Match Prediction: Team Secret - Nigma Galaxy | Dota 2

Team Secret Will win

Secret and Nigma will play from Europe as part of the regular stage of the second DPC season. Previously, this match caused a storm of emotions and gave a real Dota holiday.

Now, the duel between these teams does not seem so healthy. Unfortunately, the winner has been known for a long time.

Nigma shape

I would like to start discussions with Nigma. Perhaps, Nigma is the main disappointment of the European region over the past season.

Yes, MC's illness clearly knocked down the team, and even with a replacement, they tried to reinvent the wheel and show a decent game in the Singapore Major. Did not work out.

Results of last 5 matches Nigma

Lost to Team Liquid 0-2
Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
Lose from AS Monaco Gambit with a score of 0-2
Draw against Vici Gaming 1-1
Lose at T1 0-2

As a result, the last place of the Wild Card stage, the complete absence of a intelligible game and everything that pops up along with it. However, let's leave Singapore behind.

What surprises me much more is the decision to change w33 to iLTW. Don't think, I'm not an iLTW hater, and w33 is clearly "tired", but signing a CIS player to the European team is such a good idea?

We've already seen iLTW in OG, we've seen in VP. Something I do not remember the worthy results of these clubs with him in the composition.

In general, for me this replacement is a total weakening of Nigma. And yes, where did Sumail go?

Secret form

If, discussing the form of Nigma, you can notably disagree, then with Secret this is unlikely to work. Everything is much more stable here.

Yes, at the Singapore Major we probably expected a much brighter performance from the "secret" than we received. No, they did not perform badly.

Team Secret's last 5 matches

Defeat OG 2-1
Beat Thunder Predator 2-0
Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
Defeat OB Esports x Neon 2-1
Lost to Invictus Gaming 2-0

Although it was difficult for Secret for the first time in the last year and a half outside Europe, they are still one of the best teams. And given the fact that in the coming months they will have to play again within Europe, the prerequisites for the defeat of Puppey and the company are becoming even less.

Personal meeting history

The history of official confrontations between Secret and Nigma is quite extensive, but we will only be interested in the last few matches. And there everything is more than obvious.

Over the last 5 fights, Secret have only dealt 1 card (!). The last time Secret lost the Nigma map was ESL One Germany 2020 Online.

Match outcome

In principle, there is nothing special to say about it. Everything testifies to the unconditional victory of Secret. The only hope is that Nigma will take 1 card, as Puppey decides to “test” the patch.

Result: Secret wins (a risky total over 1.5 is possible).

Nigma Galaxy Will win

It is not clear what form Team Nigma is in now, they played and trained with a new player under the nickname iLTW, but no one knows how he will show himself in today's match as a carry. Nigma were forced to kick Viha from the team because it was visible with the naked eye how this player prevents them from winning, this player's hero pool narrowed and the quality of the game was also not at the highest level. The games in the Major of the Nigma team should not be taken into account, the guys arrived without their hardliner and played with a coach, it was immediately clear that their performance at this tournament was doomed to failure.

Team Secret played badly for themselves in the Major, it was hard for them to play and they could even fly away from such a team as Neon. In this match, they may have problems if Nigma does not stand on ceremony with them and takes his signature heroes, I think that ILTW will strengthen their game.

You can risk your bet on Nigma in this match and don't forget about live!

Team Secret Will win

Forecast for the match of the first division DreamLeague Season 15 DPC (Europe) between Team Secret and Nigma.

Nigma decided to change after the failure at ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021. Let us remind you that Nigma could not get out of the WildCard stage. To be fair, it should be noted that there was no MinD_ConTroL there due to the coronavirus, and w33 practically did not play in the mid lane. Now Igor iLTW Filatov will play for Nigma instead of Alivi w33 Omar.

Team Secret took the fourth place at the last ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021, in the lower bracket they lost to the future champions - Invictus Gaming with a score of 0: 2.

Both teams have not played a single game on the new patch, especially since today a small update 7.29b was released, where Phantom Lancer, one of the strongest characters from iLTW, was weakened. Igor's pool also has Ember Spirit and IO.

Match prediction: Team Secret vs Nigma within DreamLeague Season 15 DPC (Europe)

Frankly, I don’t believe at all in Nigma's roster with iLTW, but for Nigma this is practically the last chance to catch a slot at The International 2021. Apparently KuroKy believes in success with iLTW, Igor is known for playing a lot of Dota 2, about 20 + publics per day. If KuroKy has noticed something in iLTW, they will need to look at their games to see how they will change their play style. It is believed that Nigma will continue to build playstyle around Miracle and its qualities. MinD_ConTroL is clearly missing the official games.

The match promises to be very interesting, because this is a duel between Nigma and Team Secret. This is definitely not worth missing!

Bookmakers give odds of 1.342 on Team Secret, on Nigma - 3.158. As I said earlier, I can't believe in the Nigma line-up at all, and therefore an easy 2: 0 victory for the Secret with the odds of 1.778.
