Counter Strike 2: Wildcard rifler susp will stand in for Ninjas in Pyjamas In-Game Leader Snappi at the PGL Masters Bucharest..

Swedish Counter Strike 2 club Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) announced on Wednesday via their official X (Twitter) account that Wildcard player susp will stand in for their In-Game Leader, Snappi, at the PGL Masters Bucharest.

According to NiP's official statement, Snappi's absence was approved by the club due to family matters, as he needed to be with his wife due to the upcoming birth of a child.

However, NiP did not specify the player who would be taking over the In-Game Leader role.

It is worth noting that Snappi had already been absent since July due to his desire to pursue further professional opportunities in Europe.

The PGL Masters Bucharest will be held in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, from October 24th to November 1st.

NiP will undoubtedly be looking to avenge their narrow runner-up finish to NAVI in the StarLadder Series Fall finals two weeks ago.
