Over at NiP-Gaming.com the former Counter-Strike-only clan Ninjas in Pyjamas announces the first step towards a multi-gaming clan by opening up a WarCraft 3 squad. As the Counter-Strike squad of NiP was all Swedish, the WarCraft 3 squad of NiP is all Korean. Three of the players in the lineup comes from the German-based clan mouz, who know stands a bit empty-handed after losing some of their absolute best players. Those three players are GoStop, Rainbow and FarSeer. Two more have been announced, and those are Nangchun and Southsea. This is a huge step for NiP-Gaming, and will surely increase their popularity, at least in the non Counter-Strike community.

Appropriate NiP ambassadors

The CEO for NiP AB - Peter Hedlund, made an officiall announcement on the NiP frontpage, expressing his joy to the newformed team. He writes that this is a very big challenge for NiP and that they think this squad consists of good people. "Not only very skilled peopl ebut also with the appropriate NiP ambassadors, something of great importance to NiP." He also says that it is a good mix of people. GoStop, Rainbow and FarSeer are no doubt a very experienced Korean trio, along with two fresh players in the form of Nanchung and Southsea - a mix they hope to provide with the brightest future within gaming.

Will try to qualify for WC3L Season 9

By this move, NiP will focus on more members worldwide, but also the possibility to profile their partners in the growing gaming industry. The German news site » Rushed.de reports that they will try to qualify for the WarCraft 3 Clan League Season 9 in the upcoming qualifier, and by looking at the player material they shold have a pretty nice shot in making it. Ghostrider, member of mTw.ATI made a statement over at Rushed.de: "Looking at the players, they should do pretty well in the WC3L. Good luck to mouz... I mean NiP.", with a slight sarcasm toned to it.

mouz heavily scarred because of this

As mentioned, mouz now lost three of their star players to NiP.wc3, leaving them a bit crippled, even though they have several strong players in their lineup still. Although, this was no "stealing" of players, as FrogBender, team manager of mouz, says that the contracts for the Korean trio were running out. They also had some trouble with them, regarding more Korean members to mouz. "That didnt fit with our concept, so we didnt extend the contracts and they left" FrogBender says to » SK-Gaming.com.

"they just acted unprofessional"

FrogBender further adds that after heard that they joined NiP-Gaming, that he found their actings unprofessional. "It doesn't really matter for me where they go" he says, and that mouz will now start searching for new strong players. Although, mouz is in a bit of trouble as the WC3L Season 8 playoffs are about to start. However, their American star player Shortround (picture) who has not played a single match in WC3L, is now back on the active lineup at WC3L, and FrogBender says that is is possible that he will play. "If it is possible for him to come, then he will play" he says to SK-Gaming.com.

GosuGamers wishes the best of luck to both NiP-Gaming and mouz in the future, and are very excited to see another multi-gaming clan being created.
