　　Ninjas in Pyjamas have parted ways with their jungler Tri Tin ”k0u” Lam after disagreements with his organization and team. In a statement posted on their official website, they state that k0u was a jungler with immense potential but factors prohibited him from reaching his full potential. The departure follow's Ninjas in Pyjamas' 2-1 loss to SK Gaming Prime earlier this week in the finals of the 2nd European Challenger Series.

　　Clement Chu, the manager of Ninjas in Pyjamas had this to say:

　　”There have been issues with k0u for some time, mainly involving a lack of motivation and a non-serious approach to the game. After a disappointing Coke Series 2 finals loss to SKP, k0u told the team that he would try to reform himself and admitted there were kinks to work out. However, the next day he retracted his commitments and announced he would leave the team immediately. We realize that k0u is a rare talent, and I have no doubt in my mind that if he works hard at it, he will become one of the best junglers in Europe in 3 years time when he has had a chance to mature.”

　　Sources within Ninjas in Pyjamas have told onGamers that k0u's behaviour was extremely problematic as k0u felt that he didn't need to try hard in scrims or in soloq. They state that he refused to participate in team discussions and was pretty immature, but that he was an exceptional talent. NiP wishes k0u the best in his future endeavours.

　　Kou, has added his own statement in a series of tweets, which we have compiled and posted as a quote:

　　As you can see on the news, I decided to leave NiP personally, because of multiple reasons.One of the reasons was, I didn't enjoy playing in NiP at all, the constant whining/complaining/flaming in scrims we had. Was a huge part. was not perfect, but neither was them. When my team started to whine for ganks 24/7 especially toplane, I knew it was over. I'm gonna stop at here, since there are way too many reasons, and I would like to keep it to myself.

　　This roster change follows the addition of Cabochard to the toplane and the recent suspensions of Nukeduck and Mithy
