I know TI10 is over.

But what do you guys things about xiao8 case, a coach from PSG.LGD? while he was betting on the match someone said is was fixing match. I read on the Weibo thread, his ex-wife is also confirmed he was addicted to gambling.

That is a strange thing to hear during a tournament this big.
As I had mentioned on occasion I am not too familiar with DOTA2 and just started betting when the Internationals started last week.
But did this coach get caught betting on matches during the tournament?
I know in counterstrike they have their incidents but a coach getting caught betting on or against their own team while in a major tournament would pose a big question of match fixing involved.

As Trofo mentioned in his previous message, post a link so others may see the details.
Thank you ryzaadit.

In behalf of ryzaadit, I did make some research about it and found this one.

https://thesportsrush.com/dota-2-news-xiao8-who-is-the-dota-2-coach-of-psg-lgd-has-been-accused-by-his-exwife-of-betting-against-his-own-team-in-ti10-finals-chinese-dota-2-news/
https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/psg-lgd-dota-2-coach-xiao8-allegedly-bet-team-ex-wife-claims

Seems like a big issue on this one.

You could have posted the link

I have not heard about this particular case but I believe that usual logic applies. Even if the match is not fixed it is forbidden for members of the sporting organization to bet on their games and usually also on the whole competition. It is easiest way to stop match fixing, especially now when there is so many different markets. You don't need to loose the game to fix the match. For instance you can make a big bet on who will get first tower, not very important for the game and still very profitable and easy to fix. Even if they don't fix the outcome they have insider information and arguably unfair advantage over the bookies and other players.

I know Valorant isn't included in this thread but I know some of you really like FPS games and It's also included on the Sportsbet.io eSports betting so I'll drop it here.

Valorant is welcomed to be discussed here as it was said towards your reply back in August:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57826946

Also mentioned in a post a few pages back here:

Been watching Valorant too? Looks like it getting more popular as these tournaments go on. With over 21k watching the Berlin Masters today.
Their stream on youtube is streamline and their venue looks very nice:

Do you happen to be watching VCT masters Berlin (Valorant) right now? I'm betting with sportsbet.io, and I've mentioned in other eSports threads that SEN will undoubtedly dominate the group stage. SEN vs G2 recently had nearly 800,000 peak viewers, a typical G2 marketing strategy but SEN win. I hope that the number of people betting on Valorant grows because they are still comparing it to CS:GO, but if we look at the statistics, Valorant is making a name for itself in eSports and is on its way to becoming as popular as LoL and Dota 2 tournaments.

Markets can be seen here. Thanks to finaleshot2016 for the question of it's availability:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/betsy
Select Valorant from the selections on the far left of the screen.

Will revise the title of the thread so it is made more clear.

Also with the Intel Masters Winter qualifiers upon us, I managed to score a good win betting against the favorites which cost me last time I bet on CS:GO

Looks like the markets come up as the next opponents aren't known until the previous one are finalized.
But they are here later in the day when available:

We have the 2021 Worlds quarter-final draws now. Honestly, the odds haven't been determined yet but my favourites for these 4 matches are like this respectively: RNG, GEN.G, T1, DK. Besides, I think that DK will win the tournament.

Is anyone watching the Last Chance Qualifier for various regions?

We're just waiting for the NA LCQ, then the list of VCT Champions competitors will be full.

This is one of the international competitions I'm looking forward to after the TI because one of the teams playing is Team Secret, which has all of the players from my country. I'm also rooting for Full Sense, a team from SEA, and, of course, Sentinels!

Tournament start date: December 01, 2021

Finally! someone brought up the VCT Champions on this thread, I'm really hyped up on how VCT Masters went, I came by this thread to actually ask if anyone knows a site or at least a community wherein Valorant betting is happening.

SEN is probably the most popular team around the roster considering on how they always perform, especially TenZ, but since Team Secret is playing this major, I'm rooting for them, representing Philippines and SEA this Champions tour, I'd like to see how Dubstep and the team show their skills on their first major in Valorant.

The second round of the groups looks more competitive and LNG is about to take a win from Gen.G that means there's a possibility for tiebreakers. Team Liquid's chances to qualify goes down if LNG wins but I won't be surprised if they get an equalizer against Gen.G later since they can't afford to lose the last two games. With that said i'm backing Team Liquid @2.23 vs Mad Lions, odds are too good knowing this is close to a coinflip but imo i'd give the edge on Team Liquid based on their level of play.

Betting on TI is so brutal, most of the underdogs are coming out on top. With VG and IG starting in a few i've already locked my pick on VG+1.5 together with EDG to win vs T1 (total odds of 2.2). With the way EDG is performing atm, they're likely going to sweep and top their groups if they manage to win against T1 since they're the only team that could keep up with EDG. As for the VG handicap, I'm expecting the series to go to a decider since these two teams have a long history and played against each other so many times.

T1 disappoint many and it includes me though fortunately there's still many options to bet from and winning a bet because of PSG is a great choice I've made yesterday and also with Team Spirit after beating IG. Now we are into the last 2 matches between Team Spirit and Team secret that who ever wins will proceed to finals against PSG. Tomorrow will be another big day, let's see if Team Spirit will continue to surprise us, let's see if this another ez game for them.

PSG are now into finals after defeating IG, and on the lower bracket the Team Spirit vs IG, it looks like Team Spirit will try their luck again to fight against the top team. This has been an interesting week with so many surprise, I can't still move on on the team I bet for.

Well, considering the games of PSG on this season I think they will claim the title because they are the only team that is very consistent since the beginning of the tournament, I'd rather place my bet now with PSG.

Currently 1 win for Team spirit against IG and i havent really expected that Team spirit would really be that much good specially that TORONTOTOKYO which is really a fearless player.

Cant really deny that other team members do really know on how to play their role.They do have that rotation and good map control and having that crucial decision making.

Wont really be surprised if they would beat up IG and would face LGD on the finals which is really interesting but they would need to face first Secret team.

Team Spirit continues to surprise us, first after eliminating OG and now IG such a dark horse of the tournament if they win against Team Secret, this will be another upset against powerhouse. LGD is now waiting and preparing for the Big fight, they are well prepared to get the title, let’s see if Team Secret will fall again. This is so exciting to watch honestly that I forgot to place my bet because of too busy watching the games.

They made a good picked and really perform a good standing in all rounds of the tournament, but this is still Dota and everything can happen just like what happened to OG so its really hard to get complacent and I'd hope they continue to show their true skills and perform a better game.

They are now waiting for the other team between Team Spirit and IG, they have a good time to prepare if ever. I'll not place my bet yet not until I saw the last 2 team to compete for the title. I'm rooting for PSG and IG again. let's see.

OG's case is different to LGD, OG performance this year is not consistent compared on there previous 2 TI tournament. There hero pick off is sucks and whoever giving the call there match is pretty insane.

LGD performance is very consistent and solid even before this TI. I don't see TS can win against them in case they win against IG. Only IG can give a good close fight to LGD since they have a similar Chinese play style

PSG.LGD looking very good and wining almost all their maps. Watched them against elephant today and they have fallen a bit behind in map 1 but never looked like losing. They just waited for their heroes to come online and then pounced.

Waiting for OG match now, I need a draw in this one for max money. Odds changed a lot during the night so I have several bets on this one.

We are already reaching to the climax of this tournament and there are lots of unexpected games that do happen where favorites had been sent home and those underdogs are the ones who are reaching
into the semi-finals at least.

PSG.Lgd? Im not really that surprised that they would really going into the finals or semi's but hopefully that they wont choke out and since OG was already defeated by TS
then im putting my hopes up with Secret.

Gambit playing a mess lose 2-0, complexity cant win a single round also way off their game even if they werent going to win they had being doing alot better then this. Not sure, maybe all these teams are occupied elsewhere but I got alot less confidence in match outcomes at the moment.

I just read smooya will join Fnatic which hopefully he will make the most of, thats a big enough team that he could get some real wins underway like he should have been doing for years. Can he work properly within an actual team, biggest question. Would be quite tragic to have the skill to win a major but ruined by your temper all you do is stream on twitch and play fpl instead.
