Match Prediction: NiP - Copenhagen Flames | Counter-Strike (CS2)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR BNIP and Copenhagen Flames will compete for the right to qualify for PGL Major Antwerp 2022. So far, the Swedes look very good, clearly understanding what and how to act in combinations. But these Danes can become a thorn in NIP's plans for the game, which Copenhagen Flames has already shown at IEM Katowice 2022 Play-In.
Form N.I.P.
The seventh team in the world ranking had a great start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B, where they got two wins. And if everything looked good with Endpoint, then Bad News Eagles were given the nerve for the Swedes. However, for now, NIP is the favorite to play 90% of the time in the Major. However, I do not see a dry victory for the Swedish team, which can still make mistakes.

Shape of Copenhagen Flames
The 18th team in the world ranking also had a good start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR B, where they closed two matches without a chance. And in general, the Danes again began to gain their form, beating rivals in class and discipline. That's why I'm sure that Copenhagen Flames will create trouble for the Swedes.

NIP vs Copenhagen Flames Prediction
As I see it, Copenhagen Flames will have a very logical advantage on Nuke and Vertigo. Otherwise, the Swedes can take on class and surprises, since Brollan really plays differently than in fnatic. However, I don't believe in a clean sheet for the NIP, as I consider the Danes to be very strong in all respects. Therefore, I would recommend betting on Handicap (+1.5) for the Copenhagen Flames team.
