Prédiction de match: Nigma - Tundra Esports {{Dota 2
DPC 2021: Season 2 - Europe Upper Division (DreamLeague Season 15)We continue to admire the fickleness of the European Dota. The next pair is Nigma/Tundra.
As in the case of Secret/Brame, the match between Nigma and Tundra decides, if not everything, then a lot. At least at stake is a ticket to the Major, as a maximum - a slot in the top division.
It is difficult to say how it will be there after TI, and therefore whether the last two teams will be relegated from the division or not is difficult to say. What can be said for sure is that the TOP-4 of this season are going to Kiev in Major.
Of the four vacancies, only three remained, Aliiance took care of this. And from that we get a higher degree of tension in the Nigma/Tundra confrontation.
Nigma shape
If Brame is the main opening of the season, then the updated Nigma is definitely the second in a row. KuroKy and the company surprise and play in a way that hasn't been done for a long time.
Perhaps the reason is the general "shaken" state of the teams in Europe, or maybe iLTW was intended by Nigma. I do not know which of this is true, but in the last episodes of Nigma show the class.
No wonder the MC himself said that they are now at the TI9 level. I believe in it.
Nigma Latest Results
- Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Alliance with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Brame 2-1
- Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-0
- Defeat OG 2-0
Do not forget that Nigma has a crushing victory over Secret at the beginning of the season. Somewhat remotely, Nigma reminds me of PSG.LGD.
Perhaps because their game is built primarily on the personal performance and "mood" of the players. So far, Nigma is fine with that.
Tundra shape
This is not to say that Tundra has any performance problems. Everything is also at a diligent level, and therefore they show a pretty good game in the upper division.
Unfortunately, a good game is not always enough, and therefore Tundra risk repeating the fate of ViKin.gg last season. Statistics 2-4 will not allow you to stay in the elite echelon.
Tundra Last Games Results
- Lose to Brame 0-2
- Lose at Secret 1-2
- Defeat OG 2-1
- Lose to Liquid with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Alliance with a score of 1-2
Although the Tundra impose a struggle, they rarely succeed in winning. In the match against Nigma, it will be even more difficult to do.
Personal meeting history
In the 2021 season, Nigma and Tundra managed to play an official meeting. It ended in favor of Nigma 2-0.
Match outcome
I sympathize with Tundra, but it seems that their history in the upper division is still interrupted. Now Nigma look confident, and if we consider that victory is extremely important, then I think we will not see any disorder from them.
Bottom line: Nigma wins 2-0.
Nigma and Tundra Esports will play against each other in the first division of DreamLeague Season 15 DPC. Nygme's victory practically guarantees a place in the group stage of WePlay's AniMajor, and Tundra Esports has a ghostly chance of staying in the division.

Match prediction: Tundra Esports vs Nigma in the first division of DreamLeague Season 15 DPC
Subjectively, I don't like the game of the Tundra Esports team at all, they have 3-4 characters in the pool on which they can at least do something, these are: Enigma, Broodmother, Juggernaut.
Nigma has gained a cool form, MinD_ConTroL said in an interview that they feel very confident, like at The International 2019. This is really so and this can be seen in the drafts, they really like to play with Warlock/Dark Willow, on Terrorblade carry, take active heroes Miracle is like Tiny and also don't forget about bans: IO and Nature`s Prophet. Nigma is probably the one and only team in Europe that took Furion to the top three. Hardly anyone doubts their ability to play with NP.
Bookmakers give odds of 1.39 for Nigma and 3.098 for Tundra Esports. I consider the 2.18 to 2: 0 odds from Nigma to be a gift, it is unlikely that Tundra will show anything, they are sitting there on tilt, but this is their last game of the season, they have to give their best, although there are no heroes in the pool, unfortunately.
