Not the best season for NIP

Changes in NIP are quite expected if we look at the current season. In 2025, the team has not secured a single prize placement at major events. PGL Astana 2025 ended for them in 5–8th place, Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025 saw NIP finish 9–12th, and at the ongoing StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 the team was recently eliminated in 17–19th place, losing their final matches against PARIVISION and 3DMAX . 

Nonetheless, there is no official confirmation of this information yet, and until an official announcement is made, these remain only rumors. Stay tuned to our portal to learn more about all changes on the professional CS2 scene.
