NiP scrape by NRG, now 2-1

NiP have slipped by NRG 16-14 on Cache at the ESL Pro League Finals, now being on a 2-1 score in group B, while the latter are 0-3.

As the underdogs that NRG are at this event it would be crucial for them to at least get a good start which they did by grabbing the pistol round on CT-side and eventually moving to a solid 5-0 lead before Ninjas in Pyjamas did an interesting A-split that bewildered "⁠⁠" and his men and took their first two rounds.

Winning the next round put the international mix-team in danger of being reset, but a well timed push from Jacob "⁠FugLy⁠" Medina out from quad position on A straight out denied the Swedes entry, as he took a triple kill and NRG got on a 8-2 lead.

A furious 3K entrance from Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg on to the B-site spurred on the ninjas to take three more rounds, but even against halfbuys cobbled together with pistols they had difficulties with picking apart the CT's as the much touted masters of Cache kept losing the opening picks. A strong performing Nikola "⁠LEGIJA⁠" Ninić could close out the half 10-5 for his team.

NRG proceeded to also take the pistol on their T-side, though the Swedes answerred right back on the forcebuy as an armorless Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund got an impressive three kills altogether, he being alone on the A-site as the took the last two.


The old guard came alive for the Ninjas in the second half

Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz and co. managed to counter-reset the CT's soon again and now being ever closer to the upset as they traded rounds back and forth, now on a 14-8 lead. Much like the ninjas got successive bomb plants on their T-side, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström's squad were equally strong on the retakes, reading the Terrorists plays from a good distance and clawed the match back to just a single round deficit 13-14.

Tragically, the mix-team had exhausted their buy rounds as GeT_RiGhT shut off any last hopes in the 30th round grabbing another triple with a counter-boost over mid. Ninjas in Pyjamas win the map 16-14.

NRG was in lead (14-9 or sth. like that) and lost all rounds with several of them without doing any harm and killing someone. So NiP could easily boost their stats.
