Прогноз на матч: Nigma Galaxy - LGD Gaming | Dota 2

In the second round of the upper bracket of the playoffs, Nigma and PSG.LGD will meet for reaching the WePlay AniMajor small final. Fight of the titans?

Both teams have come a long way in this tournament. Both clubs advanced to the upper bracket from the group stage, which is already worth a lot.

Both teams outplayed their opponents without a chance in the first round of the playoffs. And now they have to decide who will play in the small final of the entire championship.

Many people say that this fight is a rehearsal for the grand final. One can easily agree with this, considering the conditions in which the clubs are now.

But there will be one winner. Who will become them - we are trying to figure it out.

PSG.LGD Form

Although anything can happen in this match, PSG.LGD is seen as the nominal favorite of the meeting. There are several reasons for this.

PSG.LGD is perhaps one of the most (if not the most) stable team in the world. Last season, they reached the TOP-3 Major, having passed the Wild Card, this season, having already passed the group stage, the team is one step away from repeating the result.

PSG.LGD had a problem with early games. They rolled in slowly, but very quickly "caught up" along the way.

PSG.LGD latest matches results

• Defeat Team Liquid 2-0
• Beat TNC Predator 2-0
• Defeat Evil Geniuses 2-0
• Draw against Vici Gaming 1-1
• Defeat Alliance 2-0

As we can see, for PSG.LGD everything is exactly against whom to play. By the way, it is worth noting Ame, who plays very broadly, adapting to the needs of the team and performing on almost every hero.

Nigma shape

Although Nigma is nominally an outsider of the match, they look menacing at this tournament. Nigma is not a bastard.

Even from the Wild Card round, they declared their readiness to win and so far they are doing an excellent job with it. KuroKy, playing one of the best tournaments of his career, leads his team to victory in every confrontation.

"Candy-bouquet" period for the eyes, and such Nigma, with such Miracle, Kuro and MC - a very terrible force. Effectiveness in confirmation.

Nigma Latest Results

• 0-2 defeat to TNC Predator
• Defeat Vici Gaming 2-0
• Draw against EG 1-1
• Beat Beastcoast 2-0
• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2-0

The only thing you worry about when you look at Nigmu is - will they have enough agility? Still, the team plays with the Wild Card-round and the strength is not limitless.

Personal meeting history

The teams have previously played each other twice this season. For the first time, PSG.LGD beat Nigma with a 2-0 substitution at the Singapore Major, but at this tournament the fight ended in a draw.

The outcome of the fight

It is very difficult to predict the winner of this match. My mind is still for PSG.LGD, but with my heart, as they say, I want to support Nigma.

Also, I have a strong feeling that the match will end on two maps. I don’t know what it’s connected with, but for some reason I think that there will be a one-card game, in one direction.

Let's hope that towards Nigma (I would like to see them at TI). But we definitely look at live.

Exodus: victory for PSG.LGD.

PSG.LGD and Nigma have deservedly reached the second round of the upper bracket and will play each other today at Weplay Animajor 2021.

PSG.LGD had previously defeated Alliance, and Nigma was stronger than Virtus.pro. Based on the results achieved by their rivals in the tournament, we can conclude that both VP and Alliance were out of shape. On the other hand, PSG.LGD and Nigma have prepared very well for the current patch.

Match prediction: Nigma vs PSG.LGD in Weplay Animajor 2021 playoffs

Both teams are worthy to reach the grand finals, and, in my opinion, one of them will take the Weplay Animajor 2021 championship title. Nigma are going from the Wildcard stage, from replays with iG they reached PSG.LGD in the second round of the upper bracket. The Chinese from LGD just showed themselves cool in the group stage and continued to enchant in the playoffs. The match is about 50 to 50%, but I am more impressed by the PSG.LGD team, they play more confidently, plus I don't really believe in iLTW.

Nigma should be wary of their supports: Wintern Wyvern, IO, and you shouldn't play hard Timbersaw/Dragon Knight/Dark Seer. Regarding PSG.LGD, don't forget about Broodmother/Legion Commander/Terrorblade/Specter/Faceless Void.

Bookmakers give odds of 2.12 for Nigma and 1.788 for PSG.LGD. I advise you to believe in the victory of the Chinese team, I expect to see 3 cards, but they can also close 2: 0 if NothingToSay comes together.

Prediction: PSG.LGD will beat Nigma in the playoffs of Weplay Animajor 2021 - 1.788 odds

A very interesting match awaits us, it is approximately at the International level, but one will win here, and this is a fact. Nigma Esports show a good level of play, but they have been playing from the very beginning of this tournament and this may negatively affect their further success. They have already shown a lot of things and may be tired, we saw how hard it was for them in the match with Vici Gaming, where they gave the card, and it certainly won't be easier with LGD.

LGD show who is the boss, I have said many times that the collective tag plays an important role in this organization. The former Ehome moved to LGD and started to put up with everyone, the guys train a lot and achieve the results they need. They act competently in terms of movement around the map, take strong heroes and do not hesitate to brazenly go towards their goal. I see no reason not to bet on them in this match.

PSG.LGD will win this match.
