Maybe BB ran out of ideas in the grand finals and became desperate at the last game because I remember in the UB final of game 3 they tried to ban most of his best heroes like the Razor, Timbersaw, and Mars, which still didn't work.

Probably this has something to do with mentality on the game as well. I mean, by banning his heroes thats basically like saying " Yep you are good and we are scared of you playing this hero " so thats basically give him the mentality to even wreck that top lane though

Speaking of Elite League, I noticed that in the MENA qualifiers, Nigma Galaxy might qualify this time as their only competition would be Winter Bears. Grin

Its about damn time that Nigma qualify for a tournament. I really missed having them play in a top tier tournament although I know they are probably not gonna make it to playoff. If Nigma lose in this qualifiers then I guess its about time they disband the team completely and rebuild it from the scratch though

Anyway, prizepool of this tournament is huge but too bad its another online tournament

IIRC, Ammar's best hero is Mars. If I am going to be against with him, I'd never give him this hero to be honest. I'd just give the respect ban to him because that's his crafted hero for a very long time and he'd been playing with that again and again.

I'd just always put that mars of ammar because it's always making an impact. I can't remember that there's a game that he's a lackluster with that hero. But even with that, as you've said, he's too flexible and has got a huge hero pool that he can always play with. As said by him, he'd just play that repetitively when he's given that hero and it's always open for picking, I think it's mars that's his favorite hero. That's what I'll just do if I am a coach of a team that will face him, I've got mad respect for him but mostly him playing mars.

there's now the Elite League (SEA) that's currently happening.

Who even are the winterbears? As for checking the roster of it, I don't even know their players and I am not familiar with any of them. But you are right with them, only 4 teams for the MENA qualifiers and if they lose on this one, I don't know what to say with Nigma galaxy. The toughest team in the MENA currently is Falcons and good thing they're already qualified and invited for this elite league. I guess most teams that don't have that much luck in their regions should migrate to MENA and have their bootcamps there. However, AFAIK, operating cost there sure a lot but these orgs have got money.

Falcons are indeed a great team but owning 2 finals in a row BetBoom with 3-0 is kinda rough for a team like BB to accept and I'm sure this team will bounce back stronger and maybe they will get revenge on ESL Birmingham in a couple of weeks.

Overall , what can I say about this finals besides Ammar making Eye of Skadi in 3rd map on hero Mars who absolutely had a massive impact on health regen on Morph and his ability to moprh intro strength got basically cut in half. That's why I consider Ammar a very IQ talented player who knows how to approach a game and get out of comfort zone when it comes to builds , play-style and many more. Cool

That was nuts!
Before this finals I had never watched a match of Team Falcons or ever even heard of them before being mentioned on this thread.
https://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/news/70788-team-falcons-keep-the-wins-rolling-claim-dreamleague-season-22-championship-title
Watched a bit of the last map and they were dominate from what I had seen from their gameplay.

Might make a bet on them for their next tournament they qualify for because I really thought BetBoom was sure to take this DL and go all the way winning it.

As you have said, Falcons is the kryptonite of BetBoom. No doubt that they're able to prolong the game 3 and I thought that they'd win against Falcons because they have morph but it seems that they're also exhausted coming from 2 straight wins against Xtreme gaming. This is always the case for most teams, whoever lands the grand finals and are waiting always takes the advantage for having enough sleep and rest and there's no pressure at all. Let's see them again on ESL Birmingham and for sure that BetBoom will prepare mostly for Falcons next month.

In fact with an interview, when he's asked about playing a hero repeatedly, he don't mind that as long as they're going to win the game. No doubt that he's talented and a very high IQ player and good thing that PSG.Quest dropped him and he left Nigma too.

Ahh , it seems Falcons are indeed the kryptonite of BetBoom because once again they had first map , almost had the 2nd one and lost the 3rd one and the series. Hopefully , tomorrow their drafter will be much more inspired than picking Troll ( a hero who needs urgent remake of that ultimate ) and it will chose a more direct approach towards team fights like Morph or even Void and maybe stop giving Miero it's Lycan if the team is not consent to push and end the game until minute 35ish.

They are now facing each other in the grand finals. Despite BetBoom was sent to the lower bracket after Team Falcons victory on their first match on the playoffs, BetBoom still managed to win against Xtreme Gaming and these two teams are now in the grand finals. But with the current score of this grand finals, it is 2-0 in favor of team Falcons and this is to note that it's only a best of 5 series and one more game as of typing this, they'll be the champions of this Dream League Season 22 just after they've also won the BetBoom Dacha tournament.

As of watching their 3rd match now, Team Falcons is on the lead but the game hasn't ended yet but they are leading the game and likely to get this grand finals for the 3rd game.

Quote from: boltz on March 09, 2024, 07:49:09 PM

For Falcons ...what can you say ? no matter who you counter in the draft , Ammar , Skitter or Marline , there is always one of them who will have a perfect lane and also always pick great supports like Cr!t and it's SD who basically won game 3 for them. Grin

They're like the typical Tundra that we've known. They are strong and good thing that Ammar and cr1t have found teammates where they can rely on and this is really all about the chemistry that they have. I think that they're having good communication for each of their games because each of their plays and calls are always on point.

Anyway, the last game for today would be GG vs XG. I cant recall the last time GG missed a playoff so they should be the safe bet for this last game though but the I just checked the odds and it sucks so bad. Its only 1.65 for GG to win and Im not buying it, not even gonna think of taking -1.5 because I might got screwed again lol

See this is why I should shut my mouth up because everything has been going the opposite of what I wrote / said. My losing streak in dota2 is just unbelievable. Well not really losing streak but I lost like 8 times out of 10 times betting and that sucks. Geez I guess GG is already out of the favourites huh, this is the first time since like the last 1.5 years that they dont make it to the playoff

That tends to happen to me aswell when I am betting on other sports, so it just might work for you with betting on Dota2.
Remember Garmin Gaming winning all their matches last year so it just might be the patch boltz has mentioned just below your post on why your picks have been off is all.
Adjust to what those changes affect the teams. So in other words, observe what those where after the update.
Works for me for the entire overall of CounterStrike.

And yuragi, a former position 1 of OG signed to NaVi together with Sanctity of Mongolia whom is also a good player that's giving headache in the SEA. So, both of them will play for NaVi and I think it's a good thing for Sanctity to explore playing outside his country.

That's a big boost for NaVi, but still, qualifying is tough when there's Spirit, BetBoom, and VP unless they all get a direct invite.

They've got an edge. I think this is the era when I am optimistic with new transfers and roster changes because you'll never know if the new set of roster will have a better result than the older ones who have ego and management issues. So, here goes the new complete set of Na'Vi

Quote from: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Natus_Vincere

Yuragi
sanctity
nefrit
Zayac
Malady Captain

I am not familiar with nefrit but I guess he's got the biggest role here as told by most of the pro players. It's always the offlaner has the biggest role in early, mid and even in the late game because they are play makers and space maker for their carry.

Also, if you have missed it guys as we wait for the playoffs of DreamLeague, there's now the Elite League (SEA) that's currently happening.

Last night , I was very mad on PA gameplay but not on Dyracho because he had no control over the dagger which went into tormentor and reflected it's dmg back and killed him...because that was the missing buyback when they basically lost the game cause of backdoor protection and a massive duel on PA who at that point had no business being near Ancient when protection kicked in ...but like I said , I consider that move a Valve for that Pa mistake.

I also saw a clip of that incident yesterday, it was so unfortunate for Dyrachyo and GG because it could've gone either way if it weren't for that unexpected ult proc.

Just watched this video made a few days ago about how this MOBA came to be from Blizzard who actually didn't even license the game. This saga of how League of Legends & DOTA2 came to be is unreal,
Blizzard Is Worse Than You Thought

MOBA started from there, warcraft and Blizzard too bad that they didn't reinvent the game and instead allowed Valve to make their '2' version for Dota. Anyway, we've got a lot of transfers that just happened this day, MJZ from South America will play for Blacklist International as their position 5. And yuragi, a former position 1 of OG signed to NaVi together with Sanctity of Mongolia whom is also a good player that's giving headache in the SEA. So, both of them will play for NaVi and I think it's a good thing for Sanctity to explore playing outside his country.

And we already have a place and venue where the next The International will happen this September, and it's going to be in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I feel you. The current patch of Dota 2 really shuffled the power of Dota 2 pro teams right ? The ones who were dominating last year are struggle right now and those who had a decent 2023 are now powerful ( BetBoom is the best example ).

XG at game 1.

And as the game 2 is in progress at 20 minute mark, it seems that this is going to be an XG game again.

Its totally a bullshit. XG dominated map 1 and also dominated map 2 on early of the game which should have gone as expected but yeah they somehow lose the game. Well not that it really matters for me anymore on game 3 but its just frustating to watch that XG had to lose after dominating the early game again. I've said this few times, not really fond of SEA and chinese teams but I have a soft spot for Ame so totally would love to see him on top again to try and win TI

Well, while this game was already done. There's like this the same sickness of SEA and Chinese teams that even when they have been dominating at the early game, during the mid-game to late game, that's where they're choking.

On the other hand, XG was able to get into the playoffs together with the other three remaining team. But XG's bracket is on the lower bracket semifinal and they will be up against Team Spirit. While for the upper bracket, it's going to be BetBoom and Team Falcons.

Four teams remaining and what do you think about this type of formatting? The semis seems to be quicker to end but I like more the group stages because it has 2 phases and we're able to watch more games.

What is this move done during the game, think it is called Crono. They engulf all players in a sphere of black to inflict massive damage.

That's chronosphere, an ultimate skill of Faceless Void ~ https://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/skill/chronosphere-56

Quote from: arallmuus on March 07, 2024, 04:38:20 PM

Chronosphere ? yeah it basically stop everyone inside that sphere and the hero that casted it would be able to do damage inside that sphere unless it is interrupted

Yeah, he's the only one that can move inside and another catch here is that when rubick copies that chronosphere then only two of them can move inside of it if Rubick is the one that casted that. Otherwise, it's only Faceless Void at all times can move there and all of his controlled units including illusions.

Where are the OG fans here? They're the next team that's eliminated from this Dreamleague. I'm just confused about this final match and points system, Team Spirit is currently at the 3rd rank with a stats of 9-9, while XG and GG are fighting now (1-0 goes to XG). If XG wins this, is it going to be a triple tie or it is going to be a tie breaker between XG and GG. I am not sure how the calculation goes upon reading this points system for this whole group stages. But if XG wins this, I think that GG is the next team that shall get eliminated. CMIIW.
Or I'll just have to wait and see who's going to win this series.

Well instead of the kill score, you might wanna look at the gold difference instead because thats where everything matters. Its on the score tab as well, there should be small print of the gold differences there. Sometimes the other team could have gotten alot more kill but they might not have higher gold overall

I'm sorry to see your ticket being ruined by Aurora even though they did well in copying the Sven pick from Falcons.

Well kinda expected shitty situation to unfold there. I mean Aurora is already on the brink of not going to get to the playoff stage so totally no pressure on them at all but I didnt expect OG to win after losing 1 map there.

Quote from: rdbase on March 06, 2024, 07:35:49 AM

Team Spirit looked as if they were on the verge of a comeback but BetBoom had something called Cronos that just destroyed all their players right at the end when it was still 36-23 for the first map.
Not sure what odds they were prematch but the esport bookies still have confidence Team Spirit can still make a game of it.

So what bet did you ended up taking? Team Spirit won the 2nd and 3rd map though so if you bet on them after they lose the 1st map then I guess you should be getting decent odds from there. Anyway even if BetBoom lose against Team spirit, I dont think it really matters because they will still get the upper bracket if they win against Aurora tomorrow

Placed my bet on BetBoom but after they lost map 2 (which the score was 17-16 so I guess they lost it because of having their tower taken) cashed out.
What is this move done during the game, think it is called Crono. They engulf all players in a sphere of black to inflict massive damage.
Yeah, so just knew the oddsmaker had Team Spirit as the more dominant team going in. After getting 1-1 the odds flipped to 1.02 BB and 1.82 Spirit.

True, and earlier they're the only team to end Falcon's 10-0 map streak in the groups. Tongue

I used to think the same during their series against Xtreme Gaming, but after that, i've learned it's never over for them until the ancient drops or call GG.

On the final day of the second group stage, these two are what I think is safe enough to take. With Team Spirit taking out the second-best team BetBoom yesterday, beating OG should be an easier task so they could lock one of the two LB playoff spots. BetBoom still needs a win for the second UB playoff spot and I assume the best Aurora can get is a map win.
