Group Stage matches of IEM Dallas go on, with the next meetup of 2 Group B sides C9 and NIP. Betting tips and team forms are discussed below.

C9 had a surprise loss in the match against FURIA. They could not do anything to counter the ultra-argessive Brazilians over 2 different maps. Seems like ex-Gambit players are not used to play under the new flag. Still, it is the same team that seemed like the only real opponent to NAVI for the whole duration of 2021, so it's too early to count them out. C9's roster is the same:

  • H0bbit;
  • interz;
  • Ax1le;
  • sh1ro;
  • nafany.

After losing to BIG on the opening day, NIP restored their focus and easily defeated Complexity. Brollan's presence plays a huge role in the team, but we need to also give credit to ztr, replacing hampus, and es3tag. Full roster competing today is this:

  • es3tag;
  • REZ;
  • ztr;
  • Brollan;
  • Plopski.

C9 vs NIP

Despite how poor the C9 form is now, bookmakers still believe in the Russian roster more. But it is not safe to pick a clean victory of C9, as NIP are looking great despite lacking their captain. Finally, the odds are:

  • C9 win — 1.52;
  • NIP win — 2.52;
  • Map total > 2.5 — 1.97;
  • Map total < 2.5 — 1․79․
