NiP besegrar TYLOO mot Nuke och går upp till 2–0 vid StarLadder Budapest Major 2025

November 29, 2025 — Ninjas in Pyjamas claimed a crucial win at Stage 2 of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, overcoming TYLOO with a 13–8 scoreline on Nuke. The result pushes NiP to a confident 2–0 record, while TYLOO drop to 1–1, losing their chance to secure an early advancement.

NiP entered the match with a clear game plan, which became visible even during the veto phase.The map veto unfolded as follows:

1. Ninjas in Pyjamas removed Mirage
2. Ninjas in Pyjamas removed Inferno
3. TYLOO removed Dust2
4. TYLOO removed Overpass
5. TYLOO removed Ancient
6. Ninjas in Pyjamas removed Train
7. Nuke remained as the final map

With Nuke left in the pool, NiP looked fully prepared. They displayed strong discipline on the CT side, shutting down TYLOO’s early aggression and preventing the Asian squad from gaining momentum. TYLOO attempted to shift the tempo with fast hits and mid-round pressure, but NiP’s structure and utility usage repeatedly stopped them from converting crucial rounds.

The victory strengthens NiP’s position in the Swiss stage and puts them one best-of-three away from securing a playoff berth. For TYLOO, now standing at 1–1, the tournament continues with pressure mounting — the team still has solid chances to progress, but every next match becomes increasingly important.
