NIP sign krimbo on loan from BIG as new in-game leader

Ninjas in Pyjamas have signed Karim " krimbo " Moussa on loan from BIG as part of the organization's latest leadership change.

The German rifler will replace Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer and take over responsibility as NIP's new in-game leader.

krimbo replaces Snappi

Snappi recently stepped down from NIP's active roster after the organization began exploring alternative leadership options.

krimbo now fills that vacancy.

The 24-year-old has been on BIG 's bench since October 2025, bringing an end to a long spell with the German organization that began through its academy system.

He originally joined BIG Academy in March 2022 before establishing himself on the main roster.

Limited competition during BIG bench spell

krimbo has played very little official Counter-Strike since being benched.

His only notable appearances came during a short stand-in stint with Liquid at IEM Kraków 2026 Stage 1.

That run included a victory over NIP — the same organization he is now joining — before Liquid were eliminated following defeats to G2 and FUT.

The move gives krimbo an opportunity to return to regular tier-one competition after almost a year away from an active lineup.

NIP continue rebuilding

NIP's latest change follows a period of inconsistent results and repeated roster adjustments.

The organization had already signaled its intention to move away from Snappi's leadership and was evaluating multiple replacement options.

krimbo will now be tasked with calling for a roster that includes sjuush , xKacpersky , stavn and n0te .

The deal is currently structured as a loan from BIG rather than a permanent transfer.
