Prediction on match CS2 NiP - NaVi

NIP and NAVI will meet in the semi-finals of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. I don’t think that the Swedes will be able to get to the grand final of the tournament and play against OG, because even in the current state, Born to Win have no chance to close whiny boys. And let's not forget that in the same group stage, NIP had problems in games against G2.

Form N.I.P.

The seventh team in the world ranking played ambiguously in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. On the one hand, the Swedes beat BIG twice, sort of showing their confidence. On the other hand, the team also lost twice to G2, showing nothing at all in the first game. And don't forget that NIP is traditionally difficult to play against big opponents, so I don't see any prospects for the team.

Latest NIP results:

• Lost to Astralis with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 16:12.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 6:16.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 16:9.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 19:22.

Best NIP cards:

• Nuke - 67% of wins.

At the same time, I doubt that the team will dare to play Dust 2.

Form NAVI

The first team of the world ranking failed at the start of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, losing to both MIBR and Astralis. Apparently, something clicked for the team, because already in the quarter-finals of the Play-In stage, the "Born to Win" rolled around Team Liquid, showing a much more intelligible CS. Therefore, I am sure that NAVI has embarked on the right track and will rush to the grand final without any problems.

Latest NAVI results:

• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Gambit with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to MIBR with a score of 11:16.
• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 17:19.
• The victory over Liquid with a score of 2:0.

The best NAVI maps:

• Ancient - 100% win rate.
• Nuke - 88% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 83% of wins.
• Inferno - 71% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 62% of wins.

Well, traditionally the team does not play on the Vertigo map.

Statistics of meetings NIP — NAVI

As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at PGL Major Stockholm 2021, NAVI won (2:0).

Prediction for the match NIP — NAVI

I still remember the match in Stockholm where the Swedish team looked confused. At the same time, I have doubts that something has changed in the NIP game over these months. Well, NAVI, having shown an incomprehensible start at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, apparently began to improve. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team with a score of 2:0.
