Cloud9 secure their first victory at DreamHack Master Las Vegas, as they win 16-14 against Ninjas in Pyjamas in Overpass

NiP began as Terrorists and managed to win the opening round with a 2v3 by Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg and Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi. Despite Cloud9's effort, the Swedish team won the following rounds, including the first gun round with a fast B execution for a 5-0 lead, but the North American team secured the 5-3 scoreline.



Skadoodle did a quad and a triple kill in first half

NiP had guaranteed the next round, but Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham had a big impact as he helped his team win two more rounds until he lost an 1v1 against friberg, which eventually led the Swedish to finish first half with a 9-6 scoreline.

Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip's team won the second pistol round with his triple kill and, although they lost the first gun round, the squad continued to win rounds as they secured a 13-10 scoreline. NiP managed to win four consecutive rounds but, as they lost against a semi-eco with a stylish play by Stewie2K, they couldn't get back to the game and lost for 16-14.

Key Moment: Although there was a 2v3 by Skadoodle and Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta that reset NiP's economy, Stewie2K's 1v2 for the 14-14 scoreline was probably the crucial point that lead to Cloud9's victory

PotM: Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip is definitely the Player of the Match because not only did he have 33 kills, an 122.2 ADR and an 1.47 rating, but also managed to secure one of the most important rounds of the game.
