Topic: ✪ E-SPORTS PICKS : CSGO/LoL : 420 WINS - 69 LOSSES : MIDDLEMAN SERVICES - page 14. (Read 26566 times)

Is it worth an ICB on KeyD? I can afford a bet on NiP but if they lose i have nothing. Is there any chance of them winning?

I feel CLG might be the best in NA at the moment, with a slight edge over C9, I think they should win this game, but end up losing to NiP.

predicting NiP will make it out of their group, get_right doesn't fuck around.

also a few small picks on nitrogen while I'm still figuring out how these work

small bet on a game that popped up

explanation of bo2 -> team x must win both maps to win the match, if the match comes to a 1-1, the game is a draw. safest bets ever imo.

Lots of potential in +/-X.5 bets on nitrogensports, will think on those and post tomorrow if theyre listed, havent checked yet.

nV won't mess around at all when it comes to a tourney as big as this. They'll want to save their big boosts and strats for the semis and finals, but they won't want to risk losing a single game.

I do however, expect them to pull out most of their tricks against fnatic, they've lost every game vs them so far, and will be thirsting for that win over them.

Throwing a small bet on VOX because it's the first game for fnatic, there is a small possibility that fnatic might not be on the top of their game. I honestly feel VOX gets too little suport for the potential they have.

going to be so salty if i lose that

General Prediction for Group B:

EnVy Us vs. Titan --> nV have been in a slight slump recently, but I ecpect them to be on the top of their game, practicing all they can for this event. Titan, on the other hand, gets flak for "CarryS" being the entire Titan team. As much as I like Titan and would like to see them move out of the group I predict they will lose to nV, win the loser bracket match, then lose to nV again.

LGB vs. Penta --> When comparing individual stats, PENTA as a team are all above LGB's players individually. BUT, LGB does have talented players and solid tactics. However, PENTA has been looking fairly solid with the addition of Troubley. I expect Penta to take this match.

The matches currently listed on lounge are for Groups A and B.

Without giving analysis, it should be clear that Fnatic should be the clear favorites to make it out of group A.

Fnatic > VOX Eminor

Natus Vincere > Flip.Sid3 Tactics : : **s1mple will not be playing, he is banned from esl and other Valve-sponsored events if I recall correctly. However I and very sure he will not be playing; davcost will be playing in his place. I do think, however, some people may overvalue the raw, VAC-worthy skill that s1mple brings to the team, skewing the odds a bit. Still think a solid pick on Na'Vi though. I'm going to be a tad salty if I lose that bet, you'll see why.

ESL One Katowice group stage brackets

Also, I will try to post a little bit of analysis for some of these matches if I have he time and am not feeling lazy.

Going to start betting on katowice games now
a few notes:

a lot of these teams have been saving strats and have been "underperforming" for a while, but I expect all of them to give it everything they have to win any and every match they can. In addition, the NA scene is a lot better than it used to be compared to last year. As many of these NA vs EU teams may be going head to head for the first time, all of these games will be hard to predict. In addition, the group stage games are all best of 1.

Being a LAN, we don't have to worry about network-related issued such as ping or DDOS, and there will be technicians on-site to fix any technical problems that may arise. This will make bets a little easier, BUT, for some of these teams, being on the big stage in front of thousands of people will be a first for some of these teams, and this may be either motivating or intimidating to these teams.

Even with all this, we can still expect the favorites to make it out of their respective group stage brackets (Fnatic, nV, NiP, VP). However, upsets are likely and will happen, especially for the NA v EU matches.

Either way, we can expect nutty plays and great matches, and hopefully drops.

Going to put more thinking into these games than usual, picks will come slowly, but I will try to post a pick for every game I think is worth betting on.

WiLD decide to learn overpass in between games or something
 

G2 v Dignitas got postponed, 1 med bet

Katowice games starting to get added on lounge, will likely be betting on both lounge and nitrogensports for katowice.

small on G2

guess it starts on the 13th then i guess
you may still be able to bet if you find a way to obtain skins through trade instead of the market, such as opskins

It says it ends on the 15th Oh well for later bets i guess!

lost a fair amount, but it happens.

I dont understand 3dmax at all

underdog picks not going well, especially 3dmax, they look lost without allu now. Going med on Dignitas on their game vs 3DMAX.
