Прогноз на матч CS2 NiP - Entropiq

NIP and Entropiq will meet in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15. Considering how the teams played the round earlier, I can't say for sure who will be the favorite of this fight. At the same time, I have long-standing questions about the game of the Swedes, so I dare to expect an equal confrontation.

Form N.I.P.

The eighth team of the world ranking failed to reach the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2022, once again losing all important meetings. However, at the start of ESL Pro League Season 15, the Swedish team literally tore fnatic apart, looking confident. However, I wouldn't go ahead and extol NIP, which has traditionally struggled in games with strong teams.

Latest NIP results:

• Victory over Gambit with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Virtus.pro with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Gambit with a score of 0:2.
• 2-0 victory over fnatic.

Best NIP cards:

• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 57% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

I note that the team does not play on the Dust 2 map.

Entropy form

The 11th team in the world ranking failed at IEM Katowice 2022, failing to qualify for the group stage of the championship. After that, the Russian team flew out of Pinnacle Winter Series 2 and Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 without getting a single full-fledged victory. However, at the start of the EPL, the team managed to surprise by unexpectedly outplaying MOUZ. I won’t say that Entropiq looked really fresh, but the application is good.

• Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 0:2.
• Technical victory over ECSTATIC.
• Lost to BLUEJAYS with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to ENCE with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.

Best Entropiq cards:

• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Nuke - 71% of wins.
• Mirage - 54% of wins.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the team continues to refuse the Inferno map.

Prediction for the match NIP — Entropiq

Personally, I can't single out a favorite. Yes, to some extent the Swedes are slightly ahead, given their experience. However, if you take into account the opening game from Entropiq, the team can fight and impose their game. Therefore, here I propose to bet more on Total on cards 2.5.
