Hampus\u2019 six-month stint on the Counter-Strike <\/em>sidelines is reportedly nearing its end this week as the Swedish star prepares to make his return to competitive play.<\/p>
The Swede\u2019s impending return could see one other unlucky player of the current Ninjas in Pyjamas lineup pushed by the wayside in favor of the high-fragging rifler, according to a roster report from HLTV<\/a> on June 1. Nothing is set in stone yet, though\u2014there\u2019s also a chance he could actually move elsewhere as NiP assesses its options.<\/p>
Hampus was originally benched of his own accord ahead of the 2023 Spring CS:GO <\/em>season. The Swede shared he had to take an extended break away from the competitive esport due to unspecified health reasons<\/a> earlier this year, which saw Kristian \u201ck0nfig\u201d Wienecke step onto the NiP roster as a replacement signing.<\/p>
The 24-year-old’s last game was in late January against BIG<\/a> in the 2023 BLAST Premier Spring Groups. The then-predominantly Swedish roster had only just fielded young-gun AWPer Headtr1ck and was struggling to maintain a constant lineup.<\/p>
