NiP and Na`Vi join the PGL CS:GO Championship Series Kick-off Season
(Bucharest) February 20. Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) and Natus Vincere (Na`Vi) are the latest teams to join
EnVyUs and Virtus.pro in the PGL CS:GO Championship Series Kick-off Season.
Thanks to its early dominating run in the competitive scene, Ninjas in Pyjamas is one of the most
successful squads in CS:GO history, also having the distinction of winning one of the Valve Majors.
Aside from adding another trophy in their collection, the NiP players will surely be looking forward to a
rematch against the team that defeated them in the DreamHack Winter 2014 and the MLG X-Games
Aspen 2015 finals (ex-LDLC, currently under the EnVyUs banner).
