During mid-game, his farm will focus primarily on an area of the jungle (enclosed in black) [Refer to Image 1.1], with the possibility of going to the mid lane or the off-lane to continue his farm, but will not advance beyond the lines marked in red without knowing the position of the enemy team. Because his team constantly seeks to create spaces, Miracle constantly takes advantage of such situation by split pushing and consuming part of the enemy jungle (areas marked in yellow). In case he doesn’t have the knowledge of his enemy's position or whereabouts, he’ll return to his comfort zone. [Refer to Image 1.1][Image 1.1]
In the event Miracle plays the hard-carry position, he’ll look for farm in his lane and will mostly depend on how easy or difficult his lane is in order to rotate towards the mid lane to perform the aforementioned. He will always look for early items like early Wraith Band or Drums of Endurance. MinD_ContRoL During early game, he stays in his lane trying to break the enemy tier 1 tower as quickly as possible so that he can start rotating to other lanes to help out (in case the safelane or midlane need help, to defend or destroy the enemy tier 1 tower, or rotating to lanes to win some sweet duels on Legion Commander). In case the other lanes do not have major complications, he’ll continue pushing the lane after taking the enemy tier 1 tower, and plant an Observer Ward simultaneously so as to prevent some of the ganks directed towards him (circles enclosed in black color) [Refer to Image 1.2 below]. During midgame, he will look to control the outpost, rotating to offlane and safelane (the ganks will be to the lanes where they do not have control of the outpost). He will create space during this transition towards the mid-game with Kuroky and GH, and in return let w33 get his first primordial item (in case he hasn’t obtained it yet) and distract the enemy. He’ll mostly try to get involved in every teamfight that occurs once he reaches level 6.[Image 1.2]
W33 In his safe-lane position, W33 will constantly stay put in his lane until he has phase boots. Post that, he begins to roam around in search of ganks and play aggressively to create enough space for Miracle- to farm and for Mind_Control to take down the enemy tier 1 tower in his lane. He is constantly pushing a lane or looking for ganks, and in case he finds himself roaming in the jungle, he will be found in the area enclosed in black circle below and advancing towards the respective lane, ideally with an Observer Ward planted (enclosed in yellow circles in the image below). If Miracle is in his lane or at the other end of the jungle, w33 will take the remaining part of the jungle (enclosed in white circles below). [Refer to Image 1.3][Image 1.3]
When he plays mid-lane, W33 will stay in the middle zone with some ganks directed towards other lanes until he gets his first item. In any case, he too like others will actively seek to constantly create space for Miracle- to farm. Kuroky Ideally accompanying W33 or Miracle, he is more likely to extend support towards the mid-lane and help his core to secure farm or save him from ganks early game. His main function is to secure farm for his cores in the lane, pulling creeps towards the neutral camps, creating multiple stacks in the neutral camps or simply trying to distract the enemy. Towards mid-game, his priority shifts towards creating space by performing ganks and defending towers on his side of the map. GOALS The main objectives of Team Nigma early game is to take down the tier 1 towers of mid and off-lane. Once these towers are destroyed, the map opens up and creates opportunities to execute more effective ganks. An attempt is made to distract the enemy in the safe lane and off-lane, thus leaving the middle zone up for grabs -- a safe zone for Miracle (area enclosed in black below) [Refer to Image 1.4]. Areas circled in yellow is where Nigma will place most of their wards trying to gain some control over the map. They will expect Miracle to obtain one or two main items before joining them in pushing lanes (the number of items will depend on the advantage or disadvantage they have). The mid-zone will be the main focus of their attacks. Outposts control is essential for the team.[Image 1.4]
DRAFTS: Draft wise, the “ideal” draft of Team Nigma has 2 variables; primary and secondary, in which the primary is the dream draft with no heroes being banned from it and secondary being the most used alternatives when the former experiences any hiccups.
