Meta Ninza reached the BMSD 2026 Grand Finals without playing the semi-finals, and finished 9th there on 113 points. After Week 3 of the qualifiers they led Group A on 54 points. Team 8Bit were on 53, Revenant XSpark on 51, and Blitz Epigrotive Gaming on 45. Those four scores are week scores, not three-week totals, and they are the only qualifier figures this site is willing to print for the direct finalists. The top four of that group were done with online elimination.
The comparison with the semi-final leaders is tempting and wrong. Apex's 152 came from 16 semi-final matches. Meta Ninza's 54 came from a different week, in a different stage, so the two figures were never put on one points table. In the Grand Finals themselves the order flipped: Meta Ninza scored 113 points to finish 9th, one place ahead of Team Apex Gaming on 98.
At BGIS 2026, where the units do match, Meta Ninza were 12th on 95 points: 64 finish points, 31 position points, one chicken dinner. That is a lower final than Soul, Genesis or GodLike, and it is still a completed LAN on the KRAFTON board. Sportskeeda noted that the side had been led by Shadow in the qualifiers. Shadow has a player page of his own and is listed on the roster above.
For Meta Ninza, the verified current lineup is Apollo, Auxin, Fierce, Javin and Shadow7.
