It might be possible for Secret to pull out a new team or at least to say goodbye to a couple of members because yesterday Gorc said that it was a big discussion on their channel yesterday with Yammich , Boom and Armel and a lot of board members from Secret because they relegated to Div 2 again and something is really going wrong there and I hope is not Puppey because he is Team Secret after all but I would not be socked to see Puppey going in NA with Arteezy once again as the bromance is still there between them.

Nobody would of seen these two teams making it to the finals of Intel Extreme Masters winning against both of their opponents Faze and Heroic.
Ence vs Mouz for IEM Dallas 2023 to see who lifts the trophy in two hours from now.
Mouz is @2.15x and Ence @1.65x who are the favorites. But Mouz has improved alot since they are a squad full of young players and it is their very first finals. So expect nerves to show in the tournaments last day.
Maps for over 2.5 and under are almost the same @1.85x and @1.88x which can be chosen at the Esports hub:

So the match of Talon and Execration was done and it ended up good for Execration as they're now qualified for the Bali major. While Talon, it's just for the potential placing but they're also likely to get a secured slot.
There's only one match remaining and that's Army Geniuses and Blacklist. If Blacklist wins against AG then the placing will be BL on 3rd and Talon as 4th and both of them will still go to the major.
But if BL loses against AG then we have a decider placing match which is the battle for 3rd and 4th place but still, both places will go Bali major but the difference is the DPC points.
Based on the Liquipedia rankings, it should be more than enough since the minimum will only go down even further.There's only one match remaining and that's Army Geniuses and Blacklist.

On top of the Blacklist win, we'll still be getting a tiebreaker, but it's between them and Execration fighting for second and third place.
There's also unfortunate news Team Secret will be heading to Division 2 for the next season after failing to win the last two maps against Tundra. I wonder who'll be the other team that'll join them.

While they're not yet secured for the Bali major as they only have 1 match remaining. I think if they've just won against Xerxia, they are probably secured a slot now.
I think that if Bleed and Talon will win their respective matches as both of them still has two matches, maybe Blacklist will end 3rd or 4th but will still qualify for the major.
I'm avoiding to bet on them because they're still inconsistent IMO.
I agree five wins would've guaranteed them third place, and for now, they have to root for SMG and Talon to take down Execration to avoid the tiebreaker scenario.I think that if Bleed and Talon will win their respective matches as both of them still has two matches, maybe Blacklist will end 3rd or 4th but will still qualify for the major.

That's why i've been betting against them this tour because in the last two tours, they've been a letdown and only shown some improvements in their previous two or three series.

As for some news about the DPC points and The International 2023, Gaimin Gladiators just got enough points so they're already got their direct invitation to go there and the same goes for the first SA team to get a direct invite which is the EG.
In total, we've got three teams securing slot for the TI 2023.
- Team Liquid
- GG
- Evil Geniuses

Funny how BetBoom is competing in Malta Cup but I do see why they look to perform in a lot of competition and that is to increase their team play and chemistry as much as they can before TI happens. Also , so far it seems BetBoom is finally looking like the team they were suppose to look when they form this team and even if Spirit is in front in DPC , I do think BetBoom is overall the better team.

IEM matches yesterday were non-stop and was watching the Faze vs Cloud 9 on late with of course the favorites winning like most of the teams that played.
The only one that surprised me were G2 Esports with not even securing a third map going down 2-0 to Heroic.
I think Heroic are still upset with the defeat in Paris to Vitality.
So we have in the quarter-finals Astralis vs Mouz and G2 vs Faze today.
Tomorrow Heroic and EnCE will face off the winners of these matches.
For their shot at a place in the finals on Sunday.

Hoping for a Talon sweep (-1.5), I don't know what's the issue on the side of BOOM Esports, but their roster isn't working out regardless of how decent it looks on paper.

Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023 is really getting started and the best of 3 maps were today.
Faze is getting their heads handed to them on a platter by ENcE right now for the final match of the day.
I placed bets on the earlier matches and they all won easily.
Always seems these later stage matches later in the day are causing the top teams to drop matches in these IEM tournaments.
CounterStrike: It's in our DNA video released in vivid 4k looks very nice for this tournament beginning on June 2nd running until the 4th.

Blacklist won this match. It was a good match up and despite that, both teams are likely to go together in Bali major but the difference is their DPC points whoever gets a better standing at the end of this tour.
Going to WEU, what a pitiful 2nd and 3rd map for Team Secret. They've won with their first map but then got swept by Quest for 2nd and 3rd map. There's a serious change that I think Puppey needs to do in terms of draft like the third map with their pick, it's not really wise at all to get that medusa as part of their picks.
Quest won easy and ATF's anti-mage offlane made it easy for Team Secret's medusa to struggle in farming.
As much as many would like to see Team Secret win, they just can't. Dota is rough for them.
That win from Blacklist was impressive, and it's now their major spot to lose, as they still have one series left against AG. And I need to stop betting against them because this is my third time fading these guys and i'm now 0-3. Going to WEU, what a pitiful 2nd and 3rd map for Team Secret.

I was impressed with Team Secret when they won that Windranger pick in the first game, I thought they were most likely losing, but it still worked regardless of the hero's bad record in the DPC games. The Medusa pick was okay in game 3, but they fell for Quest's trap after banning carry heroes in the first phase, and Quest quickly countered her with an offlane AM.
The pick was fine but Quest did managed to counter that too easy and that offlane AM was just so sick and annoying for Crystallis' medusa. I hate it and I'll be tilted if ever I'm on his shoe, keep on dying easily. May 29, 2023, 09:10:22 PM

We're in the final week of the DPC Division 1 and Bleed got some good odds against Blacklist Rivalry. They're only one win away from locking their spot in the major but their biggest priority is going 7-0 and taking first place because they haven't earned any points in the last two tournaments.

These are the teams that have secured the Bali major slots for this region:
These two still need to secure those top placements for the DPC points, but i'm rooting for Aster to take the first place as they're more capable of getting better results on the international stage over PSG.LGD.- PSG.LGD
- Team Aster

Finally some CS to watch today in the Intel Masters 2023 in Dallas starts up again in the next couple of hours.
Still a few more months until we see Source2 in action but for now the GO will be alright.
Will get to see Faze, G2 and Heroic play after these teams were eliminated from Blast Premier last pro-league.

Going on Dota 2 from China Region, two teams out of four slots are already secured and these two teams are ready to go now in Bali. Hopefully, no VISA issues for all of them. These are the teams that have secured the Bali major slots for this region:
Yes, Sumail is going to Bali major. What a run even if this DPC Tour 3 isn't finished yet.
While for the other regions, some visibility is already seen for those teams but most of them still need to finish some matches before proclaimed secured slot.
- PSG.LGD
- Team Aster

Apeks vs Monte right now is a 3 map match I'd guess. They both did great in the major and are literally ranked next to each other.
Yup very close one. The third map even went into double overtime. I hope that Apeks can take down Spirit Academy in the grand final, even with the 0-1 handicap. They should learn from their earlier loss. They deserve that EPL spot after that major performance.

Funny how Puppey said that if his team makes it to TI this year "Everyone is f...ed" 
and to be true , they have 4th , 3rd , 2nd place in the last 3 TI's ...so there is actually a chance for them to win it . Meanwhile , they have a very long road to go and it looks like last TI qualifiers chance might be their last hope or they go nuts now and win every game they have left in DPC.
After their loss against Entity, there's no way they can qualify through DPC points, and they should worry about avoiding relegation first because they only have two series left. and to be true , they have 4th , 3rd , 2nd place in the last 3 TI's ...so there is actually a chance for them to win it . Meanwhile , they have a very long road to go and it looks like last TI qualifiers chance might be their last hope or they go nuts now and win every game they have left in DPC. They are looking to be relegated again. That is twice in a row now if that happens. I do not think they can win against Tundra and Quest.
Anyway, it is not impossible for them to still qualify for TI. They have done it last year and even made it to the finals. But just like Puppey said, the gambling gods are f..ed if ever they make it to TI this year. If I remember right, they found their key player last year in Riyadh Masters. Maybe they will find their key player again in Riyadh this year. A lot can still happen between now and the next TI qualifier. Who knows, maybe Puppey can be lucky again and pull another Last Chance Qualifier run.
Meanwhile , BetBoom seems to find a way to actually play good dota and stop trowing during mid game but I'm curious if they will perform good in next Major because the hype around this team is very big in Eastern Europe.
They should be playing well and should dominate Eastern Europe. They have a stacked lineup. I do not think they are throwing, but since this team is new to each other, adjustments must be made. They will dominate the DOTA scene soon. And I think we are seeing the start of it.
May 27, 2023, 03:33:48 PM
Team Secret really cannot catch a break in Dota 2 scene 
as they might head once again towards Div 2 DPC and that would put an end to their TI dreams this year.

s1mple had the capability to be in every major though he is younger but besides that his behavior when he was younger was way off the mark of what would have allowed him to be on any major team despite his skill. So he had to progress to where he is now and is lucky he is even allowed, Swag another player of that early era is banned forever unfortunately; one of the greatest players I think he went to 2 majors total.

Earlier today, Quest with a shocking loss against D1 Hustlers, and they somehow found success with their carry Medusa. I thought this should be a freebie for Quest, but they got punished in game 3 for not respecting D1 Hustlers' pick from the first game, where they lost. They could've secured fourth place if they won this series, and now the other teams such as OG and Entity can force a tiebreaker.
