The One Game Agency has announced that Team Kinguin will replace Ninjas in Pyjamas in the Counter Pit League.
The Swedish team have decided to withdraw from the $50,000 league, in which they had not yet played a single game. No explanation was offered by NiP, but it is believed that the team decided to prioritise the other online leagues in which they are competing.
Replacing the ESL One Katowice runners-up will be Team Kinguin, who are currently making their LAN debut at DreamHack Summer. The European mixture's first match in the league is scheduled for Wednesday, against Gamers2.
