The first team to qualify for the LANXESS arena is now known, with Natus Vincere<\/a> breezing past NIP<\/a> to book their spot in the playoffs. The series was a one sided affair as Natus Vincere<\/a> did not allowing their opponents to get double digits on either of the maps.<\/p>\n

Natus Vincere<\/a> are now guaranteed a spot in the quarter-final at least and wait for the winner of the match between Movistar Riders<\/a> and Vitality<\/a>, who they will battle for a spot in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

NIP<\/a> aren’t out of the tournament yet, as they drop down to the lower bracket to face the victor of the G2<\/a> and ENCE<\/a> game, which will no doubt be a hard test for the Swedes.<\/p>\n

Natus Vincere<\/a> started the series on Overpass in hot form, as they won the first ten rounds of the game, including s1mple<\/a>‘s 1v3 clutch in the fourth round. The Swedish squad was able to get themselves on the board with a successful A attack in the eleventh round, but collected just one more in the remainder of the half, meaning the score at the interval read 13-2. s1mple<\/a> and sdy<\/a> were the star players of the Natus Vincere<\/a> defense, getting 18 and 17 kills respectively.<\/p>\n

A pistol round for the majority Ukrainian side made the final exchanges of the first map a mere formality, as Natus Vincere<\/a> ran rampant and won the map 16-3.<\/p>\n

Next up was Nuke, the pick of Natus Vincere<\/a>, who started where they left off on Overpass, winning the pistol with s1mple<\/a> even getting a knife kill on Fredrik “\u2060REZ\u2060”<\/span> Sterner<\/a>. They built on the pistol round by racing to a 5-1 lead, before a 1v2 clutch by Hampus “\u2060hampus\u2060”<\/span> Poser<\/a> got NIP<\/a> their second. That enabled the Swedes to get within one round of Natus Vincere<\/a>, but the Ukrainians didn’t allow the scores to get tied up and started to pull away again, with the half time score standing at 8-7 in favor of Natus Vincere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

s1mple<\/a> and Ilya “\u2060Perfecto\u2060”<\/span> Zalutskiy<\/a> began the second half by combining for a fourth successful pistol round in the series. What followed was once again complete domination by the Natus Vincere<\/a> CT side, as they put up a flawless defense to close out the series with a 16-7 win on their map pick.<\/p>\n
