Ninjas in Pyjamas (often abbreviated to NIP and NiP) is a Swedish esports organization founded in 2000. The team competed in Counter-Strike until their dissolution in 2007. In 2012, the team returned with a now heavily renowned Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squad, which went on a record-breaking 87-0 map win streak. The longstanding duo of Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, who were a core part of the initial team, departed from the organization after the end of the StarLadder Berlin Major.
