Tour 2 WEU DPC: OG recovers after dominant win against Nigma Galaxy

The third and final week of Tour 2 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) regional leagues is here. The standings are solidifying and while some teams are fighting for the Berlin Major slots, some are on the brink of relegation. But lo and behold, this day pits together these two very popular organizations - OG vs Nigma Galaxy.

OG is currently stuck at the bottom of the Western European (WEU) standings with 1 win and 4 losses. The team didn't look too good in the last Tour, barely missing the Lima Major. Despite a swaperoo in the pos 5 role ahead of this Tour, OG still struggled to find their footing. The group of young players needs to win this matchup to escape the possible looming relegation.

Nigma Galaxy, on the other hand, had a tough start in the Tour. However, after role swaps that brought SumaiL to carry and ATF to the midlane, the team seems to have found their balance. Nigma Galaxy recently defeated Ooredoo Thunders and Monaspa, and they come into this series with a convincing momentum. The team currently holds 2 wins and 3 losses. A win for Nigma in this series not only means a step away from relegation but also a chance at the next Dota 2 Major.

Who will prevail in this exciting series? Keep track of the live results of OG vs Nigma Galaxy below!

You can watch the live broadcast of OG vs Nigma Galaxy on PGL's Twitch account. We have embedded the livestream below.

The first game saw a questionable draft from OG, as they picked a Mirana carry for Yuragi. There were tons of doubts going into this series, especially against a pretty solid draft in Nigma Galaxy. However, DM's Beastmaster absolutely delivered, bringing early aggression that punished SumaiL's Spectre.

Despite some back-and-forths in terms of kills, OG maintained a strong net worth lead. Nigma did put up a strong high ground defense but they couldn't answer OG's aggressive advances and they ultimately ended the game at minute 53.

The second game saw a stronger dominance on the side of OG. They once again picked a pos 5 Marci for Chu and he played well to enable all his cores. Yuragi's Morphling survived the match without a single death, scoring an impressive KDA of 11/0/15.

One of the highlights of game 2 is when Nigma was sneakily taking Roshan. However, OG's quick detection using SunStrike and Chu's jump into the pit, allowed OG to contest the Roshan and snatch the Aegis for themselves.

OG's teamfight and direction has improved immensely from their last few series. They were able to take and counter most moves by Nigma Galaxy, deeming them no chance of recovery. It seems like OG is back in form, though a little bit late in the Tour. OG's victory and Nigma's loss now place them both on the same ranking and we might see an epic tiebreaker up ahead!
