Dignitas and Young Ninjas will compete for the right to qualify for the semifinals of LOOT.BET Season 9. We can say that this is a derby of generations of Swedish players. And in this situation, Young Ninjas can give the elderly a reason to rethink their careers.
Dignitas Form
The 24th team in the world ranking tried to surprise everyone a month ago. Then the team beat Liquid and Evil Geniuses at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021 and FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe Final, respectively. However, all this is dust, as the team then failed both championships, going home. But we are interested in the latest results, namely the failure of Dignitas in qualifying for FLASHPOINT 3. The team not only failed to get to the tournament, but also caught two defeats in four games, showing well too sleepy CS.
Recent results Dignitas:
- Defeat from HAVU with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over DBL PONEY with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Anonymo with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over AGO with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Sprout with a score of 1: 2.
Best Dignitas cards:
- Nuke - 81% win.
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
It is interesting that the team does not play on Mirage - the best map among the youngsters. Overall, however, the current condition of Dignitas leaves much to be desired.
Young Ninjas uniform
The 42nd team of the world ranking is holding a tournament of "life", otherwise it is impossible to describe such a confident CS in the performance of the young. Let's start with the fact that within LOOT.BET Season 9 the team lost only once - 0: 2 from LDLC. However, the Swedes managed not only to reach the playoffs, but also to close Movistar Riders dry in the first round. Yes, things are not so smooth for Young Ninjas in other championships. But the playing conditions of the young are now amazing.
Recent Young Ninjas results:
- Victory over Copenhagen Flames with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over NAVI Junior with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to SAW with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over KOVA with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2: 0.
Best Young Ninjas cards:
- Mirage - 68% wins.
- Inferno - 61% wins.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
Interestingly, we will skip Dust 2 in this episode. However, according to dry numbers, young Swedes can impose a fight on the veterans of the scene.

Prediction for the match Dignitas - Young Ninjas
Personally, I tend to favor the young team, which so far only surprises. At the same time, we see that Dignitas is not in the best shape, showing not quite a confident game. In addition, I would like to highlight a few main points:
- Young Ninjas has been performing well in recent games.
- The young team has several strong cards, which have a slight advantage over the rival.
Therefore, I propose to bet 2.5 more on Total on Cards. I will explain this by the fact that Young Ninjas may lose, but on one of their two strong maps, the team is able to slam Dignitas.
