JD Gaming will seek revenge on Ninjas in Pyjamas on Sunday, September 1, when the two Chinese LoL esports teams clash in a League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Summer Playoffs rematch. Ninjas in Pyjamas shockingly won the last meeting, but according to the latest LoL esports betting odds, JD Gaming should get their revenge.

Priced at $1.33, JD Gaming are expected to have a fairly easy time against Ninjas in Pyjamas on Sunday, which does not sound too shocking. They lost the last series 2-3, but it was an incredibly disappointing display from LoL World Championship 2023 semifinalists and not a performance we can expect to see again.

JDG were not sharp on the day, with apparent communication issues and no planning involved in their approach to the series. On the maps Seo “Kanavi” Jin-hyeok and co. won; they looked very dominant but misplayed their poke composition on map five, which led to a painful loss.

Ninjas in Pyjamas failed to make it much further after beating JD Gaming, as they got torn apart by Weibo Gaming in Round 3. There is not much to take from that series, but it did prove just how fast-and-famine Ninjas in Pyjamas can be.

Qualitatively, JD Gaming are the superior team, even though their last clash with Ninjas in Pyjamas might not make it that obvious. However, they did play a close series against JD Gaming during the regular season and once again in the playoffs, making it seem like NiP are the better pick at outsider odds.

From afar, this looks like a dog or pass match, but it is tough to doubt JD Gaming, who have the talent to end the split inside the top-three. Ninjas in Pyjamas seem too inconsistent to find any success at the top level.
