After a strong showing at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022: Challengers Stage, Team Vitality is back for more, and their first target in this second stage of the competition will be the Swedish squad from Ninjas in Pyjamas.
Ninjas in Pyjamas have been a powerhouse even while they miss their AWPer, the legendary Danish player dev1ce. Still, while the team added more firepower to their formula recently by bringing in Brollan to their ranks, they haven't solved their issues with the AWPer role. Any team aiming for the top needs a strong sniper, and NiP lacks one.
Team Vitality in the other hand is looking miles better than they did for the better part of the year. Not only dupreeh has once more found his confident and smart style of play but Team Vitality's signature star, ZywOo, is back bringing the heat with the big green gun.
As good as NiP might be, lacking a top tier AWPer hurts their chances and gives them a major disadvantage against Vitality. Hence, a bet on the latter is recommended.
