Ninjas in the Major: NiP qualify for IEM Rio over Cloud9

Ninjas in Pyjamas have booked the second IEM Rio Major spot up for grabs in the Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) A tournament following a nail-biter 2-1 victory against Cloud9.

NiP arrived in this series as heavy underdogs considering that they recently changed in-game comms to English, gave the in-game leadership duties to new player Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, and made star rifler Fredrik “REZ” Sterner the primary AWPer instead of Patrick “es3tag” Hansen all after a disappointing performance in ESL Pro League season 16 during September, but they outclassed C9 thanks to impressive individual showings from Hampus Poser, REZ, and Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin.
