Rumor: NiP to make major roster changes

In a leak from anonymous sources, it has been revealed that NiP appear to be planning to drop the majority of their current roster.

*UPDATE*: Both Gamers2 and NiP have denied making plans for roster changes

Fragbite.se, one of the most popular esports news sources in Sweden, published a report today that claims that the site has secured confirmation from anonymous sources inside the Ninjas in Pyjamas that the team plans to drop the majority of their current roster, Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, Adam "friberg" Friberg, and Aleksi "allu" Jalli. If true, this would be the biggest change that NiP has ever undergone in CS:GO, whose roster has been relatively unchanged since 2012.

To fill the gap, Fragbite reports that NiP will be signing three of Gamers2 current lineup, bringing back former NiP AWPer Mikail "Maikelele" Bill as well as Dennis "dennis" Edman and Håvard "rain" Nygaard. This would leave Gamers2 with only Ricardo "fox" Pacheco, as  Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom has just recently left the organization to move back to Titan.

However, Adam "friberg" Friberg seems to deny that his team is planning to make these changes, calling the article "clickbait" in a statement on his Twitter. The team's in-game leader, Richard "Xizt" Landstrom, tweeted a similar message. Interestingly, none of the NiP players rumored to be involved in the move have commented on the matter.
