ESL Pro League goes into its quarterfinal stage where teams either win or get eliminated. Lets see what are the chances for the teams competing on April 7th to to stay in this event — it's Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Liquid coming at 17:00 UTC.

NiP did not play for a long time, but they haven't lost the motivation to keep the snowballing effect either. This time they will play with Love "phzy" Smidebrant again, even though they've previously signed Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin from Fnatic. The star Swede won't be able to play with his team due to being registered for another squad. However, this will probably give phzy even more motivation to prove himself one last time. Previously NiP fell to G2, but were stronger against the rest of the opponents, so 4:1 in the groups stage was recorded. NIP's player line for today is:

  • Plopski; 
  • Rez;
  • Hampus;
  • Es3tag,;
  • Phzy.

With a surprise win over Heroic, Liquid have proven that they are able to stop the European teams. That means, nothing is yet over for the NA's hope, and this confidence boost will surely be a threat for NiP coming into this game. Liquid compete with the mentioned roster.

NIP vs Liquid match prediction

Analysts agree, Liquid are the underdogs, despite their latest results. That win over Heroic was an impressive one, but at the same time the Danes are known for their choking during LAN events. So, this challenge will, arguably, be a tougher one for Liquid. Still, they have all the chances to turn the tides. The odds have this look. 

  • NIP win — 1.73;
  • Liquid win — 2.11;
  • Map total > 2.5 — 1.74;
  • Map total < 2.5 — 2.1.
