G2 Esports enter the 2022 season with a new AWPer in Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, a new in-game leader in Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, and a new coach in Rémy “XTQZZZ” Quoniam, which forms a very scary roster that should continue where G2 left off last year. But with so many changes – and in such influential positions – it’s fair to ask whether G2 have had enough time to form a strong game plan and synergy.
Complexity are in a similar spot. The Texas-based organisation replaced its entire CS:GO esports roster by signing Michael “Grim” Wince from Team Liquid, Paytyn “junior” Johnson from FURIA, and the former Extra Salt trio in Johnny “JT” Theodosiou, Justin “FaNg” Coakley, and Ricky “floppy” Kemery.
Talent-wise, G2 Esports are miles ahead of Complexity and should be competing for Major titles this year. Still, while G2 have a very high ceiling, we don’t expect them to crush Complexity on Friday.

BIG vs NINJAS IN PYJAMAS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | BIG -116.28 at BetOnline | NiP -113.64 at BetOnline |

Ninjas in Pyjamas are without their star player and in-game leader Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, who is out with an injury and won’t be able to help his side at the opening BLAST event of 2022. In his place, the Swedish CS:GO esports squad will field academy AWPer Love “phzy” Smidebrant.
Without dev1ce, NiP’s chances to make a deep run at BLAST Premier are slim to none, but they should do reasonably well against the German squad. BIG have made only one roster change this offseason, signing Josef “faveN” Baumann from Sprout to replace Nicklas “gade” Gade, who hasn’t delivered since his arrival in July.
On paper, faveN is quite an upgrade from gade, and he also comes into a German-speaking team that fields two of his former teammates in Florian “syrsoN” Rische and Nils “k1to” Gruhne, so he should fit in perfectly. The esports betting sites have BIG and NiP priced very close, which seems fair, but we prefer BIG in this matchup.
BIG to win at -116.28 is a decent bet, but we’ll take the Germans with a -1.5 handicap for a slight odds boost.
