Christopher ‘’GeT_RiGhT’’ Alesund has decided to hang up his mouse after an illustrious career with Ninjas In Pyjamas. The Swedish legend has played for NIP for most of his career and has led them to a major victory. He might lack individual accolades but is hugely appreciated among the Swedish fans.

The 29-year-old decided to leave the Swedish roster earlier this year but stayed behind for a final major of his life. Ninjas in Pyjamas announced today that he is no longer a part of their active roster, and they are already looking for his replacement.

Once a Ninja, always a Ninja.

Thank you for everything, @GeT_RiGhT
