Earlier today we announced the Ninjas in Pyjamas return and now we have an interview with one of their players Adam “friberg” Friberg who is former player of CS:S and represented Team Heat Gaming.

Hello, Adam! Firstly, I want to congratulate you on your entering legendary team Ninjas in Pyjamas! What are you feeling now being a part of NiP?

"Hey there! Of course I find it very exciting, NiP is a big name within eSports so it's a big honor to represent them!"

You were playing Counter-Strike: Source for a long time before this day. What teams have you been representing, what titles have you won and why have NiP chosen you, not another player?

"Yes, I've been playing CS:Source competitivly since 2008. I've been playing for teams like H2k-Gaming, Blight, 30P-Gaming, FRAGMASTERS TOXIC and Heat-Gaming. Around 2010 my game developed a lot and I became one of the best players in Sweden and since then I've been going around to diffrent top events in Europe with various teams. I think NiP picked me up because of my ability to frag, and as CS:GO is more like CS:Source then 1.6 I've had a bit of advantage with the enviorment of the game."

Ninjas in Pyjamas seems to be a partner with ZOWIE company, is it truth or only а rumor?

"NiP will announce all our sponsors in the next few days, so stay tuned over at our facebook page & website (https://www.facebook.com/NipGaming and www.nip-gaming.se)"

How are you feeling playing side-by-side with two legendary CS 1.6 players f0rest and GeT_RiGhT and one of the best ingame leaders in the 1.6 community Xizt?

"It's great having all these players around you when you play, they are all cool guys both in-game and outside of the game."

As I noticed above, Xizt was an amazing leader while playing Counter-Strike 1.6. Will he lead Ninjas in Pyjamas or this role is given to you or another player?

"Xizt will not be our in-game leader, as we have Fifflaren that's been an in-game leader for over 6 years in CS:Source. I'm sure Xizt will be there to back him up, more than the others, if necessary =)"

There is no announcements from big events' organizers, excepting ESWC and ESEA (not European). Are you planning to visit champ in Paris and what plans in general does your team have now?

"At the moment there's not a lot of tournaments announced, but we will make sure to attend as many events as possible and we are already aiming towards ESWC in Paris."

So, I wish you and your team good luck in the future and hope to see Ninjas in Pyjamas back to top positions like in 2007! Any last words to you fans and community?

"Thank you! Stay tuned over at our facebook page and website for more info about sponsors etc in the next few days!"
