NIP win Fragadelphia Las Vegas

NIP's win on American soil will grant them a significant boost to their VRS points.

r1nkle finished the playoffs with a 1.56 rating over 10 maps

Ninjas in Pyjamas have claimed the title at Fragadelphia Las Vegas, taking down NRG and Sharks en route to the $5,500 grand prize and, more importantly, invaluable VRS points.

The Ninjas enjoyed smooth sailing throughout the majority of their playoff run, even cruising to a 3-0 win against Sharks in the BO5 grand final, but NRG gave the European side a stiff test in the semi-finals.

After NRG and Ninjas in Pyjamas both secured wins on their own map picks, the series went to Train as a decider, where three overtimes where needed to decide a winner. Artem "⁠r1nkle⁠" Moroz was ultimately the difference maker, his 1.02 KPR dwarfing the rest of the server as he topped the scoreboard.

r1nkle was Ninjas in Pyjamas's star man through much of the playoffs, leading to the AWPer topping the event for rating (1.56 over 10 maps), whilst Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck played second fiddle (1.34, fourth in event).

Ninjas in Pyjamas will enjoy a significant boost in their quest to climb the VRS thanks to this LAN victory, with current calculations suggesting they will leap almost 50 places in the next update, having garnered nearly 200 points for their campaign.

Ninjas in Pyjamas will be relieved that this LAN outing was a success, considering their most-recent attempt to garner VRS points at a lesser LAN ended in disaster. The European side recently attended Level Up LUND!, crashing out in the quarter-finals at the hands of TNL.

Following two LAN events with weaker fields, Ninjas in Pyjamas will soon get the chance to test themselves at a tier-one event as they are set to attend PGL Astana from May 10-18.
