Maç Tahmini: Team Secret - Nigma Galaxy | Dota 2

We have reached the main dish of the upcoming game day. The duel between Secret and Nigma promises to be epochal.

Competitive dota has changed so much that now game giants like Puppey and KuroKy are forced to fight for their lives in the top division. At the same time, fight in a face-to-face confrontation.

Nigma Galaxy will approach the confrontation with sad statistics of 1 won and 4 lost series. On the account of Kuro and the company, a victory in only 4 maps, and they are in 6th place in the table.

Secret is doing even worse. Puppey's team is on the penultimate line of the standings with statistics 1-5 and no room for error.

We are getting ready to find out if The International 2022 silver medalist can beat his friend and grab the opportunity to stay in the first division.

Team Secret uniform

Since this is the last match of Secret, let's start the review of the match with an analysis of their game form. They are the favorites in this match.

The bookmakers are wary of giving Secret a nominal edge. The team's chance of winning is estimated by a coefficient around 1.7.

In fact, we can state parity. Odds near 1.8 often indicate this state of affairs, but for Secret in the current situation, this is even praise.

Team Secret roster

After The International 2022, Secret suffered a huge loss. Nisha left the team and as it turned out, it was he who was the main creator of their success. This is if you look at dry statistics.

Team Secret players

• crystallis
• BOOM
• Resolut1on
• Zayac
• Puppey

Secret are having a hard time with the departure of the main headliner of the team. It can be seen how hard matches are given to them and how unprincipled they look against the background of other title clubs, although they themselves are such.

Team Secret Performance

Secret on the wave of reshuffles last season were on the 31st line of the DPC table. The team took 5th place three times in the regional league and did not play in the major tournaments.

Secret got a break after joining Zayac and Resolut1on. The team had a good Riyadh Master and ESL One Malaysia, after which they took 2nd place in the Western European qualifiers for The International 2022.

At The International 2022, Team Secret revived and it paid off. The team reached the final of the upper bracket of the playoffs, after which they flew down, but not for long.

Having beaten Liquid in the small final with a score of 2-1, the team made it to the grand final. The last match of the last season ended sadly for Secret: 0-3 from Tundra Esports.

The start of the DPC was quite a dramatic event for the Puppey team. The team played against Team Liquid with the Pole Nisha in the roster. As a result of the first series, Secret were declassed and lost with a score of 0-2.

The second series did not have a similar storyline, but had an identical result. Secret were crushed by OG, which was especially noticeable on the second map.

In the third series, nothing has changed. Secret tried to fix the situation somehow, but nothing came of it: GG took out Secret with a score of 2-0.

Then there were Entity and the first reason to be proud of Team Secret. They were able to pick up the map, but lost the series 1-2.

After the fight with Entity Secret, they faced Tundra Esports. 33 and the company passed Puppey, winning 2-0.

Before this fight, Secret met with Into The Breach, which became a kind of lifeline for the Puppey team. Thanks to the victory (clean, by the way), Secret are still in the game and have a chance to cling to a place in the top division.

Team Secret Heroes

Their most common spawns were Tusk (7 matches, 85% wins), Witch Doctor (5 matches, 80; wins), Monkey King (5 matches, 60% wins), Pangolier (4 matches, 50% wins), Death Prophet (4 matches, 50% win rate).

Shape Nigma Galaxy

The last opponent of Team Secret will be Nigma Galaxy. The latter will play in the status of catching up.

Bookmakers doubt Nigma's abilities and give them a coefficient of around 2 for their victory. The figure is very acceptable.

Nigma this season rarely boasted such a pre-match balance of power. Now, according to experts, Nigma are quite close to triumph, and they desperately need it.

Composition of Nigma

From the outcome of this match, with a high degree of probability, depends on his future fate. If Nigma is successful, they may want to play seriously at subsequent events, including DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour II, as he was not seen in the first season.

Nigma Players

• SumaiL
• ATF
• MinD_ControlRoL
• GH
• KuroKy

There are reasons to believe so, at least according to the feelings after the last match of Nigma Galaxy. Finally, we saw peppy stars.

Performance of Nigma Galaxy

Nigma Galaxy started last year in the TOP-6 at DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division 1, which briefly separated them from relegation to the second division. The actual relegation came a season later when Nigma took last place at DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1.

Once in the second league, the stellar team nevertheless easily took the first line and regained their place in the elite division for the 2023 season. In addition, the team played Riyadh Masters 2022 and ESL One Malaysia 2022, where they took the TOP 6 in the first and the second TOP -8.

The last tournament before the BetBoom Xmas Show and the replacement of the roster was the qualifier for The International 2022 from Western Europe. There, the team took the TOP-6, missing out on the second in a row of The International.

After changing the roster, the team took part in the local BB Xmas Show event. Having received a direct invite to the playoffs, KuroKy and the company fell face down in the dirt: Nigma lost two series out of two played and left the tournament at the TOP-8 stage.

In the first match of DPC 2023, Nigma played against Tundra Esports. As I said above, it turned out, surprisingly, not bad: Nigma, thanks to the pick from Huskar and Lina, took one card, already something.

Then “those same Nigmas” turned on. In a match against ITB, seemingly the most passable member of the league, KuroKy and company collapsed, losing 0-2, thus effectively putting an end to their further participation in the first league.

Then there were Gaimin Gladiators, who also turned out to be stronger than Nigma Galaxy in the match. GG beat Nigma 2-1.

Nigma's fourth rival was Team Liquid. You don't need to be an incredible specialist to guess the outcome of the match: the “liquids” effortlessly dealt with Nigma Galaxy with a score of 2-0.

After Nigma played with OG and, surprisingly, showed a good game. So much so that they were able to win the first full-fledged series and greatly improve their standings.

Heroes of Nigma Galaxy

Like most teams, Nigma hit the meta, which is pretty logical. The problem is that this does not bring Nigma the desired result, although it is obvious that the point here is not only and not so much in spades.

The most frequent guest in the season is Tusk (6 games, 33% of wins). Next come Rubick with 5 games and 0 wins, Mars with 1 win in 4 matches, Beastmaster and Lina with 1 win in 3 fights.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams played in the closed qualifiers for The International 2022. Then Puppey left KuroKy without an int, winning with a score of 2-1.

Match outcome

We may be witnessing KuroKy's revenge for last year's grievances. I tend to believe in just such a scenario.

I liked Nigma in the match against OG. The team showed strategies and developments (Naga 4th position, Ammar on Sven and Razor) and won against a rather formidable opponent, but Secret managed to close the tired ITB, which is not really worth the achievement.

Outcome: victory for Nigma Galaxy.
