FACEIT Major 2018: victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas

A well-deserved win!

 NAVI.GG.BET played against  NiP at the FACEIT Major 2018 in a Bo1 during the third round. The series finished with 16:6 the way of  NAVI!

Train - Natus Vincere [16:6] NiP

The game started off with a victory during the pistols - even though s1mple got heavily damaged,  NiP got trapped on the bombsite and destroyed.  NAVI capitalized on the early round and took 2 more before  NiP got a decent round and came on board.  NAVI had to save during the next round, as  NiP almost covered the disadvantage. It was not meant to happen, though, as  NAVI didn't want to let the opponent catch up to them. 2 more rounds solidified the advantage of CTs at 5:2. 

NiP weren't the ones to give up on the game, though, as they went on a streak of their own, with very close rounds. Ultimately, they closed the gap at 6:6, but failed to break ahead yet again. 2 more rounds secured the half for us, as we hit 8:6, and subsequently, won the half 9:6. It was a good first half, but we still had to close the map.

The pistol round of the second half saw  NAVI break into the double digits territory, and maintain the round series, despite  NiP coming quite close to turning the game around. We kept the lead going, and made it to 15:6 very soon. The last round of the map saw  NAVI put up a very good show, finally destroying  NiP on Train!
