West Ham's Michail Antonio and Javier Hernandez learn how to play CS:GO from Ninjas in Pyjamas' pro players

West Ham stars Michail Antonio and Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez changed roles as they competed against each other in first-person shooter, CS:GO. The game is one of the leading esports titles and, like the Premier League, is watched by millions of fans around the world.

Fortunately for the footballers, they had the pro players of Ninjas in Pyjamas to coach them as part of the Betway Insider Esports Challenge. NiP are legends in CS:GO, winning prestigious tournament IEM Oakland two years running and earned almost £2million in prize money.

Neither Chicharito or Antonio had ever played a game on a PC before but we have seen the latter compete in UFC 3.
