NIP drop out of BetBoom Dacha qualifier

16-11-2023 16:19

A long journey back from China left the Ninjas fatigued.

NIP will not play for a spot at BetBoom Dacha

Ninjas in Pyjamas are the second team to drop out of the BetBoom Dacha Closed Qualifier. On Wednesday it was fnatic who took a step back as they do not have a full roster to compete with, while the Ninjas now dropped out due to travel fatigue.

fnatic withdraw from BetBoom Dacha qualifier

The Ninjas were in Shanghai, China, where they played the CS Asia Championships until November 11, when they fell to ENCE in the tournament's quarter-finals.

"Due to the late departure from China after the CS Asia Championships and the players' fatigue after returning home, they can't be ready for the first match and we will have to drop out," NIP management said.

This qualifier was meant to be Ninjas in Pyjamas's first contact with Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet, who missed the event in China after being unveiled officially by the Swedish organization on November 3, but the team's new IGL will have to wait to get his first official matches in at the upcoming BLAST Premier Fall Final starting on November 22 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Official: alex joins NIP

FISSURE, the BetBoom Dacha organizer, has yet to find a replacement, and for now the Group B match MIBR was slated to play has been canceled. The other side of the Group B bracket already kicked off, with Spirit beating 9INE 2-0 in their opening match.

From Group A it was Aurora, Apeks and BIG who made it to the qualifier's playoffs, while Eternal Fire was the first eliminated team.

Two sides will make it through to the main event, which will take place in Dubai, UAE, on December 5-10. The invites have gone out to Virtus.pro, Astralis, Cloud9, FURIA, Heroic and the title sponsor's own squad, BetBoom, and only the teams from the qualifier are left to close out the eight-team roster.

aye lil bro i forgot that jetlag means you cant move your hands and play a computer game for fun

2023-11-16 16:22

they don't ''play for fun'' on events they compete to win against other people at a high level that'll do everything to not let them, it's totally different

2023-11-16 16:36

I'm sure they're not incapable of playing with jetlag. They just chose not to. It's a bit like you could choose not to comment on this forum, but you do.

The event finished 4 days ago and NiP didn't even make it to the last day Its all fine if they want to spend an extra few days there to go experience or whatever, but it's not an excuse if they had plenty of time to do all that AND get back in time for an online qualifier they can literally sleepwalk through

except it's not them who organizes the flights, it's the tournament organiser

2023-11-16 16:33

Yeah I got no idea what happened, very odd indeed because the players had a dinner with the LOL team on the monday, they were supposed to go home then :D

2023-11-16 16:39

imo you shouldnt really speak of this matter, you dont know what happened, maybe its all TO's fault, they booked tickets for everyone way ahead and because they didnt know who will get to the finals they just booked everyone to a few days after the finals, you never know what happened

Never before have I seen someone with a name that checks out more Stop making excuses for them, they got invited, there must have been communication with their team manager and the team at least a few weeks before the qualifier, they had plenty of time to prepare for it and knew they were attending, and if they didn't sort their own tickets out, then their manager is inept for not telling CAC's TO that they needed to leave a day or so earlier

2023-11-17 00:06

you still dont know what happened, maybe they were trying to reach some agreements with CAC TOX's but the TO's didnt fullfill the agreements or whatever, you never know, maybe its totally NiP's fault, I mean they are clueless managing their cs roster anyway

2023-11-17 00:12

sign of someone who has never left their country, not understanding jetlag

aye ok, get some sleep

No but honestly all you do here is cry and attack other users. Answer the question, have you ever experienced travel from literally another side of the planet? If not pls keep your 5 cents to yourself. Those players maybe didn’t even have direct flight.

2023-11-16 22:57

rip fantasy picks

bad for guys who pick NIP players in Fantazy

nice planning... even in that area NiP are clueless

not the org that books tickets genius

2023-11-16 17:59

i guess travel fatigue is legit and totally unexpected after reaching QF in CAC

2023-11-16 18:10

some of the players came back home yesterday genius

2023-11-17 01:13

disband finally

hope they find a replacement and mibr get do play a match instead of win bc of forfeit.

Yeah as soon as I saw schedule I got confused, don't know why they participated in the first place

nip don’t want to play in rusnya tournament nip based

2023-11-16 16:23

headtr1ck called it

2023-11-16 16:26

I think so

2023-11-16 16:27

>not ready for first match >drop out of the entire tournament 200 iq moves

This is an invite-only qualifier, so the TO probably didn't want any defwins in it. Therefore NiP had to drop out entirely

2023-11-16 17:17

Love the headline picture from headtrick, perfectly sums it up

the NiP experience

2023-11-16 16:31

swedes be really that weak that they cant play videogames at home 3 days after coming from china?

Only one Swede in the roster my guy.

2023-11-16 16:30

2023-11-16 17:06

I became a fan of NIP because of their Swedish team, how much more do I have to put up with these random decisions from NIP?

2023-11-16 17:10

Find another team. It’s stupid to be fan of organization in esport, it doesn’t make sense, this is not football, you are fan of players and once those players leave/retire it’s gg. For example for me the moment f0rest left as last member of OG nip from 2012 I could not care less for the team.

2023-11-16 23:02

They didn't plan to go far

2023-11-17 00:32

NIP KEKW

2023-11-16 21:17

What do you have to lose while playing an online qualifier? You can atleast try, worst thing is you go out last place which is basically the same as not trying. You don't have to travel to a different country for this, its literally an online competition. Atleast Fnatic had a valid excuse, Nip are just weak ass chumps.

2023-11-17 01:16

they shouldve come up with some other excuse being too tired to play a videogame just makes u sound like a jobless bum

LOL and Forze take their 3rd place match spot. Some currupt shit XD If Forze couldnt make it to the mibr game it should just be those 3 teams going through
