NiP to SLTV grand final over Titan

Titan picked off two NiP players in middle, and then attacked B to win their de_dust2 terrorist pistol round. Two NiP saves later, including a triple headshot effort by Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom, they led 3-0.

Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson's three kills got NiP the first round, but even his early pick on Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans wasn't enough next round, as a pair of kills by Benrlitom made it 4-1.

A save round later, Nathan "NBK" Schmitt got four AK47 kills to break NiP's bank again, extending Titan's lead to 7-1. Johansson's early pick was once again for nothing, as Schmitt took care of business later on.

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund bought an AWP on a save, but it was taken away as Titan ran over NiP. Next two rounds then went to the Swedes, with solid play by Richard "Xizt" Landström and Johansson in particular.

Fifflaren's strong play early on in de_dust2 yielded little results 

Titan took the momentum back one round later with Schmitt's continued strong play. A pair of kills by  him helped the French-Belgians wrap the A bombsite, and extend their lead to 10-3.

Landström then pushed catwalk to get three aggresive kills in the middle, but Schmitt matched him and won Titan the round. Final round saw Alesund get two MAG-7 kills, but it wasn't enough to stop Titan.

Up 12-3, Titan's Benrlitom and Schmitt massacred NiP on the second half pistol round. After a save it was 14-3, and then doubles by Kenny "kennyS" Schrub and Benrlitom gave Titan map point.

NiP then mounted a mini comeback that saw Alesund win a one-on-one despite Schmitt's triple, and a pair of kills by both Alesund and Adam "friberg" Friberg, but ultimately Titan closed it out 16-8.

Titan won the series' third pistol round as well thanks a double from Schmitt in a lower bombsite retake. A lonely AK buy from Landström didn't do much in round two, but Friberg's triple got NiP on the board right after.

NBK was incredible in Titan's de_dust2 win 

Benrlitom's two P250 kills weren't enough to sway a save round, but a double from Droolans got Titan back on top. That was short lived though, as a quad kill plus a one-on-two from Lindberg tied the game.

The French-Belgians attempted a weak MAG-7 force buy with no results, and a pair of kills from Landström and Alesund got NiP up to a 7-3 lead. Then it was Edouard "SmithZz" Duboureaux' turn.

Dubourdeaux got a triple M4A4 kill in the lower bombsite, and doubles from him and Droolans got Titan to five. One more stop in upper later NiP had to save to tie it up, but Friberg and Johansson secured NiP a 8-7 lead.

Droolans' side quickly mowed NiP down at ramp to tie the game up, but NiP quickly regained control by stopping Titan in their tracks on the save round right after, thanks to Friberg's two kills.

friberg had some big rounds for NiP on de_nuke 

NiP wound up winning three more rounds in a row before Schrup inspired a comeback from Titan. He first AWP aced NiP, and ten put up four kills with Schmitt to make it 10-12.

Next round Dubourdeaux and Schmitt combined for four, and after a save from NiP the teams were tied at twelve. Then it was time for NiP's two superstars to take over and finish the map.

First Lindberg got two kills to give NiP back the lead, and then Alesund scored a triple in upper to force Titan on a save. Lindberg then clinched the map 16-12 and tied the series with three kills on the final round.

Friberg started de_inferno with a one-on-one win in the A site as terrorists. Titan almost won a save round, but Landström prevailed in a one-on-one, and then Johansson won a one-on-two two rounds later.

kennyS still unable to take down NiP 

Up 4-0, NiP surrendered against a saving Titan team, as Schmitt got the better of Landström in a one-on-one battle in B. From there on out the map was all NiP though.

NiP easily went up 6-1, and then Friberg won a two-on-four with Landström in B. Dubourdeaux' double had Titan on the verge of winning a round, but Johansson came through with another big one-on-two to make it 9-1.

Three kills from Droolans got Titan their round number two, but Landström beat Droolans in a one-on-one next to make it 11-2. Final two rounds were traded, and NiP led 12-3 at half.

Johansson's three Five-Seven kills got NiP the pistol round, and Lindberg's double got them game point. From there it only took one more round, which NiP instantly won, to clinch the map 16-3 and the series 2-1.

Titan place third at SLTV StarSeries IX Finals for $5,000, while NiP will go on to face Natus Vincere in the grand final at 18:00 with $14,000 up for grabs for the champions.
