Having won their second victory over Ninjas in Pajamas recently, the NAVI team qualified for the BLAST Premier Fall Finals. A few days before this, Natus Vincere had already won against NiP — in the opening match of the tournament. Now Ninjas in Pajamas has to wait until the end of November — then they will have another chance to advance to the final stage by taking part in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown.
In the confrontation with NiP, Natus Vincere won with a score of 2:1. On the first map (Overpass), the teams were almost level, and by the time the teams switched sides the score was 8:7. In the second half of the draw, NAVI were able to briefly seize the advantage, but in the end the map remained with their opponents (16:10). On Nuke, Natus Vincere were able to immediately seize the initiative, approaching the middle of the draw with a score of 4: 11. Then they continued the pressure, not allowing their opponents to win back, and soon chalked up this map to their account (16: 9). The decisive map was Mirage, and events there developed in much the same way. Natus Vincere won even more convincingly — 16 : 4, proving its advantage over NiP.
