Ninjas in Pyjamas fails to reach the playoffs at ESL One for the first time ever

The famous CS: GO Swedish pros are facing hard times as they failed to pass to the ESL One Cologne playoffs. This is the first time ever that the Ninjas fail to make it to the next stage at an ESL major.

What made this loss shocking is that the roster remained unchanged ever since they made it to the finals in four times out of nine while making it to the playoffs at all of these times. The team even one 2014’s iteration of ESL One Cologne.

Current state of Ninjas in Pyjamas seem troublesome, as not only did they exit ESL One last Thursday but they also showed their worst performance at a Valve major was a top eight finish at the previous major in Columbus, Ohio.

Death blow for the team’s dreams at One was delivered by Flipsid3, as the Eastern European team managed to win two out of three maps with a final score of 16-11 to qualify automatically to the next stage as well as the next Valve major, while NiP will have to work its way through qualifiers.
