biguzera on the match against Ninjas in Pyjamas at BLAST Bounty Summer 2026: “It was hard for us to predict what they were going to do.”
paiN Gaming captain Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt, in an interview at BLAST Bounty Summer 2026, shared his thoughts after the victory against Ninjas in Pyjamas and advancing to the main stage of the event, and also praised Rafael “saffee” Costa.
On saffee
He’s a sniper with an aggressive playstyle. He performed exceptionally well, racking up a lot of kills and making a big impact.
On the Mirage match against Ninjas in Pyjamas
We played an anti-strategy against them. They played aggressively on defense, so it was tough for us on offense. It was important for us to understand exactly where the firefight would take place. For example, if their players were heading to “mid,” we’d head to “B” or play the default route. It was hard for us to predict what they would do.
About Nuke
We knew they’d pick Nuke, so we prepared for it. We were certain they’d play it because it’s that team’s best map.
