Ninjas in Pyjamas and Astralis will meet in one of the matches of the 1/4 finals of the lower grid of BLAST Premier World Final 2021. Who will stay in the tournament?
Ninjas in Pyjamas
At IEM Winter 2021, "ninja" took second place, losing in the grand final to Team Vitality with a score of 0-3, and at BLAST Premier World Final 2021 they started with a defeat from G2 Esports with a score of 1-2. As expected, the match turned out to be equal and was not limited to two cards. At first, Ninjas in Pyjamas took their peak, winning 16-11 on Nuke, then with a mirror score they lost on Dast 2, and on the decider, which was Inferno, they lost 14-16.
Astralis
The Danes also started their performance at the BLAST Premier World Final 2021 with defeat, having no chance in the confrontation with Team Vitality. With their card, the arrows from Astralis took the Nuke, and were defeated with a score of 4-16. We managed to perform a little better on the opponent's map, on the Mirage, but the result was also deplorable - 6:16. With the current level of play, it will be difficult for the Danes to count on high places, since after the shot at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, where third place was taken, they play poorly.
Forecast
Ninjas in Pyjamas were added at the end of the year, and the Danish team, on the contrary, plays disgusting, mostly losing, and often with a large score. In this confrontation, the "ninjas" should win, maybe on two cards.
