FNATIC, Ninjas in Pyjamas to participate in StarSeries i-League S8

The two strongest CS:GO teams from Sweden, FNATIC and Ninjas in Pyjamas, have secured the next pair of invites to the LAN-finals of StarSeries i-League S8.

FNATIC

At the beginning of 2016, FNATIC won the inaugural season of StarSeries i-League CS:GO, which was held in Minsk. Also, FNC are the vice-champions of Season Seven that took place in China, as they lost to NAVI in the final match. It is worth to mention that with the new roster Fnatic won their first LAN - DreamHack Masters Malmö 2019. They will make another attempt to conquer the trophy at StarSeries i-League S8, but this time they will have Robin "flusha" Rönnquist and Maikil "Golden" Kunda Selim on their side.

Ninjas in Pyjamas

On the other hand, Ninjas in Pyjamas are the winners of the second season of StarSeries i-League CS:GO. However, it’s been three years since then, and the only player from that roster who is still remaining is Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg. Now, he is surrounded by young talents, with their recent signing Simon "twist" Eliasson being one of them. StarSeries i-League S8 will be only the second LAN for NiP with the former player of FNC in their lineup.
