NiP sweep OG 2

OG has been eliminated from BLAST Premier Spring 2020 Europe Finals after a crushing 2-0 defeat to Ninjas in Pyjamas (16-6 Overpass, 16-6 Mirage).

Ninjas in Pyjamas and OG found themselves in the lower bracket of the event early after defeats to Natus Vincere and Complexity, respectively, with their tournament lives on the line in today's match. In the first meeting between the two teams, Ninjas in Pyjamas secured a resounding victory, controlling the game on the Terrorist side of Overpass and looking dominant for the majority of Mirage to take the win. Ninjas in Pyjamas continue their campaign on Friday, when they will face the loser of Vitality - FaZe.

OG's pistol round win was countered by a cleanly won force by from Ninjas in Pyjamas in the second round, setting up the Swedish team for a 5-2 start on the offensive side of their map pick, Overpass. Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski then showed up with a saved AWP in an eco to secure OG their third, but a teamkill blunder in a 3v3 that followed stopped the European squad from building any momentum.

Ninjas in Pyjamas continued their strong run on the offense, finishing the half 11-4 up, before switching to the CT side and winning the pistol by locking down A. The score was 13-4 when mantuu and Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen managed to turn around a 2v4 on B after going into a stacked site, but OG managed just one more round before Ninjas in Pyjamas closed out the map, 16-6.

REZ posted a 1.52 rating on Overpass

The Swedes brought the momentum onto Mirage, as Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt's double-entry on the pistol was outdone by Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson's triple. Multikills from Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson, twist and Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner followed as OG found themselves 5-0 down, and then Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser chimed in with an A hold, seeing the score difference reach seven. AWP entries helped Aleksib's team to finally stop the bleeding, grabbing a lifeline before the half by securing five rounds as T.

Any thoughts of a comeback were blown away as Ninjas in Pyjamas ran over OG as they switched to the T side, claiming the first four rounds on the offense. Aleksib's AWP triple gave OG one on the CT side, but two A crunches in a row worked out perfectly for Ninjas in Pyjamas, concluding Mirage 16-6 and the series 2-0.
