocuk, as the fourth roster member. The tweet also introduced Jackson "Jaxsen" Popelka as the head coach for the roster.

The first additions to the roster were Blix.gg Lightning core of Raina, Padge, and OKYU. The core has the talent and the experience to lead a new youngster on the right path and make deep runs. The current Valorant GC Champions, G2 Gozen, brought in young talent in Mary and won the inaugural Championship. The Ninjas will be aiming for the same going into the upcoming season.

Rezq, at the age of 15, has already hit Radiant and will be a raw talent in the hands of Ninjas in Pyjamas. She certainly can hold her own and, with time, might develop into a great asset. Added to the core will be Jaxsen, who just recently served as a Coach for Turtle Troops (Squirtle Squad). The coach and the F/A squad ran over the North American Challengers Qualifier and qualified for the Valorant Challengers League NA. The turtle troops will now play alongside teams like Faze, G2, TSM, etc. Jaxsen also coached Gen.G Black before coaching the Turtle Troops.

With the new coaching staff and a young talented player in Rezq, the Ninjas are building a solid roster. The roster is yet to announce the final player but going into the GC Competition. They will be poised to make a strong and deep run.
