Crea benched from NIP

After more than a year under the Ninjas in Pyjamas banner, Charles "CREA" Beauvois has been benched from the starting roster going forward, effective immediately.

Despite early promising results in 2021, that included a 1st-4th place finish at both VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Europe - Challengers 1 and VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Europe - Challenger 2 - Play-Ins/Play-Offs for the EU scene, the team has not had any excellent results as of late. After finishing in 5th during VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Europe Masters, the team failed to qualify for either Masters 2 or Masters 3, forcing the organization to make changes for the next set of tournaments. As of now, there is no VCT until 2022, however there will likely be tournaments hosted by other organizers in the coming months.

During his time with NIP, Crea played in 168 official matches under the Swedish banner. In those matches, he played Omen 127 times, along with Astra another 27 times. Primarily the smoker role, he performed quite well, amassing an ACS of 196 and a rating of .92. According to himself, Crea will be taking a short break and looking at the best available options moving forward as it comes to his future.

With this change, Ninjas in Pyjamas is now: Emir "rhyme" Muminovic Egor "chiwawa" Stepanyuk Yaroslav "Jady" Nikolaev Adam "ec1s" Eccies
