After eliminating Ninjas in Pyjamas in a dramatic three-map series at Roman Imperium Cup V, the North American organization secured a playoff berth \u2014 and suddenly, talk of a potential Major qualification is back on the table.

In the opening best-of-one, NiP demolished them 13\u20132 on Nuke, raising immediate concerns about the team\u2019s LAN readiness. However, the group quickly turned dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>NiP fell to Monte, who locked in a playoff spot, while 100 Thieves bounced back by eliminating BESTIA to stay alive. That set up a high-stakes rematch against the Swedes \u2014 this time in a best-of-three series for survival. The decider on Ancient went to overtime, where 100 Thieves finally closed it out 16\u201312 to win the series 2\u20131:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Dust2 \u2014 13:7 (100T)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Nuke \u2014 9:13 (NiP)<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Ancient \u2014 16:12 (OT)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>William \u201csirah\u201d Kj\u00e6rsgaard (1.22 rating) and Andr\u00e9 \u201cAg1l\u201d Gil (1.20) led the charge, while NiP exited the tournament in a shock group-stage elimination.

But it\u2019s a very narrow road.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that it would require around 10 additional LAN wins, including victories over teams like BetBoom, HOTU, Gentle Mates, HEROIC and FlyQuest. The upcoming quarter-final against BetBoom is particularly crucial \u2014 reportedly worth around 200 VRS points, with additional prize-money weight amplifying its impact under the VRS system.<\/p>\n<h3>Community divided: hype vs reality<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HBnKPnlW0AAHmXI?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Image\"><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is convinced.
