Ninjas in Pyjamas will play with OG in the group stage of IEM Winter 2021. We analyze the form of the teams and give a forecast.
Ninjas in Pyjamas
At PGL Major Stockholm 2021, the Ninjas took 5-8 places, losing in the quarterfinals to G2 Esports (0-2), and after that they perform very modestly, having won only one victory in four matches. First, we suffered two losses at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, finishing in 7-8 places, and then we started with a victory over Astralis (16-8) in the framework of IEM Winter 2021, but in the second game we lost 0-2 to Team Vitality and were one step away from relegation.
OG
The guys from OG, whose last tournament was the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021 - two wins with one defeat and 3-4 places, have not been noted in any remarkable way lately. Within the framework of IEM Winter 2021, valde and the company started with a defeat from Team Liquid with a score of 12-16, and in the second round they achieved the first victory, breaking the resistance of TyLoo on two maps. To get out of the group, the shooters from OG will have to do a small feat, since now NiP is in competition, and if they win, they will have to meet the winner of the Astralis - Team Liquid pair.
Forecast
Ninjas in Pyjamas continue to play mediocre, but in the reported confrontation, I suggest believing that device and teammates will be able to get together and win by going to the final match of the group stage.
