Fnatic have started on a long-overdue roster overhaul, which began with the departure of William “mezii” Merriman and continued over the weekend with Fredrik “roeJ” R?j Christensen leaving. This leaves Fnatic with only three active players, but according to reports, the team is close to signing Hampus “hampus” Poser and Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin.
Team Spirit have not made any roster changes in recent months, and they don’t have to. The Russian squad have looked solid since the start of October, with a runner-up finish at CCT North Europe Series #8 and a quarterfinal appearance at Thunderpick World Championship 2023; however, they’ve proven a bit shaky when faced with tougher opponents.
Considering they have a stable roster and seem to do fine on Counter-Strike 2, Team Spirit are rightly priced as favourites, but $1.50 is a bit too short. Even though there are questions about Fnatic’s lineup, they don’t need star players to match Spirit’s roster.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs MIBR CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | NiP $1.58 at GG Bet | MiBR $2.36 at GG Bet |

Ninjas in Pyjamas have finalised their new lineup, with Patrick “es3tag” Hansen and Alejandro “ALEX” Masanet taking over for Hampus “hampus” Poser and Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin. Even though the new signings don’t look like massive upgrades, changes were needed.
Ninjas in Pyjamas have struggled over the last couple of months and haven’t left much of a mark in any tournament they’ve attended, with early exits from Thunderpick World Championship 2023 (13th-16th) and Roobet Cup 2023 (9th-12th). So, while it’s unclear how NiP’s new roster will do, things can really only go up from here.
Unlike many other teams, MiBR haven’t made any roster changes recently. The Brazilian squad claimed silver from CCT Online Finals #3 at the end of September and won XL Games 2023 a month later. Since then, they’ve only played four games, winning three.
Even though MiBR are in good form, they’ve only beaten weaker teams. Winning against NiP, as weak as they may be now, won’t come as easy.
