Match Prediction: OG - Nigma Galaxy | Dota 2
The International 10: Western Europe QualifierAlong with the Chinese qualifications, European qualifications are also coming to the end. And like in China, in Europe there are also sensations.
In China, that was the departure of RNG from MagMa, and in Europe, the fall of Nigma and OG into the lower bracket. Into the lower bracket of the closed qualifiers at TI. Some of this couple will not go to TI.
It was obvious anyway, but we were expecting such a couple in the final of the qualifiers, where they would have staged a Dota extravaganza. Well, have to arrange today at the bottom of the grid. Since to fly out, so about the song?
Let's figure out what to expect from the fight, and which of the finalists of the past The International will say goodbye to the opportunity to attend the main tournament of the year this year.
Form OG
Let's start with OG. The two-time reigning world champions are one step away from being eliminated from the closed qualifiers.
If it weren't for OG, you could be sad. But that chaos and madness, which has been following this club for several years, quite logically led OG to such a situation.
OG Latest Results
- Defeat Quincy Crew 2-0
- Lost to Alliance 0-2
- Defeat from ViKin.gg with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Nigma 2-1
- Lose at Tundra 2-0
In these qualifications, we see part of the OG magic that works despite significant lineup changes. It will be very disappointing to lose her at the upcoming The International.
Nigma shape
OG will be opposed by Nigma. Another team that should have been at The International in an amicable way, but is in danger of being left without him.
KuroKy, for the first time since 2011, runs the risk of missing out on the main event of the year. As difficult to imagine The International without two-time champions, it is difficult to imagine it without Kuro, which has become the unofficial symbol of TI.
One could blame the DPC system and other external factors for the fact that these particular teams are forced to play qualifiers, but let's face it. Nobody stopped Nigma and OG from turning on during the season and giving all their best. They didn't, and here's the result.
Nigma Latest Results
- Lost to OG with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Hellbear Smashers 1-2
- Lost to OG with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-0
- Defeat Team Liquid 2-1
Nigma play the whole qualification very tightly. Having fallen into the lower grid, many expected to see the very same Kuro and the company from 2017, but too much water has flowed under the bridge since then. Now Nigma is not the same.
Personal meeting history
In the last 5 meetings Nigma have managed to win only 1 match.
The outcome of the fight
It is very sad to part with one of these teams, but the choice must be made. Looking at the qualifications, you understand that OG are playing better, despite yesterday's defeat in the match against Tundra.
Nigma were already losing to OG during this qualification. Nigma can't keep up with OG in the trademark game of two-time champions, which they get in the updated roster. But Nigma with iLTW cannot answer, just as they could not in the final of TI19 with w33.
Outcome: victory for OG.
OG and Nigma will play each other in the final of the lower bracket of qualifiers for The International 10. OG managed to beat Vikin.gg and Nigma with a score of 2: 1, but lost to Tundra Esports with a score of 0: 2 without much chance.
Nigma defeated the Hellbear Smashers and was already losing 1: 2 to OG in these qualifiers, yesterday they defeated Spider Pigzs and beat Team Liquid 2: 1 in the most difficult game.

Prediction: OG vs. Nigma in European Qualifiers for The International 10
OG and Nigma have already played with each other in qualifiers, Nigma then lost 1: 2 on the cards. OG has Alchemist in the pool, Ax is in the top three, Nigma should be wary of their Luna/Terrorblade/Ember Spirit, these are probably the only three heroes that iLTW can not throw in this important match.
OG for some reason looks a little stronger than Nigma, in my understanding, bookmakers give equal odds, 1.86 for OG and 1.984 for Nigma.
I even advise you to believe in 2: 0 from OG for 3.34, it seems to me that Nigma has already shown everything at these qualifiers, if they don't have Luna, then OG will easily celebrate victory in this fight.
Prediction: OG will easily beat Nigma in qualifiers for The International 10 - coefficient 1.86; with a risk of 2: 0 - coefficient 3.44
In the final, one of these teams will face Tundra Esports and the guys from OG will go there. OG's motivation is now at the highest level, they perfectly understand that they can enter the Dota World Championship and win it for the third time in a row, you must agree that this record is unlikely to be surpassed by anyone. Through motivation and team action, they will benefit.
