Nigma Galaxy beat Team Liquid 2-1 in the fifth week of the Dota Dreamleague. Liquid was unbeaten in series earlier this season. With the important victory, Nigma preserves his chances of qualifying for the Dota major.
"Everything went great in the first game, but we lost an important team fight and that's why we lost the game," Nigmas support player Maroun "GH" Merhej said in an interview after the game. "Then we just tried to play the team fights better.»
In order to go to the upcoming Dota major, Nigma had to win the series against Liquid. Now it depends on the upcoming series of OG and Tundra Esports for Nigma, who is sitting in fifth place in the table, as well as on the outcome of her own series against Coolguys.
Their relegation was sealed by Team Secret on the same matchday. Secret is on a par with Tundra Esports and Nigma with a score of 3:3. Despite the defeat, Team Liquid is already qualified with a 5: 1 victory and the first place in the table.
