Ninjas in Pyjamas have won DreamHack Open Valencia following a 2-0 victory over Red Reserve (16-10 on Mirage and 16-2 on Cache).

The all-Swedish clash for first place in Valencia began with Red Reserve getting out to a 5-0 lead as Counter-Terrorists on their map pick, Mirage. NiP nearly pulled off a semi-buy in the sixth round, but Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill managed to win it with a last-second defuse.

It was only then that NiP secured their first round. After following it up with two more rounds, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström's men allowed their opponents to string rounds together once again, but the Ninjas picked themselves up in the final stages of the half and reduced the gap to 6-9.

Now playing as CT, Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg and co. quickly got to the lead for the first time in the game. NiP lost a single round before continuously stopping their opponents' T-side strats, finishing off the first map with a 16-10 scoreline.

The second map was Cache, NiP's map pick, and it kicked off with Red Reserve finding two kills and planting the bomb in A. Still, Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner helped his team to secure the round with a quad-kill.

Even in gun rounds, REZ and co. continued to control the pace of the game, and they closed out the half with a dominant 13-2 lead. After picking up the pistol round, Xizt's team easily closed out the map, 16-2, and the series, 2-0, to secure the first place and a $50,000 payout.
