NiP, Wolves win THOR openers

Ninjas in Pyjamas and Copenhagen Wolves got off to great starts at THOR Open after defeating Curse and gosu, respectively.

Fresh from joining North American organisation Curse, the Finnish team formerly known as Wings fell short against NiP in their first match in Stockholm, with Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg stealing the plaudits as he amassed an immpressive 29 frags to inspire his team to a comfortable 16-6 victory.

NiP got off on the highly-favoured CT side on de_nuke, and they took control of proceedings right from the start, going into the break with a commanding 12-3 lead.

In the second half, Curse were able to stop NiP's pushes a few times, but the Swedish team eventually secured the four rounds they needed to take the full three points.
