NiP got off to a flawless start to the series, dominating Cloud9 on their own map pick. But Cloud9 managed to bounce back on NiP’s map pick of Overpass which took them a while to squeeze through as they were only two rounds from victory with the score being 14-4 in the beginning of the second half. The two teams followed each other on the decider of Train, with Cloud9 coming out on top to claim a 9-6 advantage before the second half. As the teams switched sides, NiP didn’t manage to stabilize their CT defense and get their bank rolling even though they won the pistol round.
MVP:
Even though NiP lost, Fredrik “REZ” Sterner managed to finish on top of the overall scoreboard.
