Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – G2 to win – 1.57.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Maps Over 2.5 – 2.00.
G2 Esports are very uncomfortable opponent for NIP. In past tournaments, G2 have always been stronger in head-to-head encounters. Moreover, G2 probably got an extra boost of confidence in their abilities after defeating ENCE, while NIP lost to NaVi.
Two of the four matches between the teams were played on three maps.
NIP are ranked seventh in the world, but they need to constantly prove that they are worthy of a place in the top 10. It should be noted that the team managed to extend their winning streak to four victories not so long ago. In the first match in the tournament, the team even defeated Heroic (2-0), but in the confrontation with NaVi they suffered a defeat (0:2).
Recall that in the match against NaVi, Ninjas were able to take only ten rounds in total, thus showing that they are not ready to compete with opponents of this level. However, we do not underestimate the Ninjas at all, as they can pull themselves together and reach even the semi-finals.
NIP have won 6 of their last 10 meetings.
G2 Esports have not been on the podium for a very long time. Since the changes to the squad, the team has not been able to finish higher than second place in any major tournament. It should be noted that this event did not start out well for G2 either, as they were defeated by Movistar Riders (0-2) in their opening match.
However, G2 rehabilitated themselves in their next encounter when they took on ENCE (2-0) with a solid comeback from a dead heat on Dust2, as well as playing incredibly well for the Ancient attacking side.
G2 have won 6 of their last 10 meetings.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
NIP: es3tag, REZ, hampus, Brollan, Plopski.
G2: NiKo, huNter-, JACKZ, m0NESY, Aleksib.
Brollan from NIP and NiKo from G2 are our highlighted players in the match.
