Match Prediction: Nigma Galaxy - Gladiators | Dota 2
DPC 2021/2022 Tour 2 (Season 2): WEU (Euro) Divison I (Upper) - DreamLeague Season 17We continue to get acquainted with the DPC tour and study the strengths of the participants in the action. To be more specific, now we continue to watch teams from Western Europe.
We have already talked about the long-suffering OG-Liquid match, which is not clear when it will take place, and we also talked about the Secret Tundra series, now it's time to discuss an equally interesting game - Nigma Galaxy vs Gladiators.
The teams started in the second cycle from diametrically opposed positions, but still need points. Nigma needs them to make up for the first loss, and Gladiators to gain a foothold on the top of the table and once again prove that they won last season for a reason.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this confrontation.
Uniform Gladiators
Gladiators will be the nominal favorite in this match. There is nothing to be surprised here.
If 3 months ago, someone would have said that in the European division, “strong mid-range players” like Gladiator would sit at the top, I would have laughed. Now there is no time for jokes.

After the triumph last season, the Gladiators did not change the composition, which looks like a completely logical step. Why change something that works so well.
Gladiators latest match results
- 2-0 victory over OG
- 3-1 victory over Team Liquid
- Lost to Entity with a score of 0-2
- Defeated by HellRaisers with a score of 0-2
- 2-0 victory over Brame
The first series in the new tour ended with a victory for the Gladiators, but a simple walk on the first map failed. In general, a logical result.
Heroes Gladiators
Most Picked Gladiators in 7.31: Tiny (2 matches, 100% win rate), Crystal Maiden (1 match, 100% win rate), Mars (1 match, 100% win rate).
The above-mentioned characters are also the most successful, since so far the “gladiators” have not known defeats on the new patch.
Shape Nigma Galaxy
Nigma Galaxy will act as a nominal outsider in this match. Quite logical, by the way.
Nigma Galaxy still can't find a place for themselves: they are thrown from side to side. A great example of Nigma's “uncertainty” is last season, where after an absolute failure at the start and an outstanding comeback at the end, Nigma absolutely lost replays for the opportunity to play in the regional finals.

The composition does not change for a long time, but the performance of Nigma does not change either. The last surge is the Kyiv major, which everyone has safely forgotten after the events of last season.

After the LAN in Dubai, it looked like Nigma would have a good start to the DPC ahead of them. So far, he is tarnished by an unprincipled loss to OG, but there are still chances to improve the opening if you beat the Gladiators.

Most picked Nigma Galaxy heroes in patch 7.31: Invoker (6 matches, 66% win rate), Gyrocopter (5 matches, 40% win rate), Clockwerk (5 matches, 40% win rate).

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams played each other during the first season. Then Nigma Galaxy were defeated with a score of 0-2.
Match outcome
In this fight, I believe in Nigma. I'll bet in their favor.
Bottom line: Nigma wins.
Something I don’t like about Nigma Galaxy lately, maybe some people need to finish their careers and focus on coaching, something like that. Well, Miracle alone cannot carry all this burden, yes, there would be some chances if he played in the first position, but it's really hard. Well, he creates space for ILTW, and then what, they are simply moved and they cannot realize their plans on the map. Nigma Galaxy has three defeats in a row, two in the tournament in Dubai and one in the DPC season, but knowing this team, you can say that even outside the DPC season they want to win, but they simply cannot physically do it. No idea how they are going to win against Gaimin Gladiators in this match, they will have to invent something, but this can also play a negative role for them.
Gaimin Gladiators proved to everyone that they can play at a high level, so they found an organization for themselves and prove their superiority. As part of the DPC season, everything works out for them, and tournaments like the Dota Champions League are simply not needed. Their performance and understanding in the team is at the highest level, it is impossible to drive them into a corner at the stage of choosing characters, they know how to play outside the box and therefore they will win this match without any problems.
Gaimin Gladiators will win this match.
Nigma Galaxy will play against Gladiators in the first division DPC - Western Europe - prediction for this fight. It is noteworthy that Nigma Galaxy has two days of games in a row, Gladiators last played on March 30th.
