StarSeries IX: NiP vs. Titan
LAN
My analysis for this match:
Player Analysis :
NiP : GeT_RiGhT and fifflaren have not being playing as well as suspected but i am sure that GeT_RiGhT will sharpen up and start hitting those shots for this match and fifflaren will follow. Friberg is on top form, recently top fragging regularly for the swedish side. f0rest is also playing extremely well, the newer strats shown by NiP have been excecuted perfectly by him and he is inevitably feeling comfortable after CPH Games. Xizt is playing a very good game at the moment, when he gets momentum, or an autosniper, he can get very essential picks especially on Terrorist side. The confidence on the NiP side since the win at CPH games has given NiP good momentum to go forward as shown through the good win against VP today.
Titan : Ex6TenZ is hitting very shots consistently and is playing very well at the moment, SmithZz is playing outstandingly, and is not letting the new addition to the team outshine him with the AWP, with a double AWP setup, on either CT or T side, Titan have proved to be deadly. Not forgetting the fact that SmithZz is also playing amazingly with rifles. NBK has stepped up to the plate and is getting frags at ease, i am liking the way he is taking the sites and getting the entryfrags more now. ScreaM has shown he can play out of his mind when needed, he has been top-fragging and doing so with ease. ScreaM's aim and map sense has been amazing as of late and even with shox gone he is stepping up. Now, bear in mind kennyS is a new addition and we haven't seen that much of him yet, i think that people are focusing on the fact that he is seen as worse than shox, when in fact, kennyS is a capable rifler and outstanding AWPer. We have seen him top-fragging in the match against VP and he appears to be playing like he never left from VeryGames. The communication seems amazing and this new lineup is working well latley. People need to remember that kennyS played in this roster before VeryGames changed their name to Titan, so they have good history and know how to play together.
Map Analysis
Dust 2 : Titan has a very good history on this map and with the new double awp setup this could go Titans way. During this tournament NiP have beaten VP 16:12 on Dust 2 and lost to Na'Vi on Dust 2 3:16. Whereas Titan beat VP 16:10 on Dust 2. Na'Vi also beat Titan 16:9 on this map recently. I think this map will go Titans way because they are good with the new setup and NiP is shaky as of late. DO not forget this is a momentum based map.
Inferno : With ScreaM playing amazing lately it should be an easier T side for Titan than normal. NiP have aslo got a consistently good setup but i feel this could easily go either way because of the inconsistent results on this map by the 2 teams.
Nuke As we all know, NiP are historically amazing on this map and i think that unless kennyS pulls something good out of the bag of tricks then it is going to be hard for Titan to win against a strong practiced NiP side. I wouldn't put it past Titan to upset on this map though considering the stability of the Titan players.
Train I fell like NiP have a much better CT than Titan on this map, and although recently NiP haven't been doing well on this map, Titan aren't regular players of this map. If this map is played then i would give it to NiP unless Titan pull together, but most likely Titan will ban it.
Mirage NiP relies on GeT_RiGhT and fifflaren on this map quite heavily (there is even a spot named after GeT_RiGhT), and because of their recent performance i don't think they can contest the likes of kennyS or Ex6TenZ. About 90% sure this is Titans Map, but NiP might want to ban it. Titan beat VP on mirage 19:17 and lost to Na'Vi 16:11
I doubt either of the teams will play
cache because the teams would just ban it if they new another team was good on it. I am not saying that either GeT_RiGhT or fifflaren are bad, but their recent performance shows flaws in their play. I would think that the maps going to be played are Dust 2, Inferno and either Nuke or Mirage.

My bet is on Titan because i feel like they have better chances when looking at the reasons + the odds are in favour of them. My medium/large bet :
