The skill level they played on the match against viking, particularly G2 is higher than average, I'd say. They're playing against a broken hero and they beat it. They mostly played on their usual skill level on the major qualifier, but there are some games where mistakes are made, or when you can obviously see the player is getting rusty (see gh earth spirit). And of course, sometimes kuro outdrafted himself. There are times when you simply can see that he is not contributing enough to the game as a pos5, too. If you root for Nigma, you should stop saying discouraging things everytime they slumped. Believe in the players. It's the same thing with matu leaving and them leaving liquid - I believe it's a team decision, and not kuro's alone. Any of them are skilled enough to leave (remember MC carrying ppd to top4 major) if they feel kuro isn't doing the best thing for them, so why don't they leave? IMO the 4 of them minus w33 have incredibly high skill ceiling. I personally don't believe in w33, but I respect the decision made by the rest of the team to believe in w33. Player, and team, isn't always on top form all the time, and they don't need to be for people to support them. If you really support them, do it especially when they're doing badly. That's what a supporter should do. | ||

Until then things that happened this qualifiers will happen often. No matter if they make it to the minor or not. . Any game until TI you can quote me and skip the discussion - you are welcome :D | ||

Yet somehow, when they come together, they loose against teams where they should have an advantage (and not even a small one) in every direct player comparison. For a long while now, it looks to me like there is some sort of inherent anti-synergy with this bunch of players. It seems very obvious when they loose game like those vs FP, but even when they win, it always seems to me like they are fighting against themselves more than versus their enemy's. Like they have to still figure something out, find the secret ingredient for their success. But in all honesty, i don't even remember when i have seen just a straight and solid "in the meta" draft from them. There seems to always have to be at least the one "extra" that makes them either look incredible, or, more often than not in the last time, feel like this endless struggle for their own identity ... | ||

the second game was an outdraft too, they just won on individual performance and outplays.. and yes i call something an outdraft when the disadvantage is above 10 percent. nigma should just do 1 thing to advance - hire a professional drafter like keen who understands the players and also the meta and dota overall. get away from drafting theirselfs and trying to be creative in terms of drafting arc or even clinkz. this is just stupid. they re a freshly build up organization, they need sponsors and a structure in esport, you wont build this up by underperforming and not being interesting for sponsors. | ||

The interview given by Kuro was pretty straight forward saying that they are not in a good shape without a lot of scrims. Seems like they are playing just for fun without having the goal to win this tournament(if it happens anyway, it will be fine) and their ultimate target is to be on fire by the end of the season. | ||
