NIP finally announced their new AWPer.

No, it’s not s1mple. It’s actually r1nkle. Close enough, right?

The 19-year-old leaves B8 and joins the Swedish organization in a turbulent period for the Ninjas. Let’s just say things did not go very well for them in the RMR. Well, not just the RMR. Honestly, things haven’t been going NIP’s way for a while now.

But fear not NIP fans! The young sniper did not take much time to start cooking.

On the day of his announcement, r1nkle boasted impressive 1.31 rating performances in his first two BO3s with the team, during ESL Jönköping’s Closed Qualifier. Talk about a flying start.

Can he help lead the legendary org back to its rightful place? Colossal task, we know.

The NIP roster is now nearly locked, with the squad missing just an anchor player. Hey, we know of a pretty good Aussie bloke who happens to be available.
