Ninjas In Pyjamas vs SK Gaming

IEM Oakland 2017 is coming to an end. We have 2 more semi-final matches and grand finals itself.

Today we have 2 semi-final matches, Faze vs C9 and SK vs NIP.

After my detail analysis, I think that our best betting option for today is on NIP.

We got some pretty good odds, 3,40 @ Bet365. Nip ended up as a first in group A with 12 points while SK barely managed to avoid relegation and they were the third team in the group. Draken and REZ are playing very good in this tournament, they were top fraggers almost every match and I think they should stay on that level tonight and make things harder for SK. Despite the fact that GeT_RiGhT did not play well on this tournament he can always step in, that would not be the first time for him, he is experienced player and when things get complicated he can always make some sick frags and show his quality. Since friberg left NIP did not have any major roster changes while SK had a recent roster change (phelps -> boltz) and this is the first LAN tournament they are playing without phelps. Boltz is a great individual player but he still needs to learn how to play for SK.

Both teams are doing well lately, SK won 3 out of 5 last matches and NIP won 4 out of 5.

Head to head they have played 21 times, SK won 11 times, 1 draw and 9 wins for NIP. This year they played only 1 LAN match and that was in this tournament in the group stage where SK won 16-13 on Cobblestone.

My tip here is a medium bet on NIP, I think we got pretty good odds for 50-50% match and I can't miss this. 6/10

I would bet 30$ on NIP, good luck to those who will follow me.
