Прогноз на матч: Nigma Galaxy - Team Liquid | Dota 2

Good to see you back at EGamersWorld. We continue our review of what's happening in the biggest commercial tournament of the season DreamLeague S19 with a betting tee on the Team Liquid vs Nigma Galaxy match to be played on day 3 of the games.

The preparation for this analysis was spontaneous as NGX got into the tournament at the last minute. Watching the teams play in the West European regional league was enough, though, to draw some conclusions.

We invite you to take a look at the teams' playing conditions and see what will happen in this clash. It's pretty obvious, but there's no denying it.

Team Liquid, Western Europe's strongest team at the game

We'll open the showdown with an analysis of Team Liquid's form. They're the odds-on favourite to win this game, and that's hard to deny.

The odds on Team Liquid's victory are estimated at around 1.6. Bookmakers are in no hurry to smash OG because of the format of the meeting.

In Bo2 anything can happen and the Liquid could also give up the card. However, even with this format, the Liquid look like a potential winner with a sizeable lead.

First and foremost, that lead is ensured by Liquid's results in the domestic league, where the Liquid are confident of winning. They won the league in the first round without giving up a match, won it in the second, but have already given up a card.

The Liquid are also a top team on the international stage. In the Lima Major 2023 the team took the 2nd place, but then a forced stand-in got involved: Boxi didn't finish the championship due to illness and had to be urgently changed during the final top-seeded play-offs nevertheless Liquid made it to the final, once again emphasizing the stability within the squad.

The stability is also evident in DreamLeague Season 19, where Team Liquid won 1 series and drew 1. The stability can be seen on a personal level.

• Team Liquid line-up: miCKe, Nisha, zai, Boxi, inSaNia.

The Liquid players on their position show a high level of performance. Especially miCKe, the team's headliner, looks lively.

Another big plus for Team Liquid is the team's wide pool. Liquid's players are capable of performing almost any hero.

Team Liquid's most popular heroes

Death Prophet and Rubick are the most frequent appearances in spades. Both characters have been taken 4 times each and have a 100% winning percentage.

Disruptor, Beastmaster and Tusk appeared a similar number of times. They each won 3 matches out of 4 appearances.

Additionally, Team Liquid can take Sniper, Pugna and other unpopular characters, as they did in the series against Tundra, which Liquid ended up closing 2-0.

Liquid don't need to work too hard to win. Team Nish-i already outplayed NGX during the regular season and will have no problem doing so now.

If you believe in a win for Team Liquid, bet on that with odds in the region of 1.6. If you want to see a miracle, check out the Nigma Galaxy form.

Nigma Galaxy - a random guest at the tournament

Opposing Team Liquid in their attempts to earn themselves points in the group stage will be Nigma Galaxy. The team will play here in underdog status.

Bookmakers confirm the pre-match situation. The odds of Nigma Galaxy winning are negligible and are at around 9.5.

One should not be surprised by this state of affairs, as Nigma Galaxy are fully justified in approaching the match with such a margin.

Nigma Galaxy's performance in the DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division regular leagues is worth a start. The KuroKy team managed to maintain their place in the league in the first round, but at the recently concluded DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour II, Nigma went to the second division.

There were a number of changes to the squad to continue. Miracle, who missed the whole season, returned to the team, but he couldn't solve the immediate problems.

• Nigma Galaxy lineup for DreamLeague S19: Miracle, SumaiL, MC, GH, KuroKy.

The stagnation stretching from the first round of the DPC continues with the arrival of Miracle. There is no change in the situation, exactly as there are no fresh ideas in spades.

Nigma Galaxy's most popular characters

Among the most chosen Nigma Galaxy characters in the second round of DPC 2023: Shadow Demon (2 matches, 50% wins), Beastmaster (2 matches, 50% wins). Drow Ranger, Snapfire, Death Prophet also appeared 2 times each, but failed to win any matches.

At DreamLeague Season 19 Nigma tried hyper carry, took Morphling for the returning Miracle, but all in vain. The Ledge team had Beastcoast and OG.

Nigma weren't supposed to make it to this tournament, but coincidentally will play in it. They will take the place of PSG.LGD and try to show their game on the international stage, where the standard way with Major qualifiers cannot reach for a season.

If you believe in the success of Nigma in a slightly modified shell and you like risk - bet on a Nigma Galaxy victory for 9. Not ready for such a gamble, go read the text below.

History of head-to-head encounters

The teams played each other in the course of DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division in two rounds. Both matches ended in a win for NGX, however the latter series was more combative and Nigma managed to pick up the card there.

Predicted result of the Nigma Galaxy vs Team Liquid match

In this game, Liquid will celebrate the victory. They have nothing to lose points on nothing as the stakes are at the biggest commercial tournament of the year.

Given all the pros and cons, Nigma Galaxy should have no chance at all in this matchup.

Bottom line: victory for Team Liquid.
