It is a Drow carry and it did not go well for them. Entity took the first map. I did not watch the match but it was just 33 minutes so it might be one-sided match. They have a better draft in Map 2 with IO-Lesh combo so it might be a draw after all. Sorry about your first bet.

On top of that, Nisha's Snapfire didn't have any impact at all, while Entity's Invoker was on point with the setups and gave TA an easy time to land the right clicks.

OG is disappointing to watch, they're the only team in Group B without a win and fumbled the second game against beastcoast.

Quest still performing great, currently with a 4-0 record, and might take the top spot in Group B.

That first map from Liquid killed a few of my otherwise winning tickets. I believe long pause unsettled them a bit.

Quite though to call the games in this first phase, I expected much more 1:1 results like it was in previous tournament.

Quest performing this well with a new man in a roster is also a bit of surprise. I think I will wait few days before betting big on this tournament. Have to get a feeling for the teams.

For the start of the Riyadh Masters it seems that Entity had got up on the right side of the bed this morning where they are leading a map on Team Liquid.
And TSM already had beat Execration and Team Aster handing Virtus Pro a defeat with another 2-0 scoreline.
For the opening matches of this Riyadh tournament in Saudi arabia.

Looks like the first game are pure lottery because I had difficulties to even catch 1 bet ...but I hope I can bounce it back on this 2nd round of games.

Teams who looks strong : Liquid , Aster , Secret , Beastcoast.

Team who are really performing bad : OG , Execration and VP.

This can change a bit as 9Pandas and TSM are having a solid run so far but I don't see any changing for OG , Exe and VP as these 3 teams are really performing awful so far Sad

My first bet for today's Riyadh Master is on Team Liquid @1.78 vs Entity. I don't think Entity has a chance even with their new offlaner Gabbi, but it can still go to a draw if Team Liquid becomes overconfident and drafts a Sniper carry like last time.

Riyadh Master has commenced and here is my bet for the first day of Play-In.

I tried to parlay all of Team Liquid's matches, but Stake won't let me do it. Does anyone know if Sportsbet will allow me to parlay Team Liquid's matches? I would like to bet for them to win all their remaining matches today.

Is there a stage already tomorrow? It is just the Play-in so I do not expect it to be on the stage. Normally, DOTA attracts crowds only during the playoffs and finals. I do not see much audience during the group stage.

There will be six games playing all at once and it's rare to see a stage with that many teams unless they have a stage similar to BLAST because I remember they pulled it off before.

Also, I saw the new esports promotion called GG Weekly, it's more of a wagering contest mainly for esports so we'll probably see the big players take the top spots right away but i'll try my best to reach the top 50 at the end of the week. Wink

Good luck. It will be a tall order but doable.

For anyone interested in GG Weekly, here is how you can join.

And here is the weekly prize pool structure:

Tomorrow we have the opining of Ryhad masters and I've been waiting for this one for a while now and personally I expect a full crowd tomorrow because last time , we barely had 100 people into the arena which is sad because we have tier 1 teams competing for tier 1 prizes.

For predictions ...I think it's now or never for Liquid to win a major in this format and have full confidence going into TI but if GG wins again ...a lot of teams of dota 2 should just retire because it's clearly that they are not playing the same game like GG does. Grin

This is not a major but equally competitive. GG has mastered this patch already. It will be different in TI since I think Valve will drop a patch right before TI so it will be an equal ground for all the qualified teams. GG may be winning the last few Majors but it will be harder to win on TI. The first to adopt to the new patch will have a good chance of taking it.

Riyadh Masters 2023 is about to start in 2 days. It is one of the highest prize pools for e-sports this year so earning a spot is hard.

What I've got in mind is that someday that if Riyadh masters or Saudi Arabia keeps on developing their country as an e-sports hub. Someday the tournaments that will be held there could even surpass the prize pooling for the grandest TI.

But for now, this is actually a good tournament and with all seriousness from the participating teams prior to their participation in the TI12.

Good luck to all of the teams and I hope that most of the bettors this time will be having a great dinner with their bets. Tongue

This year's prize pool is almost the same as last year's TI prize pool. The TI prize pool was low last year compared to the year before can be attributed to the bad Battle Pass. If Valve will release a better battle pass and does not split it like last year, TI may return to the sub-40 million prize pool. It will be hard for Riyadh to match that.

Anyway, 15 million is already a large pot for e-sports. Not so many e-sports have that much of a prize pot.

Valve does have their own way of thinking of how it's going to be shared to the teams and with this upcoming TI. We all know that everybody shares the help through the Battle pass sales but since they don't have it this year, I guess that we probably have seen the peak of it.

And sooner or later when the prize pool for the TI drops, it's going to be that most players and teams will be preparing more to get qualified in Riyadh masters if ever this happens again.

It will be interesting to see which team will be in the top 2 spots of Group B. Unless there is a major upset, I am predicting most of group B will qualify for the Group stage of Riyadh Masters.

I have the same expectation for Group B maybe except for Xtreme Gaming. They're the only questionable team in their group since this is their first time playing against the other regions.

Below is the schedule for the Play-In Tournament.

It looks like Team Liquid got the best schedule atm as they'll be facing every team that hasn't found success in the previous majors and then will face Team Aster on the last day.

Well, they belong to the easier group. I think they will dominate this group again and move on to the Group stage. I see Group B having a harder time with their matches. Secret, OG, 9Pandas, and Quests grouped together. It will be interesting to see which team will be in the top 2 spots of Group B. Unless there is a major upset, I am predicting most of group B will qualify for the Group stage of Riyadh Masters.

I'm thinking this because if a dead game like Overwatch 2 has betting support , why wouldn't apex be there ? the player base is way more big in Apex than Overwatch. Cool

The only thing missing is support from the odds providers so that bookies could start offering odds for Apex Legends and I think I could get into betting Apex Legends as i've had fun watching the ALGS recently. Wink

ATF is out for the Quest Esports in this upcoming Riyadh Masters. It's not because of any attitude issue like what people are thinking about it. It's about that Quest and Nigma didn't agree with the terms that they got as ATF was just a loan back then.
Read the news: Quest Esports Parts Ways With ATF Due to Contractual Issues

It is bad to lose ATF this close to the play-in tournament for Riyadh Masters. But I think they will be good if they are looking for Reso or Tobi to replace him. They have time to get comfortable with the other members of the team. As for TI, I think it is best for them to replace ATF. He is good but his hero pool is quite limited. That is the issue for them in the Bali Major. Since ATF has a limited hero pool, the other team can easily predict their drafting patterns.

Riyadh Masters 2023 is about to start in 2 days. It is one of the highest prize pools for e-sports this year so earning a spot is hard. And I expected the play-in tournament will be as gruesome. Each team will be playing 4 matches on Day 1 of the Play-In Tournament. Each match is BO2, so that means each team will be playing 8 maps on Day 1. That is quite a lot of games for a very short period of time. It will be mentally challenging for each team.

The rules for the Play-In Tournament is as follows:

What you guys thinks about Apex Legends making into Esports betting scene ? There is a big tournament on-going right now and I must say the hype on this game has always been there but I do want to see Apex making into betting scene because they do have a lot of important teams competing like TSM , NRG , Furia , Optic ETC so I think they have what it needs to making into betting. Also , you could bet on zones , legends , winner , top 10 and so on.

Also , the game in pro scene is very competitive and a single mistake can cost you a wipe of your time.

I'm thinking this because if a dead game like Overwatch 2 has betting support , why wouldn't apex be there ? the player base is way more big in Apex than Overwatch.

Have heard of Apex Legends and their mobile version which is cross-platform which can make for an interesting scene sort of like how Fortnite made it's road to success among everyone since who doesn't have a mobile phone.
There had been some recent news of a revamp of some of the workings in season 18 of this game:
https://www.pcgamesn.com/apex-legends/season-18-revenant-rework

But there had been some rumblings on reddit for a while of players distaste for it since it was released when there was warzone and since it is more of a battle royale feel to the game there was no comparisons there.

Isn't there a way to check the MMR or the leaderboards?

There's no other way aside from the screenshot because the leaderboards only show the position.

Okay, thanks. I thought that there's a way that it can be checked since there's a way to check every current game even just for the images and real time trackers.

There are also rumors that 7.34patch will drop just before the TI regional qualifiers begin so whatever strategies teams had before this patch , it just become irrelevant.

It's not a rumor, it's a fact. The one who's assigned in doing these updates have officially posted it on his Facebook and Twitter account. I don't know with his other socials but if you know Wykrhm Reddy then you can check it. He's icefrog.

It seems a patch has just been dropped and most OP heroes have been nerfed including Medusa. There are also rumors that 7.34patch will drop just before the TI regional qualifiers begin so whatever strategies teams had before this patch , it just become irrelevant.

Complete list of heroes who got nerfed : Brood , Doom , Ember , Enchantress , Medusa , Morph (thank God for this ) , Pugna , Storm ( my favorite midlaner had a brief moment of success it seems Sad

) , Techies ( finally no more techies 1st pick ) , Timbersaw , Undying ( glad as Grab Ally was to big in important fights ).

The teams for the play-in stages are already revealed and group B might be the tougher group between the two as I see three to four teams that can potentially fight for top 2 and avoid the decider series.

Team Liquid will probably dominate in group A again when half of their group has some of the weaker teams like TSM, Execration, and Entity. Or they can play less seriously as the elimination only starts during the decider series.

Oh so true! I forgot about the "second TI of the year" where the prize is up to 15mil$. I was so sure we have no other major until TI but hey , Riyadh Master is something that every team wants to win just because of the prize pool and just because most of the teams will pull out their TI strategies.

I just saw that Secret will be there in the current format : Puppey , Armel , FBZ , Yamich , Heen. Shocked

I saw their post as well and it's good that they're the ones who got the final spot after seeing them step up during the previous DreamLeague.
