Match Prediction: NiP - OG | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2023 EuropeNinjas in Pyjamas and OG will play in the quarterfinals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe. Interesting signings, but the play of both teams leaves a lot to be desired. The winner is very likely to play Cloud9 next, which is such a treat.
And the situation has gotten to the point where Ninjas in Pyjamas manages to fly out of the open qualifiers, losing to 9 Pandas. You know it shouldn't be like this, but Aleksib's tricks to break up all his teams continue.
OG's situation, however, is no better. The team lost its captain and became nothing at all. Moreover, on the same ESL Pro League Season 17 teams played each other and in a battle of two failures "ninjas" won.
We should expect a similar thing here. Therefore, I would look out for a Ninjas in Pyjamas victory. After all, OG has fallen apart without their captain, and I don't believe in the boys' success in such circumstances.
Ninjas in Pyjamas uniform
The seventeenth-ranked team in the world failed the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023, where they managed to suffer two toothless defeats to the Outsiders and Vitality.
Then the squad headed to the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they failed again. Ninjas in Pyjamas were left without a playoff berth as they lost to 00NATION.
It seemed as though the bottom had been hit, but there were knocks from below. Most recently, the team was in open qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, where, by the way, they lost to 9 Pandas. With that kind of success, there's definitely nothing to do in Washington.
Ninjas in Pyjamas latest results:
- A 1-2 loss to Grayhound Gaming.
- A 2-0 win over OG.
- 1-2 defeat of 00NATION.
- 16-14 win over HOTU.
- Defeat by 9 Pandas 13-16.
Ninjas in Pyjamas top cards:
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
Let's not forget that the Ninjas in Pyjamas team decided not to play the Anubis card.
Form OG
The 11th ranked team in the world also failed in the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023, but there at least managed to get a very tough victory over MOUZ.
Then the European team qualified for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR, although they got very controversial victories over inferior opponents.
As for their performance in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, here OG was limited to one victory over 00NATION, but then it was a shame. All in all, the team is doing no better, and in some places even worse.
The latest OG results:
- A 2-0 victory over Aurora Gaming.
- Victory over 00NATION with a score of 2-0.
- A 0-2 loss to Vitality.
- 1-2 defeat to paiN Gaming.
- A 0-2 defeat to Ninjas in Pyjamas.
Best OG cards:
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 60% wins.
- Ancient - 57% wins.
In turn, the OG team is still not shown on the Nuke card.

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs OG
Last time the teams played Mirage and Vertigo. Yes, it was close, but Ninjas in Pyjamas looked a step ahead. Not much time has passed since then, and things haven't gotten any better.
OG is still failing, and Ninjas in Pyjamas are performing horribly. In general, the teams are worth each other, and it's unlikely that they'll make it to Washington.
To be honest, it's better to skip such matches, because it's a complete randomness here. And yet the OG game has completely fallen apart, so in this case I would recommend betting on the Ninjas in Pyjamas team to win.
