NiP and Fnatic will meet in the upper bracket quarter-final of the cs_summit 6 Europe, and there is no favorite in this encounter. The winner will face GODSENT or BIG in the upper semi-finals. These rivals have met on three occasions, and Fnatic leads the series 2-1.

The Swedish team NiP lost one map in two wins at this tournament as they beat a pair of Danish opponents – x6tence and Heroic.

Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+102 @GG.BET)

Fnatic won two of the three H2H meetings, while all three produced a maximum of three maps. I expect to see another tight battle, and it seems that betting on the winner is not a good option in this matchup. I am going with the betting trends and the over as I cannot separate the sides at the moment.
