Match Prediction: G2 Esports - NiP | CS2 (CS:GO)

G2 and NIP will compete for the right to reach the grand final of their group at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. Both teams showed a good game at the start of the tournament, but G2 still has much more confidence than the opponent. At the same time, NIP continue to be a very controversial team, which traditionally suffers from instability.

Form G2

The fourth team in the world ranking has changed a lot by signing m0NESY and Aleksib. As a result, the team made a good debut at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, having won a confident victory over Complexity. Moreover, G2 instantly changed, showing the influence of the Finnish captain. And with such a well-balanced game, the team has every chance to continue its winning streak, albeit in such a short format.

Latest G2 results:

• Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over NIP with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to NAVI with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 16:12.

Best G2 Maps:

• Dust 2 - 100% win rate.
• Inferno - 83% of wins.
• Mirage - 75% of wins.

There is a suspicion that at first the team will continue to ban Overpass.

Form N.I.P.

The seventh team in the world ranking expectedly failed the end of last season, losing all the key matches. As before, the Swedes are sitting without a device, which is again replaced by phzy. I can't say that the start of NIP turned out to be interesting, but with grief in half the team outplayed BIG. Moreover, the Swedes did not really show anything, just saddling their luck and catching their opponent on mistakes.

Latest NIP results:

• Victory over G2 with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 0:3.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 1:2.
• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 16:12.

Best NIP cards:

• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 54% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

At the same time, the Swedes have always played terrible on the Dust 2 map, avoiding Vertigo along the way.

Prediction for the match G2 – NIP

For me personally, the Swedes are still not a worthy team to believe in. And if now NIP has won, then after 10 minutes the team can go to the swim. However, G2 left behind more bright spots, showing exactly what work on style. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the G2 team with Handicap by rounds (-2.5).
