Match Prediction: NiP - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2021 Play-InNiP and Virtus.pro will compete for the right to qualify ahead of time for IEM Katowice 2021. Both teams started their journey with victories. But if the Swedes were very surprised, then VP made her fans very nervous.
NiP shape
The 15th team in the world ranking greatly surprised everyone at the last BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021. The Swedes not only made it to the BLAST Premier Spring Finals, but also beat Astralis (2: 0) and BIG (2: 0). However, in the final, the team still lost to BIG (0: 2), casting doubt on the long-term prospects. Nevertheless, already at the start of the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, the Swedes beat Complexity (16: 7), showing an excellent level of preparation.
Best NiP cards:
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
However, the team is still very bad with other cards. At the same time, in the new season, the Swedes have never won a Vertigo, leaving which is a death sentence.
Virtus.pro kits
The fifth team of the world ranking a few weeks ago became the winner of cs_summit 7, beating many serious rivals without losing a single map. After that, the team went to the playoffs Snow Sweet Snow 1, where they beat only Endpoint (2: 0). However, VP's winning streak ended there, as the team failed to cope with Gambit in the semifinals (1: 2). Nevertheless, at the start of IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, the team managed to cope with Wisla Krakow (16:10), getting a chance to advance to the main tournament.
Best Virtus.pro cards:
- Dust 2 - 88% wins.
- Inferno - 73% wins.
- Train - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 64% wins.
At the same time, the team has not played Nuke for a long time. Nevertheless, in the conditions of this meeting, the team does not care which map to play on, since the statistics speaks for itself.
Personal meetings statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- · Virtus.pro victory in cs_summit 7 with a score of 2: 0.
- · Virtus.pro victory in cs_summit 7 with a score of 2: 0.
So it turns out that VP is the main favorite of the upcoming match.
Forecast for the match NiP - Virtus.pro
I doubt very much that the Swedes will be able to overcome the psychological barrier and win this meeting. First of all, VP has a well-coordinated structure of the game, which not every team can figure out. Secondly, NiP is a very unpredictable team that makes a lot of mistakes. This can be a stumbling block. Therefore, I propose to bet the Virtus.pro team to win with the odds of 1.44.
