Ninjas in Pyjamas vs. Weibo Gaming Prediction on February 2, 2026

Match info

Six Invitational 2026 is Rainbow Six Siege X’s world championship—the biggest event of the season—run as an offline (LAN) S-Tier tournament organized by Ubisoft and BLAST. This particular match is in Group A, day 1, so it sets the tone immediately: in a short group stage, a fast start can decide whether a team gets a favorable route into the later rounds.

For readers who like to track eSports through broader industry coverage (not just results), resources like bookmakers for mobile often bundle schedules, regions, and team-context in one place—but the main sporting point is simple: NIP vs. Weibo is a high-stakes opener in the best-of-3 (bo3) format, which will start on Monday, February 2, 2026, at 13:30 CET (Central European Time, local time) in Paris, France. Unlike the playoffs, which will be played in front of a crowd at Adidas Arena, the early stages of the Six Invitational 2026 will be held in a studio environment (behind closed doors) without a live audience.

Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: Ninjas in Pyjamas

NIP comes in as a classic “LAN-tested” org from Sweden with a Brazilian core that’s used to high-pressure matches. Their recent top-level results show a team that’s been hovering around the elite—good enough to beat strong opponents, but also capable of getting punished when their early-round structure slips.

Playstyle-wise, Ninjas in Pyjamas usually look their best when they’re disciplined in the first minute: information-first setups, measured map control, and then decisive executes once they’ve forced defenders to reveal utility. When they’re off, it’s often because they take fights too early and lose the “trade chain,” which makes rounds snowball against them in bo3s.

Current form & playstyle: Weibo Gaming  

The Chinese side arrives with a very different storyline: it has built real international credibility by piling up points through strong regional results. They qualified for SI 2026 via the Global Standings, earning many points by winning both stages of Asia League 2025.

Their current roster is well-established, and their style is typically about creating problems for “bigger-name” teams through pace changes: quick mid-round pivots, confident swings when they’ve isolated a defender, and a willingness to scrap on tight maps rather than play slow-and-safe every round. If Weibo keep their comms clean and avoid giving NIP easy opening picks, they can absolutely turn this into a series where momentum flips map-to-map.

Head-to-head

They have one recorded meeting in the last year: at BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025 (bo1), Weibo beat NIP 1–0. This makes their Six Invitational 2026 group-stage matchup a rematch with momentum on Weibo’s side, while NIP will be looking to even the score on the biggest stage of the season.

Match analytics

NIP should be slight favorites in a bo3 because of experience and depth, but the H2H and Weibo’s upward trend suggest this won’t be comfortable. We’d lean NIP’s 2–1 in maps if they stay structured—Weibo can absolutely steal a map if they dictate tempo and win the early-round trades.
