Match Prediction: NaVi - NiP | Counter-Strike (CS2)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022NAVI and NIP will compete for a direct ticket to the playoffs of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Hand on heart, the Swedish team has little even hypothetical chances of success, since Born to Win, despite all the rumors, looks very worthy. Well, NIP still needs to solve their problems, because playing so monotonously and winning is always impossible.
Form NAVI
The second team in the world ranking had a great start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Firstly, the team got an important moral victory over G2. Secondly, "Born to Win" beat BIG without a chance. Honestly, NAVI has excellent chances to reach the playoffs today. Nevertheless, everything here depends on the opponent, who up to this point managed to surprise with his preparation, tearing apart a couple of favorites.

Needless to say, the Born to Win will be ditching the Vertigo card.
Form N.I.P.
The eighth team in the world ranking seems to have had a great start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, defeating Vitality. However, then the Swedes went through Cloud9 with grief in half, taking advantage of the mistakes. However, I am ready to bury NIP in advance, because this team has nothing that could help win at least some major tournament. As for this match, I will not guess and will write the Swedes 0-2.

- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:1.
- 2-1 victory over the Bad News Eagles.
- Defeated by Astralis with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 16:4.
- Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 16:14.
Best NIP cards:
- Inferno - 83% of wins.
- Ancient - 73% of wins.
- Overpass - 60% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
I note that now the Swedish team is refusing the Dust 2 map.

Prediction for the match NAVI — NIP
I see no reason to comment on this confrontation. The Swedes must show their best CS of all time in order to qualify at least for the map. In reality, the "Born to Win" is not in danger, since the NIP, with the slightest pressure, will crumble. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NAVI team with a score of 2:0.

My prediction: Natus Vincere win Game
I share my opinion, but the decision to play for money is up to you. This is solely your responsibility. In every game, an outsider can win, so there is always a risk of losing.
Do not bet more than 5% of the pot unless you are ready to lose large sums of money.

Match prediction
After all the past matches of this major, I can say that this year it is more difficult to predict the result of any match. Personally, I do not believe in the Russian-Ukrainian team, thus I am constantly afraid to bet against and for them. A very unstable team, where only s1mple and B1ad3 win back, who just pulled out in a thin match against G2. But today we will try another option at the "unpredictable" Major. Although the Russian-Ukrainian team plays on a thin one, they prepare well for their opponents and take their own. Therefore, most likely against the Swedish guys, it will be much easier than against G2. The Swedes just can not boast of good results, winning the "erroneous" opponents' picks and playing without a sniper. Let's risk to win NAVI 2:0.
