Former Ninjas in Pyjamas member Richard "Xizt" Landström has guaranteed that he intends to keep on playing competitively.

The 26-year-old is weighing up his options after being replaced by Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman on NiP's roster as the Swedish giants looked to fine-tune their squad following a run of poor form.

Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström had been part of NiP since the organisation was relaunched, in August 2012, leading the team through most of those years, in which the team most notably won the ESL One Cologne 2014 Major, DreamHack Masters Malmö 2016 and back-to-back IEM Oakland events.

Xizt wants to continue playing

On Twitter, the Swedish veteran reacted to the news about his dismissal, admitting that this was "a sad day", and spoke of his desire to continue playing.
