Ninjas in Pyjamas have won the ROG JOURNEY Autumn title in Sweden, beating Eternal Fire 2-0 in the final to take the $10,000 first prize and 82 VRS points, HLTV reported. The title is the organisation's second in a row, following first place at 1win Private Club S1.
Karim "Krimbo" Moussa's side reached the final the long way. A best-of-one loss to Sangal left them second in their group, which started their playoff run in the Round of 12 rather than further up the bracket. From there they dropped only a single map, beating Johnny Speeds, SINNERS and BBL to reach the decider.
The final itself was comfortable. A strong Inferno CT side carried Ninjas in Pyjamas to the 2-0 scoreline over Eternal Fire.
What the result does to the rankings
The 82 VRS points moved Ninjas in Pyjamas up 11 places in the rankings and raised their chances of reaching the Major to 63.7 percent, according to HLTV's invite simulation.
Other Major hopefuls also gained ground at the event. SINNERS and BC.Game each climbed 10 spots, and Voca made the single largest move of the tournament at 34 places.
