Ninjas in Pyjamas sweep LNG in two fast LPL games

Ninjas in Pyjamas defeated LNG Esports in two games during LPL Split 3. Both games ended before the half-hour mark. Care completed the series without dying and received the main award.

LNG fought more effectively during the second game. NIP still controlled the lanes and every route into the base. Its pressure produced a short and complete series victory.

Guwon breaks open the first game

NIP selected a direct team with Yorick, Naafiri and Cassiopeia. Photic played Xayah, while fengyue supported him with Rakan. LNG answered with Jayce, Pantheon and Syndra. Lucian and Milio completed the lower side of their draft.

The first game separated quickly after the opening phase. Guwon found repeated kills on Naafiri and finished without dying. NIP removed every outer route into the LNG base. The winners collected eleven towers before the finish.

LNG produced only two kills and two towers. The team did not secure a dragon or Baron. NIP controlled the important neutral areas from the first dragon onward. That control allowed the leaders to choose when each fight began.

Guwon ended the game with six kills and five assists. Photic added four kills from the bottom lane. Care remained unbeaten and helped both side lanes. Fengyue took part in ten of the team’s fourteen kills.

LNG contest the map but lose every tower

The second draft gave LNG more tools for longer fights. Weiwei moved to Skarner and Nia selected Ryze. NIP answered with Lee Sin for Guwon and Twisted Fate for Care. Photic used Ezreal as the main ranged damage source.

LNG collected the first dragon and stayed closer during the early minutes. The team later added two more dragons. NIP still controlled the lanes and continued to take structures. The tower difference reached ten to zero before the end.

Care used Twisted Fate to reach fights outside the middle lane. He finished with six kills, seven assists and no deaths. Photic added five kills while dying once. Those two players supplied stable damage during the final push.

LNG earned seven kills, which was a clear improvement from game one. The team still could not turn those wins into permanent map control. NIP took Baron and used the stronger minion waves to enter the base. The second game ended at almost the same time as the first.

Care and fengyue connect the lineup

Care moved between the lanes without giving LNG an easy target. His Twisted Fate reached side fights before the defence settled. He completed both games without surrendering a kill.

Fengyue supported the main damage players through every important fight. Rakan gave him direct entry tools in the opener. Alistar brought stronger protection during the second game.

Guwon controlled the first game through early jungle pressure. He then changed champions without losing contact with the lanes. Photic remained safe and supplied damage from behind the first line.

LNG changed several champions before the second game. The new draft created more fighting success. NIP still held the stronger lane pressure and structure control.

Lane pressure carries NIP through both games

The opening game separated after NIP gained control of the river. LNG could not move safely between its lanes. That pressure opened every route toward the base.

LNG collected more neutral objectives in the second game. Its players also won several direct fights. NIP answered by keeping the side lanes pushed forward.

Both games ended at a similar stage of the clock. They reached that point through different drafts and different fights. NIP’s stable map control connected the two results.

Care received the individual award after a flawless series. The full lineup still shared the work around him. NIP completed a clear win without relying on one isolated moment.

NIP control the lanes before every finish

Guwon moved between lanes before LNG could establish safe vision. His early pressure gave NIP control of the river entrances. The lanes then played with more room around each objective. LNG lost players whenever it tried to contest from poor positions.

The first game became one-sided after NIP secured the central area. LNG collected only two kills and two towers. NIP kept every outer route available for its next move. Guwon finished the game without a death.

LNG found more fights during the second game. The team still failed to take a single tower. Care used that map pressure to move before his lane opponent. Fengyue followed the calls and helped NIP close the base.

Both wins ended after twenty-eight minutes. The similar game time came from different levels of resistance. LNG fell behind immediately in the opener but fought longer afterward. NIP answered both versions with stronger objective control.

NIP kept its minion waves moving before every major objective. LNG often reached the river while another lane was already under pressure. That choice divided the defenders and reduced their time to prepare. NIP then returned to the lanes immediately after each successful fight.

LNG’s second draft gave the team more ways to enter a fight. Its players secured several objectives and stayed closer through the middle phase. Care’s movement then pulled the defence away from the lanes. NIP used the open structures to finish the map.
