About Ninjas in Pyjamas
Ninjas in Pyjamas formed in Sweden in June 2000 and was one of the first great CS 1.6 dynasties, winning the CPL World Championships in 2001. The 2012 reformation in CS:GO produced a legendary Swedish lineup that won ESL One Cologne 2014, the Cologne Major, and reached four other Major finals in the game's first three years. The organisation has since been a staple of the scene but has not matched that peak, and in 2026 it spent most of the year outside the top 20 before rebuilding around Krimbo and adamb. NiP remains one of the most recognised brands in Counter-Strike.
Ninjas in Pyjamas has won a Major: DreamHack Winter Major Cologne (ESL One Cologne 2014 Major). Rankings change after every big event, so use the table above as a snapshot and check the standings again after the next tournament.
