On April 11, 2025, at 10:35 PM EET, BetBoom Team will face Nigma Galaxy in the first round of the lower bracket playoffs at ESL One Raleigh 2025. The match will be played in a Bo3 format at the LAN tournament. Here is an overview of the current form of the teams and a prediction for the upcoming clash.

Current Team Form

BetBoom Team

The team started the tournament inconsistently, losing 0:2 to Team Falcons and suffering two defeats against Tundra Esports with scores of 1:1 and 0:2. However, amidst these setbacks, BB Team confidently defeated HEROIC 2:0 and AVULUS 2:0, showing they can dominate less cohesive teams. Despite this, their lack of stability and difficulties against top-tier opponents remain evident.

Nigma Galaxy

After a bright start with victories over Shopify Rebellion and Talon Esports, both series 2:0, Nigma Galaxy suddenly lost momentum. Subsequent losses to Team Spirit, Team Liquid, and PARIVISION, all 0:2, sent the team to the lower bracket.
