NiP defeat Na`Vi in Malmö, to semis

2-9-2017 18:02

NiP took down Natus Vincere 2-1 (Train 6-16, Nuke 22-20, Mirage 16-8), advancing to the semi-finals at DreamHack Masters Malmö.

The second quarter-final of the day started on Train, Natus Vincere's map choice, with Ninjas in Pyjamas picking up a nearly-flawless Terrorist pistol round. After losing the following two, the Ukrainians won the gun round thanks to Ioann "⁠Edward⁠" Sukhariev finding the last three enemies and defusing the bomb in the last second.

From that point, Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko's men kept winning rounds, securing a 7-3 lead before the Swedes were finally able to respond. Then, William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin almost clutched a 1v3, but Na`Vi would win that round, setting themselves up for a 10-5 half-time lead.

Natus Vincere began the second half with a successful A execution, which meant that the Ukrainian squad would easily pick up a 13-5 scoreline. Despite losing the gun round, Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev and co. went on closing out the first map with a dominant 16-6 win.

NiP move on to semi-finals in their home country

Starting out as Counter-Terrorists on their opponents' map pick, Nuke, Na`Vi secured the pistol round, but were not able to counter Ninjas in Pyjamas's force-buy. It was Natus Vincere's turn to win with pistols, however, and they followed it up with two more rounds.

Ninjas in Pyjamas then won the following two, forcing the CIS-based team to save in the eighth round. A series of back and forth rounds followed, but Zeus' team managed to come out on top, breaking the Swedes' economy in the 11th round. From that moment onward, the Swedish five were only able to find a way to break through Natus Vincere's defence in the last round of the first half.

Much thanks to a triple-kill from Zeus, the Ukrainians picked up the T-side pistol round, meaning that they would easily reach 13 rounds. Then, the first gun round marked the beginning of a four-round streak from Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Although a triple-kill from Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev paved the way for his team's 14th on the board, another trio of kills from draken in the next round gave the Swedes some room to breathe. Ninjas in Pyjamas still managed to win five in a row, but, as both teams traded rounds, Nuke went to overtime.

Zeus' Na`Vi have placed 5-8th in Malmö

Despite a slow second half, Natus Vincere began overtime on the right foot, securing the first two rounds as Terrorists. However, the Swedish squad managed to take the game to a second overtime, and lock down the map, 22-20, to take the series to a third map.

The decider map was Mirage and Ninjas in Pyjamas started it out as Terrorists. After reaching a 4-0 lead, the Swedes lost two rounds, but they would continue to prevail against Natus Vincere's defence, Down 10-3, Na`Vi still managed to win one more round until the end of the first half.

The third pistol round win in favour of the Swedish men opened the way for their place in the DreamHack Masters Malmö semi-finals. Natus Vincere tried to find a lifeline in the game, but Ninjas in Pyjamas were too hot to handle and finished off the map, 16-8, and the series, 2-1.

First map NiP got destroyed. Second map went to double overtime with NaVi taking 2/6 rounds (4 to win). And you call that an EZ KATKA? I have more money in my pocket now than the whole economy of Bangladesh.

2017-09-02 21:55

I'm not from Bangladesh, I'm from Evil Japan you one-braincell having caveman.

2017-09-05 09:55

Didn't expect NiP's mirage to be so good. WP !

2017-09-02 18:03

NaVi suffered from a terrible Comeback on nuke... I'm pretty sure they felt like it was over on the third map. That's how important being mentally strong is

2017-09-02 18:15

might be but NiP has definitely improved there , mirage used to be their permaban and now they chose to ban cobble and inferno instead of it.

2017-09-02 20:19

It was a really good match

2017-09-02 18:04

at least seized back in form. nip was clearly the shittier team but na'vi deserve to lose, threw so many advantages and rounds on nuke, and so many important match points.

Therefore Navi was clearly the shittiest team

amout of cancerious luck from NiP on Nuke was too much to handle. Zeus had some good rounds, Seized, S1mple and Edward did well. where did s1mple 1vs9 dumb blind fangays

2017-09-02 18:22

NaVi gg :(

Nice to see, I like that a team that went for young rising talents in combination with older experienced players performs well. Imao FaZe made a mistake by going for old have-been superstars Also draken one of my favorite players right now

I am the navi fan, but nip deserves it

2017-09-02 18:53

I remember when Draken was on the Cringe Gods line up. Everytime I see a future star player I remember them and follow their teams. First Niko in iNation then s1mple in Hellraisers, and now Draken. These players have a magical attribute that just tells you that they have bright future.

Simple - god. but NAVI - not!

2017-09-02 18:54

nice play s1mple

i can only say, god simple, djezus this kid is worth tons of money.......

2017-09-02 18:55

should have finished them on nuke, but ggwp, deserved by NiP, as even tho Na`Vis choke on nuke, they dominated mirage and won last map without a chance

Nah NaVi lost the series on Nuke. fuck this shit reminds me on old NaVi with zeus. always when they lose matches they should have won, they always have lost the series afterwards... Zeus Mentality under Gambit was suprisingly good, but on Navi mhh?

He will be the same in Na`Vi, the problem is that all players are so inconsistent except s1mple. Edward was God today but the other day he could be a bottom fragger without a serious impact. Flamie was good against Renegades, but i have not seen any clutch or huge impact this game against more powerful opponent. Seized was not bad today, but still did not do anything close to what s1mple&Edward did. They probably need some fresh crazy fragger, i dont think this line-up will show something more(at least making it to final) in few months. Na`Vi managment shall not give them more than 2/3 months.

2017-09-02 22:00

This guy with this team, can not get any title, wake up pathetic!

2017-09-03 00:26

His reply is true even when Na'vi was a good team they weren't winning anything, always top 4 and finals but not winning anything. Zeus is not the solution, I think Gambit proved that today.
