We continue to observe high-quality Dota at OGA Dota PIT Europe/CIS Season 5. To tell the truth, not always high-quality, but spectacular.
In the second round of the playoffs, we will face a confrontation between the European giants. Team Secret will play against Nigma Galaxy.
Once upon a time, the battles of these tags caused delight, but I'm afraid now times have changed a lot. Previously, the grass was greener and Nigma did not get tired of the pillbox.
However, perhaps this is only a subjective judgment, and Nigma will still show the class. We will check this on December 16, when the teams face off in a head-to-head battle.
In the meantime, we are trying to figure out what to expect from the fight, and who will advance further along the grid.
Team Secret uniform
Team Secret will play as the clear favorite in this match. There are no questions about this.
Two weeks later at the DPC and after the first playing day at OGA Dota PIT Europe/CIS Season 5, we made sure that Secret are still the same. The defeat from OG was, perhaps, an accident, and now Secret are overclocked.
Team Secret Roster
- Nisha
- SumaiL
- iceiceice
- YapzOr
- Puppey
We are well acquainted with these five and we will not dwell on them again. Nisha has successfully returned to the carry, and SumaiL is still doing great in the mid.

- Defeat Team Liquid 2-0
Yesterday's match against Liquid once again strengthened confidence in the viability of the updated Secret, which, apparently, do not plan to play at OGA Dota PIT Europe/CIS Season 5 down their sleeves.
Nigma Galaxy Heroes
Top Picked Team Secret Heroes in Patch 7.30: Magnus (7 matches, 71% win), Monkey King (5 matches, 100% win), Snapfire (5 matches, 60% win).
The most successful Team Secret heroes: Monkey King (5 matches, 100% win), Slardar (3 matches, 100% win), Templar Assassin (3 matches, 100% win).
Nigma Galaxy Shape
Nigma Galaxy will play as the catch-up in this match. Fully deserved.
Yesterday Nigma Galaxy played their first match with their full squad. Miracle is back and the team finally won the first streak in patch 7.30.
Nigma Galaxy Roster
- iLTW
- Miracle
- MinD_ContRoL
- Gh
- KuroKy
Miracle is doing well judging by yesterday's games. But here the question arises in the rest of Nigma's members.
A hard streak against Alliance is not what you expect from a well-played team that hasn't changed its roster for almost a year.
Nigma Galaxy Latest Results
- Defeat Team Liquid 2-1

- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2
- Defeat Alliance 2-1
And nevertheless, this is a victory, no matter how difficult it was. There is a much more difficult opponent ahead.
Nigma Galaxy Heroes
Most played Nigma Galaxy heroes in patch 7.30: Monkey King (3 matches, 33% win), Abaddon (2 matches, 100% win), Puck (2 matches, 100% win).

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not face each other in official matches. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
After the matches of the first round of OGA Dota PIT Europe/CIS Season 5, I can't imagine how Nigma beat Secret. Now they are far from the level of the TIR-1 team.
Outcome: Secret victory.
