Tuesday’s clash is expected to be a competitive one, with NiP slightly favoured following a solid showing in the last two Stake Ranked events.
M80, on the other hand, have found success in their competitive endeavours this season, but mostly in regional events, while their performances in bigger, international competitions were often ended with early eliminations.
As the more proven of the two teams, NiP are expected to shine, but success is far from guaranteed.
- Ninjas in Pyjamas are in solid shape
- M80’s success is limited mainly to regional, North American competitions
- A competitive game is not out of the question

M80 With More to Prove
M80 enter BLAST Bounty Summer after successfully fighting through the North American BLAST Open Fall qualifiers, where they’ve not faced much resistance. It was a nice bounce-back from their early (20th-22nd) elimination form Intel Extreme Masters Cologne, and another solid showing after M80’s title run at ESL Challenger League S51: NA.
M80 have featured in a few international tournaments this season, but never made it very far. Most of their accomplishments have been limited to lesser online regional tournaments, but when faced with stronger, European teams, M80 have often fallen apart.
With those results, it is hard to be overly optimistic about M80 and their chances of making a deep run in BLAST Bounty Summer. On the other hand, this is a capable lineup and not complete pushovers.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |

| July 12 | BLAST Open Fall NA Qualifier | Voca | 2-0 (W) |
| July 11 | BLAST Open Fall NA Qualifier | LAG | 2-0 (W) |
| July 9 | BLAST Open Fall NA Qualifier | WINNERS | 2-0 (W) |

Ninjas in Pyjamas Have Some Momentum
Ninjas in Pyjamas have recently placed third in Stake Ranked Episode, failing to defend their title from May.
Regardless, it was not a terrible showing from Snappi and his crew, though the defeats against K27 and HEROIC raise questions about how consistently NiP can deliver when faced with equal or slightly weaker opponents.
Consistency hasn’t been NiP’s strong suit this season, nor have they won any notable tournaments. Besides Stake Ranked Episode 2, their only other titles came from the Roman Imperium Cup in March and the RES Showdown Spring in February.
Capable roster on paper, but NiP have to show more.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 18 | Stake Ranked Episode 3 | K27 | 1-2 (L) |
| July 17 | Stake Ranked Episode 3 | HEROIC | 1-2 (L) |
| July 16 | Stake Ranked Episode 3 | Gentle Mates | 2-0 (W) |
| July 15 | Stake Ranked Episode 3 | K27 | 2-0 (W) |
| July 9 | RES Showdown EU Fall 2026 | Virtus.pro | 1-2 (L) |
Ninjas in Pyjamas Squad & Team News
Ninjas in Pyjamas haven’t announced any changes.
- Rasmus "sjuush" Beck

- Kacper "xKacpersky" Gabara
- Martin "stavn" Lund
- Roman "n0te" Hamze – stand-in
Verdict
There is not much to separate M80 and Ninjas in Pyjamas quality-wise. NiP have an advantage of playing in Europe, where the level of competition is higher than in North America.
But looking at their accomplishments, NiP have hardly outperformed M80 and have lost games against teams weaker than M80 not too long ago.
This has a competitive game written all over it.
