At NIP, we know a thing or two about legends. Over our many years in competitive Counter-Strike, we have both welcomed and said goodbye to some of the greatest names the game has ever known. No matter where their stories took them, the Ninjas of NIP never stopped being Ninjas.
Today, we are saying goodbye (for now) to perhaps the greatest legend of NIP’s modern CS era: REZ. After nearly 8 years in the team, Fredrik is taking off his Pyjamas and preparing to write the next chapter of his story. Since joining the Ninjas in 2017, REZ quickly became known as the face of the next generation of NIP. After claiming the W at IEM Masters XII in the company of legends like f0rest and Get_Right, and, famously, being named “Oakland MVP”, REZ would remain with the team across countless iterations, desperate wins, and heart-breaking losses.
