Match Prediction: NiP - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 16Ninjas in Pajamas and fnatic will meet on the first day of the Ninjas in Pajamas — fnatic group stage. Oh, and once these teams were the strongest on the stage and could give out a cool battle.
Now we have two diametrically opposed teams, one of which is a funny relic. All in all, fnatic is in big trouble as the organization once again brought together inexplicable individuals in an attempt to stay afloat.
Well, against this background, the Swedish team seems to be the clear favorite, especially since they managed to achieve their goal at the recent BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022.
Uniform Ninjas in Pajamas
The ninth team of the world ranking played ambiguously in the framework of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. Moreover, the problems for the Swedish team began in the group, where they got only one victory, after which they quickly lost to Vitality and Astralis.
Well, at least the team played much better in the Play-In. Yes, according to the net result, Ninjas in Pajamas could not stand out, but the team managed to get into the autumn finals of the season.
It remains only to praise the Swedish team for a good victory over Heroic in the last match. Although, the team still has to work on Mirage.
Latest Ninjas in Pajamas results:

Best Ninjas in Pajamas cards:

Do not forget that the Swedish team usually refuses the Dust 2 map.
fnatic form
The 29th team of the world ranking took second place in the REPUBLEAGUE Season 3, after which they again decided to change their roster. As a result, FASHR joined fnatic, who tarnished his name after a spell with ECSTATIC.
But now the team returned to the stage, having managed to qualify for IEM Road to Rio 2022 only on the second attempt. It's hard to judge fnatic by this result, because the guys played with strong representatives of TIER-2.
However, I don't think that the team will be able to shoot at a big championship with this line-up, since KRIMZ is not getting younger, and the rest of the fnatic members have too many "buts".
fnatic's latest results:
- Victory over B8 with a score of 16:4.
- Victory over AGO Esports with a score of 16:3.
- Victory over HAVU with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Monte with a score of 16:3.
- Victory over K23 with a score of 16:1.
Best fnatic cards:
- Nuke - 100% win rate.
- Ancient - 75% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
Do not forget that the team also refuses the Dust 2 map.

Prediction for Ninjas in Pajamas — fnatic
There is a chance that fnatic can get a hold of one map as the Swedes have problems on Mirage and Ancient. However, I won't dare speak for the victory in the series, because mezii and company play too monotonously, copying the opponent's style to some extent.
In turn, Ninjas in Pajamas got a convenient opponent, which is a piece of cake to read. And in fact, the Swedish team is now starting to gain, having played well at BLAST.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Ninjas in Pajamas team.
