NiP and BIG will vie for the right to advance to the final of the FLASHPOINT 3 Lower Bracket. To be honest, none of the teams represented is impressive enough to cheer for the victory. However, I must pay tribute to the Swedes, who show a little more sense in terms of content than the Germans from BIG.
NiP shape
The 14th team in the world ranking has been in the top bracket of the championship for a long time, but everything turned upside down after the meeting with G2. Do you guys seriously want to win matches by attacking the B site four out of five times? But seriously, the Swedes need to work on the composition, because ideologically NiP is doing very badly. One thing only pleases - the team shoots at a high level, adding here excellent preparation for a specific opponent.
Recent results NiP:
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
Best NiP cards:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
It is interesting that the Swedish team has difficulties on other maps. At the same time, NiP has been stubbornly banning Vertigo for some time.
BIG shape
The eighth team in the world ranking has not shown strong Counter Strike for a long time. Not only did the team not win anything big, but at every championship it manages to go crazy. Seriously though, I don’t believe that BIG, losing cards to Apeks and BLINK, will suddenly be able to beat NiP. Even logically, this story is not correlated in any way. In addition, BIG has a lot of other problems associated with the individual performance of individual performers.
Recent BIG results:
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to SAW with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
- Win over Sprout with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over DBL PONEY with a score of 2: 1.
Best BIG cards:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Dust 2 - 69% win rate.
- Mirage - 64% wins.
- Vertigo - 62% wins.
- Train - 50% wins.
Interestingly, the team's situation is terrible with Nuke and Inferno. However, Inferno will definitely go to the ban, while Nuke will have to somehow fight.
NiP - BIG meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- NiP's victory in BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
- BIG's victory at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
However, these matches were played before dev1ce's transition.
Forecast for the match NiP - BIG
I have stated all the main points above. If in terms of numbers the teams' chances are approximately equal, then in terms of play and content, the Swedes have a little more advantage. Yes, maybe NiP hasn't managed to play yet, but in its current form BIG looks very vulnerable.
When it comes to maps, I'm quite ready to see Mirage, Dust 2 and Overpass. In such situations, the advantage is still with the Swedish team, which, with the arrival of the Dane, untied their hands a little. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NiP team.
