We open the analysis of the match RNG - LGD Gaming Youth with the analysis of RNG's form. In this match the team will play the first number one with odds to win around 1.4.
The first tournament for the "ninjas" was LPL Spring 2023. There NiP took the top-13, which is not a terrible result for the debut.
- NiP lineup: Shanji, AKi, neny, Leave, ppgod.
After the Top 13 at LPL Spring 2023, Ninjas in Pyjamas resorted to stand-ins. These affected both the management and the playing staff. The changes were clearly beneficial, as NiP looked fresh in the summer split and deservedly qualified for the LPL Summer 2023 play-offs. In the group stage, NiP finished in the top 10 and made it to the play-offs, where they even managed to get through the first round and ended up in the top 8.
In between LPL Summer 2023 and Demacia Cup 2023, NiP visited NEST 2023. They didn't play seriously there and made it to the top 8.

As a result of Demacia Cup 2023 NiP managed to get into the top 4, where "Ninjas" met with Bilibili and lost.
In the group stage of LPL Spring 2024, NiP, I would say, played better than what was expected of them. They finished in the top 5, which allowed them to go straight into the second round of play-offs.
LPL Spring 2024 started the main stage with a pretty tough win over Team WE. NiP won with a score of 3-2. Then another win and this time against FPX and again 3-2. And with Bilibili Gaming NiP did not cope, but managed to take the map - 1-3. As a result, the top 4, which was a very good result for the club.
At the LPL Summer 2024 NiP Long Competed from Group D, where they took TOP-2. Rumble Stage LPL Summer 2024 was quite tough, and NiP took the last line, playing it with a score of 0-8. They qualified for the play-offs after defeating Rare Atom in the so-called Decider round. But in the main stage NiP got their spirits up: they defeated LGD Gaming and JD Gaming in turn, but fell out of the tournament after losing to Weibo in the third round.
After a surprise top-6 finish at LPL Summer 2024, Ninjas in Pyjamas finished top-4 at LPL Regional Finals 2024.
