Prediction on match CS2 NiP - OG

NiP and OG will meet at IEM Summer 2021. The match will be held in BO1 format, which does not negate the presence of intrigue. Moreover, in light of the recent changes in the Swedes' roster, it seems to me more that OG has good chances to beat the “favorite”.

NiP shape

The tenth team in the world rankings took second place in the last FLASHPOINT 3, and, in general, had an even championship without obvious declines. Nevertheless, the Swedes thought about it and decided to change the awl for soap, removing the ztr and taking the LNZ. I don't know what exactly the team found in the guy, but even against the background of the rest of the Young Ninjas, he did not stand out for his stability. Therefore, it seems to me that all this painfully backfires on NiP, which sets itself some grandiose goals.

Recent results NiP:

• Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against mousesports with a score of 1: 2.

Best NiP cards:

• Overpass - 86% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% wins.

On other maps, the Swedish team still faces difficulties. That being said, I believe NiP will ditch Nuke, Vertigo and Mirage.

Form OG

The 20th team in the world rankings came and completely failed at FLASHPOINT 3, losing two matches out of two. However, the team quickly rebooted, performing excellently at Spring Sweet Spring 2. And it seems to me that with this attitude, OG has a good chance to show itself in all its glory at the next major championship, which, in many ways, will predetermine the success or failure of the transfer campaign.

Recent results OG:

• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to Astralis with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over 1WIN with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Fiend with a score of 2: 0.

Best OG cards:

• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Dust 2 - 57% wins.
• Mirage - 57% wins.
• Inferno - 54% wins.

At the same time, the team is not so clear on Train and Overpass. However, I am confident that OG will ditch Vertigo.

NiP - OG Meetings Statistics

During the last season, the teams held three meetings:

• NiP wins BLAST Premier Spring 2020 Europe Finals with a score of 2: 0.
• OG won in ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
• NiP wins DreamHack Open Fall 2020 with a score of 2: 0.

However, it should be said that since then the teams have changed their rosters.

Forecast for the match NiP - OG

Personally, I am very confused by the replacement in the Swedish team. Does this mean that hampus is returning to the role of captain? Perhaps the young will take the reins? In any case, a sharp change of horses on the crossing never plays a plus, so there is also OG, which has gained a good form. In addition, the selection of cards from the teams is approximately equal, which, taking into account the replacement at NiP, tilts the balance in favor of the Europeans. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the OG team.
