Match Prediction: Cloud9 - Ninjas in Pyjamas | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Pro Series Season 2: IstanbulThe last time when the collectives met happened at ESL One Cologne 2018 at the beginning of June and then Cloud9 turned out to be stronger winning over their opponents by the score of 16:03 on the map “inferno”.
Cloud9 have an awful shale and at last FACEIT Major: London 2018 the collective got the 12-14 position as they managed to defeat Winstrike only. After such a failure, the management decided to change the roster and flusha joined the team, replacing STYKO. On the map “Mirage” the team performed six months in last three months and three times “Clouds” got the win. We should mark that they won over Tier-2 collectives such as BlackOut, Vision and eUnited. At the first match the guys lost against MiBR by the score of 16:09 on the map “dust 2”.
Meanwhile, Ninjas in Pyjamas started to play stronger and in last several months they got the 3-4 position at DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018, and after that they managed to become legends at FACEIT Major: London 2018, losing against MiBR at the decisive match. On the map “Mirage”, the roster looked stronger and in last several months the guys won five out of nine meetings, and at two lost matches the score was 16:14. At the first match at BLAST Pro Series Season 2: Istanbul NiP lost against Space Soldiers by the score of 16:13 on the map “Mirage”.
Bookmakers think that NiP are the favourites of the battle and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.4, while the triumph of Space Soldiers is evaluated as 2.8. We agree with the opinion of the bookmakers and will lean towards the Swedish team.
