Day 3 of Blast Slam II delivered an action-packed spectacle, featuring a thrilling three-game series between Nigma Galaxy and Parivision, followed by Team Falcons asserting their dominance over Yakult Brothers. Here’s a breakdown of all the action from today’s matches. Nigma Galaxy vs Parivision – A Series to Remember Game 1 – Nigma’s Map Control and Relentless Pressure Nigma Galaxy came into the series with a clear game plan, executing it to perfection with a Gyrocopter-Io-Bounty Hunter draft that dictated the pace from the get-go. Their relentless aggression and mobility, particularly through Io’s Relocate plays, allowed them to hunt down heroes across the map. Sumail and Noob had outstanding performances, with Sumail posting a dominant 13/2/15 KDA and Noob close behind at 12/1/13. Despite Parivision's Satanic Phantom Assassin, they couldn’t withstand Nigma’s overwhelming presence, leading to a swift victory. Game 2 – A Divine Comeback for Parivision With Ghost on Morphling and Sumail playing Magnus, Nigma looked poised for a 2-0 sweep, especially after securing a crucial Roshan fight at 38 minutes. However, Parivision’s Satanic on Templar Assassin proved to be the game-changer. At the 45-minute mark, the TA completed a Divine Rapier and turned the tide of the next Roshan battle, killing Ghost twice and forcing a dieback. With their primary damage dealer eliminated, Nigma couldn’t hold on, and Parivision forced a deciding Game 3. Game 3 – A Nail-Biter Ends in Nigma’s Favor The final game was a back-and-forth affair, with momentum shifting constantly in the first 30 minutes. The defining moment came at minute 31, when Ghost’s Phantom Assassin completed his full kit. From that point onward, Nigma won every fight convincingly, closing out the series in style. With this victory, Nigma Galaxy is officially back in form— the stars have aligned for this legendary squad once more. This series is a must-watch for any Dota 2 fan. Yakult Brothers vs Team Falcons – Falcons Soar to Victory Game 1 – Malr1ne’s Huskar Dominates Team Falcons wasted no time in establishing their dominance, crushing Yakult Brothers in a 17-minute stomp. The key to their victory was Malr1ne’s last-pick Huskar, which completely dismantled Emo’s Puck in the mid-lane. With the other two lanes also going heavily in Falcons’ favor, Yakult had no way to recover, and Falcons secured a commanding win in record time. Game 2 – Yakult Holds On but Falcons Close It Out Despite struggling in the laning phase once again, Yakult Brothers managed to hold on for 20 minutes, attempting to weather Falcons’ relentless pressure. Emo, playing Razor, opted for an Eternal Shroud at 19 minutes to sustain against Falcons’ burst damage, but it wasn’t enough. The combination of Zeus and Lina’s Aghanim’s Scepter upgrade proved overwhelming, and after their best-performing hero was bursted three times in a row at the start of fights, Yakult’s hopes crumbled. Falcons took the 2-0 series win in a decisive manner. Looking Ahead – What’s Next? Day 4 promises even more action, with Nigma Galaxy set to face Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators taking on Team Falcons. Can Nigma continue their newfound momentum and take down Tundra? Will Falcons extend their dominance against the reigning TI champions? Stay tuned for another exciting day of Dota 2 at Blast Slam II!
