NiP krossar Fluxo och går vidare till etapp 2 av Budapest Major 2025

NiP confidently overpowered Fluxo on Nuke and Train, securing a clean 2:0 victory and booking their spot in the second stage of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. Portuguese talent ewjerkz became the standout performer of the match, leading the team with a dominant display.

Nuke (5:13 NiP)

NiP picked Nuke as their map of choice and immediately gained a significant early advantage, jumping to a 6:0 lead. However, Fluxo managed to slow NiP’s momentum and closed the first half with a manageable 5:7 scoreline. In the second half, though, NiP didn’t drop a single round on the T side, closing Nuke with a decisive 13:5 victory.

Train (5:13 NiP)

On Fluxo’s map pick, the story repeated itself. NiP once again dominated from the opening rounds. Fluxo failed to produce a solid attacking side and secured only four rounds throughout the half. Switching to the T side, NiP continued to dictate the pace and fully controlled the map. As a result, Fluxo never found a way into the game, and Train ended with another 13:5 win for NiP.

Match MVP

The best player of the series was ewjerkz. His stats: ADR – 103.1, Swing +5.64%, rating 1.63. The young Portuguese rifler’s aggressive playstyle was a key factor in helping NiP advance to the next stage.

This is an important win for NiP, who move on to Stage 2 of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 with a 3-1 record. Fluxo, meanwhile, remain in the tournament but will play tomorrow in the 2-2 decider bracket, where there will be no room for error. StarLadder Budapest Major Stage 1 runs from 24 to 27 November, with 16 teams competing for 8 spots in the next stage.
