Ninjas in Pyjamas has announced the parting of ways with Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke, ending his tenure with the team that lasted more than a year. The Danish player joined NiP in January 2023 and stayed with the team until March 2025.

Disappointment after failure at the RMR

NiP 's performance in 2024 was unsuccessful. The team finished the PGL Major Copenhagen: European RMR A in 15th-16th place without winning a single map. This was the first time since 2018 that NiP missed the Major. Earlier, in January 2024, they failed to pass the open qualifiers at IEM Chengdu, which only confirmed the crisis in the team.

The biggest achievements in NiP

Despite his recent unsuccessful tournaments, k0nfig had several important results in NiP:

• BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 - “Legend” status, the team stopped one step before the playoffs;
• BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 - 1-3 place;
• IEM Sydney 2023: European qualification - 4th place;
• CCT Season 1 Finals 2023 - 3-4 place;
• IEM Dallas 2023: Open Qualifiers - winner.

However, the main disappointment was a series of failures in 2024, which led to the organization's decision.

What's next for k0nfig?

At the time of publication, the future of k0nfig remains uncertain. He is an experienced rifleman with extensive experience in Astralis, Complexity, and Heroic. His playstyle involves aggressive entry-fragging, which can be valuable for many teams.

Ninjas in Pyjamas, in turn, continue to reorganize the roster with a completely new team and are preparing to finally show good results.
