@ralle14 Looks like your selection won on the +1.5 for TT gaming to get it against Weibo gaming.
Congrats man!
Seen a youtube stream dedicated to Valorant matches just popup on my feeds yesterday.
We might see some major tournaments this season starting to get the unknowns in on the action.
So to get the ball rolling and get them to counterstrike levels of competitions and tournaments.

So is there an age limit for player to be still participating in tournaments like this?
I want to say yes but there are other factors aside from age that affect the player's performance as well. Eventually, pro players would realize on their own when it's a good time for them to step down or take a step back from the competitive scene.My Ultra Prime pick lost as LNG looked somewhat better but they still need to fix things at their top lane if they want to keep up with the other good teams.
Moving on, Weibo Gaming faces TT Gaming later today and I went with +1.5 TT Gaming @2.01 since the odds seems a bit high after they got their upset win against OMG and Weibo Gaming have been dropping maps in their last 4 series.

Faze are officially the #1 Counterstrike team to play professionally in the world after beating Navi.
Karrigan is getting up on age and believe he is close to retiring. I think he has been playing since 2015 in majors.
So is there an age limit for player to be still participating in tournaments like this?
The announcers who are former players had said they left the sport after turning early 30's then went on to these jobs they are currently doing.

I thought that NaVi would have won it.
I had the same expectations at the start of the finals since Navi is slowly gaining some momentum and faced good opponents throughout the tournament.Back to LPL once more, i'll be fading LNG and picking Ultra Prime +1.5 @1.69, LNG is the better team here but last week they played with their sub top after losing against FPX and their new top laner isn't performing any better so UP should at least take a map against LNG.

Yes, it hasn't ended when I've posted and said it's just the first half that ended and we're on the 2nd half and it didn't ended well for the NaVi. Well, what a clutch on the banana rush. IIRC, that was from broky cmiiw. Too many good plays and NaVi choked on. I just like seeing that fans are also crashing on the chatbox, I'm sure you all are seeing it too. 
Map 2 coming in.
Haha, cool. Tbh, I don't think Navi is choked at all since I've said above, very hard to play in the T side if you don't have the overwhelming in unity/nade or skill over other CT team. For Navi, economy management isn't their strong suit so if one or two match losses, hard for them to make a comeback against Faze, against all odds in CT for Faze and the nature of map inferno as well.Map 2 coming in.
Now we're at Overpass map. I think Navi has a strong chance to win this since this is their pick and they have a history of doing quite well on Overpass. If this game is Bo3, I'd place my bet on Navi for the overall winner. But this is Bo5 and Navi if I remember correctly not doing well in the long Bo5 game, and Faze has that kind of endurance and crafty of the old fox. I think it will be a close game for both teams.
But, no.
Choke or no choke in 1st map , Navi is running over Faze in map 2 and also in map 3 on Ancient. I've said in my previous post that I have a strange feeling this could go 3-1 for Navi and with a comeback will make it even more epic.
With how Faze is looking on map 3 when they are down 1-8 on their map pick , I don't think they will have the necessary resources to comeback and win Mirage Navi pick where Simple simply has godlike angles to work with.
EDIT : Literally one of the most insane games and is not even over yet.
It would have been a different story if NaVi took the 1st map but we all knew that it's not really for them. Well, the last map was intense.With how Faze is looking on map 3 when they are down 1-8 on their map pick , I don't think they will have the necessary resources to comeback and win Mirage Navi pick where Simple simply has godlike angles to work with.

Congrats to them.

Five maps it is.
Congrats on hitting the over 4.5, I went with Faze after took over Mirage and tie up the series. It really looked as if Navi was going to have it go into overtime for the last and final map but Twistzz sealed it with a jumping move to kill the two players of Navi. Then they were just left with pistols.
Before this match Faze hadn't dropped a map all tournament long, which I didn't realize until one of the commentators mentioned it.
I also thought it'd go OT for the second time when it came down to 14-14 and even though some of them are getting frustrated during their losing rounds, they're still playing out of their minds as if nothing happened.

Hehe , I placed a bet on 1st map Navi and it would a hard one as they chose Overpass which is a strong map of Faze but I do think S1mple has something prepared for them.
Regarding total maps ...it might be a strange 3-1 for Navi but I personally want 5 maps too.
EDIT : sorry , it seems map 2 is overpass.

It went and took all the maps to end this finals and lasted 7 hours to crown the winner.
So with this win that means Faze are the #1 cs go team in the world. It was a game that would be put among one of the best anyone had seen.

The same comments that I've been reading on the stream that NaVi is weak on the first map, Inferno. I've seen them retrieved themselves and proved everyone wrong at the first half.Regarding total maps ...it might be a strange 3-1 for Navi but I personally want 5 maps too.
EDIT : sorry , it seems map 2 is overpass.
From 1-5(Faze), they've managed to take the map 1 into 9-6. We're moving now to the 2nd half, we'll see if they'll continue to prove those folks wrong.

^ It's going to be a close game, guys. We're talking about BO5 here. I remember seeing a player rating chart for IEM so far and both Faze and Navi have 3 players from both sites at the top, simp1e, b1t, electronic vs rain, twistzz, ropz. Damn, all are really skilled players so both sides have nearly the same in the term of firepower, no pun intended lol.
But in term of brain and strats, karrigan is still the king of CS in my opinion. You can't find any better igl than karrigan so Faze has the edge here over Navi. This match's going to be legendary.

Good betslip and those teams won their matches 2-1. Excellent call on the handicap for the favorites.
Movistar riders seem to be going to the finals because so far from what I've seen of their play they have sharp all tournament long.
So they are the ones I would put to be winning the IEM in the finals on Sunday.
Thanks and the good thing Sportsbet was offering handicaps on the favorites since it's rare to find alternative handicaps on esports. Movistar riders seem to be going to the finals because so far from what I've seen of their play they have sharp all tournament long.
So they are the ones I would put to be winning the IEM in the finals on Sunday.
Unfortunately, they got swept by Faze earlier today, but still reaching this far already says a lot for them given that most of the top teams got eliminated early and hopefully they'll continue to maintain that level of play in future LAN events.
Going back for some League as I got this Damwon -1.5 ticket for later, Brion is one of the weakest teams in the league and Damwon have been sweeping weaker teams, this should be another 2-0 on the side of Damwon.

Intel extreme master is wrapping up this weekend in Cologne on July 17th when the winners of tomorrow's matches face off against Navi and Faze to on to the grand final Sunday.
Bets can be placed on Mouz vs Astralis and Movistar riders vs Team Liquid here for these semi-finals matches:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/esl-cs-go/intel-extreme-masters/matches
Speaking of IEM, I got a small multi going between Astralis and Movistar Riders to take at least a map. Bets can be placed on Mouz vs Astralis and Movistar riders vs Team Liquid here for these semi-finals matches:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/esl-cs-go/intel-extreme-masters/matches
Both series seem like a toss-up that's why I just went with the +1.5 handicap so the odds are low but I think these two have the best chance at taking a map and possibly a series win since they looked great since the start of the playins.
