In the early match at ESL Pro League Season 14 today, NIP met the Brazilians from TeamOne in an exciting Group D matchup. It was the Swedes who ended on top, as they showed great character coming back from a crushing defeat against Liquid in the last round.
The Hampus “hampus” Poser-led side began the match by stealing TeamOne’s map pick on Nuke, owing to a stellar CT-side in the first half, where especially Nicolas “Plopski” Gonzales Zamora presented a great level of CS. The 19-year-old rifler ended the map with a 1.41 Rating.
On the second map on Overpass, it was TeamOne who came out flying in the beginning. Led by the promising Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa they managed to set up an impressive 10-5 score before the switch, through 21 kills and a 1-95 Rating by the Guatemalan international.
However, TeamOne couldn’t maintain control and slowly NIP began to sneak their way back into the match. Despite a 14-10 lead by TeamOne, it was NIP who could take the 2-0 win after an OT win on the second map.
