Prediction on match CS2 OG - NiP

OG and NIP will compete for the right to go to the grand finals of the Global Esports Tour 2022: Dubai. There were interesting matches yesterday, as both teams managed to give away cards as an obvious outsider. Moreover, both teams are experiencing difficulties to some extent, since OG is only trying out a new line-up and performing without a coach, just as the Swedes continue to torture themselves with ztr ideas. In such a situation, it is simply difficult for me to name a favorite.

Form OG

The 31st team of the world ranking has updated its roster, inviting young players from the vastness of the TIER-2 scene. It is clear that the team will need some time to adapt to new roles and come up with something interesting.

As for the start of the Global Esports Tour 2022: Dubai, here OG managed to cope with Complexity, at the beginning it turned out to be terrible on the Overpass map. It is clear that the team lost a lot of clutches, but still it is simply impossible to act like that.

Latest OG results:

• Defeat from forZe with a score of 17:19.
• Victory over Unique with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.

Best OG cards:

• Overpass - 67% of wins.

Interestingly, in their last match, the team refused the Nuke card.

Form N.I.P.

The seventh team in the world ranking failed at IEM Dallas 2022 without even making it to the playoffs. I see no reason to talk about the absence of the captain, since hampus did not come to the UAE, trying to improve his health.

However, at the start of Global Esports Tour 2022: Dubai, the Swedish team lost too many rounds on Mirage, miraculously losing to the Russian-Arab NASR squad. It's really scary for the preparation of NIP, since such opponents should be clicked once or twice.

Latest NIP results:

• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1:2.
• Defeated by BIG with a score of 10:16.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.
• 2:1 victory over NASR.

Best NIP cards:

• Inferno - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 64% of wins.
• Nuke - 62% of wins.
• Ancient - 62% of wins.

Let me remind you that now the Swedish team is refusing the Dust 2 map.

OG vs NIP meeting statistics

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, the victory went to OG (2:1).

Prediction for the match OG — NIP

In February, the teams played on the Overpass, Ancient and Mirage maps - approximately the same alignment should appear in this meeting. However, given the start of the teams in the championship, I can't single out one person - everyone played equally terrible. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
