Heroic and Ninjas in Pajamas will meet in the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2022. Something didn't work out for the Swedish team, although it shot at the RMR tournament and showed signs of life.
However, further Ninjas in Pajamas failed at the major, where it did not get a single victory at all. As for the Danes, on the contrary, they reached the finals of IEM Rio Major 2022, even if they lost it.
But in general, Heroic plays well for a month. Moreover, it is clear that the team found its game, trying to maneuver between a strict default and ambiguous decisions. Well, plus cadiaN reached the peak of his form, although this point can still be argued.
Therefore, it is obvious that in this series there is no point in looking towards Ninjas in Pajamas.
Form Heroic
The second team in the world ranking managed to become the winner of BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, for which they qualified for BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2022.
Then the Danish team took part in IEM Rio Major 2022, where they showed an excellent game in Legends, even though they managed to lose to Cloud9. Nevertheless, Heroic performed quite holistically, for which it made it to the grand final.
Another point is that the Danes were not psychologically enough for the final, where they frankly swam. But still there is a feeling that the team will not stop and by inertia will roll to the end of the season.
Heroic's latest results:
- Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.
- The victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:1.
- Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 0:2.
Best Heroic Maps:
- Nuke - 100% win rate.
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Inferno - 67% of wins.
- Vertigo - 56% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
Let's not forget that the Danish team has long abandoned the Dust 2 map.
Uniform Ninjas in Pajamas
The fifteenth team of the world ranking shot at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, where they did not suffer a single defeat, but at the same time took second place.
Then the Swedes took part in the local Svenska Cupen 2022, where they knocked everyone out without a chance. In general, nothing foreshadowed trouble, but the team found a loophole.
Well, at the IEM Rio Major 2022 itself, Ninjas in Pajamas was a complete failure, because there the team not only suffered three unanswered defeats, but also failed to cope with Sprout. And there is no certainty that in two weeks something has changed for the better.
Latest Ninjas in Pajamas results:
- Victory over Lilmix with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over EYEBALLERS with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to fnatic with a score of 13:16.

Notably, Ninjas in Pajamas is also ditching the Dust 2 map.
Heroic vs Ninjas in Pajamas match statistics
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Ninjas in Pajamas win at IEM Cologne 2022 with a score of 2:0.
- The victory of Ninjas in Pajamas at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 with a score of 2:1.
However, at that time the Swedish team was still playing without Aleksib.
Heroic vs Ninjas in Pajamas Prediction
There are very big doubts about the Swedish team, which, it seems to me, has already prepared to end the season and change its composition again.
In turn, Heroic has been showing a good game for a month now, which not only looks good, but also gives some kind of result. In this regard, it makes no sense to look at the statistics of meetings, which surprisingly speaks in favor of Ninjas in Pajamas.
And yet, for me, the Danes must win, because many facts speak for them. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Heroic team.
