After the second matchday, the standings have become more stable, and the favorites and outsiders have begun to emerge. In this article, we’ll highlight a match from the 0-2 bracket: Nigma Galaxy vs VP. 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. At PGL Wallachia Season 5, Nigma Galaxy didn't start very well. They lost 1-2 to NAVI in the first match and 0-2 to OG in the second. The team still has a chance to make the playoffs, but they need to win 3 matches in a row.

VP form
Let's continue our Dota 2 betting tips with an analysis of VP form. Virtus.pro is a well-known esports organization. The team has been competing in Dota 2 at the professional level since 2014, making them one of the pioneers in this esports discipline.

Let’s begin our overview of VP in classic fashion — with their 2023 season. Since then, the team has established itself as a stable and solid participant on the Tier-2 scene. They started the year with a 4th place finish at DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I, followed by another 4th place in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I. And guess what place they took at DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division I? That’s right — 4th again.
VP also participated in Riyadh Masters 2023 but without success, finishing 17th–20th. Toward the end of the season, VP showed better form. They won The International 2023 – Eastern Europe Qualifier, and The International 2023 itself became the peak of their year, where they finished in 7th–8th place.
The year 2024 was slightly better for the team. VP played in more Tier-1 tournaments, though without major success. Notable results include 9th–10th place at DreamLeague Season 22, 12th–14th at PGL Wallachia Season 1, and 17th–18th at Riyadh Masters 2024.
On the Tier-2 and Tier-3 scene, VP performed slightly better, securing 2nd place at both the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring and CCT Series 4.
The team started the year 2025 with various qualifications for major tournaments. There was practically no participation in tournaments, only a 2nd place at FISSURE Special. The main result of the season for VP is the victory at the Esports World Cup 2025: MESWA Closed Qualifier.
