NIP come back from a map behind against NASR

Massive underdogs NASR gave Ninjas in Pyjamas a run for their money in the last quarter-final series at the Global Esports Tour.

Rounding out day one in Dubai, Ninjas in Pyjamas locked in a berth in the tournament's semi-finals. The Swedes, still playing with Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson instead of an illness-stricken Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser, fended off a surprisingly competitive NASR squad after three maps.

The new-look OG, who recently brought in Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas and Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar and are playing their first tournament with the new lineup, await Ninjas in Pyjamas In the next round of the single-elimination bracket.

Everything seemed to be going well for the heavy favorites at first on Mirage. After a brief back-and-forth, Ninjas in Pyjamas took control of the first half on the back of an eco win featuring an Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen triple, and from there NASR didn't have an answer to the Swedish defense.

But when sides switched, it was Adel "⁠Remind⁠" Guermassi's team's turn to dominate on the CT side. Undoubtedly the most experienced player of the roster as a former FORZE member, Almaz "⁠almazer⁠" Asadullin, was firing on all cylinders in particular, leading the way to an impressive comeback from NASR from a 5-10 first half along with Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas.

Ninjas in Pyjamas woke up after the shocking loss on the opener, though, responding with a dominant Overpass victory that saw stand-in ztr top the charts. A similarly one-sided affair on the deciding Nuke followed, with the Swedes finishing off the series in comfortable fashion after all.
