Ninjas in Pyjamas Secures Victory against Team Liquid at OGA Dota PIT Online Event
Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) had a slow start against Team Liquid at the OGA Dota PIT Online event, but ultimately emerged victorious with a 2-1 win in the final Dota 2 match of the day.
Liquid carried their strong performance from the WePlay! Pushka League into the series opener. However, NiP fought back and secured the win.
Era and Charlie “CharlieDota” Arat played crucial roles for NiP, a deviation from the team’s usual focus on Supream^ and SabeRLight-. Era’s efficient play was instrumental in their comeback.
In the first game, both teams dealt significant damage, but Liquid capitalized on prolonged fights. While Era had a positive K/D/A, Supream and Charlie were the catalysts for NiP.
In the second and third games, Era played steadily, allowing Charlie’s Lycan and Supream’s Ember Spirit/Pugna to dominate. Charlie’s constant pressure as Lycan and SoNNeikO’s contributions were crucial in the final minutes of the third game.
Charlie’s performance throughout the series was impressive. Here are his statlines:
- Necrophos: 8/9/11 K/D/A, 20.8k Net Worth, 64.4k Hero Damage (37-27 Loss)
- Lycan: 6/0/14 K/D/A, 13.5k Net Worth, 10.6k Hero Damage (30-6 Win)
- Lycan: 15/2/14 K/D/A, 17.6k Net Worth, 28k Hero Damage (36-19 Win)
Liquid’s loss in the third game was in part due to the decline of their Tidehunter pick. Despite Boxi’s strong performance and damage absorption, NiP took the lead and neutralized Boxi’s Ravage after a few encounters.
On May 14, NiP will face Virtus Pro, while Liquid will go up against Team Spirit.
