Nigma Galaxy without Miracle lost to a group underdog
The debut match for Nigma Galaxy in the DPC Winter was a failure. Without their main midlaner, ??Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi, the team lost to the season's outsider Team Tickles that had odds were around 3.0 before the match.
The absence of ??Miracle and the sudden player substitution by coach, ??Roman "rmN-" Paley, incredibly damaged the team. During the 2 maps, it was clear that the coach wasn't ready to play as a midlaner: he made many key mistakes and didn't help the other lines.
On the first map, Nigma Galaxy severely underestimated their opponent. The team picked Dazzle for midlane, who had appeared only 7 times in the team drafts in the current patch. The map lasted 30:55 minutes.
Nigma Galaxy took a more standard draft on the second map, but it didn't help. Team Tickles managed to take a considerable advantage due to a few lucky joinings by team midlaner ??Miroslav "BOOM" Bičan. After that, the team confidently brought the map to victory. From Nigma Galaxy, we can note the performance of ??Igor "iLTW" Filatov. He was the only one to hold the same net worth as his opponents on both maps.
According to information from Nigma Galaxy, ??Miracle won't be back for another week, which could cost them another defeat, as they are scheduled to face Tundra Esports on December 7.
