NiP win FACEIT Cup over VeryGames

10-9-2013 16:22

Ninjas in Pyjamas came from behind to beat VeryGames 2-1 and win FACE ITs August Cup.

It was a keenly-contested monthly tournament, the one that FACEIT organised on Monday, with the competition having some very interesting games as early as in the first round.

Still, all the four invites teams managed to make it to the semi-finals, where NiP eased past fnatic 2-0 and VeryGames breezed through Astana Dragons, also with the same scoreline.

In this classic CS:GO final, VG came out very strongly, winning de_dust2_se 16-13, but then NiP responded in convincing fashion and beat the French side on the other two maps (16-14 on de_mirage_ce and 16-12 on de_inferno_se).

did you tards even watch the game? almost every round that shox didn't lag they won. hence the 16 - 12 score. in regards to the 19 matches VG has lost against NIP. lol good logic buddy... everyone knows all the other teams have been catching NIP it's just a matter of time. either way i'm really looking forward to DH B

nothing you could compare man, shoxie wasnt even playing on some round, that was not just some "random lags". without that they could have won inferno and even mirage as it started on it. not an excuse as I think nip still would have won that bo3.

2013-10-17 02:08

No one is catching NiP, they are just making slightly more mistakes.

2013-09-10 17:52

2013-09-10 17:54

isnt this the old story that every team is catching up nip, it was all started may be 8 months ago but still ppl saying everybody catching up nip and u ll be saying this prolly after couple of years too

2013-09-10 19:06

to be fair, that really had an impact, he lagged badly when NiP got its first crucial weapon round in the second side. I'm not saying this would have completely changed the match, but it definitely had an impact, and nip players know that. Regardless of the result, just for the show and for the sake of knowing that both teams brought their best, it's unfortunate.

2013-09-10 17:08

There will always be excuses. But that was VG's match and they would have won. "NBK had to poop rly bad" plz stop being pathetic. So it took them 19 matches to get better at playing vs nip ? And how can lagging be an excuse ? 250 in ping is not playable.

Yeah he actually is. I've always seen him with a 70-90 ping which funny enough is steady. But playing with a ping which is jumping from a normal ping to 250 in milliseconds is the same ?

Doesn't the lag affect nip as well? Would he be harder to hit or something?

2013-09-10 17:53

There's a huge difference between ping from distance from server and ping from just losing packets and dying internet etc

2013-09-10 17:21

1 reply

+1 I have played on 200 ping on esea US servers before and while definitely not ideal, it is "okay". I have also attempted to play with packet loss before and it is beyond fucking ridiculous. Warping around walls, seeing the enemy seconds after they actually peaked, it's a nightmare.

2013-09-10 17:23

hahaha youre officially an idiot :D adren played with at most 100 lag which is really annoying but still u can help your team. 200+ lag = no way u can do something. i didnt watch the match nor do i care who wins but saying someone can perform with 200 ping is stupid

2013-09-10 19:04

that kind of lag is not compareable, adrens lag only affects in the way of delay, however, with shoxies lag u can barely move or switch a weopon

2013-09-10 19:24

He.... didn't.... lag.... that.... much..... Did you even watch the game ROFL. His POV was literally like a slide show, he had upwards of 300 ping and was constantly prevented from even moving let alone aiming at somebodies head due to the lag he was experiencing. I'm sure you are very proud of NiP scraping a win 4v5 on inferno.

2013-09-10 17:22

He didn't lag much? .. you didn't watch the game did you.

Nop he absolutelly is not an onliner, but beside having the night of his life yesterday, he often chokes with pressure/nerves. Lan enviroment is much different than playing on the confort of your house homie ;)

9 replies

"Lan enviroment is much different than playing on the confort of your house homie" What's the problem in that? If he has proven himself lan several times - which he has - why should people bash him when he plays online at his home - more calm etc - as you said?

2013-09-10 18:34

8 replies

Problem in that? Thats a fact where did i stated that there was a problem with that? Lets get real: ScreaM did the performance of his life, carrying VG on his back completely alone, and they still lost. Do you honestly think ScreaM will put up a similiar performance in a bo3 vs NiP on lan? Not saying he will perform badly, but THAT good?

2013-09-10 18:38

5 replies

He is capable of performing that good - of course - and ScreaM has carried VG million other times. But since they went 2 maps - he had that much frags - let's see they win 1 round against NiP on lan - then discuss the frags after.

2013-09-10 18:44

2 replies

He is not capable of performing like he did yesterday on lan and dreamhack will prove you wrong, I dont really need to say anything else. And no, ScreaM did not carried VG a million times on lan, and thats the reason people and myself consider shox and NBK way better players than scream.

2013-09-10 18:48

actually scream doesnt carry VG almost anytime XD

2013-09-11 14:14

'and they still lost' --> doesnt really matter. i agree that scream wont perform as good as he did in this bo3 but theres a high chance that shoxie and nbk will play a lot better (yes, also forest will perform better). just wanted to say that this part is unnecessary :P btw i dont care who wins so im probably not biased

2013-09-10 19:12

1 reply

Im swedish and i dont care aswell, just care for a good show :) Agree, shoxie and nbk normally step up on lan specially NBK, same as f0rest. Theres really no way to know what will happen, but im betting on a NiP win on lan without any doubt>!

2013-09-10 21:24

performing good and performing excellent on lan is like day and night. nbk is usually the guy who carries them on lans. and its a fact that u feel more pressure on lan than in some online tournament and if u cant get rid of that pressure youre gonna perform worse

2013-09-11 18:01

I dont think they will "suck" on lan, but im pretty sure some players will not perform as beastly as they did, which will make VG a less strong team.

they did have good conditions? best conditions are when youre playing in your own house, not on lan, because youre used to play at this place (however motivation isnt as high as it is on lans). and no, vg are not that far away from beating nip, they have already played several close maps with nip and who knows what would have happened if they won some of them

they weren't just giving a fuck, dh next week, they wouldn't show all their strats in a online match like these.

2013-09-10 18:11

Ex6TenZ actually played really well which was nice to see. Scream obviously beasted it and the rest were strong too. Shame they lost in the end but they gave them a great game on all three maps and it genuinely could have gone in VGs favour on inferno in slightly different cicumstances.

-ScreaM +apEX 71.0 hs% and +90 kills doesnt mean you win important rounds or make the right decisions ))

scream actually shut me up in this bo3 and in the latest games,he let go his stupid shooting style and his movement is a lot better(he doesnt only clicks W and runs),apEX is a "fool" player in a nice way ofcourse :)

Honestly I'm not that familiar with apex's play style / his usual role in teams. But what I've seen from ScreaM is that ofc he's a superior aimer compared to almost any1. But. For example the game vs NiP he made some really awkward mistakes, (like in D2 he didnt call 2 guys coming B, which led them to lose the round because 2 of the remaining VG guys were at A). At least that's how I personally saw it. And I recall reading in some article/comment that people say that he ain't always communicating enough, which in CS of course is crucial ))

Really hope your trolling, i get it when people say ScreaM's game sense and decision makeing falters abit sometimes, but the fact is that he wins alot of important rounds like 1v2 , 1v3 or multiple 3-4-5k for vg almost everytime they play and thats a fact, i dont know where people get that idea do some of you even watch the games?...
