On April 19, 2025, at 16:00 EET, Team Liquid will face off against Nigma Galaxy in the first round of the group stage of PGL Wallachia Season 4. The match will be played in a Bo3 format at the LAN tournament. Below is an analysis of the teams' form, key players, and our prediction for the upcoming encounter.
Liquid finished ESL One Raleigh 2025 with mixed results. The team confidently defeated Nigma Galaxy 2:0 and AVULUS 2:0, drew with Shopify Rebellion 1:1, but lost twice to PARIVISION. Despite these losses, the team demonstrated a stable level overall, especially in matches against lower-tier teams. Nisha and miCKe remain the main stars of the lineup, capable of dominating their lanes.
Nigma Galaxy had a disastrous tournament at ESL: four consecutive losses to Team Spirit, Team Liquid, PARIVISION, and BetBoom Team, all with a score of 0:2. Their only victory was against Talon Esports. The team is facing serious issues both in the draft phase and during the game. Despite the experience of GH and SumaiL, they have yet to find a working formula for synergy. Their weaknesses are particularly noticeable during the laning phase and the transition to mid-game.
The current meta prioritizes heroes with flexible roles, capable of influencing the game's pace from the early minutes. Characters with strong initiation and map control abilities are popular.

Team Liquid appears significantly more stable both in current form and draft depth. The previous encounter between these teams at ESL One Raleigh ended with a convincing 2:0 victory for Liquid. Considering Nigma Galaxy's series of defeats and Liquid's confident play against mid-tier teams, the favorite here is clear.
PREDICTION: Team Liquid wins 2:1
