B8 are priced as 1.55 favourites at Stake to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas, who will enter the series as 2.40 underdogs. This significant price difference can be explained by NiP's poor form and recent roster changes; however, it is not like B8 are a very consistent team.

  • B8 are in solid form
  • Ninjas in Pyjamas have recently made roster changes
  • Ninjas in Pyjamas (#36) are worse ranked than B8 (#28) 

Head to Head


This will be the first-ever clash between B8 and Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Ninjas in Pyjamas Form


Ninjas in Pyjamas made some roster changes in September following a long streak of disappointing results. Yet while NiP needed to switch things up, the changes came only in the addition of a new in-game leader Gareth "MisteM" Ries and Daniel "sprayxd" Kogan as an assistant coach.

With the new in-game leader, Ninjas in Pyjamas have played just one series during CCT Season 2 European Series #13 and lost to ECSTATIC in two maps. While not the most promising debut for MisteM, things can only go up from here.

With that loss, NiP are 1-9 from their last ten, albeit three of the last five losses came against Natus Vincere, FaZe Clan, and HEROIC at ESL Pro League Season 20, which NiP can be forgiven for. That is especially considering they took a map from FaZe and HEROIC.

B8 Form


B8 have done well this season. They've reached their peak ranking on the global Counter-Strike ladder at no.28, thanks to their strong showings in the recent tournaments.

B8 won CCT Season 2 European Series #10 at the start of September and have since placed fifth-eighth at CCT Season 2 European Series #12 and Series #13. While a bit below the expectations for this team, given their past success, B8 are still in great form, with just two losses over their last ten series.

Over that stretch, B8 have beaten OG, SAW, Illuminar Gaming,3DMAX, and ALTERNATE aTTaX, while their only two defeats came against GamerLegion.

B8 Squad & Team News


No roster changes for B8.

  • Arsenyj "cptkurtka023" Derevynskyj
  • Andrij "npl" Kukharsjkyj
  • Dmytro "esenthial" Tsvir
  • Danyyl "headtr1ck" Valitov
  • Aleksei "alex666" Yarmoshchuk

Verdict

On paper, Ninjas in Pyjamas should be able to deal with B8, but they are in bad form and have recently made roster changes, which is not optimal. On the other hand, B8 are in great form with eight wins from their last ten outings, and they have, over that stretch, beaten teams as strong or stronger than NiP.

However, at 1.55, it is hard to justify backing B8 to win a best-of-one series. While a stronger team, B8 are still somewhat inconsistent, not to mention that NiP have had their moments against stronger opponents of late.
