Had been watching the South American qualifier for the BetBoom tournament in Belgrade.
Imperial Esports is making another run to the finals with their win against paiN gaming the other day.
Here is the event:

They face-off against MiBR later on today for the Grand Finals tomorrow.

Despite the good games that OG has got. They're still in danger if they're not going to win the last day match that they have tomorrow.

Two series for them, with Heroic which was already eliminated but can give them headache and the same goes with Azure Ray. And as we speak about OG, they've got a direct replacement by ESL due to the visa issues of 1win.

What a way OG, after this, they're going to ESL Birmingham.
The 4-0 win from PSG.Quest and the 2-0 win AR earned from yesterday's matches reduced their chances. Now they'll need at least 3/4 map wins to secure a tiebreaker and lock one of the lower bracket slots, or 4/4 win for the second upper bracket slot.

That sudden replacement for the ESL Birmingham was a blessing for OG, and I don't mind if we can see them again pull another miracle win against the currently hottest team.  Wink


I'll temporarily move to League bets while waiting for the Elite League playoffs on Friday. TES knocked JDG down to the lower bracket last weekend and i'd assume they'll do better now that they get to face a weaker opponent.



Edit: What a throw by JDG, it should've been a 3-0 but they let NiP push it to a fifth map.

And the first team to get eliminated on this round-robin stage is team Heroic. They've only won 1 time against Falcons and it isn't followed by any.

They still have one match against OG but that will not make any more sense whether they win or lose. They can just give OG a loss for the points system to make sure that OG will also get out.
They also 2-0'd Team Spirit, but it's not enough as they dropped too many 0-2s to their opponents.

Even with not much on the line, i'd assume they'll take that final match seriously because it's still an opportunity to deny another team from qualifying for the playoffs.

Then again, OG did the impossible by giving Team Falcons their first 0-2 loss so they'd probably have a good chance of making it out unless they fail to get a map from Azure Ray.

I doubt that they're doing that on purpose. Look at some of their games, their drafts are the usual, and the way Miposhka and Collapse plays around the map is what you would typically expect of Team Spirit on other tournaments as well. It may be that other teams are just better currently, leading to Team Spirit placing badly on the tournament and not being that team that everyone knows.

Either way, it's still good if they can claw their way back up, but I somehow doubt it at this point in time.
It's not that they're doing that on a purpose. Many fans are not just used to their performance because they're not like this. They're still good but it seems that many of the participating teams are good as well and have learned a lot watching their replays knowing how they gank, and move around the map.

Its impossible that they arent that aware about the elimination, they would really be needing to cope up if they would be liking to be selected on playoffs.
They are really indeed playing into their usual drafts but ended up on lose, There's also i have noticed on Yatoro's carry which not really that too aggressive? Or im the only one
whose seeing this?.

Currently they do have that 1-7 standing which is on the bottom the round robin stage. So i would likely say that they cant make it
to playoffs. Dont know on how long this round or selection to last because im not really get used to this kind of very long group staging.

Just started watching Elite League and noticed Team Falcons vs Heroic was a BO2 because it is round robin stage, so of course it ended 1-1.
They just started the match for the Team Spirit versus a team I had not heard of before G2.iG
This one might be the 2-0 match you were wanting it to be for the Falcons.
Unfortunately, it ended in a draw because their draft felt forced with the Weaver carry. It nearly failed on the first map if Heroic didn't lose their patience and on the second map, they still went for a similar draft like they were limit testing. Then in their next series, they quickly 2-0'd a much better team (Azure Ray).  Lips sealed

I was also curious how they're suddenly giving out 2-0s, and it appears more than half of their games are close losses where it's decided through one or two big team fights in the mid to late game.

It's still doable, but they'll need a flawless performance for their three remaining series.

Spirit is 0-3 in Elite League so far and last place in their group and I think some changes might happen within Team Spirit Dota 2 team and Miposha might take a break as he helped this team to reach the highest level of Dota not once but twice.

Today they lost the series against Entity after leading in both maps in networth but eventually Wattson showed us why he is the highest ranked player in Europe and why he is having 13k mmr just like 23savage.  Cool

It sucks to be a Team Spirit fan right now. They are just not finding their groove in the Elite League even though they are still top tier players with a lot of things to still offer in the Dota scene. And yes, Miposhka might be benched after this tournament no matter the outcome and just rest it out for a bit. That man has always wanted to have a 'long vacation' based on some of his interviews and play Dota without any pressure.
Or maybe they are really just that trying out to be that in the bottom but not literally trying themselves to be out of the tourney. We dont know on whats up into their minds whether their plays are already not that effective anymore or simply they are saving up some strategy for later. It is really that quite odd watching their plays considering that this team is a 2 time TI champion
and having these gameplays then you could say that they arent that as good as before or simply their opponents are really just that too good?
There are really that lower tier teams are kicking up those tier 1 teams asses.  Grin

All of the matches on this round robin stage are all best of 2 and this is a crucial stage to be honest because it's hard to get a 2-0 and with many teams having tied up with 1-1 score, I won't be surprised if by the end of this stage there will be a lot of tie breakers.

They just started the match for the Team Spirit versus a team I had not heard of before G2.iG
It's actually Invictus Gaming(IG), they're a former TI winner that has won it on 2012. Whilst G2 is a known organization in CS2 if I'm not mistaken, they're sponsoring now for IG and they're doing good at this moment because they're ranked #1 for this Elite league for this round robin stage but it's not yet done as there are still three days left. By the way, this is the recap for the third day of this RR.

Cs2 major just ended and we are already onto the next big CS LAN  Cool

Iem chengdu is starting on monday , and its been a while since we had a big CS lan in asia, although some big teams like navi,spirit ,vitality are missing  Sad

Those three missing teams could've been invited as a partner team, but maybe they turned it down because they prefer a longer break.

After the IEM Chengdu, there's only a 9-day break until another big tournament (ESL S19) starts.



Also, i'm taking a shot at Team Falcons to 2-0 Heroic @1.58. I like the odds on this one since Heroic already lost two of their three series to slightly weaker teams (against PSG.Quest and G2.IG).

Surprisingly, Team Spirit was beaten by Heroic. Our 2-time TI champs have been beaten by the SA team, Heroic. Should I say not surprising since I am a fan of K1 Hector who's the position 1 of this team.

On the other bracket which is the B side, Aurora has beaten their co-SEA team Blacklist without even 23savage but their stand-in, the child prodigy satanic is doing it.

He's a good one honestly and I think after this tournament, there will be some teams that's going to take him as everyone is going to focus again in gaining EPT points for the TI 2024.
It's impressive that they beat Team Spirit in the second map with a position 1 Troll. I thought it'd go 1-1 thinking Troll wouldn't become a problem as he can be easily kited during his ult.

That SEA matchup was expected to go in the way of Aurora even without 23, and it looked like a complete outdraft on their side as Blacklist only had 14 kills in total.

It's still too early to tell when this was only his second series with Aurora, but it'll be interesting to follow their other series once they start meeting the scarier teams.
Speaking of 23, it's said that he's going to be back. And going with Team Spirit's performance, they've got 2 series for this day that were done already.

They've got 1-1 against Falcons and then 0-2 against Entity. I can say that Entity is doing well at the beginning of this round robin while Team Spirit is struggling.

4 days left until this stage ends and I guess that's enough for them to get more series wins.

Anyway, I made a bet on Falcons to win for 1.65 and Im kinda regretting it now lol. The risk reward ratio isnt that great afterall but its Falcons though so they should be able to win easily

I cant actually believe that I hit a winner with Falcons to win but yeah its falcons and we all know how dominating they are. Its like watching the old GG dominate the pro scene all over, bet -1.5 and you will win most of the time

Falcons is the new shit in the Dota scene. Their moves are buttery smooth, controls the map easily, and takes fights like they just know what the outcome is. They have some difficulties in the laning phase but they make up for it with a nice and very conservative mid game. It's fun to watch new teams dominate the scene that's being dominated and bossed around by a few oldheads and also bring new things in the table.

It's always great if you could always get them with decent odds, and watch the magic unfold like it's a normal day for them.

Anyway, AR 1-1 against G2.IG sounds like a good bet?
That sounds good enough, both of them are equally matched in terms of skill level and this only goes 2-0 if either side goes overboard in their draft.

I agree, for Nigma Galaxy to thrive, they likely need a better captain, and maybe having a sixth player who can sub for Kuro wouldn't be a bad idea. I assume that's the best approach because I doubt he'll remove himself from the team he started

The best move that they could have right now is to start everything out from scratch. Miracle and Sumail might once be a top player but for now they are not that good, thats a fact. Totally love them but its pretty hard to watch them lose their lane almost every single game. They should have probably scrap off members off the other team once new season starts though

Anyway, AR 1-1 against G2.IG sounds like a good bet?

And going back with one of the matches of BB against GG on their 2nd map, it's a crazy match and they've been just destroyed easily by GG through destroying their barracks. Heroes of GG weren't really good for late game but they're able to win and that DK of quinn was crazy and was like on a pills, BB was so close in winning the 2nd map but GG defended the tree and they just don't want to give up so they did won.
I had to check the highlights of that second map, and the high-ground defense from GG was too strong with Enigma, Rubick, and DK spamming all their spells while BB barely had anything when it was their time to defend.

Ace's Enigma was clutch in the 5v5 engagements catching 1-2 core heroes every time he uses his ultimate.
Yeah, everyone did their job and with the help of seleri's IO. That DK became the actual carry and with attack speed and desolator on that IO, well, the towers and barracks have been broken too easy. Now, I am watching the first map of Blacklist and Tundra and it seems that this is going to be an easy first game for Tundra. The heroes of Tundra are way better because they've got meepo as their carry and chen and they're going to make this match end early. While for the Blacklist, they've got lifestealer as their carry and the other heroes doesn't seem to click to what they're planning, I guess that they've been outdrafted and Tundra is doing it right and have taken their heroes as well. As of typing this, the game is on the 17 minutes mark so there's still a lot to happen but in my analysis, Tundra has got the advantage based on their draft.

PS: Map 1 is done, what a game and that analysis of mine was good during the early game and despite that Blacklist proved that despite being outdrafted, they've won. Tundra wasn't able to end it as the defense of Blacklist at the top tier 3 tower was too strong. I think the momentum was when pure's meepo has been skewered on that tier 3 top tower and it snowballed.
