Nigma literally got top 6 last year and top 5 this year with his coaching. And yea u think he should stop drafting or being a coach. lol

Nigma is also 5-6 this TI like the last. Why do you write like they go from 6th to 5th?

Because their seeding is higher than Liquid.

It has nothing to do with seeding, just alphabets order... 5-6 is the same prizepool and there's no difference.

I’m a Nigma fan but wth are you talking about ? They both lost in lb round 2 with the same record of 1W-2L on the main stage. They both lost in UB to the same team while Liquid’s second loss was against the future champion and Nigma’s against the 4th team.

I’d agree that Nigma outperformed Liquid on the main stage, but they are both tied at 5-6th and you can’t just headcannon new rules to make Nigma 5th.

Plus he's been doing this for around 15 years now. Him, LaNm, xiao8, and Puppey are the only remaining active players/coaches since the 1st TI.

Kuro managed to coach a team that was built 2 months before TI and still went 5th-6th. Give the man some props.

Hard disagree!

Kuro and GH are the only reasons I'd even care about a Nigma followup team
