Prediction on match CS2 NiP - EndPoint

NIP and Endpoint will meet in the first round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR B. In this case, everything is logical and unambiguous, since the Swedes, albeit without a full-fledged sniper, must confidently close Endpoint and get into the company of leaders. Well, the hodgepodge team is unlikely to be able to show itself at this RMR tournament, since the latest results are disappointing.

Form N.I.P.

The seventh team in the world ranking will now definitely play with Brollan. I note that not so long ago, the Swedes reached the semi-finals of ESL Pro League Season 15, where they lost to ENCE. The main problem of NIP may be the lack of a sniper, the role of which is likely to be taken by REZ. Nevertheless, even with such problems, the team must close the nearest BO1.

Latest NIP results:

• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Looking For Org with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
• The victory over Liquid with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to ENCE with a score of 0:2.

Best NIP cards:

• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.

Don't forget that the Swedes haven't played Dust 2 for a long time.

Form Endpoint

The 43rd team in the world ranking recently won the ESL Premiership Spring 2022, which in itself is not a big achievement. Well, after that the team did not get into the closed qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2022, losing to BIG. So it turns out that Endpoint can win back at its legitimate TIER-2.5 level, but the team has problems with clear favorites.

Latest Endpoint results:

• Victory over BLVKHVND with a score of 2:1.
• 3:1 victory over Into the Breach.
• Victory over ECSTATIC with a score of 16:9.
• Victory over Nexus with a score of 16:8.
• Defeated by BIG with a score of 0:2.

Best Endpoint Maps:

• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Vertigo - 62% of wins.
• Overpass - 57% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.

In turn, the team often refuses the Nuke card.

Prediction for the match NIP — Endpoint

Quite an unambiguous duel, since the Swedes do not flood such. Yes, there are problems with the sniper, or rather, he simply does not exist. But NIP trained something there and tried to integrate it into the Brollan line-up, which will definitely work at this level. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NIP team with Handicap by rounds (-4.5).
