CLOUD9 defeats NIP in cs_summit 7 Group C

The three-map series ended with Cloud9 defeating NIP in Group C at cs_summit 7. Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin and co. will now face FURIA once again in the decider for the lower bracket of the group. All is not lost NIP either despite the tiebreaker between NIP, FaZe and Complexity, Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer’s side and Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David’s side faced the harsh side of elimination while NIP remains alive on the basis of map difference and round difference.

After losing out on the first map, Dust2, where NIP dominated right from the start with nine consecutive rounds ALEX's AWP did give them a fighting chance but with back-to-back 2v5 NIP won the round, on the other two maps, Overpass and Train C9 dominated with Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach's quad-kill in pistol round.
