EPTBeating their nemesis OG in such a convincing way should really give them a boost. Let´s cross fingers that they will make the last step as well and secure their invite to the Major...ideally to the group stage to avoid the expected bloodbath in the wildstage-round.

Only way they will make something out of all this is for them to go beyond low. Maybe next year they can work into not having a rollercoaster consistency. Even OG/Secret/Alliance/Liquid don't look half as bad even when they get dismantled. Shame on Nigma | ||

A team that has a better draft, better lanes, and manages to lose and lose again?

They've performed badly for so long, they might even be numb to it. They've hit beyond low before last year when they failed to qualify for the last Minor/Major and they still stuck together as a team. How much more shameless could they possibly be? | ||

I don't think they feel shame either. To me, that's an issue. They have days of glory and days so bad that I feel my half-a-K MMR could compete. The fact that they are not ashamed of the lows, that it feels that they take it as a "oh well, whatever" is the problem. They should see those lows and jump on them, learn from them. Not allow them to happen over and over again. What was it? Was it just bad calls? Maybe the draft? Or something that happened mid-game? I am tired to see the same issue happen 3 games in a row. And I felt the same when they played Brame. If they don't wake up they will be out of the Major. And honestly I hope they do. Give them a bit of extra time to prepare for open qualies. After all now it's pretty much the only way they are getting to TI. | ||

Nigma looked much better this season that was actual the only series where they have been outplayed and outclassed in all three games of a series(although claiming a win in the second game). Iltw needs to work on his positioning tho, dying out of position as a Jugg at the same spot several times in game 1 is more than questionable. He redeemed himself in game 2 with his Ember-performance and the loss in game 3 was not his fault as well, giving Kuro the farm priority was not the right move, three more hits on the egg against a solar crested Jugg looks meh. Would have preferred that GH would have get his Aghs to have two bkb/spinning-piercing disables and more cogs to keep them away from the egg. Also MC dying on the bot lane without buyback was a really big mistake, he showed himself far too long on the lane and did not micro his treant properly to see if someone is coming for him. | ||

Overall I'd say Nigma lost the drafts in game 1 and 3 and won game 2. Miracle had a bad series, but also was drafted quite early with the exception of game 1. MC didn't have a good series either and didn't have that excuse. | ||

I would love some more info about that and some updates about the bootcamp. Do they rent a place or how does this take place usually? | ||

Considering that they noticeably lacked lockdown vs three mobile heroes it was pretty close until eleven had that huge refresher reveal. If he didn't get that play nigma likely take a rax and possibly 2, but that play gave IG the lead and they had better late. Overall 1:1 against likely a top 4 team in this really stacked wildcard is imo decent, especially considering that they ´came close game 1 and crushed game 2. Miracle looks beasty btw. | ||

Glad they made it through in the end albeit in dramatic fashion. Hopefully this will give them momentum for the group stage | ||

[Edit]: Okay. They lost to TNC. Kuro needs to fix his drafting. It's such an issue this tournament and I understand this is the group stage but they were/are so close to securing a comfortable spot for themselves. Yet they choose to do such wonky shit. | ||

Which is a shame, because GH looks like one of the best supports in the world and Miracle has been on fire. Hell Kuro himself had some amazing in-game performances and it's not like ILTW and MC aren't pulling their weight. That being said at times they are imo too 5-man heavy, they get outfarmed by pretty much every team I've seen them play against. One of the reasons they look great when they are ahead and can close out the map, but if the game drags their chances to win plummet. | ||
