Swedish professional eSports organization Ninjas in Pyjamas have released a statement regarding the speculation surrounding their flagship CS:GO roster.
Earlier today we reported on rumours stating that Mikail "Maikelele" Bill would be leaving NiP. In order to address these rumours, NiP have released a statement regarding the future of their Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team.
Maikelele is a great talent and a very good player, but lacks a certain amount of experience that is required in order to have a permanent spot in the NiP line-up. Much more than pure talent is required in order to play professionally on an international level. Maikelele is still a part of NiP and has been informed of his shortcomings and now has a chance of working on them. In other words, the CS:GO team still consists of the same five players, but we are open to trying new players for the upcoming period of time.
Maikelele adapted well to the CS:GO team, meaning there are no other aspects to this decision but the sporting ones that are the base of this evaluation period.”
In the statement, NiP says that although Maikelele has excellent fragging ability, he "lacks a certain amount of experience that is required in order to have a permanent spot in the NiP line-up." The organization is now open in trying new players for the roster, but Maikelele is still a part of the team for the time being.
With more information regarding the situation surely to arise, GosuGamers will keep you updated as soon as we get it. Stay tuned.
