We got a hold of Aleksi "allu" Jalli for a short interview about how NiP's semi-final went from the Finn's point of view.

Despite struggling on the initial map of the series, NiP quickly disposed of their German-Dutch opposition on de_dust2 as Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg put up big numbers on the Counter-Terrorist side.

Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli shared a few thoughts on the semi-final and who he would rather face in the grand final afterwards:

Train was quite close, why do you think that was the case?

mousesports played great, denis, who is not so famous I suppose, had a really great game and we are not that good on Train, I have to admit. In the end we pulled through and that was nice.

 allu reckons NiP regained their killer instinct on de_dust2

How did you turn the match on Train, which was close, into a stomp on Dust2, what was the thing that made the game change?

I don't know if the game changed that much, it's just that we're much better on Dust2 than we are on Train. We had our killer instinct now on Dust2, which we lacked a little bit on Train. People warmed up a little more. But I think they maybe choked a bit, pressure took over or whatever. At least they seemed like it and we played great, so there's not much more in it. 

Who would you rather face in the final, EnVyUs or dignitas?

EnVyUs.

NiP will meet the winner of the second semi-final of EnVyUs and dignitas in the best-of-five grand final, scheduled for 20:00 .
