Map 1 – Dust2 (13:11 Aurora)
Aurora’s pick started slowly with NiP taking an 8–4 lead by halftime.

Woxic closed the map strong, securing 27 kills and turning the momentum.
Map 2 – Train (19:15 Aurora)
NiP’s pick turned into a tight overtime battle. Aurora built an early 8–4 lead on CT but NiP evened the score by winning the second half 8–4. In overtime, Aurora’s aggression paid off, with Wicadia and woxic combining for decisive entries and a perfect 7–3 OT finish to end the series.
With this win, Aurora moves on to the Group B upper bracket semi-finals, where they will face the winner of Team Spirit vs. HEROIC. Ninjas in Pyjamas drop to the lower bracket and are set to meet their next opponent on Monday.
