BetBoom vs Furia right now with 1-1 score after 2 maps and once again BetBoom is looking sharp and deadly today and I think Furia will lose this 3rd map for sure. I think BetBoom has the next gen of Cs2 players there with most of them coming from Tier 3 teams but look how great they perform and how great their chemistry between them works.

I also cannot wait to see VP vs Vitality as I have a feeling VP will produce a shock and win today.

It was quite the inaugural season for BLAST Bounty wasn't it?
Even the newly minted BetBoom team with the return of one from the good old days of NaVi secured them a spot in the LAN finals.

G2 Esports managed a good comeback against BiG as you have explained above in your previous post.
So congratulations on backing your favorite team and sticking to them at a shaky looking time for them.

Falcons just got merc'ed by Eternal Fire getting a big 2-0 win against a team who were going to be the super team this year.
I think they are even trying to sign S1mple who has been benched by his current team off the roster for whatever reason that might be for.

G2 almost lost to BIG ...a game that just ended a few minutes ago and what a game it was! Now , I don't know if G2 is really this bad or if BIG really performed better than usual but I would tend to believe that G2 without Niko will struggle for some time and if the rumors are true with M0nesy having a pre-contract from 2026 with Falcons...then I'm not so sure if G2 will have great performances this year or if they will be able to reach a final Sad

and it's sad because they are my favorite CS team.

Pain easily defeated Faze. First they defeated him on the dust2 map. It was obvious from the tactics and reactions in the game that they worked hard on this map. Then they closed the Inferno map.
It was one of the maps that Faze was best at. However, Ropz is gone now. There was a player change in Faze. Ropz left the team and they transferred EliGE instead.
Was Ropz better or will Faze be better with Elige's arrival?
What are your opinions about Faze? Ropz was a lurker player. EliGE is a more aggressive and forward player. They actually do completely different things. In this match, EliGE came after Broky in terms of score contribution. Frozen had a bad series.

Got blasted by BLAST yesterday when I placed a bet on Mouz who got beat badly by the newly created roster in BetBoom.
That was a really bad loss by a top tier CounterStrike team who won a title last season too.

Just unbelievable with the return of Boombl4 at the helm in their first tournament win to get the $30k bounty from this top tier one team in Mouz.

It almost happened to G2 too who dropped their first map very badly to B8 a team I never seen play before.
G2 were 1.17x odds going into this match but by the second map they were 1.50x but still favored to win which they did but it wasn't as easy the sportsbooks thought it would be reflecting in the odds provided.

I saw Mouz vs BetBoom yesterday and I must say I was really impressed with BetBoom in 2nd and 3rd map and the casters even said that most of the players are coming from Tier 3 teams which is insane to think about it because they performed amazing for a Tier 1 tournament.

Yep, G2 is not what it used to bet and I do hope M0nesy will find a way to transfer from this team and join other team ( hints towards Falcons ? ) because the current team of G2 has no real business to win any trophies...

Watched that match actually when it replayed for being one of the matches they featured because it was the first time in a long time CounterStrike fans got to see a familiar setting make a comeback to the map pool and that is the return of Train! Grin

You can see this as the map pick during the Team Spirit vs Fnatic here:

Also @ralle14 watched the Team Liquid vs 9Pandas match you mentioned in your last post and I can clearly see it is the regular roster for this tournament Cheesy

Didn't think they would be facing off with the ones who just won team of the year at the hltv awards.
But I must of had Liquid on my mind while I was posting about this matchup with the Imperial womens team.
Because I was listening to the video of it while writing it out so doubted they said them at first. But I went back to relisten and it turned out you were correct, they are playing Natus Vincere.
But this sounds like more of an exihibtion match rather than one that will go on their permanent professional record.
So 9Pandas has a womens side that will be going against Team Liquid is what you are saying?
Hadn't heard of that one yet but it would go with the theme of this tournament. Being only 5-6 days.

It has already started and FlyQuest is up against MiBR for the first match of day one for the first tournament of the year:

BLAST Premier Bounty, Day 1: FlyQuest vs MIBR, 3DMAX vs HEROIC, Liquid vs 9 Pandas, Spirit vs Fnatic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJAKnLnHxJc

Nice to see it started on the first day. What caught my attention is that the format has changed this year. I don't know about the Blast Premier bounty format, it looks good, I don't know people what thinking, but I like it.
It allows lower-tier teams to challenge higher-tier teams. Lower-ranked teams can win these prizes if they choose and defeat higher-ranked opponents in the first round.
With each win, the winning team gets 50% of their opponent's prize, while the remaining 50% is carried over to the next round.
There are some good picks. Fnatic chose team sprit. Betboom chose Mouz.

Have you guys heard of the Marvel Rivals?
https://www.marvelrivals.com/

It's release date was on December of 2024 and I actually have not played it yet to be honest. But it did got my attention when I saw the graphics on one stream and I think this could be one of the explosive games this year if they can market it right.
I am watching @Nadeshot - LIVE - GRINDING MARVEL RIVALS SEASON 1 | WE'RE HITTING ETERNITY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLGhanzhBG4
And I can say I got easily hooked with it after watching him play.
I missed the Season 0 tournament but there will be a season 1 tournament on March. I am not sure though if it's available in betting. I will just check it out before that time comes.

Ahead of the BLAST Bounty 2025 season Team Liquid will be facing off with an all female team for the Imperial Esports organization.

It's not Team Liquid, but NaVi who'll be facing them while Team Liquid is up against 9pandas.

It'll be interesting to see how the new best female team stacks up against an actual top team since it's rare to see a mixed matchup in most tournaments

So now we know where Ropz will be going after Faze Clan released him:

I remember it was already leaked back then that he's bound to go to Vitality, and now that it's sealed, the only thing left for this scary squad is to have a dominant season like the previous Vitality.

At the same time, the EliGe move came through for FaZe while G2 made their move on C9's HeavyGod. That probably wraps up most of the roster changes for the tier-one teams since we're just a few days away from the Blast Bounty qualifiers.

Some news out of the Faze clan team is they are to release long-time Estonian player Ropz:
https://www.hltv.org/news/40646/faze-release-ropz-tc

It sucks for Faze to lose their best player, but at least they're close to finding a replacement which could be EliGe based on this news post.

jottAAA replaces Calyx on Eternal Fire oh come on, that's what I call a change. Eternal Fire will be completely relaxed on the firepower side with its new player JotttAAA.
Xantares, Wicadia and JottAAA are great, now we can never say that Eternal Fire will be top 5 in 2025.

I thought Eternal Fire was already doing well with their current roster and didn't have to change anything. Anyway, i'll be looking forward to how they'll capitalize on their explosive trio.

So now we know where Ropz will be going after Faze Clan released him:

https://www.hltv.org/news/40728/official-vitality-unveil-ropz
He will be replacing Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi who will be sent to Vitality's inactive roster.

Does anyone really know why Nightfall got out of Tundra just after a few months ?

Maybe 33 also had that same view with dyrachyo because in some of their recent losses, the counter strategy is to bring him down until his hero can't snowball. The timing was unfortunate too because they only had a temporary midlaner at the time and like you've mentioned they still produced a bunch of good results.

Quote from: boltz on January 10, 2025, 04:30:22 PM

Also Dyracho is a great carry and we see this in Gaiming Gladiators recent performance without him. Undecided

True, it only got worse for them after they kicked him for Watson and it makes me wonder who they plan to replace next if they keep struggling even in the games they win.

Does anyone really know why Nightfall got out of Tundra just after a few months ? because Tundra managed to achieve a final with him as carry and 33 always said that Nightfall is the type of carry that suits his playstyle the best but maybe after all , it wasn't like that ? because I see no other reason of why Nightfall will accept to return as a carry in 2nd team of BetBoom instead of staying with Tundra. Also Dyracho is a great carry and we see this in Gaiming Gladiators recent performance without him. Undecided

Believe that Boom Esports won their match 2-0 because it was quick when I was switching between games earlier.
All the sudden it was over and they were already broadcasting getting ready for the NaVi game.
Had a bet on them but cashed out after they lost map 1. Not sure if they lost the game after dropping first.

Every game they keep always picking good support well Tims always do the game so well with "Senior Abed", in their game one TA pick is not quite as effective as a TB late game they manage to make an advtange with the early game but patience given to BOOM and they hit the first game win imagine the frustration you have the advantage but they have the higher kill potential with ES, Phoenix and a space from Fbz doom and Tims just make Jacky free hit in their game. But a spec draft with DK is so op in lane reason why they spam this and Boom lose the series of 2-1 against Aurora but in lower bracket a hard fight against Talon makes them still qualify.
