Overtime on Overpass‍

NIP took the first two rounds, but the Danes responded with four of their own. This exact pattern of rounds was repeated as the international squad won the following two rounds, but the half ended 8-4 in favor of the Danes.

The round-winning streak continued in the second half as Benjamin "blameF" Bremer and his crew took the lead 11-4. Unfortunately, NIP performed a great comeback to reach overtime. After a chaotic and entertaining double overtime, NIP's map pick was claimed by the Danes, 19-15. Check out the highlights below.

‍

A Triple-kill from stavn

Being surrounded by three opponents towards the A-site of Overpass is usually a big challenge, but Martin "stavn" Lund shows how to deal with it.

Locked out of B

Victor "Staehr" Staehr, the B-site gatekeeper, doesn't let NIP access the B-site at all.

Chaotic Round Win in OT

Second round into overtime and NIP are trying to retake the B-site, but the Danes' strong positions are crucial.

Patient Triple Kill to Secure the Round

Patience pays off, at least it did for stavn in overtime, securing a 3K and the round.

jabbi ACE in OT!

Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard found himself five frags in the center of the map in a vital round in overtime.

Powering Through In The End

NIP returned from the first map defeat by taking an early lead 4-2. The Danish quintet responded with three consecutive rounds, leading 5-4.

Margins defined the match as it was tied up 10-10. The Danes then powered through, won the game 13-10, and claimed the trophy. Check out the highlights below.

‍

Cheeky Position

Staehr got a quad-kill in round 8 and secured the last two frags using a cheeky angle.

We're really happy with what he's doing. And as you can see when he gets the chance to show off his aim. I think he's really capable mechanically, as well. - dev1ce on Staehr's impact in the team.

‍

Four frags in four seconds

In the pistol round of the second half, jabbi single-handedly took down four enemies on the A-site.

Staehr4K
