The NIP team lost to Astralis with a score of 1: 2 and left the BLAST Premier World Final 2021. At the same time, the Danish team advanced to the second round of the lower bracket, where they will face the winner of the Liquid - Gambit pair.

The fight started on the Inferno map, which became the choice of the Swedish team. However, NIP again did not play in the attack, which was so successfully used by the opponent, having realized the advantage on the server with a confident lead with a score of 12: 3. It seemed that after the change of sides, the Swedes would begin to wake up. Nevertheless, the advantage gained by Astralis at the start of the map was enough for a confident victory and going ahead in this series - 16: 8.

Next, the teams moved to the Mirage map, which unexpectedly became Astralis' choice. At the same time, the Danes, having shown not the most successful start, nevertheless found their game in the attack, having managed to get a minimal advantage over the side switching. In the second half, the game was on an equal footing, as the teams exchanged a series of rounds and actually leveled the situation. And yet, in the very ending, NIP managed to hold a couple of successful rounds, thereby managing to level the score - 16:14.

Everything was decided on the Nuke map, which began with a colossal advantage of the Swedes in defense, who managed to get a two-fold advantage over the side switching. The second half started with positive news for the Danes, who took the starting streak of rounds and narrowed the gap. At the same time, the Swedes continued to create tension, which earned them a ticket to overtime. Here, the Danes did not let their opponent go, knocking out NIP from BLAST Premier World Final 2021 - 19:16.
