Counter-Strike: SK raids NiP players

By: Luis Mira - Published September 27, 2007 at 1:03 PM EDT - Writer Archive

SK Gaming has completed the signings of Dennis �walle� Wallenberg and Kristoffer �Tentpole� Nordlund.

The two players arrive at SK Gaming following a wave of reports suggesting the end of the Ninjas in Pyjamas Counter-Strike team.

Nordlund, who had joined the Ninjas in mid-March, has decided to switch teams to join a more stable project.

Wallenberg had been part of the NiP team since June 2005 and has now been granted a chance to represent the SK Gaming squad.

The two players will help fill the void vacated by the departures of Christer "fisker" Eriksson and Emil "striker" Westerberg.

While the former has retired from professional gaming but will remain in SK Gaming as part of the management, the latter has seen his name removed from the team's starting-five and is expected to join a new team in the future.

The new SK Gaming team will have its official debut in today's NGL ONE match against Gravitas Gaming.

SK Gaming has now the following roster:

Sweden

Jimmy "Allen" All�n
Sweden

Robert "RobbaN" Dahlstr�m
Sweden

Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed
Sweden

Dennis "walle" Wallenberg
Sweden

Kristoffer "Tentpole" Nordlund

like the name

hello

enough to beat fnatic? prob not

#8 their next match is now against Gravitas

dunno about tentpole. Hes a good consistent/smart fragger but I dunno if he can be expected to take on a massive fragging role straight away. I thought a face or get_right would have been a much wiser pickup. walle is the leader they've needed. He will straighten them up considerably.

Really my comments stem from spawn. If spawn cant get his 05/06 form back then SK are going to miss a real power fragger like f0rest/neo/fnx that will give them that little edge. tent/walle r much more smart team players, allen can fill that role but it still remains to be seen (with the underachieving of past SK teams allen hasn't been given those chances in semis/grandinfals to see how his fragging goes in the big matches.)

I think they are now too smart player/team player heavy = walle/tent/robban. The additions will make them a LOT more professional and tactically precise and bring them up to fnatic/PGS/mibr/NoA tactical sharpness standard. Which perhaps is what they need atm, some stability...

Comes down to spawn and allen. Allen needs to take more fragging responsibility and spawn needs to show us that he can still produce that magic.

should be a fun team to watch :)

SK does it again stealing the NiP players

fisker out, walle in is a HUGE improvement for sk
although im on the fence about tentpole

[:|

rip nip !!

gogog sk !!!

�\(�_o)/�

they couldnt get better experianced and skilled players that these 2 ...
but i hope NiP will remain and with face ,get_right , blomstar and maybe jaegarn and nikolaus will be a good team ;)

why do people still doubt tentpole :-\

GL to sk this lineup has alot of possibilites tactical wise. Hope they bring it all together because it would make every event that much more exciting with another top team who could consistantly place towards the top 3

I like the banner ^_^ walle blured and INS/spawn in focus :)

I Started the FURY craze!

Ok now I gotta tell ya this lineup seems kinda sick.

Striker was good though, I wonder why they kicked him.

"You sir, are an ignorant SOB who will not get anyhere in the eSports community."

Snajdan and fisker will be missed, but hopefully they can climb back to the top of the world rankings.

nice rosT

#15

nip is dead and have no money, no CEO and no support. What should they do?

#23 NiP always come back, it's a never ending story

Spawn looks n00b in that pic

"fRoD doesnt cheat" "#7 online/north america, you do the math" -qu4kE_

nice guys [=

Creator of [= ]=

That picture is like walle pointing towards his crotch area and spawn looking very surprised

ki`m

niiiiice.

Sucks for face/GT.

This lineup has a lot of stars but I don't think they'll be much better.

Sweet, nice lineup.

hi im hydez

After some praccs and some tactical surveys on the maps they could beat fnatic,PGS and ofc all the other teams!

Follow your dreams

ahl, potti, fisker, heaton,... brunk?

sadface.

-SpawN +GeT_RiGhT and it would have been perfect

LOL peace the fawk out~~

"that girl is thick like bifocals, damn" - cho

wOw, why they kicked out striker? He's been really consistent & playing great.

That's a huge lost. -_-

"Yet, another headshot..."

nice lineup

rofl@pic

hEHE

I TOLD YOU ALL! I TOLD YOU! I SAID THIS WOULD BE THE LINE UP AND IM RIGHT!

if NiP is going to fall, i wonder who will pick up face, get_right and bl0mstar? (although bl0mstar was just a stand-in).

Wonder if HeatoN's able to play despite being a CGS gm

finally it's official =D

"Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality."

still don't know will tentpole decide to quit while fnatic was at top (still is) and then joined the not_so_good_NiP, with one bad 2007, and now is trying again at SK..

maybe things are better for him now
