NiP top Group B, Vitality eliminated from ESL Pro League

ENCE and G2 are through to the playoffs from second and third place.

Group B at ESL Pro League Season 13 has come to a close following the final three matches, which saw FaZe, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and MOUZ secure one-sided victories over ENCE, Vitality, and G2, respectively.

The Swedes have come out on top of the group with a 4-1 record and, as a result, will get to face another first-placed team in the Play-in stage and skip two to three rounds in the playoffs. With that, Ninjas in Pyjamas have secured at least a top-six finish already, which will come as a big boost of confidence to Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner & co. after they were eliminated early from IEM Katowice and from Snow Sweet Snow 2 in the past month.

NiP move on to the Play-in stage after clinching the top spot

Meanwhile, after having already booked a spot in the playoffs ahead of their final matches, ENCE and G2 have finished Group B in second and third place with three wins each, leaving Vitality eliminated in fourth place with a 2-3 record.

The early exit comes as yet another blow to Vitality, whose results have plummeted after they entered 2021 with third place at the BLAST Premier Global Final, as they have failed to make a deep run at three consecutive events since the opening tournament of the year.

You can find the final standings of Group B below:

Group C is up next at ESL Pro League Season 13, kicking off on Friday, March 19. The group features the current No. 1 squad, Natus Vincere, as well as Gambit (#5), FURIA (#12), Cloud9 (#26), MIBR (#33), and TeamOne (#53).

"I aren't". You're definitely from US. But anyway, I completely agree with you. They have small chances of finding a success in playoffs, they barely made it through the group stage.

Maybe not first, but playoff I think most who goes by results and play rather than names of teams or players. Clearly Better than Ence, mouz, faze. Vs G2 and Vita it would be close.

With Apex IGLing vitality only wins because of Zywoo overperforming and other players having a decent game. I don't see them winning much against well structured teams like Heroic, Astralis Navi Big etc. I don't know why Alex left the team or was kicked but he was good for vitality.

NIP is actually looking pretty good, if only their AWPer would gain some consistency they could be a TOP 5 team. And Vitality have been looking bad, the faster they make some roster adjustments the better I think.
