After the disappointment of 2021, where they were hyped up to make a march on the top level of Counter-Strike once again, 2022 proved to be another rocky year for Ninjas in Pyjamas. The iconic Swedish organization has reshaped its roster a few times over the last few months as a result, bringing in Ludvig \u2018Brollan\u2019 Brolin and Aleksi \u2018Aleksib\u2019 Virolainen from Fnatic and G2, respectively. They\u2019ve also recently bid farewell to Nicolai \u2018dev1ce\u2019 Reedtz as he returned to Astralias, as well as benching Nicolas \u2018Plopski\u2019 Gonzalez Zamora to free up a spot for Aleksib. That upheaval is set to continue into the early part of 2023 at the very least, as they\u2019ve now benched es3tag and allowed the Dane to find new opportunities away from NiP. NiP bench es3tag from CS:GO roster NIP announced the roster change on December 21, confirming that the Dane would be allowed to find a new home for the 2023 season. \u201cIn preparation of the next year we\u2019ve been evaluating the team composition overall, and have moved Patrick \u2018es3tag\u2019 Hansen to the bench, and are allowing him to explore new opportunities ahead of the 2023 season,\u201d NIP said. \u201cPatrick has been a fantastic teammate, colleague, and player to have at NIP. We have nothing but good things to say about him, and we are sure he will find success where ever he goes next.\u201d As of writing, NIP have not yet announced a replacement for es3tag, nor has the Dane given any hints about his next move. Ahead of 2023, the current NIP roster looks like: Aleksi \u2018Aleksib\u2019 Virolainen &#8211; Fredrik \u2018REZ\u2019 Sterner &#8211; Hampus \u2018hampus\u2019 Poser &#8211; Ludvig \u2018Brollan\u2019 Brolin &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninjas in Pyjamas bench es3tag as CS:GO roster overhaul continues BLASTNinjas in Pyjamas have benched Patrick \u2018es3tag\u2019 Hansen as they continue to shake up their roster ahead of the 2023 CS:GO season.
