Prediction on match CS2 NiP - fnatic

NIP and fnatic will play in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15. A rather principled meeting, given all the latest rumors about a possible transition of Brollan to NIP. At the same time, there is a high probability that the transfer will not happen before the start of the championship, which will not change the balance of power anyway.

Form N.I.P.

The eighth team of the world ranking failed to reach the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2022, once again losing all important meetings. One way or another, the Swedish team plays well against weak opponents, which now include fnatic. Plus, the model that hampus offers should work against the same fast team.

Latest NIP results:

• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Gambit with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Virtus.pro with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Gambit with a score of 0:2.

Best NIP cards:

• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 60% of wins.
• Overpass - 57% of wins.

Moreover, the advantage of the Swedes is the opponent's unwillingness to play Dust 2. In this regard, NIP can safely ban Inferno.

fnatic form

The 16th team in the world ranking nevertheless qualified for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR, making the fans nervous. Moreover, the team did not manage to decide on the composition, constantly changing one or two players. In any case, right now, fnatic has rolled back, strongly reminiscent of their last year's line. Therefore, I strongly doubt that the team will prove itself at ESL Pro League Season 15.

fnatic's latest results:

• Victory over OsteFC with a score of 16:4.
• Victory over Wisla Krakow with a score of 16:5.
• Victory over FATE with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 16:3.
• Defeated by GamerLegion with a score of 13:16.

Best fnatic cards:

• Inferno - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

At the same time, we clearly understand that the team will not play on the Dust 2 map.

NIP Match Prediction - fnatic

Given the opening round of the competition, as well as the ongoing reshuffling, I see no reason to take risks. One thing is clear: in this case, the Swedes must win. Yes, fnatic can force a fight on one map. But, given the difficulties of the team with the composition, I have absolutely no faith in ALEX and the company. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NIP team.
