NiP to SLTV grand final over TSM

NiP secure a spot in the SLTV StarSeries XII grand final following a 2-0 win over TSM (de_dust2 16-6, de_nuke 16-13).

In a match for a place in the grand final, NiP and TSM got to fight it out on two maps that have been two of the best maps for both teams, de_dust2 and de_nuke.

Despite a solid start for the Danish team on de_dust2, leading 4-2, NiP ended up going over to Terrorists with a 10-5 scoreline mostly thanks to a brilliant performance from Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg and Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli.

The pistol on the second side was the only round TSM managed to get on the board due to a great double kill by Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen to win a two-on-two, as NiP stormed on to win six in a row and go up 1-0 in the series.

NiP get to rematch EnVyUs after yesterday's debacle 

In possibly one of the last de_nukes we will see in the nearest future, TSM started off as Counter-Terrorists, and although they lost the initial pistol and both ecos afterwards, Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's ninja defuse helped them secure a 12-3 halftime score.

NiP stood calm at all times though, and with a won pistol because of a good read on karrigan's fake, they held on round after round before TSM evened it out at 13-13.

That was the last round the Danes could win, as Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund's backstab triple secured one of the three remaining, forcing TSM on two bad buys in a row.
