Welcome to all esports and Dota 2 fans! From June 21 to June 29, 2025, one of the biggest LAN tournaments of the summer — PGL Wallachia Season 5 — is taking place. Sixteen teams will compete for the championship title and a $1,000,000 prize pool. The event will kick off with a group stage, and the final match of the first round will feature Nigma Galaxy vs NAVI. While the teams are preparing for the game, we’ll try to determine the likely winner and provide betting tips.
Nigma Galaxy form
Let’s begin our Dota 2 betting prediction with an analysis of Nigma Galaxy’s team form. Nigma Galaxy is a well-known team that has been competing on the Tier-1 scene for several years. The organization was previously called Nigma and was founded by former Team Liquid members, including four of the five The International 2017 champions.
Nigma Galaxy roster: SumaiL, No!ob, OmaR, GH, KuroKy
We’ll start our analysis traditionally, going back to the 2023 season. That year, the team didn’t play in many tournaments, and most of the events they did attend were Tier-2 level. Nigma Galaxy made their presence known at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and Tour 2, finishing in 6th and 8th place respectively.
After that, they qualified for DreamLeague Season 19 through the regional qualifiers. However, they couldn’t show a solid performance at the main event, managing to beat only Talon Esports and finishing in 13th-14th place. Still, Nigma Galaxy showed promise with a 1-1 draw against Team Spirit.
The team then returned to lower-tier tournaments and managed to secure 2nd place at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 3: Division II.
The 2024 season was significantly different for Nigma Galaxy — the team finally managed to display a higher level of play. From the beginning of the year, they participated in a number of qualifiers with fairly good results. However, in their first Tier-1 tournament of the year — Elite League Season 1 — they underperformed and finished in 20th-22nd place.
Success came a bit later, with Nigma Galaxy securing 3rd place at Clavision: Snow Ruyi and a 7th-8th place finish at ESL One Bangkok 2024.
The year 2025 for Nigma Galaxy also started with qualifiers and the team was able to qualify for PGL Wallachia Season 3 and ESL One Raleigh 2025. Successful performances at the qualifiers continued with a 3-4 place at BLAST Slam II. It is also worth noting the 7th place at DreamLeague Season 26. PGL Wallachia Season 5 is a great chance for Nigma Galaxy to continue the season in a quality way.
Most popular Nigma Galaxy heroes
Here are the most picked and highest winrate heroes for Nigma Galaxy in 2025:
- Bristleback – 33 games – 75.76% winrate
- Tusk – 31 games – 61.29% winrate
- Magnus – 25 games – 68% winrate
- Morphling – 23 games – 56.52% winrate
- IO – 22 games – 59.09% winrate
As you can see, Nigma Galaxy has a well-defined hero pool, which makes betting picks slightly easier.
Natus Vincere form
Let's continue our Dota 2 betting tips with an analysis of Natus Vincere's form. Almost every gamer has heard of this legendary esports organization. NAVI is one of the pioneers of competitive gaming, especially in Dota 2, and they were also the winners of the first-ever The International.
NAVI roster: Zayac, BOOM, Yuragi, Copy, gotthejuiCe
It’s worth noting that NAVI recently made changes to their roster. Several players from NAVI Junior, who have shown better performances this season, will be promoted to the main lineup. However, not all of the new players will be participating at PGL Wallachia Season 5.
In 2023, although Natus Vincere remained a well-known name, they did not compete at the highest level. They began the season by playing in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and Tour 2, finishing in 8th and 7th place respectively. After that, they played in several Tier-2 and Tier-3 events, with a notable highlight being their victory in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division II.
They failed to qualify for The International 2023, finishing 3rd in the regional qualifiers, and continued to participate in lower-tier tournaments.
The 2024 season was slightly better for the team. NAVI started the year by playing through a series of qualifiers and managed to secure a spot at DreamLeague Season 23. However, their performance at the event was disappointing — they only managed to defeat Azure Ray and finished in 11th-12th place.
NAVI started showing improvement at Clavision: Snow Ruyi, where they finished 4th. After that tournament, the team once again took part in regional qualifiers and qualified for PGL Wallachia Season 2, which turned out to be their peak performance in 2024. At that event, NAVI finished the group stage with a 3-1 record and advanced to the playoffs. In the lower bracket, they defeated Infinity 2-1 and Nouns Esports 2-0, ultimately securing 4th place at the tournament.
In 2025, Natus Vincere again played a bunch of qualifiers, but not very successfully. On the Tier-1 stage, they played only at PGL Wallachia Season 3 where they took 9-11th place, and on the Tier-3 stage, they won at CCT Series 8.
However, NAVI Junior played an incredible game this year. They took 1st and 2nd place at CCT Series 6 and CCT Series 7, took 7-8th place at PGL Wallachia Season 4, and most importantly managed to qualify for the Esports World Cup and The international 2025, so now NAVI Junior will become the main squad and replace the current Natus Vincere squad. Will you be rooting for NAVI and PGL Wallachia Season 5?
Most popular NAVI heroes
Here are the most picked and highest winrate heroes for NAVI in 2025:
- Tiny – 20 games – 70% winrate
- Magnus – 20 games – 65% winrate
- Warlock – 19 games – 68.42% winrate
- Shadow Demon – 18 games – 72.22% winrate
- Dragon Knight – 10 games – 80% winrate
Since NAVI will be playing with a revamped roster at PGL Wallachia Season 5, it's difficult to predict exactly what to expect from them.
Nigma Galaxy vs NAVI Head-to-Head History
The teams have faced each other four times, with Nigma Galaxy winning three matches and NAVI taking one. Neither team is particularly consistent, but both are dynamic — making this match one to watch.
Predicted result of the match Nigma Galaxy vs NAVI at PGL Wallachia Season 5
Looking at the recent results this season, most analysts and bookmakers consider Nigma Galaxy the favorite in this match. However, we wouldn’t rush to that conclusion. NAVI now has a fresh lineup, and after their Junior team successful qualification for the Esports World Cup 2025 and The International 2025, they are highly motivated. In our opinion, NAVI can rise to the challenge and take the win in this match.
Result: NAVI win.
