Razer has announced their partnership with renowed esports team, Ninjas in Pyjamas. Ninjas in Pyjamas, also more commonly known as NIP, will be getting the best gaming gear from Razer, which includes award-winning peripherals such as mice, headsets, and keyboards as part of Team Razer.
Founded in 2000 in Sweden, NIP has become a staple in the global esports scene, and a powerhouse organization in the competitive first-person shooter (FPS) community. Notable for their presence in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and Rainbow Six: Siege (R6) scenes, the team’s most recent accomplishment was being the Six Invitational 2021 World Champion in May. For CS:GO, NIP signed on one of the best and most consistent players in the game, Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz from Astralis. Alongside longstanding members REZ and Plopski, the team has since reached second place in Flashpoint Season 3.
“I’m really excited for the partnership with NIP, it represents the coming together of two longstanding esports giants. Razer is one of the original esports sponsors, before competitive gaming was even called ‘esports’, and NIP are one of the largest and most established esports organizations, with an illustrious history of successes. Together, we can elevate esports to new heights by bringing more content and new products to the fans.”
Yann Salsedo, Head of Esports (EMEA) at Razer
With NIP’s players equipped with Razer’s gaming gear, they’ll be working closely with the company during the research and development phase of new esports products. From this feedback and field-testing, expect the improvement and development of new top-of-the-line peripherals to push the boundaries of gaming performance.
“As one of the largest esports teams in the world, Ninjas in Pyjamas strives to compete at the highest level and showcase the elite performance from every single one of our players, every time they join the server. The partnership with Razer has invigorated our teams’ drive to win every major trophy we set our sights on. We are excited to compete under the Team Razer banner and look forward to collaborating with such a like-minded partner to expand our global reach.”
