Team WE vs Ninjas in Pyjamas Betting Tips – Clash of LPL Group Perseverance Top Dogs
Team WE is set to face off against Ninjas in Pyjamas in the second week of the LPL 2026 Split 1. Although Team WE recently defeated NiP in the Demacia Cup, they have shown vulnerabilities early in their games. Conversely, NiP recruited veteran players for this season, presenting a potentially mid-level performance as seen in their win over EDG. Despite a 2-0 record, Team WE’s early-game struggles hint that NiP might exploit these weaknesses, making Team WE less reliable as the favorites.

While both have the tools to win the group, Team WE have looked crisper early in the split, but with a very small sample size, it is hard to make any firm conclusions.

Team WE Struggle in the Early Game
Team WE kicked off the new season with a 2-0 sweep of EDward Gaming, to which they added another sweep of ThunderTalk Gaming on Monday.
The first game against EDG was somewhat close early, and Team WE had to fight from behind on the second map to win. While they proved to be the better team, the overall showing was slightly underwhelming.
The second game, against TT Gaming, played out similarly. ThunderTalk took an early lead in game two but threw it all away. As it seems, Team WE are the same team they were in 2025 – they are hit-or-miss early, and if things don't go their way, WE can easily slip against anyone.
Team WE Squad & Team News
No new changes for Team WE roster.
- Dai "Cube" Yi – top lane
- Wang "Monki" Mengqi – jungle
- Kim "Karis" Hong-jo – mid lane
- Moon "About" Hyeong-seok – ADC

Ninjas in Pyjamas Have More to Show
Ninjas in Pyjamas made their debut on Monday, when they edged past EDward Gaming. NiP built an interesting roster for the 2026 season, featuring many veteran players, but it hasn't worked out yet.
However, quality-wise, they appear to be more of a mid-table squad, which was somewhat proven in their win over EDG.
It was a sloppy series from wire to wire, with NiP eventually edging out a win. Not a particularly memorable performance from either team.
Ninjas in Pyjamas Squad & Team News
NiP entered the 2026 season with a fresh roster.
- Zhou "Alley" Yu – top lane
- Yoon "Hoya" Yong-ho – top lane
- Gu "Guwon" Kwan-mo – jungle
- Yang "Care" Jie – mid lane
- Zou "Assum" Wei – ADC
- Wang "Zhuo" Xuzhuo – support
Verdict
Ninjas in Pyjamas haven't had the most memorable LPL 2026 debut against EDward Gaming, producing a very sloppy victory. Meanwhile, Team WE have won their last two outings, but in both they showed weaknesses early.
While they managed to come out ahead even when WE were trailing, they have shown cracks in their early game, which Ninjas in Pyjamas can exploit.
Despite their 2-0 record, Team WE do not appear like a good bet as favourites and will not be one unless they improve their pre-20-minute performances.
