Team Liquid will play with Ninjas in Pyjamas in the group stage of IEM Winter 2021. Who will win and advance to the playoffs?
Team Liquid
"Liquid" beat OG 16-12 in the first round, and then lost in the second G2 Esports with a score of 0-2. On the one hand, it seems that in the confrontation with NiKo and the company, the "horses" had no chance of success, since they even lost their peak, but if we start from the quality of the game, then everything is very good, which was proved in the third round, in which Team Liquid closed Astralis on two maps, and here it is worth saying that there are no options: 16-1 on the Nuke, which the Danes peeped, and then 16-10 on the Mirage.
Ninjas in Pyjamas
The players of the Ninjas in Pyjamas team also managed to make fun of Astralis, they only did it on one map, since they met in the first round, and the match was held in the bo1 - 16:8 format on Nyuk. In the second round, the "ninjas" themselves acted as victims, losing 0-2 to Team Vitality. And they lost absolutely on the case, because they could only pick up 15 rounds for two cards. In the third round, Ninjas in Pyjamas won, beating 2-1 OG, but you shouldn't feel much joy from this, since only on the third map they managed to perform confidently - 16:8 on Nyuk, and on the previous two teams in turn won 16:13 - NiP on Inferno, and OG on Einshent.
Forecast
Team Liquid lost only to G2 Esports, and even then in an equal fight, and the guys from Ninjas in Pyjamas easily coped only with Astralis in the first round, and in the next two they suffered more than they played. If the "liquid" get up from that leg, they will take the victory without difficulty.
