Match Prediction: Team Liquid - NiP | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier Fall 2022 GroupsTeam Liquid and Ninjas in Pajamas will meet as part of the semi-finals of the Play-In stage at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. So far, the Swedish team is not doing well, as it managed to lose its Evil Geniuses map, and generally looked sleepy.
In turn, the North Americans rested a day longer, even though they failed to win their quartet. Nevertheless, Team Liquid showed not the coolest, but still confident game, which can compete with the Swedes from Ninjas in Pajamas.
Although, in this case it is difficult to single out a favorite, given the certain difficulties of both teams, it makes sense to wait for the third map to appear.
Form Team Liquid
The eighth team of the world ranking had a good start in the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, when they outplayed G2, and then put the squeeze on the strong-willed nature of Complexity.
However, the North American team failed to become the best in Group B, as they lost to NAVI in the final. However, one must understand that now the “liquid” ones look better than at the beginning of the year.
Plus, let's not forget about the YEKINDAR factor, which continues to make a difference in equal matches. Therefore, I dare to expect some kind of struggle from Team Liquid.
Latest Team Liquid results:
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by Movistar Riders with a score of 1:2.

Let's not forget that the North American team usually refuses the Nuke card.
Uniform Ninjas in Pajamas
The ninth team of the world ranking had a great start at the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they managed to drive over the Danes from Astralis.
Nevertheless, the Swedish team swam further, losing in a row to Vitality and Astralis. I don't know what happened to Ninjas in Pajamas then, but even now the team does not impress with discipline and endurance.
Although the Swedes managed to cope with Evil Geniuses the day before, they played too weakly, for which he paid the price on Overpass. And if you consider that the "liquid" will be stronger than the "Evil Geniuses", Ninjas in Pajamas will have to be much more difficult.
Latest Ninjas in Pajamas results:
- Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 16:10.

Do not forget that the Swedish team usually refuses the Dust 2 map.

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — Ninjas in Pajamas
A very difficult match for the Swedes, who may not be able to cope with such a game and lose. However, after the game with NAVI, the "liquid" ones also lost their chances, which did not show anything at Dust 2.
As a result, we get a 50-50 match, in which everything will be decided in detail. Yes, subjectively, I like Team Liquid's game more. However, Ninjas in Pajamas can show their teeth when they catch a wave of hampus.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
