Luminosity wreck NiP; first in group A

The start to the group A winners' match between Luminosity and Ninjas in Pyjamas was truly back-and-forth, as the teams kept trading rounds one after another up until it was 3-3. Those rounds included Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau's and Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg's triples in forcebuys, as well as Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David's 1-on-3 clutch.

Then Ninjas in Pyjamas managed to pick up two in a row thanks to the economy reset as Terrorists, but more of fnx heroics (two doubles) tied it back up at 5-5. Luminosity pushed it to 7-5 with an eco and a 2-on-3 retake thrown in, and ended the half at 10-5 with a quad by fnx.

The second half saw fnx continue with brilliant play, as he helped his team win the second pistol round with a triple, saving a scary 1-on-3 attempt by Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström.

Two comfortable anti-ecos afterwards the Brazilians executed a strategy on the B bombsite and with another double by fnx, they soon pushed the score to match point and finished NiP off at 16-5.
