YaLLa Compass Spring 2024NIP best FURIA to reach YaLLa Compass finals
The European squad have secured their first grand final at a notable event in years.
Ninjas in Pyjamas have emerged the victors in YaLLa Compass Spring 2024's second semi-final, taking down FURIA in straightforward 2-0 fashion to secure a place in the final versus The MongolZ.
With this win, Ninjas in Pyjamas' newly-assembled roster has secured the organization's first international LAN final appearance since Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022.
While NIP will be celebrating their impending final appearance, FURIA look forward to a period of rest after a difficult 2024 season, with their next outing not scheduled until mid-July.
For the Brazilian side, the team's semi-final finish at YaLLa Compass is their best LAN showing of the year. FURIA topped their group, notching four BO1 wins and just a single loss to BIG, but failed to look nearly as competitive on stage against Ninjas in Pyjamas.
With vague comments from FURIA co-owner André Akkari regarding "good news" coming during the player break, it is very possible that YaLLa Compass served as the final outing for this iteration of the team's lineup.
The series kicked off on Ninjas in Pyjamas's pick of Ancient, where FURIA got off to a strong 5-1 start on the offense. This lead did not last long, as Artem "r1nkle" Moroz and Fredrik "REZ" Sterner soon began to warm up into the game, allowing NIP to wrest control of the map.
FURIA would go on to claim just two more rounds after their initial 5-1 start, as Ninjas in Pyjamas locked down their pick with a 13-7 scoreline.
FURIA's pick of Nuke was more competitive to start with as each squad struggled to find footholds early on, but Ninjas in Pyjamas ultimately came out on top on the defense, as r1nkle continued his impressive run of form from Ancient.
After laying claim to the second pistol round, Alejandro "alex" Masanet's men propelled themselves to match point, and although FURIA managed to stave off elimination for a few rounds longer, it was only a matter of time before the map was closed out 13-7 for Ninjas in Pyjamas.
