Forutsigelse av kamp: fnatic - NiP | CS2 (CS:GO)

fnatic and Ninjas in Pyjamas will play in the first round of the BLAST Paris Major 2023. Eh, it used to be a major Swedish derby, but those days are long gone, and even now the line-ups leave a lot to be desired.

My opinion is that fnatic do not deserve to play in the "legends", although through the stage Challengers team probably would have passed. However, in terms of play and performance, the team has looked extremely disappointing in recent months.

In turn, the Ninjas slightly impressed with their consistency in the Long Championships, suffering only one defeat at the hands of ENCE. And the players seem to be starting to hit and understand each other. So here I would lean on Ninjas in Pyjamas to win.

fnatic uniforms

The fifteenth team of the world ranking failed at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, after which it could not even qualify for IEM Dallas 2023, Ledgeiv GODSENT and OG.

However, the European squad managed to get a shot at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where they took advantage of an easy net, beating Viperio, 1WIN and B8 Esports on their way to becoming "legends".

Next up, though, fnatic visited IEM Rio 2023 where they showed nothing in the group stage, suffering two losses to FURIA and OG and also managing to give up one card in a game against 9z.

Latest fnatic results:

• A 16-12 win over 1WIN.
• Defeated B8 Esports 2-1.
• 15-19 defeat of FURIA.
• Beat 9z 2-1.
• 0-2 defeat by OG.

Best fnatic scores:

• Overpass - 80% wins.
• Nuke - 63% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.

However, we must not forget that the European team does not play on the Anubis map.

Ninjas in Pyjamas uniforms

The fourteenth team of the world ranking with varying success played in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, beating Eternal Fire, Astralis and BIG.

Further European team took part in the IEM Rio 2023, where they defeated Imperial Esports and 9INE, but after losses from Natus Vincere and Heroic didn't even make it to the play-offs.

As for the performance at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, here Ninjas in Pyjamas Ledge was ENCE, but with victories over MOUZ, OG and Grayhound Gaming managed to make it into the "legends".

Ninjas in Pyjamas latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to Heroic.
• A 16-9 win over MOUZ.
• Defeat to ENCE by a score of 9-16.
• 19-17 win over OG.
• Beat Grayhound Gaming 2-0.

Best Ninjas in Pyjamas:

• Mirage - 79% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 57% wins.
• Overpass - 56% wins.

Ninjas in Pyjamas also gives up Anubis.

Meeting statistics fnatic - Ninjas in Pyjamas

During the current season, the teams have met once - the shutout qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 saw fnatic win 2-1.

Prediction for fnatic vs Ninjas in Pyjamas

Even in those qualifiers all three were close. However, in BO1 it's silly to rely on that encounter, and Ninjas in Pyjamas showed a little better on the dice.

In general, I have some preconceptions about fnatic, because there is no Viperio, 1WIN and B8 Esports. And in Rio de Janeiro, the team didn't play their best either.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Ninjas in Pyjamas to win.
