NiP move on to DH final

Ninjas in Pyjamas have earned themselves a showdown against VeryGames in the DreamHack Valencia final after moving past k1ck 2-0.

It was actually k1ck who took the momentum early on, starting out on the Terrorist side on de_inferno and taking the opening two rounds. However, a well-planned eco strategy from NiP got them the first round of the game. The Portuguese team were not impressed, though, and and took back a two-round lead, only to lose to an ecoing NiP once again. The Swedes dominated proceedings for the remainder of the first half as they went up 10-5 at half-time.

In the second half, k1ck came out stronger once again and took the pistol round, but then fell victim to NiP's eco once again. Some rounds were then exchanged between the two teams, but the Swedes kept their cool to take the first map 16-9.

de_nuke was the map that followed, and here NiP finally managed to win the pistol round, thanks to some solid work from Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson. k1ck then won the following eco round, with Fábio "n3w" Teixeira taking down three players, but once again they found themselves helpless against NiP's eco strat as the Swedes regained the lead. The rest of the first half was a one-side show, with the Swedish team storming to an impressive 13-2 lead.

On the Terrorist side, k1ck were able to win the pistol round for the third time in the game, but they were once again surprised by the eco strategy from NiP, who would go on to win the map 16-4.
