Alliance defeats Nigma in intense grand finals of StarLadder ImbaTV Minor qualifiers
Alliance emerged victorious in a nail-biting showdown against Nigma in the grand finals of the StarLadder ImbaTV Minor qualifiers. The epic five-game series kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
Nigma and Alliance battled it out fiercely, with each team winning two games before heading into the fifth and deciding game.
In the late game, Nigma secured an advantage for themselves, taking down multiple Roshans and barracks. They were on the brink of victory, ready for a final push into Alliance’s base to claim the mega creeps.
However, Nigma’s eagerness proved to be their downfall. They made a risky move, diving into Alliance’s territory without their Black King Bars and ended up getting surrounded by the entire Alliance team. This blunder created a golden opportunity for Alliance to turn the tables and secure a win.
With this win, Alliance solidified their position as one of the top teams in Europe, a region known for its talented esports players. They will head to the StarLadder ImbaTV Minor as one of the favorites and have the chance to qualify for the Major if they emerge victorious.
On the other hand, Nigma’s fans may be disappointed with the unexpected ending to the series. Despite their strong performance throughout the tournament, luck was not on their side this time.
Nigma has struggled to regain their former glory since their impressive run at The International 2019. After taking a break at the beginning of the season, they faced a grueling journey through open qualifiers and the Leipzig Major, only managing a top-12 finish.
With this loss, Nigma will miss out on the third round of the 2019-20 Dota Pro Circuit. Meanwhile, Alliance looks forward to competing in the StarLadder ImbaTV Minor in Ukraine, which kicks off on March 5.
