Match Prediction: NiP - Mousesports | CS2 (CS:GO)

NIP and MOUZ will meet in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15. The Swedes are still the leaders of the standings, having not lost a single match. At the same time, MOUZ managed to surprise twice, first losing to Entropiq, and then sensationally outplaying G2. Nevertheless, I hardly believe in the victory of the “mice”, which look very faded against the background of NIP.

Form N.I.P.

The eighth team of the world ranking started well in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15. Moreover, the Swedish team has already won two confident victories without discarding a single card. Moreover, NIP broke the total on the map only once, which clearly indicates an incredible mood for this championship. And in Katowice, the team has already closed MOUZ, thus showing the difference between the two teams.

Latest NIP results:

• 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.
• 2-0 victory over fnatic.
• Victory over Entropiq with a score of 2:0.

Best NIP cards:

• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 62% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

I note that the team has not been playing on the Dust 2 map for some time.

MOUZ form

The 13th team in the world ranking had an ambiguous start at ESL Pro League Season 15. Already in the first match, the team upset the fans by unexpectedly losing to Entropiq. However, the next day, MOUZ managed to shoot down G2, showing a much more interesting game in terms of the idea itself. However, against the Swedes, the team does not have many chances. And I'm interested in what the team plans to do with hampus and his aggression.

Latest MOUZ results:

• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over OG with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by NIP with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from Entropiq with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over G2 with a score of 2:0.

Best MOUZ cards:

• Nuke - 80% win rate.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.

At the same time, the team does not play on the Overpass map.

NIP meeting statistics – MOUZ

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Katowice 2022, the victory went to NIP (2: 0).

Prediction for the match NIP vs MOUZ

I have listed the main points above. I will only add that, in my understanding, MOUZ is not yet an integral team capable of building its game on some clear idea. If it flies, then good. Otherwise, the Swedes will simply sweep away the "mice" from the server. Yes, and a recent example suggests that the Swedish team is still better prepared in this segment of the season. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NIP team.
