Metizport has etched its name into e-sports history as the newly crowned Swedish Counter-Strike 2 champions, following a commanding 3-0 victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas in the Svenska Cupen 2024 final. The team showcased extraordinary synergy and strength, securing their first LAN trophy in style.
The grand final was a masterclass in tactical superiority and individual brilliance. Metizport began with a statement on Vertigo, NiP’s map pick, crushing their opponents 13-4 with a clinical T-side performance. Mirage, Metizport’s choice, was a closer affair as NiP threatened a comeback, but the team held their nerve to claim it 16-13. On Ancient, Metizport again asserted their dominance, closing the series 13-9 to lift the trophy.
This victory marks a major milestone for Metizport, earning their first significant offline title. The recent addition of Casper “SHiNE” Wennerberg as in-game leader has had an immediate impact. SHiNE’s leadership has freed Nicolas “Plopski” Gonzalez Zamora from his captaincy duties, allowing him to focus on his gameplay—an adjustment that has already paid dividends.
“This win means everything to us,” SHiNE said after the match. “We’ve worked so hard for this moment, and to win our first trophy together here in Sweden makes it even more special.”
Swedish prodigy Linus “nilo” Bergman was the star of the final, delivering an incredible performance with a 1.36 rating and topping the scoreboard for the series. Alongside Adam “adamb” Ångström and Plopski, nilo proved that Metizport is not just a team with potential but one already delivering on the big stage.
Metizport’s journey through the tournament was no easy feat. The team faced strong opposition, overcoming several top contenders on their way to the final. Their victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas, one of Sweden’s most storied e-sports organizations, makes their triumph even sweeter. For adamb and nilo, both former NiP academy players, and Plopski, who was removed from NiP’s main roster in 2023, this win was deeply personal.
As the newly crowned Swedish champions, Metizport is now ready to make its mark on the international stage. Their first LAN trophy sends a clear message: Metizport is no longer just a challenger—they are a rising force in CS2.
Congratulations to Metizport on this historic achievement! We eagerly look forward to seeing what’s next for this exceptional team on their journey in the e-sports world.
