Ninjas in Pyjamas CSGO players reportedly receive death threats following Anonymo rematch Ninjas in PyjamasNinjas in Pyjamas staff have reported the org\u2019s players have received death threats following their controversial Flashpoint CSGO rematch against Anonymo. Ninjas in Pyjamas beat Anonymo 2-1 after a best-of-one rematch between the teams\u2019 first round Flashpoint match after NiP successfully lobbied FACEIT organizers for a replay of Mirage, the final map of that first series. Even though it was just one single map, it\u2019s become the most controversial professional CSGO match of 2021 so far. Afterwards, some fans apparently took things a bit too far, sending death threats toward NiP\u2019s players, according to Chief Operating Officer Jonas Gundersen. An emotional and controversial time, that we are trying to be as respectful about as possible. However, death threats and toxicity towards players who are just here to play and compete in the game that they, is something none of us should tolerate. Please have respect for that. \u2014 Jonas Gundersen (@jonasgundersen) May 18, 2021 \u201cAn emotional and controversial time, that we are trying to be as respectful about as possible,\u201d Gundersen wrote after NiP\u2019s 16-14 win ove Anonymo. \u201cHowever, death threats and toxicity towards players who are just here to play and compete in the game that they, is something none of us should tolerate. Please have respect for that.\u201d A tweet by Nicolai \u2018dev1ce\u2019 Reedtz following the Anonymo rematch racked up almost 3,000 replies in less than an hour before it was deleted. \u201cProbably the worst I\u2019ve felt throughout a game. I\u2019m proud of my new team but this is the first time I\u2019ve been sad after a big win,\u201d Reedtz said in the now-deleted tweet. \u201cGgwp Anonymo Esports, you didn\u2019t deserve this and you are a great team. hope to play you many more times in the future.\u201d Fans going to the extreme might also benefit by keeping the fact that Anonymo is still very much in the tournament in mind. Yes, they\u2019ve now technically been knocked down to the Lower Bracket, but it\u2019s not like they\u2019re completely done with Flashpoint Season 3 yet either. Now that the rematch and the drama surrounding it is finally out of the way, we can actually look forward to the tournament going ahead as scheduled. Anonymo, like we said, will now face off against HYENAS on May 19, while NiP will play FPX in the Upper Bracket on May 20.
