Interestingly, Team Secret often take Invoker for Nisha to the center, against Nigma Galaxy they will definitely play Nisha, since Crystallis simply cannot cope with the pressure, he understands that he does not take out such a level, he is an ordinary puber with a pool of 2- 3 heroes, even on which it is impossible to win. Nisha needs a hard mid carry that can close cards solo like he did in the DPC season.
Here the match is completely 50 to 50; the main battle will be for Phoenix/Chen/Marci/Death Prophet; I hope Nigma will rate Faceless Void and don't forget about the Dawnbreaker + Techies/just Techies line. There's also IO from GH not to be missed. It's very, very interesting to see what the draft teams come up with.
I thought for a long time who will win here, on the one hand, Nigma flies off goonsquad, but there they gave 3 times Faceless Void and Chen; defeated the rather weak DGG Esports and Brame in the bottom, the latter even managed to give the card again with Faceless Void. Team Secret lost the map against Slark on the carry and Razor in the offlane. It can be seen that Slark is very cool in Southeast Asia, Nigma Galaxy should definitely understand the strength of this hero and not give Faceless Void away.
Under pressure, neither Resolut1on, nor Zayac, nor Crystallis will be able to play normally, I have little faith in them, especially in their carries. Nigma Galaxy plays cool under pressure, questions are only about SumaiL, if he flies off in the mid lane without a chance, then there may be problems for Nigma.
This is an incredibly interesting and important match, according to the balance of power:
Nisha > SumaiL
Crystallis < Miracle
MinD_ContRoL = Resolut1on (under pressure from MC, + Primal Beast in the pool from MC and Enigma from Resolut1on)
Zayac < GH
KuroKy = Puppey
The whole season I believed in Team Secret, in games against Entity I was always for them, but they let me down again and again. It feels like 1 mistake will decide everything in the series, a mistake in the draft, a mistake from Crystallis somewhere on the map and that's it. I am for Nigma Galaxy, everything is drafting and laning, team play is better with Nigma.
