headtr1ck - new sniper Ninjas in Pajamas

The Swedish esports organization Ninjas in Pajamas has officially announced the transfer of headtr1ck. The 18-year-old Ukrainian becomes the team's new sniper, welcoming his first full experience on the TIER-1 scene. The debut of the young esportsman will take place as part of the upcoming BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, where the Swedish team will face NAVI in the first match.

Well, we can finally say that we have a sniper. For real. Happy New Year us! We are happy to announce that we have signed Daniil "headtr1ck" Valitov to our CS:GO team. He spent the last two years with NAVI Academy, first with NAVI Youth and then with NAVI Junior. Headtr1ck is one of the hottest young players coming out of the academy and we are looking forward to his first tournament as a ninja at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 in Copenhagen.

Daniil is an exceptionally promising young AWP talent that we are incredibly excited about. He's a great fit for our entire organization and we're thrilled to add him to our roster. 2023 and beyond look promising.

headtr1ck has been a part of NAVI since the beginning of 2020, getting into the academy project. During this time, the 18-year-old Ukrainian player managed to get from the Youth level to the second NaVi Junior squad. Under the banner of "Born to Win", the esportsman got into the TOP-3 according to the results of Gameinside.ua ROG Winter Cup 2020 and WePlay Academy League Season 2.

In addition, headtr1ck was invited to play for the main NAVI team several times - at the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15 and BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2022. Nevertheless, at the end of last year, the Ukrainian club decided to say goodbye to the esportsman by putting him on the transfer list.

As a result of this transfer, REZ steps down as a sniper and hands them over to headtr1ck. The 18-year-old Ukrainian will try on a new uniform as part of the upcoming BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 - Ninjas in Pajamas will play in the same group with NAVI, BIG and G2 Esports.
