Ninjas in Pyjamas runs over f0rest, Dignitas in ESL One Road to Rio

Dignitas created significant buzz in the CS:GO community by making their competitive return and reassembling the iconic Ninjas in Pyjamas lineup that captured the 2014 ESL One Cologne Major championship. The team featuring the legendary pairing of Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund and Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg confronted their former organization for the initial time during the Road to Rio: Europe group stage competition.

The anticipated reunion match proved disappointing for the Dignitas squad. They suffered a decisive 2-0 defeat, with lopsided scores of 16-4 and 16-9 demonstrating NiP’s complete control of the series.

For teams looking to improve their competitive performance, our Class Guide offers valuable insights into role specialization and team composition strategies that translate across different tactical shooters.

Fredrik “REZ” Sterner delivered an outstanding performance against Dignitas during the first map, accumulating 26 eliminations. His most impressive moment came during the initial pistol round where he executed a precise quadruple kill sequence that set the tone for the entire match.

REZ didn’t stand alone in delivering exceptional pistol round performances. During the second map, Tim “nawwk” Jonasson achieved a remarkable ace elimination round plus additional kills, wiping out the entire Dignitas lineup along with one of his own teammates in the process. Ninjas in Pyjamas published video evidence of this incredible play, complete with team communication audio.

While Ninjas in Pyjamas securing the series victory wasn’t unexpected, the win nonetheless represented a significant achievement for the organization. Currently holding a 2-0 record in the Road to Rio: Europe group stage following victories against both Dignitas and Team Vitality, they’ve established an excellent foundation for progressing to the playoff rounds.

Dignitas finds themselves in the opposite competitive situation. Now standing at 0-2, the team confronts a challenging path toward qualification for the ESL One Rio Major. This represents the most recent in a series of disappointing results for Dignitas after the squad was eliminated early from Flashpoint Season 1.

The Road to Rio tournament structure creates immense pressure on teams to perform consistently throughout the group stage. Early losses can create momentum challenges that require strategic adjustments and roster confidence rebuilding to overcome.
