Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi returns to Ninjas in Pyjamas

After a lengthy period of rehabiliation post his arm injury, Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi has returned to his position on the starting roster of the Swedish CS:GO team Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Pyth had left the roster in mid-August 2016 after NiP had posted an announcement regarding his wrist injury. The team made a decision whereby the player would rest until his wrist injury had subsided and reached a full state of recovery. At the time we saw Joakim ”disco doplan” Gidetun, a recent addition to Fnatic's roster, replace him. Said substitution lasted for a little while, up until the point where disco doplan had to depart due to commitments to his team at the time, Sweden Epsilon eSports.

In late August, the Ninjas secured a free agent in the form of Mikail "maikelele" Bill as a substitute. Ever since he had represented the organisation at tournaments, where the team was able to secure first place at the StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 LAN Finals, top eight at Epicenter: Moscow and 4th place at the ESL Pro League Season 4 LAN Finals. He has departed effective immediately in order to make space for the returning member of the team.

Upon returning Jacob had the following to say:

I got more nervous from watching the matches at home than playing them because you get a different view of the game. Sometimes when they lost I wish I could do something about it.

It feels really good to be back again with the boys. Thanks for the support and everyone that believes in me!

The Sweden Ninjas in Pyjamas roster is now back to its prior state in the form of the following five individuals:

Sweden Richard "Xizt" Landström
Sweden Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg
Sweden Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund
Sweden Adam "friberg" Friberg
Sweden Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi
