natu released from NiP

Ninjas in Pyjamas have released a statement in which they said that Joona "natu" Leppänen is no longer a team coach.

A lot of rumours have been circling around ever since the conclusion of ESL One Cologne. Community was discussing wether some or all NiP players will be changed. However, the Swedish organisation have came out today with the official statement clearing all these rumours.

Statement on the official website of the organisation:

All five of them have contracts that end on the same date, the 31st of December 2015, and are to be renegotiated starting 1st of October. There is nothing that would hinder us starting these renegotiations earlier but the contracts are valid until said date.

We and our co-owners Diglife see player contracts as the foundation on which we build much of the investments and the future so therefore it's important they only change if ALL parties are in agreement. This means change is not impossible, but unlikely before the end of this year.

One change relating to the CS:GO team has already occurred and that is that we have parted ways with Joona “natu” Leppänen as coach. No shadow falls on Joona because of this and he has not disappointed us in any way. Joona has a lot of casting jobs around the world that we will enjoy watching in the future and we value his deep knowledge and skills in the game we all love, CS:GO.

As we can see the first change was releasing the team's coach, but it might not be the end of the road as more stuff will be clear after the October 1st.
