NiP over dignitas in nail-biting battle

23-1-2015 23:49

NiP prevail in dignitas' LAN debut with the new roster following a nail-biting battle, which finished after a single overtime at 19-17 on de_dust2.

NiP and dignitas ended up playing de_dust2 and it was the Swedes who started off on the offence and soon after the beginning of the match found themselves trailing 4-3.

Dignitas racked up three more rounds on top of that, also thanks to René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg's AWP quad, but NiP answered with four of their own towards the end of the half before it was 8-7 in favor of dignitas.

NiP evened things up with a pistol round on the defence, and despite a lost anti-eco, they continued to deny entrys into sites with Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund at the helm who scored 25 kills before 14-9.

NiP open up with an overtime win

Dignitas picked up three in a row in return, this time it was Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz on the sniper position, and with GeT_RiGhT falling down on long, NiP had to save for the last three rounds of the match.

A misplay on NiP's side in a two-on-two at the B bombsite cost them the lead, but Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg's quick AWP quad got them to 15-14 before dignitas overpowered the A bombsite from long again for overtime.

Dignitas were in control of the first overtime round, but then f0rest replied with another solo play with a triple on B, as well as Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg with a one-on-two for 2-1.

Two mid-B strategies coming from NiP were split one for one between the teams, but NiP tried the same thing again after a quiet initial minute, as they closed the game out at 19-17.

Should it not be "the DANES who started off on the offence..." ? Since it was Dignitas who won the first pistol and got to 4 rounds early... Sry for bitching..

Did NiP start T side? Then they're the offence. CTs are defence. Who's winning rounds is irrelevant.

Expected

2015-01-24 00:04

Forest looks in great shape

maikelele pls hold once

Great match! Really hoped for the dignitas win - hopefully they can bounce of this match and get a win streak going

2015-01-23 23:54

f0rest so calm with that tap @ b. he did it once against markeloff @ inferno

2015-01-24 01:29

It was a nailbiter

2015-01-24 01:30

So close. f0rest with the sick plays.

2015-01-23 23:59

Great match! Them holds on the B-site by F0rest was sick. Good to see GTR on fire and Friberg getting them entries.

GTR gets the frags but f0rest makes all the huge plays and highlight rounds.

GeT_RiGhT did some huge plays as well, one 4k that led to a eco fro dignitas. f0rest didn't really show up untill the end, but those two rounds man =D

2015-01-24 00:51

gtr gets the important frags and also plays very smart but f0rest is great too.

2015-01-24 13:02

NiP, NiP!

Dupreeeeh looked so tired lel... Dig wouldve won with him on top :)))

he couldent even hit ppl in the back from short;(

2015-01-24 00:02

Easy to say that tbh. If GeT_RiGhT played to his full potential it would have been easy for NiP. Well played by dig though, really close and interesting match :D

2015-01-24 00:08

my love won this <3 forest

2015-01-24 00:01

i need to stop watching DIG play. i get to angry with the constant pub errors. no other team fucks up like DIG. when they stop that i see them winning lans.

totally agree. It's infuriating.

2015-01-24 00:03

fucks up? You do realise the were behind 9-14 or something, can't really remember, but that is a well performance itself

2015-01-24 01:54

how can pros be SO calm when they see 3 enemies in front of them? If I see 2 im like holy fuck spray for your life. I guess thats why im not a pro :'(

Forest things <3

2015-01-24 00:10

I guess thats why you're a nova 3 xD No offence

mge actually :|

2015-01-24 00:21

drugs actually you don't need to be pro, to do that, just remember you're not playing on your own life it's a fucking video game, how can you not learn to be calm?

2015-01-24 01:57

I report f0rest for skin stealing

He's already in jail. (Btw, ty for skins)

missed the second half, glad it was so close though. hope more nail biters are on the way. I've had a counter-strike boner for well over 3 hours, any more of this and I'll need to contact a doctor.

2015-01-24 00:22

f0rest give me my 4 cent skin back #jail

2015-01-24 00:24

HS% of Xizt...

2015-01-24 01:22

Great match, forest was insane in some of those rounds. Gotta give a big thumbs up to karrigan though, he looked really good in this one, I hope he can keep it up as he is one of my favorites and it would be awesome if he could show all those haters that he still has it.
