G2 to the grand final over NiP in Malmö

3-9-2017 13:29

G2 have become the first grand finalists at DreamHack Masters Malmö after beating NiP 2-0 (16-9 on Inferno and 19-17 on Cache).

The first semi-final at DreamHack Masters Malmö was between G2 and Ninjas in Pyjamas. The Frenchmen started on the CT-side on Inferno which was the first map in the best-of-three series.

G2 had a strong start and stopped the T-sided Ninjas in Pyjamas in the first three rounds. Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström and Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg clutched a 2vs4 in the first weapon round as their team trailed 1-3. Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt's double kill in the following round made it 4-1 and the Frenchmen got two more rounds before Ninjas in Pyjamas could respond.

G2 will be in the grand final

Ninjas in Pyjamas secured their second round after G2's aggressive plays across the map didn't work out (6-2). Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon got a quad kill in a 2vs4 situation and clutched the round, extending his team's lead to 8-3. shox finished the half with twenty four kills and his team led 12-3.

William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin, Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner, and f0rest shut down Banana in the second half pistol round, giving Ninjas in Pyjamas their fourth round. The round win could have triggered a comeback effort but G2 had other plans as they secured the following round with a force buy (13-4). G2 wrapped it up with a 16-9 scoreline.

Cache was the second map and the CT-sided G2 picked up the pistol round with Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire's triple kill. When G2 were leading 3-1, they had a 5vs2 advantage but they lost the round to Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund's quad kill. Ninjas in Pyjamas got six rounds in a row to lead 7-3 but the Frenchmen turned it around to finish the first half 8-7 ahead.

NiP's run in Malmö is over

Ninjas in Pyjamas tied the game with the second half pistol round victory and won three more rounds, making it 11-8 in their favor. After a back-and-forth half the map went to overtime.

draken almost clutched a 1vs3 in the first round of overtime but NBK- killed him to put his T-sided team ahead. The French squad won the first half 17-16. shox & co. won the map 19-17 and series 2-0 to advance to the grand final in Malmö.

Oops

nt REZ

unlucky, nip is showing some good things tho

5 replies

How they were unlucky it was clean 2-0. Sry i didnt watched the match.

2017-09-03 14:50

Easily could have won second map if they didnt make a couple mistakes/apex spray two guys through smoke. First map would have been way closer if they didnt fuck up their post-plants in the first half. Idk it's their fault they lost, G2 were better, but with a bit more practice and Draken/Rez more experience they can be Top 5 I think

Lol draken doesn't really need more experience, he's playing perfectly fine. Rez does.

2017-09-03 17:27

Playing perfectly fine? He's been playing well for sure but he's overextended a lot and missed a lot of easy shots that he'd deffo hit normally

-xizt -rep + 2 other swedish players problem solved with nip

2017-09-03 13:38

They lose one close BO3 on their second LAN to G2, a team full of talented aimers and HLTV instantly wants to kick half of NiP. Classic stupidity at work

2017-09-03 14:03

REZ lose cache for NIP. gg die 10 times on B without any kill

G2 is so good in this tournament. The have win vs Envyus, IMT, SK and NiP. Such à great team. It's gonna be difficult vs Gambit but they can do that ( if it's north it's will be so ez )

need a good awper for NIP. draken had good frag score but he missed many key shoots and pls watch draken, he has no gamemind, he could never read the game and they lost. i think even allu is better than draken.

2017-09-03 13:41

lol draken carried so hard this game

2017-09-03 14:05

lmao allu better. rofll

2017-09-03 13:44

great game from NiP hope they can keep getting better

2017-09-03 13:46

DRAKEN: "I THINK WE HAVE ALL THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS TO BECOME TOP 1 IN THE WORLD"

I think semi-final in the most stacked tournament of the year is right on track. I don't see any team claim a clear "Nr 1 of the world" any time soon tho, to competitive in the top right now, and that's awesome :)
