Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to follow the action at PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B. Let's talk about the second round matches, where the teams from the 1-0 and 0-1 baskets will meet.
In the NiP vs Parivision matchup, one of the teams will earn their first win, while the loser will fall to the 0-2 basket. The format of the encounter, as before, is bo1.
Let's see which team will be stronger and earn their first win in the fight for a slot at Shanghai Major 2024.
Let's go.
NiP Form
Let's open the NiP vs Pari match with an analysis of NiP's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.4.
In the first half of last year, NiP were remembered only for getting to Paris Major 2023 after finishing 7th 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 grandees like Vitality.
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 games. The tournament ended with NiP in the top 16.
In the 2024 season NiP seriously changed their roster, having actually carried out a complete renewal of the team.
- NiP roster: REZ, maxster, r1nkle, isak, MisteM.
In the 2024 season NiP failed in PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A, finishing in the top 16. In the second half of the year the situation improved a bit: they were TOP-2 at YaLLa Compass 2024, TOP-4 at FiReLEAGUE Global Final 2023. From the TIR-S tournaments the best performance was at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups, where NiP managed to beat C9 and FaZe, but then Astralis happened and fell to the top 8.
Later NiP played at BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2024, where they failed to repeat the success of the previous BLAST Premier tournament and as a result at the Fall Showdown "ninjas" took TOP-16. Later on, they finished Top-28 at ESL Pro League Season 20 and Top-16 at CCT Season 2 European Series #13. They also played at Thunderpick World Championship 2024, where they took TOP-12, which is not a good result.
At the European RMR B, the Long Team started with a match against G2 Esports, where they lost.
Map Ninjas in Pyjamas
The top 1 map Ninjas in Pyjamas has had in 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.
Parivision Form.
We continue the Parivision vs NiP match with the analysis of Pari's form. In this match they play in Underpassdog status with odds to win around 2.7.
PARIVISION is a relatively new tag in the world of competitive Counter-Strike 2. They started with a top-13 finish at ESL Challenger League Season 46: Europe, where they finished in the top 13. Performance did not improve much thereafter.
In the 2024 season PARIVISION played wherever they could, but mostly in Dash-B tournaments and local championships. For example, they played on TOP-16 RES European Series #1, and then "consolidated" the result on TOP-12 RES European Series #2.
Later was YaLLa Compass Spring 2024, where they took TOP-12 and TOP-16 at CCT Season 2 European Series #1. Among the most successful events of the year was CCT Season 2: European Series #7, where PARIVISION managed to reach TOP-2.
The second half of the year, and especially autumn 2024, was very successful for the club. We played at TIR-B tournaments and took something around TOP-8.
- PARIVISION lineup: BELCHONOKK, Patsi, ArtFr0st, Qikert, alpha.
The last tournament before PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B for PARIVISION was HellCup #11, where the team finished in the top 8, earning about $15,000.
The European RMR Long Sogpeg was defeated by Heroic.
PARIVISION's mappool
The most successful map of PARIVISION is Dust 2. The team has 4 wins and 1 loss.
Next are Mirage with 9 wins and 5 losses, Ancient with 8 wins and 5 losses.
Among the "failed cards" Anubis (4-5), Nuke (4-6), Vertigo (2-5).
History of head-to-head meetings between NiP and Parivision
This will be the debut match between the teams.
Predicted result of Parivision vs NiP at PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B
In this match my bet is on NiP. However, both teams have shown themselves "average" at the RMR Long Conference, so I will not be surprised to see either side win.
Bottom line: NiP win.
