NiP Will win

The group stage of IEM Cologne 2021 is rapidly approaching its conclusion. Today we will watch the second round of the lower bracket, in the first match of which NiP and Virtus.pro will play.

The Swedes will confront the "bears". The winner of the pair is sent to the final of the lower bracket, where he will have a chance to make it to the playoffs. The path is thorny and difficult, but what to do, these are the realities.

We are trying to figure out what to expect from the fight, and who will get another chance in Cologne.

NiP shape

Let's start the analysis with the nominal favorite of the match, 5 teams of the world. Ninjas in Pajamas.

As for me, NiP is underestimated by many in this tournament. And it surprises me a little. Yet in my understanding, NiP is on the rise now.

Already in Cologne, they outplayed LDLC, mousesports and Team Liquid, and Gambit fought. This already speaks of the competence of the Swedes.

Results of the last matches

Defeat from mousesports with a score of 1-2
Beat LDLC 16-6
Victory over mousesports with a score of 2-0
Defeat Liquid 2-1
Lost at Gambit with a score of 1-2

I mentioned the NiP condition above. But he did not mention the cards.

NiP cards

The best NiP card is Ancient. For 8 games, the Swedes have 62% of victories on it.

The worst card is Inferno. There the Swedes have a win rate of 40% in 10 games.

NiP ignore Vertigo.

Virtus.pro kits

The 6th team of the world - Virtus.pro will play against NiP. Bears hibernated this season but seem to be showing signs of awakening.

We have already mentioned VP's performance before Cologne, so we will not stir up the past. Better to talk about VP's performance during this IEM. After all, there is something to note.

First, you can "lose" with a fight from BIG. Secondly, one cannot fail to note yesterday's strong-willed victory with a score of 2-1 over Complexity. This is why I said the bears are showing signs of awakening. But I think it will be very hard against NiP.

VP Recent Results

Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1-2
Defeat K23 with a score of 1-2
Lose at Entropiq 0-2
Lost to BIG 0-2
Defeat Complexity 2-1

You can't take away VP's character. Let's look at him in today's confrontation.

VP cards

VP's most successful map is Inferno. For 14 games there, the "bears" have 57% of wins.

VP's worst card is Vertigo. There, in 5 games, VP has only 1 victory

Ignore Ancient's VP card.

History of personal confrontations

In the last 5 matches, Virtus.pro have won 4 matches.

Match outcome

As we can see, NiP is a convenient contender for the bears, or at least it was before the decline of the former. Now NiP is the favorite and I agree with that.

NiP in the course of this Cologne has more games against good teams and, as a result, better dexterity. Plus, yesterday's VP match, which lasted until late at night, will give NiP a lot of information.

Outcome: victory for NiP.

NiP Will win

Another game for the right to stay in the tournament for VP. Will Dev1ce be able to tune his team for this match and get the LAN tournament advantage on his side. The most dramatic matches are just getting started.

NiP

The Swedes were unlucky enough to get to the Gambit in the upper bracket, but despite all this, they were able to win one map. Before that, the opponents were the Liquid team, which they managed to beat 2-1. The team approached this tournament for a very long time, after replacing ztr the team was able to fix their problems and now finally a LAN tournament where they can reveal their full potential.

VP

VP waited a long time for the match against CoL yesterday, in the end they waited and it was excellent. The guys from the CIS were able to win the series from 0-1 and recoup from 15-10 to special stages and win them. The team still does not show their best form and constantly experience problems in every match. In the first match, they were defeated by BIG 2-0, but there were two close cards. VP has a good understanding of many maps, but has been lacking in individual play lately.

Outcome

Before the arrival of Dev1ce, VP were the clear favorites in this confrontation and constantly beat Nip, but now everything has changed in the opposite direction and all factors are on the side of the Swedes.
