Ninjas in Pyjamas' League of Legends Journey

Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP), a renowned Swedish esports organization, ventured into the League of Legends (LoL) scene in 2013 by acquiring the former Copenhagen Wolves roster. This marked their entry into the competitive LoL landscape, participating in the European League of Legends Championship Series (EU LCS) Summer Split. (lol.fandom.com)

Despite initial challenges, including roster changes and performance inconsistencies, NIP's commitment to LoL remained steadfast. In 2021, they merged with Chinese esports organization Victory Five, rebranding to Ninjas in Pyjamas and entering China's League of Legends Pro League (LPL) in 2023. (dexerto.com)
