We continue to explore the vast competitive world of Dota 2. This time we stop in Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia over the past few months has become a spectacular region with bright battles and high competition. The question here is rather how high-quality these spectacles are, but the fact that they exist is a fact.
The matchup of this review, namely the Nigma Galaxy SEA and T1, could be the quintessence of the above. Both clubs have been showing very specific DotA lately and are likely to “please” us this time as well.
Form T1
T1 will be the nominal favorite in this match. Unbelievable but true.
The only reason why T1 is still credited as a favorite is the team's past accomplishments and successes. We remember very well the rise of T1 in 2021 and a quite significant performance at The International 10, but after that, big problems began.
Composition T1
- Gabby
- Karl
- Kuku
- Xepher
- whitemon
The once strongest team in Southeast Asia, without any exaggeration, now looks like a shadow against the background of its former selves. Here the substitutions played a role, and the general team spirit, which is clearly far from optimal values.
T1 latest match results
- Victory over Motivate. Trust Gaming 2-0
- 2-0 victory over Yangon Galacticos
- Defeated Execration 2-1
- Lost to Orca 0-2
- Lost to Polaris Esports 0-2
Can the first team in the region lose to Orca and the team that has recently been promoted to the top division? The question is rhetorical.
Heroes T1
Most Picked T1 Heroes in 7.31: Gyrocopter (6 matches, 83% win rate), Treant Protector (6 matches, 66% win rate), Death Prophet (6 matches, 50% win rate).
Most successful T1 heroes in patch 7.31: Batrider (3 matches, 100% win rate), Templar Assassin (3 matches, 100% win rate).
Shape Nigma Galaxy SEA
Nigma Galaxy SEA will play as a nominal outsider in this match. There is a reason to think so for bookmakers.
Nigma Galaxy SEA have long been in the public eye in Southeast Asia and regularly make noise in the second divisions and at local events. They have not yet managed to participate in the race of the best, but now, the Nigma Galaxy branch in Southeast Asia has a great chance to prove itself.
Composition of Nigma Galaxy SEA
- inYourdreaM
- AlaCrity
- mizu
- jhocam
- poloson
The Indonesian, together with the Malaysian legionnaire AlaCrity, came a long way last season and managed to break into the top division of Southeast Asia as a reward. There they started having problems almost immediately.

Nigma Galaxy SEA managed to play at a major LAN in Dubai before starting the DPC race. Having not collected any success there, Nigma Galaxy started their performance in the upper division of Southeast Asia with a defeat from Polaris, and then by chance won a technical victory over the formidable BOOM.
Heroes of Nigma Galaxy SEA
Most Picked Heroes in Nigma Galaxy SEA in Patch 7.31: Kunkka (2 matches, 0% win rate), Nyx Assassin (2 matches, 0% win rate), Dark Seer (2 matches, 0% win rate).
So far, Nigma Galaxy SEA has not won in official games.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play official matches with each other. This fight will be the first official face-to-face fight.
Match outcome
You can expect anything in this series. Both teams are now far from the title of "stable", and therefore I tend to believe in 3 cards with an outcome in any direction.
Result: total +2.5.
