Dota 2 Legend Admits Dislike for Nigma Galaxy's Newcomer and Mocks the Team's Roster
Former Gaimin Gladiators midlaner Quinn Callahan and former Team Liquid support Insania Sarkohi criticized Nigma Galaxy, subjecting the management's decision to harsh criticism.
Laughter Through Tears
Quinn Callahan did not hold back his emotions regarding Nigma's new roster. According to the midlaner, he laughed out loud when he saw the updated lineup. He has a particular dislike for the team's newcomer rincy (rincyq), whom Quinn admits he hates due to experiences with him in matchmaking.
The Ghost Factor
Aydin Sarkohi supported his colleague, expressing bewilderment over the exclusion of carry player Ghost. The Team Liquid support believes Ghost was the team's best player, comparing his impact to prime Miracle-.
Insania's Opinion
Last season, Ghost single-handedly "carried" the team, and his kick looks like an extremely suspicious and illogical decision. Without him, Sarkohi considers Nigma one of the weakest teams of the season.
Predictions for Top-6 at The International 2026
Podcast participants also tried to predict the top six teams of the main tournament of the year. Opinions were divided, but most consider Team Falcons and Tundra Esports to be the epitome of stability.
Quinn's Version
The American bet on individual skill and the "Saksa factor."
- Team Yandex — Quinn believes in Saksa, calling him the "Lisan al-Gaib" of Dota. In his opinion, any team with this support automatically makes it to the top 6.
- Team Spirit — despite having Yatoro and Collapse, Quinn believes that with the arrival of panto instead of Miposhka, the team lost its champion aura and is no longer the "machine" that doesn't lose finals.
- PARIVISION — the most unstable participant in the top. Quinn predicts either a top-3 finish or a complete collapse and 16th place for them due to tilting.
- MOUZ — for stability and skill.
- Team Falcons
- Tundra Esports
Insania's Version
The Swedish captain noted that due to the abundance of new rosters, it's difficult to predict anything.
- The Ironclad
- Tundra Esports and Team Falcons.
- The Pursuit Group
- Team Yandex, MOUZ and Team Spirit. Their final placement will depend solely on the meta and patch, as the teams are equal in strength.
Crystallis's Version
The MOUZ carry approached the prediction with humor and a dose of "insider knowledge."
- MOUZ — undisputed first place.
- Monkey Business — Remco believes in the return of the legendary tag led by Topson.
- Team Falcons
- BetBoom Team — faith in Kiritych and the "Burger Boys" roster.
- Nigma Galaxy — but only on the condition that they change their roster again before the tournament starts.
- Team Spirit
