Match Progress
On Train, NIP secured a 16-13 victory, enduring a tense finish and several clutches from SAW players. On Overpass, the Swedish organization was once again stronger — 16-14, closing the series with a 2-0 score and avoiding a decisive map.
The standout player for SAW was João “story” Vieira, who finished the series with 54 kills, 40 deaths, 87 ADR, and a 7.4 rating, but his efforts weren't enough for victory.
The triumph at the Roman Imperium Cup III awarded Ninjas in Pyjamas a prize of $2,937, while SAW earned $1,762 for second place. Additionally, the victory at the Portuguese lan tournament allowed NIP to accumulate enough VRS points to enter the invite zone for IEM Kraków 2026, with invitations to be issued on January 5th.
