G2 over NiP; undefeated on day one

G2 came out victorious versus NiP, taking two more points in the round-robin after 16-9 on Train and 16-12 on Dust2.

The last series of day one, week two, started on Train and it was kicked off with another all-headshot pistol ace, this time by Null element. However, Ninjas in Pyjamas couldn't survive the following forcebuy from G2, as Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom and Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy put in doubles to make it 4-1 in their favor, eventually.

Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi's quad gave his team their second round, but Ninjas in Pyjamas were broke shortly after. At 6-2 for the French-Belgian team, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström was given a real chance in a 1v4, but he couldn't finish off the last 1v1. The Swedes were able to win three of the last five rounds to earn a chance in the second half at 5-10.

shox put on a great show against NiP

Their chances got lowered once they lost the second pistol round and the upcoming two with Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon and ScreaM at the helm.

They only strung together the three rounds at the start however, pyth showed up with a couple of triples, one of which was a 1v3, to lower the deficit to 13-9. Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro's triple headshot stopped the rot, Ninjas in Pyjamas were in shambles economically and G2 won Train at 16-9.

Map two, Dust2, started well for Ninjas in Pyjamas who got the first four rounds, the last of which thanks to Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg's defuse in a 1v1 situation. G2 then changed up the pace and went with a quick mid-B split, forcing the Swedes to save three weapons.

shox then won a 1v2 after Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund nearly saved a disadvantageous situation, allowing G2 to go on a roll of six rounds in a row. GeT_RiGhT's 1v1 clutch in an eco put an end to the streak, but G2 quickly started a new one with shox putting in big numbers before the half ended at 10-5 (23-7 K-D).

Winning the pistol put his team on an eight-round advantage, and another triple from the French superstar in the second gunround broke Ninjas in Pyjamas's economy, allowing G2 to get to match point after an anti-eco.

A very poor buy from Ninjas in Pyjamas worked out however, and so did the following several rounds, including one where Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg had to clutch a 1v2 to keep his team's chances alive. It wasn't meant to be however, as G2 finally found a way to the last round at 16-12, gathering two more points in the group.
