Match Prediction: fnatic - Ninjas in Pyjamas | CS2 (CS:GO)
DreamHack Masters Malmo 2019We should start with the fact that Fnatic play with two newcomers flusha and Golden. Even though they had already played for this organization, they have recently joined the team and they haven't achieved good teamwork. Their way at the playoff was not as successful and interesting as Ninjas in Pyjamas'. Fnatic lost the first round of the upper bracket player against ENCE and continued fighting at the lower bracket. There they had difficulties winning over the main outsider TYLOO, beat G2 Esports, who had changed their roster before the start of the tournament and won over FURIA, who reshuffled their roster.
Meanwhile, Ninjas in Pyjamas passed the final stage at the upper bracket. At first, they beat mousesports, and then won over Grayhound who made Team Liquid leave the tournament. At the battle with Natus Vincere, the Swedish were not able to win any map, but f0rest and his teammates managed to make a good battle. Another important fact is that NiP signed twist, who used to play for Fnatic for a long time. This will be an unflinching meeting for the esportsman, as he is to meet his former allies, so he must work hard for the win. As for the bonus fact which strengthens our confidence in Ninjas in Pyjamas, we will say the positions of the Swedish teams in the world rating: NiP — 17 place, Fnatic — 23 place.
Even though we think that Ninjas in Pyjamas is favorite of the battle and listed the significant facts to prove it, the Swedish derby can be unpredictable. DreamHack Masters Malmo 2019 proved that this tournament does not follow usual rules, For example, Liquid and EG are already overboard and it is not the last surprise of the championship in Malmo.
