Has anyone any bets in the group stage of TI for day 2 yet?
I've watched some of the games yesterday, there were a bunch of them but got a 1-2 score for my bets.
Another match currently going live right now are Heroic and Gaimin Gladiators.
Oh man, I hate this match. I bet for 2-0 GG on this game but it went 1-1. While I have lost that bet because it went the other way and Heroic won. I'm happy to see them that they're able to win 1 match against GG. That was heck of the game especially the 2nd map. Heroic was really winning the game and I thought that GG will turn the game upside down and will have a come back but they didn't.
I personally don't have any bets on TI yet because the games are pure lottery and you know why is it this way ? Because Valve decided to make a group stage where anyone can qualify further so no matter what place you get in the groups , you are still playing further in tournament. That's why , it's better to stay away from groups and just learn the meta and the style of teams as that might the only factor who could help us when we bet later on.
I understand you take but the adrenaline and excitement wants me to bet more as this it TI and it only happens once a year. Sum it up with the 2 games per series and that's really hard matches to bet on.
I must also say this is one of the worst TI ever created and hope Valve will take notice of this and never repeat this horrible mistake.
I can't conclude that yet but I'd say that it's not as hyped as the past ones. First, the prize pool isn't that much and secondly, the compendium didn't do what it is intended for. Still, this is still going to be a long tournament so it's possible that it could change your mind.
