NIP to compete at PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 without coach

NIP's coach Richard "Xizt" Landström will miss the upcoming PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 Counter-Strike 2 tournament, which kicks off in just a few days.

The esports athlete himself announced this via his X social media account: "We are expecting our first child soon. I will not be attending PGL Bucharest to spend some time at home with the baby".

It was previously revealed that team's IGL Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer will still participate in the upcoming competition in Romania. He was originally meant to miss the event due to the birth of his second child.
