Match Prediction: NaVi - NiP | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Paris Major 2023NAVI and Ninjas in Pyjamas will meet in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they will try to find out who will go on holiday in good spirits and who will be on the cusp of relegation.
I do not see the point in commenting on what is happening, because in a few hours ditutnion team managed to show a completely different level of play. Ninjas in Pyjamas surprised less than NAVI, who could not cope with Team Liquid.
And yet here Born to Win should wake up, because with such an opponent it's possible to come back. Therefore I would rely on a logical victory for Team NAVI here.
NAVI's form
The world number three team looked good at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where they easily outplayed Into the Breach, Falcons and FaZe Clan to reach the "legends".
Next up, Born to Win steeped Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023 with three wins, but in the semi-finals they again failed to handle the pressure and Ledge or Heroic, failing to take a single win.
As for the Long Sogpeg in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, here NAVI confidently outplayed GamerLegion, but in the second round, the team freaked out defeat of Team Liquid, showing dead defence on the map Inferno.

Don't forget that Born to Win also steadily rejects maps Vertigo.
Ninjas in Pyjamas form
The fourteenth world ranked team showed nothing at the recent IEM Rio 2023, where they managed to beat Imperial Esports and 9INE, but then failed to cope with Natus Vincere and Heroic, going home.
However, the European squad played well at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they lost to ENCE, but also managed to deal with MOUZ, OG and Grayhound Gaming.
As for day one of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Ninjas in Pyjamas managed to lose to fnatic but then battled back and took on FURIA in a very easy manner.

NAVI vs Ninjas in Pyjamas
What is there to comment on here at all? Both teams showed a crumpled Long Corner, and managed to lose as well as win. However, you have to be realistic and know that you automatically expect more from NAVI.
And Ninjas in Pyjamas has never been a difficult opponent for Born to Win, as the statistics also show. Understandably, anything can happen in BO1, but it's unlikely that Ninjas are ready to commit a major upset.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on NAVI to win.
