NiP finished in the top 6 at IEM World Championship Katowice and in the top 8 at the recent DreamHack Marseille. They also had a top 8 finish at ESL One Cologne last year - will they manage to climb up higher this year?

Later today, we will get to watch NiP compete at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals in Dallas , after they finished second in the online portion of the season, with 52 points earned in 26 matches. Their first matchup will be against the currently struggling SK Gaming. We’re looking forward to see how the Swedes will fare in the US.

See you in Cologne!

ESL One Cologne will take place on July 6-8 in the legendary LANXESS Arena - be sure to join us at the cathedral of Counter-Strike !
