NiP vs. Complexity Prediction on July 13, 2023

Match info

In the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 for CS: GO, the Upper Bracket semifinal matchup between Ninjas in Pyjamas and Complexity Gaming will take place on Thursday, July 13, at 6:30 p.m. local time in Copenhagen, Denmark, at an unspecified venue.

Meeting statistics

Despite the move of Jonathan “EliGE“ Jablonowski to the North American side, it continues to be seen unfavorably by any CS: GO mobile betting app. This is especially true because Ninjas in Pyjamas successfully substituted their captain, handing over the previous one to NAVI and retrieving Hampus “hampus“ Poser. Although NiP would’ve been more promising in the prior variant as well, we believe this will only be to the Swedish team’s advantage.

Overall, we don’t think Complexity have much of a chance here. They’ll certainly try to win the championship, but they’ll likely get stopped again and forced to go home empty-handed. Therefore, we’d expect Ninjas in Pyjamas to prevail in this case.

The current form of NiP

The 13th-ranked team in the world performed poorly at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 despite being just one match away from the playoffs, losing to Apeks and fnatic.

The Swedish team also struggled in the indoor qualifying for the ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, finishing just fourth after being unable to handle DomiNation eSports and BIG.

Ninjas in Pyjamas also participated in CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 near the end of the season, but even there they were defeated by the underdogs, Into the Breach and 9INE. Mirage has 87% wins, making it the top NiP’s map. Not to be overlooked is the fact that the Swedish team was absent from the Anubis map.

The current form of Complexity

At the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they only managed to get one chance victory over GamerLegion on the opening day of the competition, the world’s 22nd-ranked team entirely collapsed.

Following their defeat by 9z in ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America, Complexity went on to fail at IEM Dallas 2023. In the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, where they narrowly defeated Astralis but were defeated by Imperial Esports, the North Americans also concluded the season untitled. Overpass gave Complexity the highest scores: 50% wins. They’ve also been absent on the Mirage map for a while.

Match analytics

We don’t have much to say about Complexity, which won’t get much stronger now that “EliGE“ is here. Even more so, we are confident that the North American team would maintain its previous position as it will blow up as a result of distention.

The return of “hampus“ to the Ninjas in Pyjamas lineup, on the other hand, raises some optimism because the Swedish is unquestionably superior to Aleksi “Aleksib“ Virolainen both as a player and a captain. And even without that, NiP appeared to be significantly superior to their competitors so far.

In conclusion, there’s no purpose in trying to find the good sides of Complexity. As a result, in this scenario, we advise placing a wager on a Ninjas in Pyjamas match handicap of -1.5 at odds of 2.42 on Pinnacle.
