Yes, seeing now the second game it is so awful disjointed the way they are playing. Minor here we come..hopefully.

Can you play at this level, with players of this caliber and have results and performances like that without it taking a heavy toll on you mental stamina?
I honestly dont think so. This must be so draining for them.

Don't know...second game lost as well. So tomorrow they need a 4:0 to have a shot at the upper bracket, but I can see already Matu giggling and slapping his former team mates out of this qualifiers.

Looks true that he was indeed not the problem.

They started with the 2 weakest teams in the group and went 1-3. At this rate they should be lucky to make it to the minor. What a disappointing performance so far.

Let's not even entertain the idea that they have a shot at the upper bracket.

They don't and I hope there's no Nigma fan in the world foolish enough to think that they'll make it.

Would be good if they announce beforehand if they take qualifiers seriously and have practiced for it or if it is just for fun, otherwise it is just depressing to see how they play.

Well...tomorrow it can only get better as we have already reached the bottom.

I've avoided saying this for a while now but Nigma needs a sports psychologist and all of them need to be in therapy or something. Everything wrong with them feels like a mental issue and it's been going on for so long with no word on how they're actively trying to actually fix the issue, it's frustrating. The skill is there but most of time, not much else is there. Two breaks in a row have completely failed to refresh the team.

If they don't want to fix their mental problems, the least they could do is disband and do each other a favor.

Hvent watched a single game, seems like i didn't miss much. But my guess is that the team will blame it on MC.

Oh wow, just realized in the current format that if Nigma don't make top 2 out of this group, they're out of the Major qualifiers immediately. It's rough times...

i guess we'll see. nigma recently (actually for quite a while now) seems to be a team that can beat anyone, but also is capable of losing to literally anyone. :/

Matu farming away on Medusa and winning an unfavorable matchup against MK at midlane.

Anybody saying that W33 is the better midlaner gets a big middle finger right into the face when watching this game.

Any initiation is getting whiffed by Snapfire who just cookie out a stunned target from MK and AA ult...

Looking dire again. :/

EDIT: MC having a day off as well. Missing coils and questionable itemization. Why going Travels first on Puck instead of a blink or Veil?

Anybody find anything that brings joy to their life that can possibly make up for the absolute depression that Nigma gives them?

Dude i will say this one more time just and especially for you. Nigma don't care for anything but TI. That is why they sometimes play weird ( i got to admit this time it is too much) and are losing left right and center. They don't need money, they've won literally everything but second TI. And they are underestimating how people are preparing for the game, and how much opponents are preparing. I am pretty sure that they don't play dota togheter for more than 2-3 scrims / week.
Also noone else thinks about that but runing a org is no joke - thats why Nigma are with 1 foot out of my hearth - trying to do "business" things when you have to play dota... and greeding never leads to success, at least not long term. And Kuro has 0 experience on runing an org. That takes a lot time and energy and you just don't have the juice left in you to actually prepare for dota.
However it is true that they look worse than usual. Maybe this is the end, maybe they will find a way out who knows. But do what i did after TI - just choose a different team that will actually play dota before TI, and when TI comes root for Nigma. The other way around is called mazochism.

I'll start becoming a Secret fan at the Major, I guess. It won't even be hard to choose between Nigma and Secret because only one of them will be there.

Is it bad that I'm super fucking happy to see Nigma lose to MATU?

I don't know, but it genuinely fills me with joy

Especially after hearing MATU say that it's good to know he wasn't the problem.
