To be honest, I don't think they would have made much progress even if they get into the minor (by some chance major as well).

Last time they did it & got what 150 points!!!! Don't think that's worth unless they solve issues they are having (mental, chemistry, whatever..) during these tournaments. Better take break for few weeks and start fresh (not necessarily player wise but mentally) in next qualifiers. I hope this is a wakeup call if they even needed one.

Alliance and Liquid are not bad teams not good but think disband is bit drastic.
Can't think of many free agents and think getting players from other teams can be hard. GBK is having problems with Gambit so that would be my target or Hector if they can make a deal for him.

100% a throw. No idea why mc fully committed when the gank was messed up. That aside, W33 still doesn't seem fully in sync with the rest of the team. It just feels like they're all playing separate games.

What I saw from them on Day 1 was decent, I think the drafts were actually better than before. It didn't feel like it was two patches behind and they lost the Winner's Match in a 3 game series. This is far better than their other long list of horrendous group stage performance. For Nigma, it's not a miraculous performance, but let's be realistic, they could've looked way worse because they have a talent for shitting the bed in groups.

That is surprisingly accurate. lol , when they formed nigma , expectations were quite high and rightly so but Kuro has to step up big time here.

Seems like they have fun. The games looked better compared to the Majors, but okay they have nothing to lose. Tomorrow then against Dendi and hopefully another series against Secret.

From know on Mind Control will be remembered as the penis artist. Nevermind winning TI or genocide remarks.

That is really a strange format, does not matter if you lose the first or second round of the UB because you are still landing at the first round of the LB.

One game away from the match against Secret, doubt that any other Team except of Secret will give Nigma Tiny/Io in this tournament.

nigma missing an opportunity to go to the lower bracket. uncharacteristic of them.

oooh i get it - this way they can play one extra game because you can play an extra UB game before going to the first round of the LB.. (yeah, what a weird format)

Yep, wining now, losing later gives you extra match easy free skrims.

Uff....meepoed in that first game. Would have been much more interesting if they did retreat after all the buybacks in that engagement at Secrets base...but yeah...Miracle decided to jump in and die and shortly after your base is gone because nobody is having buyback. -.-

EDIT: What a showing now in the second game...when was the last time Secret got dominated that hard although they had the better draft with their last pick Brood? Team Rollercoaster...at least this must give them some confidence.

Mind Control played mid waaaaayyyy better than the last time he went against a brood, and he was a beastmaster last time. He is the one player i see most improvement this tourney, wich is great because he was playing such a weak dota.

Miracle single handedly throwing Nigma games by himself once again. Can't even blame the rest of the team when there's only one glaring problem that jumps in solo vs 5 people twice

Yeah...that sums it up perfectly. These tendencies to play way to cocky is really getting out of control and cost them more games than actually winning it.

They throw so much, it's no wonder why they can't qualify for anything. Completely ridiculous, Miracle needs to get it together.

despite what everyone thinks , i would say drafting was much better and play style also better , sure mistakes were made , but overall tier 1 performance . But they cant play 4P1 forever , so i really hope they can play different playstyles when needed.

I definitely agree they're very strong now which is why all my negative comments are directed towards the guy who dove 1v5 twice in a row which completely lost them the game. They would've won if the guy who won't be attending DPC events for a long while just played smart.

This was an awesome series. Finally some Nigma games that they actually decide to play dota. Couple of mistakes can and will happen. When playing against teams so good you will lose sometimes. And miracle had to be aggressive so they can end the game. Incase you missed what happened when lesh and morph got items.

You can go agreessive when your team is behind you and not when you are completely out of position close to the enemies base....but at least they put up a fight and pushed Secret to their limits.
