NIP spared scheduling headache after early Thunderpick World Championship exit

Ninjas in Pyjamas were eliminated from the Thunderpick World Championship in last place after a 0-2 loss to Aurora in Group A's elimination match. The early exit from Malta frees them to return to Sweden for the Stake Pulse Beat III quarter-finals, which begin less than 24 hours later. Their two losses in Malta also dropped their PGL Major Singapore qualification chances to about 70%.
