The Polish team Anonymo defeated the Swedish NIP at Flashpoint 3, sending the latter into the lower bracket of the tournament. Thus, the debut of the new NIP lineup, which was recently joined by Nicolas “device” Reedtz from Astralis turned out to be unsuccessful. In addition, the match was associated with a number of technical problems.
After its completion, the head of NIP stated that the Swedish side experienced significant packet loss, which made it “literally impossible” to play at times. At the very beginning of the match (the start of which was delayed by about an hour), device published a post on his Twitter in which he mentioned that the team would have to play “in conditions of 30-40% packet loss.” After the game ended, the player added to his post, mentioning that the situation had not improved over time. In particular, he noted that he “couldn’t move” when left alone with a player from the opposing team. Fredrik “REZ” also complained that poor connection quality interfered with playing. Sterner.
Regardless of the exact reason for the failure, NIP will now have to fight to reach the next stage in the lower bracket of the tournament. To continue her path to victory, she will need to beat the winner in the FunPlus Phoenix pair – HYENAS, which will be determined in the near future.
