ITB vs NIP Preview and Predictions: IEM Cologne 2023
| Tags: CS:GO
| Author The Old One
The second ITB vs NIP encounter of 2023 is going to take place in the opening matches of IEM Cologne 2023
Thanks to their Fall Groups performance, Ninjas in Pyjamas are arriving with a confident look. Into The Breach, on the other hand, have had some of their most disappointing losses recently after the roster change. As a result, the Ninjas are clearly the favorites, but can ITB bring an upset to start their IEM Cologne journey? If you’re into CSGO betting, let’s predict the winner of this Bo1 by their recent performance.
Into The Breach
Into The Breach have not played many games with their latest two additions – NEOFRAG and Bymas. The ones they played ended in disappointing results, especially the 10-16 loss against MB, which is at #124 in the world ranking. These facts are not striking hope as the Europeans are approaching this encounter against Ninjas in Pyjamas.

NIP
After defeating Vitality at the Fall Groups, Ninjas in Pyjamas have enjoyed a decent tournament after months of uneventful journeys. However, they have more to achieve to make 2023 a notable year. Although they are the favorites of this match, Into the Breach can bring upsets, given their past achievements.
