Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) vs. x6tence Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 6/25

Ninjas in Pyjamas and x6tence are facing in the cs_summit 6 Europe Group C opening match after both teams were invited to participate at this tournament. These rivals have never met before.

The Swedish team NiP (Ninjas in Pyjamas) are coming into this encounter as massive favorites even though they are playing in a hot and cold form at the moment. NiP lost three of the previous five matches and have a 51.9% win rate over the past three months. When it comes to the maps during the same period, NiP are the most successful on Vertigo (75.0% win rate) and Overpass (64.3%), while they have been without a win on Dust2 (0.0%) and were showing weaker displays on Nuke (20.0%).

Their opponent x6tence are not playing well lately as they lost three of the last four matches, including the most recent one to Movistar Riders at the ESL Masters CS:GO Season 7. The Danish side have a 25.0% win rate over the last three months. In that span, x6tence were producing their best displays on Nuke map (100.0%), but are winless on Overpass, Dust2, and Inferno.

Pick: Ninjas in Pyjamas Spread/Handicap -1.5 Maps (-139 @GG.BET)

Team chemistry may hurt x6tence as they have played just four games in the last three months and they never played with the current lineup they are starting in this match, so those five guys will likely have a lot of trouble against the favored NiP in this clash. NiP’s current lineup has more experience and I am backing them to get a win without any issues. Betting on the winner is not attractive because of the low odds, but betting on the Map Handicap is. Feel free to back the Swedes to make it 2-0.
