Their earlier round vs RNG, which ended in a tie, was impressive considering the overwhelming odds against them. Nigma has fallen off drastically since their demotion into Division 2, but fans are hoping that their latest addition, Syed “ SumaiL” Hassancould be the team’s lifeline to qualify for the coveted Ti11 in October. The other interesting match for OG is their match vs Nigma, which is an old rival dating back to The International 2019 (TI9). Both teams have been at each other’s neck for title as the strongest EU team, so any encounter between the two is a treat.įurthermore, Team Liquid’s presence is blessed by the legendary Anathan “ ana” Pham, who is stand-in for Riyadh Masters 2022. Heading into the second day’s schedule, we can expect a repeat of Week 5 at DPC Western Europe Tour 3 as OG meets Team Liquid for a revenge match. Both OG and Nigma Galaxy experienced a battering first-hand. Royal Never Give Up’s relentless showcase of strength was truly a fearsome sight.

The Riyadh Masters 2022 was off to a slow yet interesting debut as the Western teams take a beating from Chinese candidates for the first time since DPC (2021-22) began.
