Weibo Gaming and Ninjas in Pyjamas will clash in the second round of LPL Split 3 Group Nirvana on July 30. NiP started the season with a one-sided win over LNG Esports, while WBG lost to Invictus Gaming despite a strong showing from IG’s TheShy. WBG remain favorites due to roster quality, but concerns over their new support persist. NiP's breakout game against a weak opponent leaves questions. Expect a competitive match, but Weibo Gaming’s superior lineup gives them a clear predictive edge.

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Weibo Gaming Betting Predictions


Ninjas in Pyjamas and Weibo Gaming will face off on Thursday, July 30, in the second week of League of Legends Pro League 2026 Split 3, in the second round of Group Nirvana.

Ninjas in Pyjamas kicked off LPL Split 3 with a dominant victory against LNG Esports, while Weibo Gaming got reverse-swept by Invictus Gaming. Those results, however, prove nothing, as LNG played terribly, and Weibo Gaming’s defeat on the day was purely a byproduct of TheShy’s carry performance.

So early into the season, it is hard to pick out a clear favourite, but it is fair to go off raw quality of the rosters and the continuity they have. From that angle, Weibo Gaming appear stronger.

  • Weibo Gaming started the split with a loss
  • Ninjas in Pyjamas with more to show following a 2-0 sweep of LNG
  • WBG are expected to win

Weibo Gaming Have More to Show


Weibo Gaming started LPL Split 3 with a 0-2 loss against Invictus Gaming. It was an interesting game, with Weibo kicking it off with a dominant victory on map one, before they got run over on the next two – largely thanks to the carry performances from IG’s TheShy.

With just one game under their belts, Weibo Gaming are hard to rank. They are not terrible, but far from great, and only time will tell how well they’ll do in Group Nirvana.

One thing to note is that Weibo Gaming’s support player change could work against them, as Jwei does not appear to be very effective in the current roam-heavy meta. He struggled against IG, and until Jwei proves he can change up his playstyle, Weibo Gaming’s bottom lane will not reach their full potential.

On a more positive note, WBG have solid players in all positions and, at least on paper, look like one of the top-two teams in Group Nirvana.

Weibo Gaming Squad & Team News


Weibo Gaming have signed Jwei as a new support ahead of Split 3.

  • Tang "Zika" Huayu – top lane
  • Zhao "Jiejie" Lijie – jungle
  • Li "Xiaohu" Yuanhao – mid lane
  • Zhao "Elk" Jiahao – ADC
  • Sun "Jwei" Junwei – support

Ninjas in Pyjamas Appear Decent


Ninjas in Pyjamas have brought in a new bottom lane duo for LPL Split 3, and they managed to find some early success, beating LNG Esports 2-0 on Sunday.

It was a very one-sided game, and a dominant display from NiP, especially Care, who posted a 9/9/12 K/D/A, and Photic, who ended the series with 9/2/15. However, as impressive as that victory was, LNG Esports have made it very easy for Ninjas in Pyjamas to appear strong.

It is more than fair to say that LNG underperformed and they did not properly test Ninjas in Pyjamas. They got their first win of the split, but NiP are still unproven.

NiP have acquired Photic and Fengyue as a new bot lane for Split 3.

  • Zhou "Alley" Yu – top lane
  • Yoon "Hoya" Yong-ho – top lane
  • Gu "Guwon" Kwan-mo – jungle
  • Yang "Care" Jie – mid lane

  • Wang "Fengyue" Runlai – support

Verdict

Weibo Gaming lost their first game of the split, and Ninjas in Pyjamas won theirs. This, however, proves nothing, as Weibo Gaming had to play a significantly stronger opponent.

There are some concerns with WBG’s bottom lane, but on paper, they field a much better roster than Ninjas in Pyjamas, who remain an enigma. This will be NiP’s first proper test of the split, and if we go purely off the individual quality, they are not going to have a fun time.
