NIP defeats FunPlus Phoenix by 2-0 in Flashpoint 3 and the Ninjas are through to the upper bracket semi-finals in the tournament. Ninjas put on a fine show against FPX who got punished for their shallow map pool and NIP won the pistol round as well. FPX worked hard on Inferno as well to overthrow the team and even forced overtime as well until they lost the match to Ninjas in OT.
Fredrik "REZ" Sterner later shared the team is doing well and can hope for a top 10 as well this season. NIP has set up a match against G2 on Sunday now, who won 2-1 against Heroics while FPX will have to fight to survive against Vitality on Friday.
