Astralis enters this best-of-three lower-bracket matchup after a mixed start in the Esports World Cup Group B, rebounding from a 0-2 loss to Falcons with a dominant 13-6 win over MIBR while relying on a roster featuring jabbi, Staehr, and HooXi for map control and individual firepower. Ninjas in Pyjamas arrives fresher following a 2-0 victory over BetBoom that secured their own lower-bracket spot, leveraging recent form and a head-to-head edge that includes a narrow 2025 Major win on Nuke. The LAN setting and double-elimination structure heighten the importance of map selection and adaptation in a closely contested series where roster stability, recent series results, and playoff implications shape trader assessments of each side's advancement chances.

This market will resolve to "Astralis" if Astralis win the match against NIP.
This market will resolve to "NIP" if NIP win the match against Astralis.
If the match is canceled (not played at all) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50.
If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before August 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 16, 2026 at 7:00 AM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played.
If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins.
If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence.
In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.
