The most global digital sports group in the world​

Ninjas in Pyjamas​

Born in 2000 with Counter-Strike in our blood, we have pioneered the esports scene since its inception. We earned our stripes by competing at the very top level across almost a dozen game titles and we never lose — we only win or learn.​

Back then, esports was barely a thing. Today, it's a fast growing global industry. That didn't happen because we visionaries stuck to conventional wisdom. It happened because we decided to change the game. Our vision is to bring gaming culture to a world without boundaries.​

The NIP story​

We were born

In the early days of Counter-Strike, there was NIP and not much else. Two years of domination made our quirkily named clan synonymous with Swedish CS​

The rebirth

After a few years apart, the original Ninjas got back together to represent Sweden in a burgeoning CS scene. It went fine, but younger talent soon outpaced the old guard​

We Dominated

A reformed NIP kicked off the era of CS:GO with the longest win streak in CS history — 87-0 cemented the NIP name in the annals of esports​

we solidified

Under new management, set on building a real business in a young industry, the organization started expanding into more titles​

the expansion started

Seeing new upportunities across the world, we established our first international venture in Brazil​

we became truly global

With the merger of NIP and ESV5, we became the first organization to truly bridge the gap between China and the West​
