Ninjas in Pyjamas have completed the signing of German rifler Karim "Krimbo" Moussa on a loan arrangement from BIG, marking a significant roster shift for the struggling Swedish organization.
Krimbo arrives after spending nearly a full year on BIG's inactive roster following his benching in October 2025. His only competitive action during this period came at IEM Kraków 2026 Stage 1, where he briefly stood in for Liquid across three matches, ironically defeating his new loan team before tournament elimination at the hands of G2 and FUT.
The German player will assume in-game leadership duties, filling the void created by veteran caller Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer's recent move to the bench. This marks a return to tactical leadership for Krimbo, who brings considerable experience from his time with BIG.
Krimbo's pedigree includes progression through BIG's academy program starting March 2022, remaining with the organization until last October. His tenure with the German squad yielded impressive statistics, including a 1.10 rating and three Major appearances between 2022 and 2024, achieving Legends stage qualification in each.
This represents NIP's second roster adjustment since summer began, following Artem "cairne" Mushynskyi's transfer to fnatic and the promotion of academy player Roman "n0te" Hamze as a stand-in.
Ninjas in Pyjamas have struggled throughout 2026, unable to crack the tier-one scene consistently. The team remains outside the top-20 on VRS rankings, primarily competing at tier-two events while experiencing early exits at higher-caliber tournaments they manage to reach.
