Nigma Galaxy SEA have been playing exceptionally well this tour and sit in the second spot with a 5-1 record with only one more round to go. Their only loss came against Polaris (1-2) last Saturday when Nigma got stomped in map three, but they were very fairly competitive across the first two maps.
Lilgun are 3-3, which puts them out of contention for a top-two finish, but they’re also safe from relegation. While they have managed only three wins, they’ve produced a couple of excellent showings recently, most notably last Friday, when Lilgun defeated Talon Esports 2-0.
We wouldn’t count on an upset, and you could make a case for Nigma Galaxy to win without dropping a map (+106). Still, Lilgun have shown enough for us to believe they can put up a fight and force Nigma to three maps.

Neon Esports enter this match with full control of their fate; if they win, they’ll tie with Motivate.Trust Gaming and Execration, which will give them a chance to dodge relegation. MG.Trust, meanwhile, can lock themselves and Execration inside the top five with a win on Thursday.
Although both teams will want to win, it’s hard to say how this match will go, largely because of Neon Esports’ weird results. They took down T1 (2-1) at the start of the month, gave TNC Predator (0-2) their only win of the tour, and then stole a map from Team SMG (1-2).
But even though Neon have shown some decent performances over the last two weeks, we wouldn’t back them at the offered Dota 2 betting odds. Likewise, there is little value with MG.Trust at -138.89, knowing that they’re on a four-game losing streak.
Both teams need to win, so this bout could get messy. We wouldn’t be surprised by any result, but there’s a good chance we see a three-map series.
