Match Prediction: NiP - FaZe Clan | Counter-Strike (CS2)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022NIP and FaZe Clan will meet in the first quarter-finals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Some, but the Swedish team, were definitely not lucky with the seeding, at least getting into the TOP-1 team of the world ranking. And in terms of the game model, FaZe Clan is now two steps ahead, which is why NIP has practically no chance. We do not argue that anything can happen in a single match, but in all respects, FaZe Clan should not feel the resistance of the Swedes and move on.
Form N.I.P.
The seventh team in the world ranking, on the one hand, still made it to the playoffs of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. On the other hand, I personally am not sure about the future prospects of the Swedes, who, even if they break the logic, still look faded at a distance. First of all, the NIP often breaks the game plan, again focusing on early aggression on the part of the captain. Secondly, as soon as the team hits a serious opponent, a real shame comes out and nothing really works out.

- Inferno - 75% of wins.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.

I note that now the Swedish team is refusing the Dust 2 map.
FaZe Clan form
The first team in the world ranking had a great start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, losing to ENCE almost without a chance. However, the team managed to wake up further to get three wins and get into the playoffs. Hand on heart, FaZe Clan is now playing a little worse than in February-March. Nevertheless, the team is still the favorite for any match, even if it has its weaknesses. Firstly, the start does not always work out, in particular, the first map is very lame. And yet, karrigan and the company certainly cannot be written off.

It is worth recalling that the team usually refuses the Vertigo card.
NIP meeting statistics — FaZe Clan
During the last season, the teams held two meetings:
- NIP's victory at ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 2:0.
- NIP victory at IEM Fall 2021 Europe with a score of 16:8.
But do not forget that since then FaZe Clan has become much stronger, while the Swedes, if you look from the outside, have remained on their own.
NIP vs FaZe Clan Match Prediction
It looks like we're in for a clear quarter-final, as NIP needs to jump two heads higher to win. At the same time, even at the statistics stage, we see that the Swedish team has big problems, since neither Mirage, nor Inferno, nor Overpass can become the unambiguous number one choice.
In turn, FaZe Clan has everything to win. Firstly, the team is on fire and eager to win the Major. Secondly, many single out these guys as the favorites of the tournament as a whole. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team.
The match is expected to be very intense and interesting. Two of the strongest organizations will meet in the 1/4 finals of the main cs go tournament. FaZe Clan look much more interesting and dynamic than NiP, especially after winning 2 of the first 2 important tournaments. But it’s even more interesting that there hasn’t been a single match between these teams lately (the last one was at IEM Fall 2021). This is very hard to judge. I still believe more in FaZe, because the guys are at the peak of their form, which cannot be said for sure about Nip. On this I say goodbye to you! Have a good time and watch a good counter strike. See you soon!

Match prediction
Today's match promises to be tasty and intense. The Swedish team now refers to the status of "dark horses". They show poor performance against strong teams, and smash the next matches, playing in the best possible way. The team does not lag behind in any way on an individual basis, has a good captain and coach. There are no concepts with a sniper. Literally 2-3 weeks ago, he just took up the post of sniper and already today they show a good tip. The mixed stack does not close in any way in front of them, but has a small problem - the absence of a coach and ropz, who literally "yesterday" was called the best open fragger. Therefore, it will be quite an equal match, but still I believe in the Swedes, on which the coefficient is 2.74. NIP victory.
The match was mathematically analyzed using HLTV 2.0 statistics. According to the results of this analysis, the FaZe team is much stronger than the opponent
My prediction: FaZe 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.
