Прогноз на матч CS2 NiP - OG

Ninjas in Pyjamas and OG will meet in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they will play for the right to go 2-1 in the basket, or fall below and fight for survival.

To be honest, I wasn't impressed with the OG game in any way, although in the same match against MOUZ, the team clearly outdid themselves. Ninjas in Pyjamas, on the other hand, continues to play at their usual pace, losing to everyone who is struggling.

Still, it's hard for me to look towards a squad that doesn't have a captain. It's clear that Aleksib is a shot in the arm, but everything is much better on the background of OG. So here I would lean on Ninjas in Pyjamas to win.

Ninjas in Pyjamas uniforms

The fourteenth ranked team in the world left a lot of questions after the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, but still managed to outplay Eternal Fire, Astralis and BIG there.

After that, the European team played at IEM Rio 2023, where they defeated Imperial Esports and 9INE, but after losses to Natus Vincere and Heroic did not even make the play-offs.

On the first day of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, Ninjas in Pyjamas soundly defeated MOUZ but then Ledgeila ENCE by a similar score.

Ninjas in Pyjamas latest results:

• A 0-2 defeat to Natus Vincere.
• Victory over 9INE with a score of 2-1.
• 0-2 defeat of Heroic.
• 16-9 win over MOUZ.
• Defeat by ENCE 9-16.

Best Ninjas in Pyjamas:

• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 57% wins.
• Overpass - 56% wins.

I would like to point out that the Ninjas in Pyjamas team has been refusing Anubis maps for a long time.

Form OG

The eleventh team of the world ranking had time to be on the same IEM Rio 2023, where they were defeated by Cloud9 and Vitality and were left without a ticket to the play-offs stage.

Next up, the European side took part in Brazy Party 2023 where they beat GODSENT, Eternal Fire and SAW but also Ledgeil Apeks and Cloud9 to reach the semi-finals.

As for Long Sogpeg at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, here OG fell short against ENCE before rather unexpectedly outplaying MOUZ to stay afloat.

OG's latest results:

• A 2-1 win over Eternal Fire.
• Victory over SAW with a score of 2-0.
• 1-2 defeat of Cloud9.
• Defeat to ENCE, 6-16.
• 16-11 win over MOUZ.

OG's best scores:

• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.

In turn, the OG team has not featured on the Nuke map for a long time.

Ninjas in Pyjamas - OG encounter statistics

During the current season, the teams have played three meetings:

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs OG

I'd trust the subjective evaluation of the situation here and the statistics will help. After all, OG has a hard time keeping the same pace all season long, and a lot depends on the shooting and the mood. NIP also have their inputs, but here you can believe in some work and logic. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Ninjas in Pyjamas team to win.
