NIP to compete at Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022 with stand-in

NIP's in-game leader Hampus "hampus" Poser will not be returning to the main roster for Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022 after being forced to go inactive due to illness at the end of May. The player himself announced this on Twitter.

As at the recent IEM Dallas 2022, Erik "ztr⁠" Gustafsson, a member of the Swedish organization's academy team, will stand in for the Ninjas at the upcoming event. Without the IGL on board, at the US' tournament, the team managed to finish only 9-12th.

Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022 will take place from June 9 to 11 in Dubai, UAE. Eight participants will battle out $250,000 in prize money in the playoff format.

At Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022,  NIP will compete with the following lineup:

 Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
 Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora
 Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin
 Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen
 Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson
