As part of IEM Katowice 2023, Russians from Outsiders will fight Ninjas in Pyjamas.
NIP lost Vitality in the first match at the tournament without a chance, taking no more than ten rounds on each of the cards from those, but such a result was to be expected, not only did headtr1ck join the team recently, who does not have much experience of performing at a major tournament, but hampus is also experiencing problems, he will be replaced k0nfig. Of course, in such a situation it is impossible to talk about any teamwork, the guys will be in a fever for a long time.
Outsiders suffered three defeats in a row after the Major, they even managed to make a replacement by signing the talented KaiR0N. In Katowice, the Russians lost to fnatic in a close match, everything was decided on the overtimes of the third card. The potential of Outsiders is visible, there is enough experience and shooting, I expect good results from them after a while.
The Russians should win the unplayed NIPS, I assume that they will do it dry. I propose to play and win Outsiders with a handicap of -5.5 on the second card, with fnatic such a bet would have gone.
