Edward Gaming 26.5%·Ninjas In Pyjamas.cn 73.5%

TL;DR: EDward Gaming 26.5% vs Ninjas in Pyjamas.CN 73.5%. Ninjas in Pyjamas.CN are clear favorites because their 9.0/10 early-game score and five-series winning streak contrast sharply with EDward Gaming’s 1.3/10 early-game rating and recurring deficits before 15 minutes. EDward Gaming need an unusually clean draft and a carry performance from BuLLDoG to overturn the trend.

Ninjas in Pyjamas.CN arrive in fifth place at 19W-12L (61.3%), having won their past five series against opponents including Invictus Gaming, LNG Esports, and Weibo Gaming. EDward Gaming sit 11th at 10W-19L (34.5%) and are 2W-3L across their last five series. The supplied report does not include a direct head-to-head record, so current form makes the clearest case: NIP are consistently converting leads, while EDG have been unable to stabilize after difficult openings.

The early-game numbers explain the gap. NIP average a +5,817 total gold difference, 16.7 kills for, and 11.0 against, compared with EDG’s -3,695, 12.1, and 17.5. Care holds a +579 gold difference at 15 minutes, while BuLLDoG still provides EDG’s best lane-based route in at +412. Bot lane is another pressure point: Leave is at -528 at 15 minutes, whereas NIP can lean on a more stable map before their carries take over.

Draft could give EDG a narrow route back. Orianna carries 84.3% presence and a 69.3% ban rate, making her an expected priority ban, while Gnar is a compelling B1 option after 100% WR in 3G. EDG may also target the patch surge around K'Sante, whose WR rose from 46.7% to 88.9% in 18G, but they must avoid giving NIP easy engage through Jarvan IV or scaling through Rumble.

Polymarket makes Ninjas in Pyjamas.CN 73.5% favorites, leaving EDward Gaming at 26.5%. That real-money market view matches NIP’s perfect recent series run, their +5,817 average gold edge, and EDG’s -3,695 average deficit; it reflects both the stronger baseline and the more reliable early-game execution.

EDward Gaming 26.5% vs Ninjas in Pyjamas.CN 73.5% because NIP’s form, early gold control, and draft leverage give them far more dependable BO5 paths.
