Swedish esports organization, Ninjas in Pajamas, has announced its entry into competitive Fortnite. The move marks the second new gaming territory NIP has entered this year alone, and as to who will compete on their Fortnite team, one player has been signed so far in Denmark’s Oscar “Refsgaard” Dalgas Refsgaard.
“There’s no doubt that Fortnite is a hugely popular game in general, and it’s been on our radar for a long time. Wary of adding too many titles, we want to keep them all adequately supported with the necessary infrastructure. “, said the COO of NIP, Jonas Gundersen.
“Now we’re adding Fortnite to that mix. Using those synergies coming from Epic like
a publisher in both games and linking Fortnite Creative is a natural next step.”
NIP’s Fortnite team will also be coached by Nic “Wolf” Sølvmose and will make their first appearance in the weekly Fortnite Championship Series Major 2 competition, which takes place on April 13.
