NiP prevail in dignitas' LAN debut with the new roster following a nail-biting battle, which finished after a single overtime at 19-17 on de_dust2.

NiP and dignitas ended up playing de_dust2 and it was the Swedes who started off on the offence and soon after the beginning of the match found themselves trailing 4-3.

Dignitas racked up three more rounds on top of that, also thanks to René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg's AWP quad, but NiP answered with four of their own towards the end of the half before it was 8-7 in favor of dignitas.

NiP evened things up with a pistol round on the defence, and despite a lost anti-eco, they continued to deny entrys into sites with Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund at the helm who scored 25 kills before 14-9.

NiP open up with an overtime win

Dignitas picked up three in a row in return, this time it was Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz on the sniper position, and with GeT_RiGhT falling down on long, NiP had to save for the last three rounds of the match.

A misplay on NiP's side in a two-on-two at the B bombsite cost them the lead, but Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg's quick AWP quad got them to 15-14 before dignitas overpowered the A bombsite from long again for overtime.

Dignitas were in control of the first overtime round, but then f0rest replied with another solo play with a triple on B, as well as Adam "⁠friberg⁠" Friberg with a one-on-two for 2-1. 

Two mid-B strategies coming from NiP were split one for one between the teams, but NiP tried the same thing again after a quiet initial minute, as they closed the game out at 19-17.
