Match Prediction: NiP - Bad News Eagles | Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 EuropeNIP and Bad News Eagles will meet at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe. How hype is this Kosovar team, which, although it qualified for PGL Major Antwerp 2022, did not beat a single leader. And the Bad News Eagles lost to the Swedes at the same RMR tournament, which clearly shows the difference between the teams.
Form N.I.P.
The seventh team in the world ranking confidently qualified for PGL Major Antwerp 2022, and immediately into the “legends”. You can remember that the Swedes managed to lose to Copenhagen Flames, but at the same time they beat ENCE. In any case, NIP is still building a new game, looking for optimal combinations. However, even in this form, the team looks much more interesting than the opponent.
Latest NIP results:
- Victory over Endpoint with a score of 16:8.

- Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over SINNERS with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:1.

- Nuke - 50% win rate.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
Don't forget that the Swedes haven't played Dust 2 for a long time.
Bad News Eagles Uniform
The 25th team in the world rankings played great at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B in terms of results. I do not hide the merits of the team, which has achieved the impossible. However, it is necessary to soberly assess the game of Bad News Eagles, which did not really play with anyone, but at the same time managed to lose NIP with G2. Therefore, all these victories over SINNERS and ASG should not be praised as if the team had already won a major.
Latest Bad News Eagles results:
- Victory over Entropiq with a score of 19:17.
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 11:16.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 10:16.
- Victory over ASG with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over SINNERS with a score of 2:1.
Best Bad News Eagles cards:
- Ancient - 86% of wins.
- Inferno - 75% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
In turn, Kosovars usually ban the Overpass map.

Prediction for the NIP vs Bad News Eagles match
To be frank, I'm leaning more towards 2-0 for the Swedes than one map from the Bad News Eagles. Moreover, it is quite logical to expect a decline in the Kosovar team, which still needs to recover from the broken tables and chairs. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NIP team with a score of 2:0.
This tournament will be a good opportunity for teams to prepare for the Major. Some sharp struggle in this meeting should not be expected. Still, most of the team's strategies will be reserved for the Major.
And if we take these teams under normal conditions, then the nominal owners still look more preferable against the background of the opponent. But do not forget the fact that the NPCs can not take the Kosovars seriously and give them an advantage.
Based on the foregoing, NIP win 2:0
