Astralis vs Ninjas In Pyjamas

NiP bans Vertigo

Astralis bans Mirage (as always)

NiP picks Train

Astralis picks Nuke

NiP bans Inferno

Astralis bans Overpass

Dust2 left over

The second bans are where things get ambiguous. Astralis has shown they're strong on Dust2 against Vitality but it's only one game played and I think their A hold on CT is too weak. NiP can easily exploit that.

NiP previously won Inferno against OG despite being the latter's map pick but it was such a brawl, going into OT. Nobody has seen this Astralis' Inferno yet but it was THE pick of the original squad so I don't think NiP would want to risk this.

Overpass... it could be NiP's pick because they're strong on it but once again, the former Astralis roster was good on this map. Not to mention that Astralis nearly won that map with Jugi and Snappi the last time these two met. I don't think NiP will risk it. Astralis would ban it because NiP are strong on it.

Should be a good fight. If Astralis wins Train it's a 2-0. 2-1 if they don't.
