Nigma Galaxy defeated Coolguys 2-0 in the fifth Dota 2 game week of Dreamleague Season 16. The team is now in the top 4 potentially earning a Major invite, but could still face a stalemate. In addition, Team Tickles defeated Tundra Esports 2-0.
The last match of the season for Nigma Galaxy marked the end of a successful comeback for the squad of German captain Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi. The team lost all of the first three series with 0:2, but was then able to regain chances for the top 4 with four wins in a row. Whether there will be a stalemate and thus playoffs against Team Secret, Tundra Esports or OG depends on the results of the last game week.
It is currently still unclear whether the winter major, for which the top 4 of the Western European Dota Pro Circuit will qualify, will take place. Most recently, the Dota 2 developer Valve announced in response to displeasure in the community that they now want to allow the tournament to take place under certain conditions.
