Analysis of the 40k networth comeback of the loser king Nigma

Since 2019, Kuroky’s team has performed exceptionally well in the loser bracket and at WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020 they continue to show that. RNG played great throughout the tournament, but Nigma not only beat them 3-1 but also came back despite being 40k networth behind. This article will find out why RNG didn’t take advantage of it and lost the final match of the finals.

RNG’s Specter and Nigma’s Drow Ranger are their first picks in this tournament.

RNG has the advantage of split push, heal, and pick counter, while Nigma has the advantage in hand damage, initiating, disable, and defense. According to the calculation from the draft, the advantage of RNG is 57%.

In the end, the chances of winning for both sides are quite equal. Therefore, everything depends on the plan and implementation.

Overview of milestones:

• Minute 16: Nigma gank RNG jungle, still lose a bit, RNG leads 5k.
• Minute 26: RNG wins free aegis at Roshan.
• Minute 27: RNG failed to push the tier 2 tower.
• Minute 28: Nigma resisted push and reduced RNG’s advantage from 7k to 3k after teamfight.
• 37 minutes: Both teams continued to farm but RNG took control of the map and after a few teamfights, they increased their advantage from 3k to 13k.
• Minute 42: Nigma gank RNG but lost to teamfight, making the difference now 25k networth.
• 51 min: RNG with a 40k advantage decides to push the highground while all Nigma’s heroes are alive. RNG is destroyed by the combo vacuum of 5 people + wall + echo, while holding aegis and cheese. Nigma won the teamfight without losing any heroes.
• 52 minutes: After wiping out, Nigma decided to push, forcing the opponent to buyback, breaking the mid barrack and reducing the difference from 40k to 23k.
• Minute 61: RNG has great map control and Nigma calmly waits on the highground. RNG’s net worth is back to 39k and this time RNG has aegis, cheese and refresher shards. RNG decided to push the bottom barrack. All 10 heroes in the game had buybacks before teamfight broke out.
• Minute 63: RNG lost all heroes after buyback and lost the game.

Mistakes RNG made in the last few minutes:

• RNG has never decided how to deploy teamfight. So, every time Specter uses ulti, no one understands anyone, some people hit turrets, others hit heroes. The deployment strategy should be like this: When Specter uses ulti, QoP should jump into Drow, Specter will jump into Earthshaker and Doom will follow OD, and Omniknight will protect the hero that has lost the most health. The important thing here is that Omniknight has a Refresher Shard to double use Guardian Angel, and Specter can find Earthshaker and stop him from initiating a fight, not to mention Doom also has a refresher to doom OD and not let him do anything. . It’s hard to believe that the Chinese team chose to waste their ultimate just to take a turret at 63 minutes in the game when their draft was more effective in teamfights than pushing.
• RNG has too much gold but no one is buying a force staff and they have no way to stop Drow and OD from focusing on Specter without risking another hero.
• When buyback required only 3k gold, Specter had 7k, QoP had 7k and Doom had 8k gold ahead of teamfight. It can be seen that the team does not use gold to buy items. Specter has Aghanim’s so you can buy 1,800 recipe to complete Aghanim’s Blessing or 4k moon shard. QoP can buy 4k moon shard or boots of travel to split push. Doom can buy moon shard, assault cuirass or boots of travel. They were able to buy these items and still have a buyback left over.
• RNG has full map control and both have buybacks. The team can wait a few more minutes for some heroes on the team to level up. Omniknight and Doom are close to 25. QoP and Specter are close to level 29. The level 25 and level 30 advantages are so great that it makes you feel like you have an extremely expensive item on you.

Lessons for new players

Every game must have a teamfight strategy. Nigma won because they decided that the Earthshaker would jump out as soon as the Dark Seer jumped, and if you take a look at the highlights, you’ll see that in every teamfight. Earthshaker calmly waited his turn to strike. Meanwhile, RNG has no strategy to deploy and each player has a unique style, so they lose even though they could have completely won this game.
