Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) vs. Heroic Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 6/27

The Ninjas in Pyjamas and Heroic will face each other in the Group C winners’ match at the cs_summit 6. The cs_summit 6 is an online CS:GO tournament featuring the best European teams competing for a $125,000 prize pool. Teams are also competing for the valuable Regional Major Ranking points, which will contribute to a team’s chances of receiving an invitation to the ESL One Rio Major in November.

The 13th ranked Ninjas in Pyjamas has climbed up the CS:GO rankings thanks to the young firepower on the squad. Players like Twist and REZ have led the charge for the team. These two players have almost always been at the top of the scoreboard. However, one of the crucial members of the NiP squad is THREAT, the team’s coach. THREAT’s influence on the Swedish players (then a different roster) was evident when NiP’s 2016 roster rose to the top three ranks in CS:GO. With new and relatively inexperienced players, THREAT could implement his system and it has worked wonders so far for the team.

The 24th ranked Heroic features a Danish lineup. The team has been on a winning streak lately with their 1-2 loss to Virtus.Pro being the only loss for the team in the last five matches. The team’s map pool shows Inferno, Nuke and Train as their comfort picks. Heroic also plays Vertigo regularly, and it will be interesting to see if they veto this map in this match. NiP is one of the best Vertigo teams in the scene.

Pick: Ninjas in Pyjamas ML (-170 @ Bovada)

NiP might not have a wide map pool, but they are dominant on its comfort map picks. I am going with NiP to continue its dominant form and defeat Heroic in the Group C winners match.
