NiP officially announced the loan of German rifleman Krimbo from BIG, who has been on BIG's bench since October 2025.
Krimbo will also take over the command, filling the roster spot left vacant after veteran IGL Snappi was benched.
During his nearly one year on BIG's bench, Krimbo only played three matches, a brief stint as a substitute with Liquid at IEM Krakow 2026 Stage 1, where he defeated the team he's now loaned to, before being eliminated after losses to G2 and FUT.
Krimbo rose through BIG's academy system in March 2022 and remained with the German organization until being benched in October 2025. During his tenure, he maintained a 1.10 rating and qualified for three consecutive Majors between 2022 and 2024, achieving Legend status each time.
This is NiP's second roster move since this summer, following the transfer of cairne to fnatic and the promotion of academy player n0te to substitute.
NiP have struggled to break into top-tier tournaments in 2026, consistently remaining outside the top 20 threshold in the VRS rankings. They have primarily competed in second-tier events to boost their ranking while being eliminated early in the MVP-level tournaments they qualified for.
The current NiP roster is:
