Прогноз на матч: NiP - MOUZ | Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST Paris Major 2023 Challengers StageNinjas in Pyjamas and MOUZ will meet in the first round of the BLAST Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage. A very The International is a heresy couple, as both teams have been in trouble for months and can't find themselves.
Personally, I don't like what Aleksib is trying to play. In turn, "mice" started to ask for changes in the line-up, and the first to look at the captain, who does not just give hackneyed calls, but also does not shoot.
All in all, it's a stalemate, so you have to choose based on personal preference. It seems to me that MOUZ is going through a systemic crisis, which is hard to solve with some training. And in the RMR tournament the team did not play strong enough, limiting itself to only one good game.
So here I would lean on the Ninjas in Pyjamas team to win, which at least does not lose to BIG and 9INE. The bottom line is that MOUZ is in danger of failing the championship, and we'll see there.
Ninjas in Pyjamas form
The fourteenth world ranked team managed to fail at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe before failing to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023.
Nevertheless, the European team was able to play in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they beat Eternal Fire, Astralis and BIG to qualify for the majors.
Ninjas in Pyjamas also competed at IEM Rio 2023 where they managed to take down Imperial Esports and 9INE, but also suffered two defeats from Natus Vincere and Heroic and were left without a ticket to the play-offs.
Ninjas in Pyjamas latest results:

- A 16-5 win over Imperial Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to Natus Vincere.
- Victory over 9INE by a score of 2-1.

Best Ninjas in Pyjamas:
- Mirage - 73% wins.

It should be remembered that the European squad usually forgoes Anubis.
Form MOUZ
The eleventh team in the world rankings fell in the play-offs BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where they registered one victory over Apeks, but got farther away from FORZE without a chance.
After that, the European team had problems playing in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where they even managed to lose to B8 Esports and Falcons, but miraculously made it to the majors.
However, after such a cold shower, MOUZ didn't fix anything by arriving at IEM Rio 2023. As a result, the Mice suffered two defeats to BIG and 9INE, heading home in the early going.
MOUZ's latest results:
- An 8-16 defeat to Falcons.
- A 2-0 win over Virtus.pro.
- Defeat FaZe Clan 2-1.
- Defeat at the hands of BIG by a score of 6:16.
- Defeat by 9INE 1-2.
MOUZ's best scores:
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Ancient - 70% wins.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
In turn, the MOUZ team also takes no chances on the Anubis map.

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs MOUZ
It's hard to predict the card like this as the teams can play Vertigo, Ancient, Inferno and Mirage. However, the overall impression is that MOUZ is in deep crisis and struggling to adapt to the current realities.
Ninjas in Pyjamas, on the other hand, is showing some signs of life. However, in games against the conditional Natus Vincere and Heroic, things are still very sad, so we should not expect any special achievements.
All in all, the Mice are disappointing, and it's unlikely that the team has any margin of safety to make up for it in a fortnight. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Ninjas in Pyjamas to win.
