Following Ninjas in Pyjamas' victory at 1win Private Club S1, Adam "adamb" Ångström spoke openly about his expectations for the roster's future, expressing strong confidence in their ability to break into the top ten.
The Swedish player joined NIP alongside new in-game leader Karim "Krimbo" Moussa, replacing Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer and temporary member Roman "n0te" Hamze. Their debut at Logitech G Play Connect 2026 ended in disappointment with a group-stage exit, but the team quickly recovered to claim their first title together.
Adamb revealed he had been in discussions with the organization for several months before finalizing the move. Despite having other attractive offers, the opportunity to compete alongside stavn, sjuush, and xKacpersky proved irresistible. He particularly praised xKacpersky as one of the most talented players he's encountered, highlighting their daily FACEIT sessions and the young player's exceptional work ethic.
The newcomer expressed surprise at Krimbo's natural leadership abilities, noting that the German's understanding of both in-game strategy and player psychology stood out immediately. Adamb admitted he's still adapting to new positions and entry-fragging responsibilities, a shift from his more flexible role with OG.
Reflecting on his previous team, adamb described the OG period as challenging, marked by frequent roster changes and near-misses at tournaments. He maintained respect for his former teammates, particularly praising cadiaN's leadership qualities and predicting bodyy could succeed as a future in-game leader.
The returning NIP member emphasized the intense practice schedule, with team members regularly putting in ten to twelve-hour days. He noted that even veterans like stavn and sjuush demonstrate remarkable dedication, constantly reviewing demos and grinding practice.
With the Major qualification on the horizon, adamb expressed confidence in the team's chances while acknowledging there's still work to be done. The combination of talent, work ethic, and positive team chemistry has him convinced that NIP's return to elite status is only a matter of time.
