NiP add maikelele

After disappointing results from Ninjas in Pyjamas during the last couple of months, elimination during the group stage of ESWC 2014 has turned out to be the last straw for one of the oldest and most accomplished teams in the CS:GO competetive scene. Considerable changes seemed inevitable and shortly after, Robin 'fifflaren' Johansson announced his retirement.

Today, Aftonbladet.se, an official partner of Ninjas in Pyjamas, has announced that the team is adding Mikail 'maikelele' Bill in order to bring in fresh wind and hopefully good results. However, his participation will be limited as he joins the team on the trial basis. Recently, maikelele was teamless after his departure from UnWanted/Team Orbit, although he participated in the ESWC 2014 qualifier as stand-in for team mousesports.

Emil 'heatoN' Christensen's comment on the addition:

 He is a young and hungry player that has impressed me a lot over the last few months. He has a lot of people to prove wrong and we have decided to give him a chance of a lifetime and we will see what the future shows. I know that he will cherish this opportunity and do his best to make the team move forward. I am confident that he will find a place in the NiP family, that his trial-period will go well, and I wish to officially welcome him!”

The next big challenge for the refreshed Swedish team will be Dreamhack Winter, which features a $250,000 prize pool and is being held 27-29th of November in Jönköping, Sweden.
