NiP managed to take down mousesports 2-1 to qualify for the playoffs of MLG Columbus 2016, doing so with their coach Björn 'THREAT' Pers playing as a stand-in. We had a talk with Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg after the game.

Ninjas in Pyjamas walked away with a 2-1 victory over MOUZ in the first match of the third day of the MLG Columbus Major and advanced to the playoffs, thereby securing their spot as 'Legends' while playing with coach Björn "⁠THREAT⁠" Pers as a stand-in for Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi.
