Xizt returns to NIP

One of Ninjas in Pyjamas' most iconic names, Richard 'Xizt' Landström has returned to the Swedish organisation, joining as the Head Coach of Ninjas in Pyjamas' (NIP) Counter-Strike team.

Xizt is the first announcement following NIP's recent overhaul which saw them drop three members of their roster in k0nfig, headtr1ck and es3tag, all of whom were dropped to the bench. alex and REZ remain on the team for the timebeing with the Young Ninjas squad representing NIP at the ongoing BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024.

With Xizt joining NIP, it will be his second coaching gig following a relatively successful stint with HEROIC, with whom he reached the final of IEM RIo 2022.

With Xizt joining NIP as their Head Coach, it means that there is a possibility that the Swede will be in India with NIP for the Skyesports Masters 2024.
