Map BP:
Map 1: Ancient
NIP chose the map and started on the attacking side. In the pistol round, they opted for a default start but lost two players to G2 before their attack could unfold, and were delayed by utilities, ultimately losing the pistol round. In the next round, NIP went for a full eco.
In the rifle round, NIP tried to take control of mid but were double-killed by m0NESY. REZ managed to even the numbers, but in the final attack on site A, they lacked cover and were double-killed by huNter-, losing a crucial point. G2, having won the rifle round, started to gain momentum, with m0NESY and snax securing the lead to 6-1. In the eighth round, NIP tried to control mid again, with maxster securing a double kill and leading the attack on site B. They managed to plant the bomb but were immediately halted by m0NESY's AWP. In the next round, NIP attacked site B again, with maxster breaking through G2's defense with another double kill, planting the bomb and securing another double kill to force G2 into an eco round, pulling back two points. In the final round, huNter- secured a triple kill, giving G2 their eighth point in the first half.
In the second half, G2 switched to the attacking side, and in the pistol round, they grouped up and rushed site B, with m0NESY securing a double kill to break through, and malbsMd providing timely support to secure the bomb site and win the round. In the next round, NIP went for a full eco.
In the rifle round, NIP pushed site B but were outgunned by G2, losing the round with a one-for-two trade. With only three players left, they were picked off one by one by malbsMd, losing the round. Having lost the rifle round, NIP went into an eco round. G2 secured the match point, and in the match point round, NIP managed to pull back three points with strong individual performances, but were ultimately defeated by huNter- and m0NESY, ending Map 1.
Map 2: Inferno
G2 chose the map and started on the attacking side. In the pistol round, NIP opted for an unconventional tactic by pushing mid but were outgunned by G2, with Niko securing two kills, leading to a successful attack on site B. In the next round, NIP went for a full eco.
In the rifle round, G2 sped up their attack on Banana, resulting in a one-for-one trade. The remaining four G2 players then grouped up to attack site A but encountered a heavily defended site and ran out of time, losing the round to NIP. Despite winning the round, NIP couldn't maintain their momentum and were quickly overwhelmed by G2's explosive attack on site A. NIP hurriedly adjusted their strategy but couldn't find a suitable defense against G2's continuous attacks on site B. In the ninth round, both teams traded kills early on, and Snax gathered information on NIP's heavy defense on site A, leading G2 to regroup and attack site B. Despite being outnumbered, G2 managed to secure the bomb site but failed to cover the church position, allowing the CTs to secure a double kill and disrupt the crucial timing, leading to NIP's victory. NIP then capitalized on their defensive momentum, winning four consecutive rounds to tie the score.
In the second half, NIP switched to the attacking side and chose to attack site A in the pistol round. However, they were quickly outnumbered by G2, losing the round in a one-versus-two situation. In the next round, NIP went for a full eco.
In the long gun round, NIP failed to control the banana path. Although the terrorists on the second floor managed to equalize the numbers, they lost the bomb on the banana path. In the end, the three NIP players who picked up the bomb chose to enter the banana path, and G2 held their positions steadily, successfully securing the point. After consecutive losses, NIP successfully seized the opportunity of G2's weak defense in the B area in the seventeenth round to gain a point, but G2 immediately turned the situation around and secured the match point. In the match point round, G2 did not give NIP any chance, directly taking the match with a score of 13-8.
