Nigma wins Congratulations to Nigma for defeating RNG 3-1 in the Grand Finals of the Bukovel Minor! Nigma somehow pulled through in game 4, coming back from an over 30k net worth disadvantage. Incredible plays from MinD_ControL and GH were abound, so this is definitely a game worth watching in the vods. Nigma Discussion Thread Liquipedia Link (will have vods) | ||

2.I've been wondering how much Neutral Items impacted the measure of Networth. Of course, it isn't the best way to measure advantage, as some heroes depends less on gold and have different timings, but still, looks like Networth has been less trustful on this Minor. Am I the only one who got this impression? | ||

Am I the only one who got this impression? Neutral items are no joke for poor heroes. The thing is there is a net worth difference (as the other team also has neutral items), but that difference matters less as slots get filled out. In previous patches, those slots weren't so full but this patch has so many items to go around. The invisible net worth actually makes a big difference for bounty calculations too. | ||

Game 2 and 4 of the grand final may already be candidates for match of the year. The resilience from Nigma to not give up although you are that far behind was just stunning. GH played a phenomenal series and MC is showing over and over again why he is apparently the best DS-player in this game. Nerf incoming...again! A pity that RNG is not part of the Major as well, pretty sure they would have been able to make some upsets. Time to adjust my sleeping schedule that were some long days. | ||

In any case, they have a whole major to prove how much luck was a part of it. Always a question of defining a "throw", but the only real throw and wtf-moment for me was probably in game 2, when Setsu jumps his QoP on the highground near the Roshpit - without any support from his team - gets surrounded by all of Nigma and destroyed. And I think he didn't have buyback! What was that please? | ||

Nobody knows better than Nigma what a farmed Drow can do to your base if she is being unattended for one minute when you have messed up a highground-push...from their seven losses, four were against a Drow lineup. | ||

As dumb as it might sound: With 40k advantage you can get 2 Meteor Hammer and 2 Aether lens and just hammer their structures from behind. | ||

I am happy for them, GG Nigma! But also a little sad for RNG, hope they dont disband, they are close before becoming strong. | ||

Not to surprised, they did throw games the whole tournament, on the flip side they look the best most of it. They remind me of old Alliance. | ||

That's a weird solution but at least an answer to the question I've been wondering for the last 24 hours, so thanks. | ||

You next to never see it in sports. The closest I can think of is Gerrard slipping against Chelsea but it's mostly used to troll Liverpool fans, no one questions City deserving the title that year. | ||
