With the performance that Nigma pulled yesterday against OG, I think they have the chance to retain Division 1. They lose badly on the first map but were able to return the favor to OG on maps 2 and 3. If they can sustain that kind of aggressiveness against Entity and Secret, they will be able to pull wins and retain their current division. Team Secret was able to win their first match, but that was only against ITB. Nigma was able to beat OG which is way better than ITB. I think between Nigma and Team Secret, Nigma will win. A close match but Nigma has the upper hand.
That's also what I'm hearing about the fans of both teams, it seems that Nigma is much better than this DPC season than Team Secret. But still, we'll see them beat each other within the next few hours and that means that one of them should be sent back to division 2 or if it's Team Secret then it's going to be a new atmosphere to them.
Nigma has no problem being relegated to Division 2 since they spend most of their tournament on this division during the second half last year but they dominated completely Division 2 which makes them come back again easily. I believe Team Secret going there will be bad since they are still on adjustment phase due to the current roster change.
ATF and Sumail are very good carry on Nigma. They can beat Entity and Team Secret if they can maintain the performance level that they show on OG fight. I’m surprised how strong all the teams on WEU right now. Very fresh roster on most of the team yet they are still very strong based on the recent matches.
Yeah, they've been there and even missed the most recent TI while sitting there. While Nisha who's a former team Secret mid laner is now guaranteed a slot for the Lima major with his new team, the Team Liquid. His former team is really struggling a lot.
