Fredrik "REZ" Sterner and Linus "LNZ" Holtäng saved NIP from direct elimination and they stay alive in the BLAST Premier Spring Final for one more day. The Swedish side took down BIG by 2-0 in the lower bracket semi-final. Björn "THREAT" Pers and co. would now wait for the winner of Complexity and G2 and meet them in the next round.
BIG were defeated on their map pick once against, NAVI had annihilated them on Dust2 and NIP did the same. Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz's troops enjoyed a 76% win rate over 25 times they have played the map but slow defensive word saw them to a 16-10 loss and then on Inferno with 16-12. Fredrik 'REZ' Sterner posted the highest rating of 1.45 while LNZ posted a rating of 1.30 across two maps.
