Match Prediction: Monte - NiP | CS2 (CS:GO)
Roobet Cup 2023Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The good CS2 continues with the Roobet Cup 2023 matches. We are still watching the battles in the group stage of the $250,000 championship where one of the Basket D matches.
The match between Monte and NiP Stunet is a duel for the play-offs. Either the Swedes or the Ukrainians will be the first to go to the main stage of the Roobet Cup 2023.
It remains for us to try to cbetting the result of the match and name the winner of the series. That's what we'll do.
Let's go.
Form Monte
We will open the analysis of the match with the analysis of Monte's form. In this match the Ukrainian club will play as favourites with odds around 1.5.
Monte became famous thanks to their performance at BLAST.tv Paris Major. At the Paris Major, unexpectedly for many, Monte made it to the top 8, but in the first match of play-offs Ledge and GamerLegion.
Before the Long Cologne IEM Cologne 2023 they had a series of unsuccessful tournaments. They finished top-16 at the next CCT, this time North Europe Series #5, and top-8 at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023.
- Monte lineup: sdy, br0, Woro2k, DemQQ, kRaSnaL .
After a great run at BLAST.tv Major 2023, Monte left the headliner of that roster - BOROS, and was replaced by Astralis Talent member - Danish br0.
Monte rolled out the roster at Play-In IEM Cologne 2023, where they defeated Brazilian teams twice: first Imperial 16-9 and then FURIA 2-1 in the series. Monte beat GamerLegion in the group stage, but were unable to face more serious opponents like Heroic. IEM Cologne 2023 ended with a match against Cloud9. Monte tried, but Ledgeilie more titled club with a score of 0-2.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18 played a number of local championships. Among them were CCT Series tournaments, where Monte finished in the top 4, and top 2 at CCT North Europe Series #7, and there was also Pinnacle Cup V, where the Ukrainian club again finished in the top 4.
In the debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18 they met with the Germans from BIG. As expected, the match was equal, especially on the first two maps, but the decisive one was very lopsided: 16-5 in favour of BIG and Monte fell to the lower grid.
In the first round of the lower grid Monte played with the nominally weakest participants of Basket B - Australians from Rooster. It looked like they were going to close with a 2-0 score, but it turned out that there was no need to be happy before the time, and Monte Ledge were on the first card, but then cameback, thus turning the series in their favour.
In the previous match Monte played against MIBR. As in all other matches on ESL Pro League, the game was tense and hard, but in the end the Brazilians triumphed.
Next, Monte managed to get through the last chance net. First they outplayed Heroic with a score of 1-2, and then took revenge on MIBR.
After a real success in the group, Monte made it to the first round of play-offs. There they showed a very serious level of play, defeating Fnatic, Complexity and then Vitality. They were beaten by NaVi, winning the semi-finals 2-0.
Before playing at Roobet Cup 2023, Monte played at IEM Sydney 2023, where they showed a pretty good, but not perfect, game. Monte finished the Sydney tournament at the top-8 stage.
Monte played their debut match at Roobet Cup 2023 against OG. They won 2-0, running over their opponents on class.
Mapule Monte
Monte's best map is Ancient. There Monte has 7 wins in 9 matches. However, Mirage can also be called a signature choice for the Ukrainian club: it has been played 13 times and won 10 of them.
Things are not bad on Anubis, where Monte has 8 wins and 4 losses.
The worst is Vertigo. There Monte have a statistic of 2-4.
NiP form
We continue the match analysis with Ninjas in Pyjamas form. In this match the Swedes will play as an outsider with odds to win around 2.3.
If in the first half of the year NiP were remembered only for getting to Paris Major 2023 after 7th place at European RMR B, and then top 8-11 at the Paris tournament itself. It got better after coming out of the competition break.
NiP lost to Last Change Qualifiers at Gamers8 at the Long Crest of the second half of the year, but then played solidly at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. They managed to reach the Autumn Finals quite easily, beating the Vitality grands.
- NiP roster: REZ, hampus, maxster, headtr1ck, k0nfig.
NiP are approaching IEM Cologne 2023 in full readiness. Before the tournament the team had no substitutions. This will clearly play to the Swedish club's advantage.
In the first round of the Play-In IEM Cologne 2023 Ninjas in Pyjamas met Into The Breach. The match ended in NiP's easiest outing at Ancient with a score of 16-5.
In the match to advance to the group stage of IEM Cologne 2023 NiP played against MOUZ. The Mice beat the Swedes on class, giving them 19 rounds in two matches.
They managed to get out of the Play-In after the second round match of the lower grid against Imperial. Nervously, with the score 2-1.
However, it was not possible to play long in IEM Cologne 2023. NiP finished their journey through the tournament in the bottom set of Group B with a loss against Astralis.
After failing at IEM Cologne 2023, NiP failed to qualify for IEM Sydney 2023 and also completely failed ESL Pro League Season 18, finishing in the top-26 of the tournament.
Ninjas In Pyjamas play at Roobet Cup 2023 with a revamped roster. Maxster has temporarily joined the roster, replacing Brollan. The young Swede has already made his mark as the best player of the match in the game against Fnatic, which NiP won.
Ninjas in Pyjamas Mappool
Top 1 map Ninjas in Pyjamas for the last 3 months is Mirage. Ninjas in Pyjamas has a mind-blowing winrate of 92% with 13 games played.
They also played Inferno where they won 5 matches out of 7 games. Nuke is also in plus winrate, where the "ninjas" have 3 wins from 5 matches.
The most not favoured card for NiP will be Vertigo. NiP has 6 cards and only 1 win.
History of head-to-head meetings Monte - Ninjas in Pyjamas
The last time the teams played each other was at the qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2023. Then NiP won, outplaying Monte with a score of 2-0.
Predicted result of Monte vs NiP at Roobet Cup 2023
Considering Monte's pretty good performance in CS2 and their serious winning record in recent months, I believe they will manage to beat NiP with a substitution. That's what my bet will be on.
Bottom line: Monte win.
