NIP vs 9INE Preview and Predictions: CCT Online Finals #1

An ancient name in EU CSGO meets one of its newest growing powerhouses in NIP vs 9INE


Ninjas in Pyjamas and 9INE were both under the spotlight going into the BLAST.tv Paris Major, but both teams failed to deliver on what was expected of them. Now going into the first of CCT’s Online Finals, they are going head-to-head in the Lower Bracket after having lost games up above. If you’re fond of CSGO betting or just want to know more about this matchup, here’s our preview.

NIP

Every time an NIP lineup looks like it’s going to achieve something, something seems to go wrong. Following their disappointment in Paris, NIP took a convincing win in the first round of the Upper Bracket of this tournament before losing 2-1 to British powerhouse Into The Breach. Now their only way forward is past a similarly-struggling 9INE lineup.

9INE

The Polish side had analysts frothing with their aggressive style and in-your-face gameplay in the Major RMRs, but since squandering their Legends Stage berth, they are now in a state of ignominy with no real respite in sight. Their defeat to Sharks Esports at this tournament hasn’t helped. In their last match, however, they dealt with Astralis Talent convincingly.
