Head to Head

HEROIC and Ninjas in Pyjamas last met in the opening round of ESL Pro League Season 20, when Ninjas in Pyjamas won. However, they got awarded a map victory due to one of the players on HEROIC breaking rules.

HEROIC Form

HEROIC lost their opening match of ESL Pro League Season 20 against Ninjas in Pyjamas after they had to forfeit the first map, so that loss doesn’t exactly count. Since that loss, HEROIC edged past Lynn Vision (2-1) but got reverse-swept by Sangal Esports (1-2) with 9-13 and 11-13.

Overall, HEROIC have posted very mixed results, most of which are concerning. That even includes their sole victory against Lynn Vision – which only goes to show what we already know: HEROIC are not in the best shape.

Ninjas in Pyjamas Form

Ninjas in Pyjamas have not done too badly so far at ESL Pro League Season 20. They won against HEROIC in the first round, then showed a brave fight against Natus Vincere (0-2) and even took a map from FaZe Clan (1-2).

While NiP’s record is the same as HEROIC’s, they’ve arguably show more and against stronger opponents. This does not change the fact that NiP have been struggling a lot over the last few months, yet they are unquestionably in better shape than HEROIC heading into this match.

Verdict

HEROIC v Ninjas in Pyjamas

HEROIC arguably should have won their last match with Ninjas in Pyjamas, but that means very little as HEROIC have looked worse since that loss. Ninjas in Pyjamas have not accomplished much more so far this tournament, but they’ve shown some good things.

This looks closer to a 50/50 match than anything else, making Ninjas in Pyjamas as plus money and an excellent pick.
