Apemother, who stood-in for team se Alliance for a time, was the mid-player of team se LAJONS - later on acquired by the well-known Counter-Strike organisation Ninjas in Pyjamas. The team managed to distinguish themselves from the rest of the similar-tier competitors by their dominant performances and are close to securing their spot in the MLG Pro League LAN finals with an outstanding record of 9-1. The team also has landed a position in the joinDOTA Masters.

However, such as it is with all teams who strive for greatness, change is deemed a necessity by the players and the coach, and therefore NiP has decided to replace their mid-player Joel se "Apemother" Larsson with Linus se "Limmp" Blomdin according to Swedish website Aftonbladet Esports.

"As always, we are sad to lose a family member and all we can do is wish Joel the best of luck by letting another team take part of his skills."
- Per Lilliefelth, CEO of se NiP.


The rest of the team thank Apemother for his time, making a statement about the arrival of their new team-mate.
"Unfortunately, sometimes we need to make changes and this is definitely not the last time we meet our friend. With that said, we have chosen to try "Limmp" from complexity, as we decide on who is going to play as mid-player in our lineup."


As it stands, the team's performance in MLG Pro League and joinDOTA Masters can be a showcase of their newly acquired asset.
