    Nigma tops the groupAfter being seeded into a group alongside the likes of Team Liquid, Team Spirit and ESL One Bangkok winners PARIVISION, Nigma have something of an uphill battle on their hands but after facing Talon Esports and Shopify Rebellion on day 1, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve had a confidence boost. Not only did they take both series 2-0 but they did it convincingly.

    BetBoom came into these playoffs by the skin of their teeth after dropping maps against BOOM Esports, Team Liquid, M80 and Aurora Gaming but that was, apparently, enough.

    Evolving creeps scale with the gameThe homes of the new amphibious creeps in patch 7.38 are located on the outer rim of both the radiant and dire safe lanes, perfect for when you need some really safe space to farm.

The main difference is that while they’ll initially spawn with a base level creep like easy or medium, the camps will evolve as the game progresses.
