Ninjas in Pyjamas have started off strong winning the crucial pistol round on de_dust2. They have swiftly converted it into a 3:0 CT-side lead. As it turned out these were the only rounds they were going to get from fnatic during this half. Everyone on the fnatic side performed very well and there were no weak links that NiP could exploit.
After a couple of round losses in a row, NiP ended up falling into a limbo of forcebuys that were not enough to bring down a fully equipped fnatic. The second half was more of the same, fnatic won the pistol with NiP getting a bomb plant, meaning they could get a full buy on the 18th round.
At this point in time the cracks in NiP's mentality started appearing and a lack of communication showed. Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund decided to go for a "hero Galil buy", with the rest of the team hard-ecoing. The buy didn't bring any effects as only one of the fnatic players went down. Fnatic lost the first buy round, just for Freddy "KRiMZ" Johansson to come in and win a 1v2 clutch round and secure the round for his side.
The final score was 16-4 in favour of fnatic, who will be advancing in the tournament.
