DRX vs Ninjas in Pyjamas: Who will win the sixth game of the VCT Stage-1 Masters Reykjavik?

As per competitive ruling, DRX and Ninjas in Pyjamas will be facing each other in a best-of-three standoff. The team that wins two maps will be seen as the winner of the sixth fixture.

Predictions

On the main stage of the Masters 2022, both teams have shown great performances and have won matches flawlessly. Since both their performances are up to the mark, it is hard to determine which team will come out on top.

However, if both their performances are compared in detail, DRX seems to be at an advantage as they have shown their incredible potential when they were put against ZETA. Ninjas in Pyjamas, on the other hand, have had a close fight against Fnatic, who has one of the most powerful rosters.

If one side has to be chosen, DRX seems to have a better performance and might score 2-1 again NiP. However, that’s only an assumption and the tables might turn as NIP has done wonders previously as well.
