Virtus.pro eliminate NIP from cs_summit 7

30-1-2021 16:40

The CIS team continued their hot streak and haven't lost a single map in the tournament yet.

Virtus.pro are through the semi-final stage of cs_summit 7 following a 2-0 win over Ninjas in Pyjamas. The CIS team had already defeated the Swedes earlier in the tournament, and they were able to record a repeat victory, this time on different maps, with Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali and Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev putting up strong individual performances.

Even though Ninjas in Pyjamas won the first pistol round of Mirage, it was Virtus.pro who dictated the rhythm of the half. Jame barely missed any shots and topped the scoreboard with 16 kills and only three deaths in the first half, helping his team to secure a 10-5 lead. The CIS team quickly put the Swedes on the ropes as they reached map point at 15-8, though it would take them five rounds to close the game as Ninjas in Pyjamas attempted a late comeback.

Jame had a stellar performance on Mirage

The series proceeded to Dust2, where Ninjas in Pyjamas found themselves 6-3 down despite winning the pistol round and the anti-eco as they gave Virtus.pro too much room on the A site. The Swedes tightened up in time to win five in a row and win the half by a minimal margin.

Virtus.pro rapidly took the lead once they were on the CT side, though. They held Ninjas in Pyjamas's players back with a double-AWP setup, eventually hitting map point at 15-10. Just like on Mirage, the Swedes still showed some signs of life, but just when overtime seemed inevitable, Qikert pulled off an astonishing triple-kill with the M4A4 to take Virtus.pro across the finishing line.

VP look way too hot for mouz. If karrigan doesn't continue playing like jesus himself, mouz will have a very tough time.

2021-01-30 16:48

NIP fix: -new logo +old logo

2021-01-30 16:51

expected 32-0 but ok, nipels need massive changes if they want compete against top teams

Looks like Hampus took some lessons from blamef to learn how to bait and statpad Hope this helps

2021-01-30 16:52

Virtus.Pro is actually looking good, with small changes this could be the best team in the world imo. And I think NIP hasn't been that bad for idk. maybe ever, just save hampus and REZ.

2021-01-30 16:56

Who would you replace with who ?

Ignore that guy, he will probably say some random shit like "-jame +seized" as he is either baiting or just braindead. VP don't need any changes, they are doing great and with enough time they might become a top5 team.

2021-01-30 18:28

This guy is a walking braindead dont listen to him

2021-01-30 20:42

I would add a more experienced coach, I would get more stuff behind them, psychologists and stuff, I think it would be enough.

I agree with all the external stuff but I definitely would not change any player right now.

2021-01-31 13:44

2021-01-30 17:53

KEKW pls disband

2021-01-30 17:57

2021-01-30 18:04

As I have said NiP is in the worst form it has even been in the history of CS

Yeah since April-may 2017 that's when I started following them

2021-01-30 18:24

Like when it formed in 2001 it basically instantly has an era, and across 2005-2006 they are a top team who win lots of events, and their last year in 1.6 (2007) They are still an alright tier 2 team. Obviously when they come back in 2012-213 it is uncontested on how damn good they were, I mean 87-0. 2014 was a rough year but still pretty good, including a major win. 2015 was a horrible year for NiP (and correct me if I'm wrong but I think they didn't win a single large event) but they still made 2nd in lots of large events (including a major) 2016 was an alright year with NiP continuing to be a top team and winning the first large event in the history of CS with a stand-in. 2017 saw them continue to be a top team and included a miraculous win over FaZe at Oakland. 2018 was a tough year but they still made top 4 in lots of large events. 2019 was even worst but at least NiP showed signs of life and still showed themselves to be a top 10 team (although barely in my opinion) 2020 has been an absolute shit show, and jokes aside it would actually be reasonable to disband or completely reshape the team.

2021-01-30 18:34

I mean they were decent in mid 2021 had a few deep runs

2021-01-31 07:22

1. 2020* unless you know something we don’t and NiP will return to form in 2021. 2. I mean ya, but they have had even deeper runs in every ever year of their existence.
