Prédiction de match: Nigma - Evil Geniuses {{Dota 2
WePlay AniMajor 2021It's getting hotter in Kiev. There are 6 teams left in the tournament and the degree of stress is close to maximum.
Today at the tournament there will be 3 straight-through meetings at once. The first one will feature Nigma and EG.
Two famous clubs with titled players and only 1 winner. This fight is very important in the overall race at TI.
Yesterday Nigma were two steps away from the coveted direct trip to Stockholm, but PSG.LGD did not let them move forward and were thrown one step back. To get to TI10 Nigma, you need to get into the TOP-2, and for this you need to beat EG.
EG, on the other hand, does not oblige you to "tear and throw." Even after the first season, the team de facto guaranteed themselves a trip to Sweden, and now only ambitions push them to give their best.
Nigma shape
I will not divide into favorites and outsiders in this match, but let the bookmakers do it. Let's start our review with Nigma, as they fell into the lower bracket only yesterday.
It was quite expected that Nigma would lose to PSG.LGD, but still Kuro and the company imposed a worthy fight on the future winner of the tournament. Nigma played quite well, and on map 3 they were probably let down by the peak in some places.
Nigma Latest Results
- Defeat Vici Gaming 2-0
- Draw with EG 1-1
- Beat Beastcoast 2-0
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
Nigma play without deviating from their traditions: if they give Io, they take him away without looking, they love the very meta Winter Wyvern, Lion, Mars. Cows prefer Invoker for Miracle, Luna/Specter for iLTW.
Evil Geniuses form
EG has clearly joined the bottom bracket and seems to be doing pretty well here. Two rounds behind, but then the level of opponents increases disproportionately.
So far, EG has managed to beat NoPing and TNC with some problems (although 1 map of the match against the Filipinos is an example of total annihilation). Fly and company play all their games in the playoffs in full bo3.
EG Recent Results
- Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
- Draw against Nigma 1-1
- Draw against Liquid 1-1
- Defeat NoPing eSports 2-1
- Beat TNC Predator 2-1
At the EG tournament, they show the most unusual Dota. They rate Viper like no one else, pick Earth Spirit, carry Nature Prophet, Naga Siren, Bloodseeker, Razor off. line.
EG is a team with a tempo and this is the tempo they should take on Nigma. But whether it will work out.
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams managed to play 3 official matches. So far, the score is not in favor of Nigma: EG won 2 fights, and the last one within the group stage WePlay AniMajor ended in a draw.
The outcome of the fight
In the playoffs, “evil geniuses” play quite straightforwardly: they focus on maximum impact from the lines, often putting themselves on a timer. Nigma, on the other hand, plays a more "standard", meta Dota in the tournament.
In terms of personal performance, these groups seem to me to be equal, and therefore in their case I will start from motivation and morality. In this regard, Nigma looks brighter.
Outcome: victory for Nigma.

Match prediction: Nigma vs. Evil Geniuses in the Weplay Animajor 2021 playoffs
An important game for Nigma, each victory at Weplay Animajor 2021 quietly brings them closer to a direct invite to The International 10. They really need Vici Gaming to take off, and Nigma to take a place above them and this should be at least top-2...
Bookmakers give odds of 1.498 for Nigma and 2.75 for Evil Geniuses. EG gives everyone 1 card, which is amazing, okay with TNC Predator it's still excusable, but with NoPing e-sports, it's unrealistic. Nigma understood the meta well, they have a lot of their own templates and working strategies. EG only plays well in the mid lane, the carry makes a lot of mistakes, as does iceiceice in the difficult one.
I advise you to bet on 2: 1 from Nigma, the match promises to be very cool, both teams have not played so early and therefore this can also affect.
Prediction: Nigma will outplay Evil Geniuses in the playoffs of Weplay Animajor 2021 - coefficient 1.498; with a risk of 2: 1 from Nigma - ratio 3.19
The path of Evil Geniuses will end precisely at this match, with all due respect to this team, I will not bet on them. Yesterday they played too hesitantly against TNC, the guys could have lost that meeting at all, but due to the correct actions of some players and the opponents' mistakes, they still managed to win that match. Today they have to play with Team Nigma, with a team that has been playing very confidently since the WildCard stage, Kuroky taught ILTW to play cool on the map and thanks to their player on the center lane they calmly win their games. I recommend that you do not forget about live bets, I am sure that the odds will be sweet for this match and due to the draft you can easily decide who to give preference to in the match.
Team Nigma will win this match.
