The upper bracket finals of PGL Wallachia #4 saw an intense battle between Nigma Galaxy and Yakult Brothers, with Nigma securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory. The series was filled with crucial mistakes, incredible individual performances, and a dominant final game from Nigma. Game 1: A Back-and-Forth Thriller The first game of the series was a rollercoaster of momentum swings, with both teams having their moments of dominance. At the 21-minute mark, a pivotal mistake from Zeal’s Terrorblade almost cost Nigma the game. In a chaotic teamfight, Zeal misused Sunder, swapping health with Ghost’s Lifestealer instead of healing his own low-health carry. This mistake led to a temporary advantage for Yakult Brothers. However, Nigma remained resilient and capitalized on a massive teamfight win at 36 minutes, turning the tides in their favor. With superior execution and map control, Nigma eventually closed out the game, taking the early series lead. Game 2: Emo’s Lina Almost Carries Yakult to Victory Yakult Brothers responded fiercely in Game 2, with a draft centered around Emo’s Lina, who delivered an outstanding performance. While Nigma Galaxy appeared to have a better grip on the game overall, Emo’s dominance in fights and skirmishes kept Yakult in contention. Despite their efforts, Yakult’s hopes were dashed in the late game when Emo was caught out and died twice without buyback in his own base. This crucial mistake left his team vulnerable, allowing Nigma to capitalize and secure the series equalizer. Game 3: Draft Disadvantage Seals Yakult’s Fate Heading into the deciding game, Nigma Galaxy prioritized Phantom Assassin, a hero that had already proven effective for them. In contrast, Yakult Brothers struggled with their draft, forcing Warlock into a position four role with Primal Beast, a questionable laning duo against a dominant Phantom Assassin-Lich lane. The laning phase was a complete disaster for Yakult. Zeal’s Primal Beast suffered immensely, going 0-4 by the 7-minute mark, leading to a complete loss of map control. Although Ame’s Bloodseeker managed to keep up in net worth, the early-game dominance from Nigma’s lineup proved insurmountable. With Yakult unable to recover from their laning disadvantage, Nigma Galaxy steamrolled their way to victory, securing their place in the Grand Finals of PGL Wallachia #4. With this 2-1 triumph, Nigma Galaxy advances to the Grand Finals, looking to carry their momentum forward. Meanwhile, Yakult Brothers drop to the lower bracket, where they will have to fight for a second chance at the championship. Stay tuned for more action as PGL Wallachia #4 nears its thrilling conclusion!
