NiP and fnatic will argue for the right to stay at IEM Summer 2021. Interesting derby considering the difficulties of both teams at the start of the championship. However, it seems that fnatic has no chance of a positive outcome, since the team has long compromised itself.
NiP shape
The tenth team in the world rankings took second place in the last FLASHPOINT 3, and overall had an excellent championship. However, the Swedes decided to make line-up changes, inviting LNZ to replace ztr. With yet another rookie, NiP got off to a bad start at IEM Summer 2021, failing Mirage with OG. And all would be fine, but almost every player looked weak, obviously not playing out in the episodes.
Recent results NiP:
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat to OG with a score of 9:16.
Best NiP cards:
- Overpass - 86% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
On other maps, the Swedish team still has difficulties. At the same time, do not forget that the team has not played Vertigo for a long time, which forces Ancient to train.
Fnatic form
The 29th team in the world ranking continues to free fall to the very bottom, showing a terrible game. Needless to say about the last place in the recent FLASHPOINT 3? At the same time, the team also failed at Spring Sweet Spring 2, from where they left after the quarterfinals. But at the start of IEM Summer 2021, the Swedes did not show anything, losing to Virtus.pro. Moreover, fnatic could have bounced off with a crushing score, without a small comeback in the second half.
Recent fnatic results:
- Defeat from EPG Family with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat from Complexity with a score of 0: 2.
- Lost to Fiend with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 10:16.
It is generally better not to touch the cards, because wherever you look, there is a mess everywhere. And if the team has not played Nuke for a long time, then with Dust 2 and Overpass they will have to do something already in the course of the series.
Meetings statistics NiP - fnatic
During the last season, the teams held three meetings:
- Fnatic wins at cs_summit 6 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
- Fnatic's victory at ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
- NiP wins DreamHack Open Fall 2020 with a score of 2: 1.
However, now it is hardly possible to believe that fnatic is stronger than NiP.
Forecast for the match NiP - fnatic
What must happen for fnatic to transform itself and be able to compete with compatriots? Personally, I do not see a single chance for a team that is on the verge of a global restructuring. In turn, NiP needs to quickly forget Mirage versus OG, as the team showed an excellent game a week ago. However, the selection of cards speaks in favor of device and the company, which can safely multiply the talent on Mirage, Dust 2 and Inferno. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NiP team with the score 2: 0.
