Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi has returned to Ninjas in Pyjamas' primary roster, after sitting on the bench for three months due to a hand injury, the team announced on Sunday.

“It feels really good to be back again with the boys,” pyth said in the team's statement. "Thanks for the support and everyone that believes in me."

pyth has been sitting on NiP's bench for over three months due to pain in his hands, and the team fielded Epsilon eSports' Joakim "disco doplan" Gidetun from Aug. 17-25. He played 10 maps during ESL Pro League Season 4 (they won seven of those 10 maps) before he was replaced by former NiP player Maikel "Maikelele" Bill on Aug. 30.

In the time period where pyth was on the bench, NiP won SL i-League Season 2, the team's second championship of the year, but finished in last place at EPICENTER: Moscow 2016. They went on to place 3-4th in the ESL One Pro League Season 4 finals and they advanced to the ELEAGUE Season 2 playoffs. All of which pyth had to watch from home.

“I got more nervous from watching the matches at home than playing them because you get a different view of the game. Sometimes when they lost I wish I could do something about it,” pyth said.

The state of NiP’s roster was put into question as it was stated in an interview with Epsilon eSports William "draken" Sundin and HLTV that his former teammate disco doplan received an offer from NiP. This seemed to imply NiP’s intention of replacing one of their players, but the team has now returned to their primary five since pyth joined the team on Dec. 29, 2015.

NiP’s next game will be during the ECS Season 2 League play on Nov. 8, where they will face off against Team Dignitas, while their next LAN event will be IEM Season XI Oakland on Nov. 16.
