On paper this is lopsided: Ninjas in Pyjamas sit 39 places above Betclic in the world ranking. Those gaps close more often than people expect, so here is what the numbers say once form, head-to-head and the map pool get a vote.
Ninjas in Pyjamas come in ranked #26 in the world, Betclic #65.
✅ Nuke strength: 78% winrate over 18 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Nuke (74% pick rate)
✅ Strong recent form: 23 wins in last 39 (64%) shows momentum
❌ Only 33% winrate on Dust2 over 6 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Heavy Dust2 ban usage (59% bans) limits their map bargaining
✅ Nuke strength: 62% winrate over 8 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Anubis (62% pick rate)
❌ Practically never plays Inferno (90% banned), reducing veto flexibility
Win, pick and ban rates over the last three months. This is where a series is often decided before it starts — a team can steer the veto onto a map the opponent rarely plays.
