I just came across a UDemy course on Dota 2. I wonder if there are people who buy the courses in order to learn Dota 2 ?
It's possible since i've seen a bunch of Dota players willing to pay to get coached or have their games reviewed by pro players.

I remember trying out their paid subscription once as I thought their guides would offer more that I didn't know, but it only served as a refresher for me since it mostly tackled the obvious parts.

I have doubts though if it will be bought because many Streamers now do post tutorials and strategies just for views and anyone who doesn't want to spend money will just pick that path.
Thanks for sharing the link though.
Back then it was probably worth it for the lower-ranked players, but now not anymore since it's outdated and the price of the linked course is nearly the same as their subscription.

I also agree nothing beats free guides and helpful strategies from certain channels and top players.

The Complete DotA 2 Course for Beginners It is not so difficult to know about Dota 2 and even if someone is new can easily all the free information from YouTube or other free sources, isn't ?

Note: I am not affiliated with this course in any way nor i am asking anyone to buy it. It's just that i came across an Ad of this course browsing the internet and got my attention as to how people are making money by selling such courses.
It's the first time I heard about this. $12 it's not that bad. I didn't know there are courses for this type of games and I actually didn't play DOTA 2 although I did play DOTA 1 so I think I might need that. Still, I won't spend too much as I have a background on this type of games, it's practice that I needed to be better with it.

Has anyone here already started to bet on some matches of European Pro League Season 22 of Dota2?
I'm glad I saw Team Mouz again in such a tournament.

I'll start betting in some matches now with small bets and will focus in playoffs matches.
Playoffs will start on December 22 - December 26, 2024


Mouz won their match yesterday against Passion UA and quite easily.
Today they go up against a team I am not too familiar with in Dragon Esports. But it is a best of 3 so it will more likely go to Mouz as they are playing on a very good run up til the playoffs.

Had looked for something in DOTA2 but there were nothing going on.
Later is the start of the FISSURE PLAY closed qualifiers for Americas, Western Europe and Southeast Asia. While on 23 for China and Eastern Europe.

I've seen that there's another roster change for Team Secret, they're now taking parker from South America as their stand-in position 1. But if they find success, for sure they'll take him.



The machete is sharpened. We're back in action for the FISSURE Belgrade 2025 qualifiers, with an updated roster featuring Parker and MikSa as stand-ins.

🇵🇪 Parker
🇧🇾 Ainkrad
🇷🇸 MikSa
🇷🇺 Kyzko

Just had placed a bet on CS2 and all there were from European Pro League division 2 play matches going on.
That is about it.
Had looked for something in DOTA2 but there were nothing going on. Not until the tournament that @GreatArkansas had mentioned in their previous post along with the scheduled teams who are participating but starting next week.
There were League of Legends going on but the events that were going on were not that appealing to place bets on.

Don't believe it is the offseason for CounterStrike league play just yet.

I think FaZe Clan was playing earlier today and I didn't know they were currently having tournaments a week or so before they go for their break for two weeks to bring in the New Years.
It might not look like it, but they should be entering the offseason even if it's only for a month or so since the Major just ended and it's the best time for teams to make changes before Katowice next January.

The CS2 scene barely gets any off time because of the constant tournaments being held every month between Blast, ESL and PGL unlike the other esports scene where they have longer breaks before the next tournament kicks off.

I found a chance to watch the Grand Final series in Shanghai Major thankfully and I loved especially the last map.  Smiley  Both teams did literally everything they could in the final rounds. Round 23 was legendary though and I believe it was one of the bests in CS e-sports history. FaZe showed a good resistance but sh1ro still clutched it in the last round to become the champion.
The retake by FaZe in round 23 was crazy, that should've been Team Spirit's round and somehow Ropz and Rain pulled it back. It was unfortunate that it didn't go into overtime as broky was caught off guard from the smoke gap.

Well good luck on this then, its a tier 3 tournament so some upsets could happen and the odds for favourites might not be as good as you wanted it to be

Thanks for bringing that up and it looks like the DOTA2 teams play throughout the Christmas day while CS do not and actually take a two week break to celebrate New Years day all at the same time.

Nah those are online tier 3 tournaments and majority of the teams that joined the tournaments are tier 2 and below so yeah. As for the top teams and tier 1 tournaments, most are taking breaks until New Year. We got one tier 1 tournament on late January 2025 though so yeah pretty much most players are already having holiday soon around 23rd December right after the last qualifiers

After hearing about karrigan's sensitive condition I really wanted him to win the trophy for his brother to tell the truth. But I'm afraid he couldn't.  Sad

Didn't manage to watch the finals due to late night in the UFC from an all-in betslip for me on Buckley.
But Team Spirit did win The Perfect World tournament 2-1 but it was a best of three.
Thought these tournaments were best of five since it is a major in CS2.

Even though my FaZe bet lost, it was still an amazing series to watch and i'm glad they started earlier than the ESL grand final.

The constant clutch scenarios from both teams were so entertaining. They would somehow pull off the impossible and steal rounds from each other, unlike the other teams that would instantly save and give up the round if they were at a disadvantage.

Now it's time to look forward to the offseason and expect the unexpected from the teams and their roster announcement.

@GreatArkansas
No I haven't really been big into DOTA2 but since starting this eSports thread had been following the bigger tournaments more and more because I usually put a bet on those matches to coincide with the ones I have already selected in CS2 so to place in a parlay.

Team Falcons seemed to be the biggest disappoint this tournament and for every match that I had watched they had lost.
Just watching the G2 vs FaZe match to see who Spirit will face in the finals on Sunday for this tournament in Shanghai. Currently FaZe has a 5-0 lead against them.
Even though they lost against Team Liquid, their series produced one of the best Dota games played in this tournament.

I'm also hyped for the Major grand final who would've thought FaZe would show up for the second time and G2 suddenly crumbled when it mattered.

My ticket is on Faze to win as they're still getting underestimated by the bookies and I don't see Team Spirit as a slight favorite, they still rely a lot on donk while FaZe has more reliable players.

That's esports there, the strongest have their fall backs too. I was quite disappointed but gotta move on. Parivision won the tournament for ESL One Bangkok 2024. And while this is happening, in Mongolia happened the MESA Invitational and Talon Esports won the tournament there. These are the winners with prizes, the others in the lower places don't have any.



So, congratulations to Talon Esports too.

PARIVISION vs. Team Liquid - ESL One Bangkok 2024 - Grand Finals

Who do you have guys ? currently the score is 2-1 for Parivision and hopefully they will win this map as well and win the series 3-1 because Liquid proved to be just a lucky team who won TI because 33 was on their team. Besides this , this Liquid team really looks like a Tier 2 team right now who has brilliants games from time to time. It's also damn time for a new Esports org to win right ? I'm getting tired to see same teams winning in Dota 2 and Cs2 for so many years already... .

Per example in Cs2 it's in vain to think you are going to see top 4 teams without Spirit , Faze , Navi or G2 and it's gonna be same story in 2025 as well...

I am looking for some details if there is dota 2 in the Perfect World Shanghai Majors since it always comes with dota 2. But it looks this time, it's only for CS2?

The last Shanghai Major organized by Perfect World was in 2016 so its been a while. Aside from that, Perfect World used to organized DPC for CN region but with DPC gone I guess they move out to cs2

So tomorrow we are getting straight to the grand final huh? BetBoom vs Falcons. Parivision get the top spot on Group B but there is no way that they are better than Betboom on Playoffs. Totally scream over 2.5 maps on this though, classic over 2.5 maps when two favourites play against each other especially on upper bracket
I see, and that's why I am trying to look for it on the books but it's not found and only CS2. And our boi, yatoro is present in Shanghai to support Team Spirit CS2. My bet for Team Falcons lost and BetBoom moves forward together with Parivision.

It does sound like a DOTA2 type tournament and as @arallmuus had mentioned above it seems to have transferred it's title over to CS2 instead for this year.

Just watch both the beginning matches for both the Bangkok and Shanghai tournaments for dota2&cs2 and had a very successful time in betting for both of them on a mighty esports acca!
All my bets have cashed in and now have enough to continue on this run for the rest of the these tournaments.

Falcons seem to have fallen today and Team Liquid had fallen in their match against Team Spirit in Perfect World.
Yeah, I've lost my bet with Team Falcons and I thought that they've always been consistent reaching to the grand finals through the upper bracket. But let's see if they'll make it on the bottom.

I should have known that Team Liquid would win 2-0 against SR, should have taken that as my bet as well but oh well I put bigger stake than usual on Team Spirit -1.5 so thats enough for today. Honestly I was expecting to watch Kuro to stand-in again to ruin the gameplay though  Tongue
Team Liquid at LAN tends to show up when they have to, they also stepped up in the previous season's ESL One tournaments and I think they're on their way to secure at least third place if they can play at the same level as yesterday.

They were outdrafted by BetBoom there and with their match in the lower bracket against the Team Liquid. Many have cheered for Team Liquid instead of them. They went home already ending this tournament of ESL Bangkok at 5th-6th place with $57,500 prize money. Team Spirit is likely to proceed to the next stage in the lower bracket against Avulus. But let's see if Avulus will make some twist on their matches since they're also a good team that I have watched for so many games.
Their series against Team Liquid was so good, they gave Team Liquid a hard time with their beefy cores, but they started to fell off once the game went into the later stages and couldn't keep up with Micke's Morphling.

I'm also leaning on Team Spirit and for some reason it feels like Avulus is set up to disappoint even though they had a good run in the group stage.

It felt like Team Falcons were overthinking with their drafts recently, going with the Earthshaker carry in the second map and then in the final map the Monkey King pick in the second phase gave BetBoom the edge in the mid match up.

Im not sure about you guys tomorrow but Im putting my money on Team Spirit and I hope Miracle would still be sick so Kuro would have to stand-in for him  Roll Eyes
With the odds currently at 2.10~ it's always worth the shot assuming they could quickly plummet once we see Kuro standing in again.

Miracle played but I was worried for nothing. Turned out that Team Spirit was way superior compared to Nigma. I should have known that Team Liquid would win 2-0 against SR, should have taken that as my bet as well but oh well I put bigger stake than usual on Team Spirit -1.5 so thats enough for today. Honestly I was expecting to watch Kuro to stand-in again to ruin the gameplay though  Tongue
