NIP Impact SIGN VILGA

Ksenia "⁠vilga⁠" Kluenkova has signed with  NIP Impact  after standing in for the team for two months, the organization has announced. She has filled the spot vacated by Jennica "⁠jenkon⁠" Sjögren since May, and now officially takes over leadership duties after signing on ahead of the Fall season.

The 32-year-old was left without a team when her Fearless Cheetahs project disbanded in April after they narrowly failed to qualify for ESL Impact League Season 5 Finals.

It was the first time vilga missed out on playing at an Impact League Finals since the circuit's creation, adding insult to injury mere months after she was replaced by Zainab "⁠zAAz⁠" Turkie on  Nigma Galaxy  (now Imperial fe).

Her former team — twice named the Women's Team of the Year by HLTV — went on to win the event to claim their seventh consecutive ESL Impact LAN title.

Soon after Fearless Cheetahs disbanded, vilga was spotted on the server with  NIP Impact . She played three events with the team before the tournament break, including a victory in ESL Impact Spring Cash Cup 5.

NIP Impact  has a full month to prepare for Season 6 of ESL Impact League, scheduled to kick off on August 28. The Swedish organization has failed to qualify for a single ESL Impact LAN since entering the women's scene nearly two years ago and hopes to turn that around with vilga,
