Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz's team was showing promise at IEM Summer but their woes still continue after the BLAST Exit. NIP took down Even Genuises in the BLAST Premier Spring Final lower bracket with a 2-0 win over EG in Overpass 16-11, and Dust2 16-12. NIP would now wait to meet the loser of the upper bracket semi-final match between BIG and Natus Vincere.
Nicolai "device" Reedtz & co stay alive in the tournament handing Evil Geniuses an early elimination and a last-place finish. EG were getting back in action with a playoff finish at IEM Summer but their underwhelming performance continues. EG would now be seen in action in the last event of the season IEM Cologne and its play-in stage starts on 6th July.
