The series was extremely competitive: Legacy won Overpass 13:9, Ninjas in Pyjamas responded with a 13:11 victory on Nuke, after which the Brazilian roster took Ancient in overtime \u2014 16:13.<\/p>\n
As a result, Legacy lead 2:1 in maps won, but the previous matchup showed that there is no big difference between the teams. NiP\u2019s victory on Nuke may be especially important for the new match, as this map remains one of the strongest for the European roster.<\/p>\n
CURRENT FORM<\/strong><\/h2>\nNinjas in Pyjamas \u2014 instability before the tournament start
\nNinjas in Pyjamas approach Esports World Cup with mixed results. The team defeated HEROIC 2:1, Echo 2:0, and 100 Thieves 2:1, but in recent matches lost to magic 0:2 and paiN 0:2. This leaves questions about NiP\u2019s stability ahead of an important Bo1.<\/p>\n
The best individual numbers belong to stavn, who has a 1.14 rating over the last three months. He records 0.76 kills per round, has 73.7% KAST, and 77.7 ADR. Together with Snappi, sjuush, xKacpersky, and n0te, he forms an experienced roster capable of creating problems for Legacy if the right map is chosen.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/G_2WK6TXMAAPMW1-1.jpg\")

\nLegacy are ranked 12th in the world ranking and are ahead of Ninjas in Pyjamas, who are in 27th position. The Brazilians\u2019 recent results are unstable: the team defeated PARIVISION 2:0 and TYLOO 2:0, but lost to G2, Natus Vincere, and MOUZ with 0:2 scores.<\/p>\n
The main individual threat remains latto, who has a 1.25 rating over the last three months. He shows 0.80 kills per round, 75.5% KAST, and 82.7 ADR, surpassing stavn in most key indicators. dumau, n1ssim, arT, and saadz1n will also play a significant role.<\/p>\n
MAP POOL & VETO<\/strong><\/h2>\nStatistics over the last 3 months (Ninjas in Pyjamas | Legacy):<\/p>\n
\n- Cache: \u2014 | \u2014<\/li>\n
- Dust2: \u2014 | 67%<\/li>\n
- Mirage: 44% | 86%<\/li>\n
- Inferno: 60% | 78%<\/li>\n
- Nuke: 79% | 57%<\/li>\n
- Ancient: 47% | 29%<\/li>\n
- Anubis: 40% | \u2014<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Expected veto:<\/p>\n
\n- Ninjas in Pyjamas will logically avoid Mirage. Legacy have won 86% of their matches on this map over the last three months, while NiP have only 44%, so leaving it in a Bo1 would be too risky.<\/li>\n
- Legacy, in turn, should pay special attention to Nuke. NiP have won 79% of their matches on this map across 14 played games, and in the previous head-to-head matchup, it was on Nuke that the Europeans defeated Legacy 13:11.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Likely map:<\/p>\n
\n- Inferno looks like one of the possible compromise options. Ninjas in Pyjamas have a 60% win rate here, while Legacy have 78%, so a small statistical advantage would remain on the Brazilians\u2019 side.<\/li>\n
- Ancient may also make it through the veto. Here, the situation shifts in favor of NiP \u2014 47% against only 29% for Legacy, although it was the Brazilians who won this map in the previous head-to-head series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
KEY DUELS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- stavn vs latto \u2014 the main individual matchup between the most productive players on both teams.<\/li>\n
- xKacpersky vs n1ssim \u2014 a duel that may significantly influence first contacts and the creation of man advantages.<\/li>\n
- sjuush vs dumau \u2014 a rifle matchup, especially important in the middle and closing stages of rounds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
