NiP, Epsilon win group A openers

14-6-2014 16:48

Both of the favourites, NiP and Epsilon, managed to go through to the upper final of group A after wins over their respective opponents, Berzerk and Publiclir.se.

With a delay due to power and internet issues, first matches of DreamHack SteelSeries CS:GO Championship have been played out, as we see both favourites through to the next round as expected.

NiP have been drawn to Berzerk, the former ALTERNATE team, and vetoed the maps until de_inferno was left. Even though NiP choked in the beginning, coupled with a disconnect, and went up only 8-7 as Counter-Terrorists, they still finished the game at 16-12.

Epsilon on the other side were set to play against Publiclir.se, who have replaced ENCE after their withdraw from the tournament due to personal issues.

Despite the Frenchmen started as Terrorists, they were able to get a 12-3 lead before switching over to the other side, and closed the game only four rounds afterwards at 16-3 on de_inferno.

Yeah, they had chances, but in the end NiP's experience and class prevailed.

2014-06-14 16:51

Yeah, they made some critical mistakes, I was facepalming when kHYSTAL pushed with a usp in boiler. I was impressed by alexrr's awping, he should've used it in CT, imo. Fel1x played amazingly and kHYSTAL played really well. It was fun to watch. :)

Ah ok, sorry. :(

Shame? they got more rounds then anyone would have thought, they should be pretty proud imo

They lost two anti-ecos and got the score reset from 5-5 to 5-4 when gtr crashed. I doesn't matter what anyone thought before the game, they had a real shot at a win here.

They could but they did some supid mistakes thats difrence with big teams and low teams!

NiP keeps their best game for the toughest opponents mate, i really doubt that this was their best performance;] anyway berzek played great aswell

Seems legit like yesterday spain in wc keept they best game for toughest opponents!
