Contract tenure map

Every Ninjas in Pyjamas contract since 2000

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2000 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 1y 2m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with Ninjas in Pyjamas; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

The Ninjas in Pyjamas file

Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) is a Swedish esports organization founded in June 2000, with a Counter-Strike 2 team led by in-game leader Krimbo, who joined on loan in September 2026. The current lineup is Krimbo, adamb, sjuush, stavn and xKacpersky, with Richard "Xizt" Landström as coach. NIP is listed in Stage 1 of PGL Major Singapore 2026.

NIP was formed in June 2000 by Potti and Tootzi. On 12 December 2001 it won the 2001 CPL Winter Championship, beating Xtreme 3 2-0 in the final. The organization closed on 14 June 2002 when HeatoN, Potti and XeqtR were signed by SK Gaming, and it reformed on 1 January 2005 as SK Gaming's roster left that organization.

The second run ended in 2007. On 14 August 2007 miniw left and GeT_RiGhT came in, with HeatoN moving to the coaching role.

On 10 August 2012 NIP returned with a new Global Offensive roster of f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, friberg, Fifflaren and Xizt. That group went on a record-breaking 87-0 map win streak on LAN.

The biggest title came at ESL One Cologne 2014, a Major, where NIP beat Fnatic 2-1 in the final on 17 August 2014. It also won IEM Oakland in 2016 and 2017, DreamHack Masters Malmö 2016, SL i-League StarSeries Season 2 Finals and IEM Fall 2021 Europe.
