#TI9: Ninjas in Pyjamas left the tournament

Ninjas in Pyjamas took 17-18th place at The International 2019 and won't play in the Playoffs. It became known right after Royal Never Give Up won the first map of the match with Infamous. The Chinese team has six points, and the European team with their current three victories couldn't catch them.

Thus, the match against Evil Geniuses turns into a formality for ppd. At the same time, EG need to win two maps to guarantee a place in the top 4 of group B.

NiP earned a little more than $83.000 and shared the 17-18th place with Chaos Esports Club. It is noteworthy that there was a world champion in each of the two teams: ppd and MATUMBAMAN couldn't become the owner of the second championship ring this year. Now there are only 12 participants for the highest TI money prize.
