NiP have pulled through a tough series against Copenhagen Wolves 2-1 (14-16 de_dust2, 16-6 de_nuke, 16-6 de_inferno) despite dropping a 13-1 lead in the opening map. Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund's triple won NiP the terrorist pistol round on de_dust2, and a double by Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson made it 4-0 after two save round wins. The Swedes ran out of time on the sixth round, but Adam "friberg" Friberg's entry kill helped break Copenhagen Wolves' money and force them on a weak buy which made it 7-1 after Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg's triple. Henrik "FeTiSh" Christensen saved his gun on the next round, but Lindberg won a key one-on-two to keep pushing the Wolves aside while NiP continued building up their lead to 9-1. Even Michael "Friis" Jørgensen's quad kill wasn't enough to win a round, as it took all the way until a 1-13 deficit and for Jacob "Pimp" Winneche to get three AWP kills in B to win the Danes a round.
The Danes had a mountain to climb in the second half, but a double from Winneche helped make it 5-13, even though NiP came within seconds of winning the first save round. A double from Johansson gave NiP their fourteenth round, but even a triple from him wasn't enough to win another round, as Copenhagen Wolves struck back and made it 6-14. NiP still had money to buy once but couldn't stop the Danes. Winneche's two kills at long gave Cph their ninth round, and a solid team effort got them into double digits next. The Wolves ran a mid-to-B split to get their eleventh round as Richard "Xizt" Landström saved his weapon, and a double from Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth got the Danes within two. NiP lost round twenty-seven as well, and a hat trick from Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen tied the game. Rasmussen and Højsleth got them entry into B as Johansson teamkilled Alesund, giving the Wolves map point.
Possibly the most impressive comeback in CS:GO history was completed as Copenhagen Wolves finished their 14-1 terrorist isde on de_dust2 with Jørgensen's AWP kill for a 16-14 win. NiP started their comeback with Lindberg's four kill at ramp as a defender on de_nuke, and the Swedes racked up four rounds before Christensen could secure a one-on-one win in the upper site. After Højsleth's one-on-three proved unsuccessful, Copenhagen Wolves had nothing going for them in the rest of the half despite trying a variety of attacks, as the Swedish defense shut them out. With Lindberg and Alesund leading the way, NiP built up a wall and hardly even let the Danes come within striking range as they won ten staright rounds, matching the Wolves' previous half's 14-1 effort. Copenhagen Wolves tried to come back once more, and they locked down a 2-0 lead by winning their counter-terrorist pistol round. NiP tried a force buy on the third round, but were shut down.
The Swedes went down 0-5 before doubles from Alesund and Friberg finally gave NiP their opening round of the half, which they followed up with a second round win to tie the series at 1-1 with a 16-6 win. Alesund started de_inferno with a bang as well, winning an extremely important one-on-three against three Copenhagen Wolves members and a planted bomb in the A bombsite. The Wolves' third round buy was shut down, and two kills from both Friberg and Landström gave NiP a 5-0 lead early on, which they would follow with another five rounds before the Danes could reply. Trailing 10-2 and the match seemingly all but over, Copenhagen Wolves were once again elimited by Lindberg, who led NiP in scoring as the Swedes rolled over the challengers 13-2. A terrorist side pistol round win gave NiP game point at 15-2 as the Danes saved once. They improved the score to 6-15, but doubles from Alesund and Friberg ended the series at 16-6 and 2-1 overall.
