Both teams started their way to the playoffs at the Legends Stage, where G2 Esports defeated CPH Flames, FaZe Clan and Entropiq.

Ninjas in Pajamas found themselves one step away from being eliminated from this stage, they had a very difficult match with CPH Flames for reaching the playoffs, where they won 2: 1 on maps. Before that, NiP beat MOUZ, Astralis, but lost to NAVI and Gambit Esports.

Ninjas in Pajamas played a lot more games in the Legends Stage, they definitely went through stressful situations, which is only worth their meeting with Copenhagen Flames.

G2 Esports did not show much, they beat FaZe Clan, Entropiq and CPH Flames, all these 3 teams are not in the playoffs. While Ninjas in Pajamas lost only to NAVI and Gambit Esports, which look very strong on this Major. dev1ce in his interview notes that it is very difficult for them to fight against teams from the CIS.

A significant and important factor is that the audience will finally be present at the CS: GO LAN tournament, Avicii Arena, Sweden, just imagine how they will support Ninjas in Pajamas when they take rounds.

I don’t want to diminish the merit of G2 Esports, but I don’t really believe in them, since they were lucky with their rivals, especially Entropiq for reaching the playoffs.

The match promises to be very interesting, Ninjas in Pajamas are not particularly played by Mirage and Vertigo, G2 Esports do not like Overpass and Vertigo.

Most likely, NiP will want to play Inferno/Overpass with G2 Esports, and G2 Esports can charge their Mirage/Dust 2. A very interesting and unpredictable map veto, it can be interesting how the teams will surprise each other.

Bookmakers give 1.775 odds for G2 Esports and 2.088 for Ninjas in Pajamas. Tending to win NiP, I believe in 2.5 TB for 1.86.

Prediction: NiP will outplay G2 Esports in the quarterfinals of PGL Major: Stockholm 2021 - odds 2.088
