The second day of the BLAST Premier Fall Final<\/a> featured the last four series of the group stage, which would give us the six Counter-Strike teams that would advance to the playoffs and the first two teams to be eliminated.<\/p>\n

Early on Thursday, Ninjas in Pyjamas clashed with Natus Vincere in the first elimination game of the Fall Final in Group A, and it would be the latter that would claim a resounding 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n

The series began on Overpass, which was the pick of NiP; however, NaVi looked very much at home on their opponent’s pick, as they jumped out to a quick 10-2 lead at halftime after a dominant CT side.<\/p>\n

Led by Kristian \u201ck0nfig\u201d Wienecke, NiP would return serve with its own dominant CT side, claiming nine of the next 11 rounds to bring the scoreline back to 11-12 before NaVi wrapped up the series with a 13th round win.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for NiP fans and neutral Counter-Strike<\/a> viewers, the second map wasn\u2019t even close, as NaVi closed out the series with a 13-6 win on Mirage to close out the series and send the Ninjas packing.<\/p>\n

With Oleksandr \u201cs1mple\u201d Kostyliev taking a break from competitive play, Valeriy \u201cb1t\u201d Vakhovskiy and Justinas \u201cjL\u201d Lekavicius had to stand up and carry the team, and they did, recording an equal server-high rating of 1.34.<\/p>\n
