Cloud9 stun NiP 16

Cloud9 moved up to second in Group A following a 16-7 win over NiP on de_nuke.

After losing their first match in Aspen, Cloud9 entered this game in a must-win situation, and they got off to a good start in this match as they took the first three rounds of the first half thanks to a triple kill from Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert in the pistol round.

The first gun round also went Cloud9’s way, which allowed the North American side to take a 5-0 lead, but then NiP finally managed to respond and win their first round of the game despite finding themselves with a two-man disadvantage early on.

A quad kill from n0thing in the following round frustrated NiP and completely broke the Swedish team’s economy. As the game wore on, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström’s side became more and more desperate to get a couple more rounds on the board and make a potential comeback on the CT side a little bit easier.

With n0thing and Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares running high on form, NiP had to rely on the raw skill of Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg, who gave his team their second round of the match with a triple kill in the 13th round. Still, Cloud9 remained calm and collected and won the following rounds to take a 13-2 lead going into the second half.

n0thing inspired Cloud9 to a great win 

In the pistol round, Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill gave NiP the round on a silver platter with two opening kills outside, which deeply hurt Cloud9 before they could even make a move.

The following four rounds also also went to NiP, but then a timely upper push from Cloud9 broke put a stop to the Swedish team's winning streak. Two great AWP kills from Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan then put Cloud9 on the verge of getting their 15th round, though the hero turned out to be Mike "⁠shroud⁠" Grzesiek with a 1-on-3 clutch on the lower site.

It was a hard blow for the DreamHack Winter runners-up, who also conceded the following round. Their hopes of reaching the semi-finals now lie on beating KaBuM, who are about to face dignitas after thrashing Cloud9 earlier today.
