While the current NiP is indistinguishable from the beloved Swedish teams of old, the organization is on a hot streak right now. Whether it’s posting deep runs in regional leagues or hitting above its weight class in LANs, the team looks ready for invites to bigger tournaments. It’s in a good position to get some, but really needs to reach the grand finals of StarSeries Fall 2025 in order to
Esports betting tip: Ninjas in Pyjamas seems to be a cut above every non-NAVI team in StarSeries Fall 2025.
My Ninjas in Pyjamas vs B8 pick: Ninjas in Pyjamas wins 2-1 (3.32 at GG.BET)
Once upon a time, a baseball player of old was called up to the major leagues and surprised coaches and local media alike by hitting markedly better than he did in the minor leagues. When asked why this was the case, he effectively responded that hitting in the major leagues was easier because the pitchers there actually knew how to pitch.
Baseball and Counter-Strike are obviously very different, but that phenomenon is on full display with Ninjas in Pyjamas. The European team plays at its opponent’s level in a way that’s downright infuriating for NiP fans. While it can take decisive wins against 3DMAX and Heroic, it’s still not above flailing losses against relative no-namers.

Still, the team has shown that it’s capable of taking of hanging with top-10-caliber opponents a few times over and gets a bit of a power-up in LAN tournaments. That’s been on display in StarSeries Fall 2025 with convincing wins over OG and Parivision. Though it came up short against NAVI in the upper bracket finals, NiP is showing why it was a favorite to win this tournament.
While B8 has had more than a few highlights of its own in 2025, the team hasn’t hit the highs that NiP has in recent months. NiP’s lack of consistency means that this isn’t a slam dunk, but it has more than what it takes to win this.

Ninjas in Pyjamas should be favored here, but the GG.BET live odds have them as enough of a favorite that it’s best to look elsewhere from the moneylines. Though NiP is a big favorite, its inconsistency this year warrants looking at either hedged bets or precise lines that offer a bigger payout.
