Nigma Stuns Team Secret in WeSave! Charity Play
In a thrilling matchup at the WeSave! Charity Play, Nigma emerged victorious against Team Secret in the European bracket, securing a 2-0 win. Nigma had previously defeated Secret in a reverse sweep at the Tug of War: Mad Moon tournament, indicating their resurgence.
The First Game: Nigma’s Relentless Aggression
The first game saw Nigma dominate with Miracle-‘s Riki, supported by Io and Clockwerk. They constantly targeted Secret’s heroes, overpowering them. However, Secret remained in the game with zai’s Bounty Hunter and MATUMBAMAN’s Wraith King.
A Hail Mary Throne Push
Despite Secret’s advantage, GH’s tactical decision to Relocate into the enemy base forced Secret to teleport back, delaying their push. Nigma, recognizing their inability to defend, went for a desperate throne push and successfully destroyed Secret’s Ancient.
Miracle- and GH Shine Again in Game Two
In the second game, Miracle- and GH continued to excel, this time with Nature’s Prophet and Nyx Assassin. Nigma’s strategy heavily relied on Miracle-‘s mobility and net worth advantage to secure victory against Secret’s Arc Warden.
Nigma’s success against one of the world’s best teams is surprising, considering their recent lackluster performance. They failed to qualify for the ESL One Los Angeles Major and had only three wins in the group stage. However, their recent victories show a rejuvenated team ready to dominate the competitive scene once again.
Nigma will now face Team Liquid in the European finals, and the winner will advance to play against the CIS champion. With the coronavirus pandemic impacting the esports circuit, fans can look forward to more exciting Dota 2 action in the coming weeks.
