A huge pillbox is about to return to our screens. A very important and highly anticipated tournament of the season, WePlay AniMajor 2021, starts on the 2nd.
The tournament will bring together the best 18 teams of the season, which we have watched with particular passion. And in a major he will watch with even more.
Vici and Nigma will play Wild Card in the first round. You need to get used to such loud pairs, because in the major there can be no other way.
We are trying to predict, almost unpredictable, and determine the winner in the first round of the Wild Card. It will be hard, but we will try.
Nigma shape
Perhaps, let's start the analysis with a team that is closer and, in a sense, a home team. Team Nigma.
If you followed my lyrics, you know that at the beginning of the season, KuroKy and the company did not inspire confidence in me. Much to my surprise, replacing w33 with iLTW Nigma blossomed.
Nigma Latest Results
- Lost to Alliance with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Brame 2-1
- Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-0
- Defeat OG 2-0
- Lose at Tundra 1-2
In addition, during the second season, Nigma managed to easily deal with Secret, beating them 2-0. Well, at the Singapore Major, Kuro and the company failed to show their full potential, but this time they will play with their full complement, clearly hungry for victories.
But whether the Chinese "tigers" will be enough for them. Can Nigma handle Vici?
Vici Gaming Form
The updated Nigma will be confronted by the good old Vici. Vici, who would be good to pick up DPC points in order to isolate themselves from the not sparing qualifications in China.
The Tigers have all the prerequisites for this: strong performers, a stable playstyle, and, most likely, desire. The main thing is to correctly combine all the components.
Vici Gaming Latest Results
- Win over RNG with a score of 2-0
- Defeat Aster 2-0
- Defeat Elephant 2-1
- Defeat Sparking Arrow Gaming 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
As we can see, within the region the Vici are very strong, but still not enough. Not enough, because they will be forced to play Wild Card.
However, we remember how the last Wild Card of the Chinese ended. They passed it without any problems and later, absolutely the same, in the classroom, left the group.
I don't think that this time they will be prevented from repeating the script. Is Nigma going to interfere?
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams managed to play 1 match within the 2021 season. Then the teams dispersed peacefully, ending the meeting with a score of 1-1.
Match outcome
The first round of the Wild Card is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can, of course, fantasize and figure out what awaits us in a duel, but then further...
The factor of "remoteness" of the playing teams complicates the whole process. Nigma Europeans vs. Vici Chinese.
It seems like Europe looks weaker as a region and you need to bet on Vici. But on the other hand, even in the last Major, we saw how the bloodless Nigma squeezed Vici's card.
In general, the choice must be made and I am making it in favor of Vici, because I think that the second cup of the season will go to China again. Vici Victory.
Outcome: Vici 2-0.
