NiP win FACEIT March Cup

27-3-2014 13:13

Ninjas in Pyjamas came from behind to beat LGB eSports 2-1 and win FACEIT's March Cup.

Following a mouth-watering first day that brought a number of surprising results, such as Titan in the quarter-finals at the expense of Property or 3DMAX, who had just undergone a roster change, moving past fnatic, only four teams remained in contention for the first prize of $1,600.

NiP breezed past 3DMAX 16-4 in their semi-final match, while on the other half of the bracket it was neck-and-neck between Property and LGB-eSports, with Dennis "dennis" Edman's side running out 26-24 victors after several overtimes.

GeT_RiGhT once again in great form

The first map of the best-of-three grand final was de_season, where NiP had just defeated Virtus.pro, in the ESEA League. This time around, NiP were simply no match for their opponents as LGB picked up a stunning 16-4 victory, with Simon "twist" Eliasson leading the scoreboard on an impressive +17 rating.

The next two maps tell a whole different story: inspired by Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, NiP picked themselves up and ran out 16-5 and 16-13 winners on de_dust2 and de_train, respectively, to win their first FACEIT trophy of 2014.

Yes, but I think that's the 1st time I see this.

2014-03-27 15:06

That's because on season LGB crushed NiP winning with 3-4 members alive. On D2 NiP many times winning with only 1-2 members survive.

2014-03-27 15:20

If you were watching the game LGB saved a lot of the times.

2014-03-27 15:45

SWÄRJE! Swedish top 3 and 3 awesome teams. Lets hope they keep performing.

2014-03-27 16:38

This was the best I have ever seen fifflaren play.. he still sucked.

2014-03-27 16:39

Yeah, it really is the best i've seen him play too. On dust2 at least, he was hitting shots he would never hit. He did not suck, but his best is not amazing.
