[hkes_show_google_ad] Ninjas in Pyjamas have acquired William “draken” Sundin from Epsilon Esports and have moved Jacob “pyth” Mourujärvi to a sub position, the team announced on Monday. “During the last few months our results have been below our expectations and we have not been able to find good solutions. We have tried swapping roles but we are not able to find a good balance with the current lineup,” Björn “THREAT” Pers said in a team news release. “The key thing we are missing is a dedicated AWPer and that’s why we’re happy to announce the recruitment of William “draken” Sundin. William has been on our radar for quite a while, and with him we believe all the players can play a role they are comfortable with.” draken was the primary AWPer for Epsilon and a rising star in Swedish CS:GO. He ended 2016 with an absurd +792 kill-death differential, making him one of the “deadliest” CS:GO players of the year. “Getting picked up by Ninjas in Pyjamas is a dream come true for me. One year ago, I was competing on the FaceIT platform, where I qualified for the minor in Bucharest,” draken said in the release. “I have since then been working hard on improving and believe I can have an in-game impact in NiP. “Even though the team has struggled a bit lately, they are still one of the top teams in the world and I am humble to have been given this opportunity. I am looking forward to getting started and prove my spot on the team.” The team will make their LAN debut at the SL i-League Season 3 finals on April 4-9. Here’s what the team will look like going forward:

• Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg
• Richard “Xizt” Landström
• Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund
• Adam “friberg” Friberg
• William “draken” Sundin
• Jacob “pyth” Mourujärvi (substitute)
