Look Sports Media – Swedish powerhouse Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) is pulling out all the stops to commemorate their 25th anniversary with a spectacular Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) showmatch. The event will pit the organization’s current CS2 stars against a legendary lineup of NIP veterans, promising a clash of generations that fans won’t want to miss.
The celebratory showdown is scheduled for Wednesday, November 5th, and will be broadcast live on NIP’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. Fans can also tune in via the personal Twitch channels of Counter-Strike icons Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg and Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, ensuring maximum accessibility for viewers worldwide.
At the heart of the legends team are f0rest and GeT_RiGhT, pillars of the iconic NIP squad that once held the world record for an astounding 87 consecutive wins in CS esports.

"I’m looking forward to celebrating this significant milestone for NIP alongside my former teammates from over a decade ago," said f0rest, now a Brand Ambassador for NIP. "Together we achieved a Major title and a win record that still stands today. It’s now time to prove that we have still got it against some of the best players in the world, who proudly represent NIP today."
Representing the current NIP roster will be talents such as Rasmus "sjuush" Beck, Artem "r1nkle" Moroz, and Kacper "xKacpersky" Gabara. Adding further spice to the mix, Ksenia "vilga" Klyuenkova and British star Mia "aiM" Cooper from NIP Impact, the organization’s female CS2 team, will also be participating.
"It’s going to be a lot of fun playing against some of the all-time greats," commented sjuush, a key player in NIP’s current CS2 lineup.
The showmatch will be structured as a best-of-three series. However, NIP is ensuring maximum entertainment value for viewers. Should the series conclude with a 2-0 score, a bonus showmatch will be played, mixing players from both the current and legendary rosters for a unique and engaging third game.
NIP has also promised top-tier broadcast talent for the event’s commentary, with details to be announced on their social media platforms soon. For local fans, NIP is hosting a limited-capacity watch party at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in Stockholm. Tickets for the watch party will be free, with further information to be released shortly.
