OG lost their opening Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) match of the 2023 season on Monday when they had to admit defeat to Tundra Esports (0-2). But despite kicking off the new season with a loss, OG played well and looked very competitive on the first map.
It’s not fair to make any conclusions after just one series, but we liked what we saw from OG, who displayed strong teamwork. But most importantly, the newest signing Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin seems to have fit in with the team well.
Team Secret had a rough start to the 2023 season. They looked completely lost against Team Liquid, which likely had to do with Michał “Nisha” Jankowski who knows how to defeat Team Secret. Still, even with that in mind, we have a hard time defending Secret’s display.
It’s hard to criticise Secret after just one game, but we can safely say that OG looked better on Monday. At even odds, Secret would be the right play, but $2.25 on OG offers solid value.

Tundra Esports took no prisoners on Monday when they defeated OG (2-0) with a very clean performance. We already know what we can expect from Tundra in the opening DPC tour of 2023, but we don’t know much about Nigma Galaxy.
Despite struggling in 2022, Nigma Galaxy decided to keep most of its roster intact – adding just Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf as a replacement for Amer “Miracle-” Al-Barkawi. Some might disagree, but this wasn’t a bad call, as we don’t feel Nigma Galaxy had to change much to be competitive.
They had their ups and downs, but this is a stacked roster, which can pop off – and likely will if ATF fits in with his new teammates.
As the Dota 2 betting odds suggest, Tundra Esports should win, but we have high expectations for Nigma Galaxy, who are good enough to win a map or even upset the reigning The International champions.
