It is getting quite boring as the matchups among them are very predictable. I would love to see a European or North American team to make it to the finals somehow to be the opponent of a Far East team but I know it isn't very realistic to expect now. Grin

Dude, nothing is impossible, if the results are too obvious, the battles will no longer be attractive Grin

getting into a final seems difficult, but what about semi-final, if they're lucky enough, they'll make it

I'm deciding between BLG and JDG, both are doing really well Roll Eyes

Of course it is a game in the end so anytime this look can change but there is still a huge gap to fill for European teams against those teams to be honest. I hope they can get better in time and we watch more competitive series.

Today I was able to watch the Gen.G - T1 series. T1 made a wonderful start by getting 2-0 ahead first. They were really stomping their opponent in those games. I liked Gumayusi a lot today by the way. His contribution to the team with his individual performance was really huge. The 3rd game of the series ended by a loss for them and I must admit it was Gumayusi's fault as he became complacent a little and couldn't position himself well. Winning only one fight there opened the doors of comeback for Gen.G and they made it even 2-2.

But T1 still stopped them by a solid effort in the last game. It was lovely to watch these great teams clashing against each other again after LCK.

My next play might be to take every over 3.5 maps because we're having a grand finals rematch on three out of the four series aside from G2 vs Mad Lions, and this season all four matchups went over four maps.

really interesting, this inadvertently creates an old scenario, like previous MSIs. Only one team can be selected from each region, and now it's repeating itself. I just had a win this afternoon in the match between T1 and GenG, fortunately they still do what I believe in Cheesy

When it led to game 5, I was really worried when T1 didn't do well in the B05 series lately.

This is the current look of the bracket stage in MSI. Round 1 was really comfortable for Chinese and Korean teams. Because European and North American teams are still far behind Far East countries on League of Legends. This has been the same for many years and still we don't see any change in this situation.

I believe JDP will win 3-0, do you want to bet on the score? Tongue

The odds got worse when it closed (from 1.54 to 1.35), but I still took it, knowing it was close to a free win. The second game was the closest out of the three and got me worried when GG led for almost 5k before throwing it back to JDG. Grin

I just want to see on how Team Secret will react on against GG. Since most of the strong teams that we know of didn't even get a flinched against GG with a series. There have been some losses but those were just like 1 lose for them and then the rest were all victories. Quinn and Armel match up and I know that many are still not yet impressed with Crystallis' performances for the past tournaments but it's all a team play and fight and we'll see how the chemistry of Team Secret with their new mid player Armel goes. They did well on the division 2 way up to their division 1 slot. While Ace is now an offlane for GG, he's been with Team Secret before as their position 1.

Lots of roster changes on which certain players do really go from one team to another. I didnt really expect for Armel to be able to join up a tier 1 team considering that he's been on SEA teams for long.

This does prove out that this guy is really that something have on which top tier teams do make out recognition about his skill. About GG then winning up that recent Berlin Major.
Trying even to look back against Liquid, then it did really show up that there's no really change on beating up this team. Skill execution, response and objectives is really that
crucially been followed.

There are a lot of talents that are willing to explore other regions as long as there's a team that will adopt them. It's good for them to try another region with experienced players and teams as well. That's a win-win for most of those players that are going to a different region because playstyle there is different but they'll surely adopt it as soon as their chemistry clicks in.

For Secret, then lets see on how Puppey would really be making out some nasty plans and looking for some ways on getting in par with GG if ever they would be able to
succeed on rallying on.

I am sure that he's got plans already on them because they've watched GG's matches on the Berlin major.

They could get away with it against the weaker teams, but against Gen.G that won't be easy to pull off.

yes, if we look back a bit, last spring, T1 won against GenG in all previous matches, I thought the championship definitely belonged to them. But in the final, they failed. Technically speaking, this failure is due to psychological factors and poor preparation in the pick and ban stage, they were overconfident in themselves instead of studying their opponent's nasty choices. I hope they don't make this mistake again Roll Eyes

The Cloud9 series earlier today was a letdown, I thought this would be the first competitive series we'll get in the playoffs, but I was wrong. Tongue

If the best NA team can't win against the second-best LPL team, then Golden Guardians need to brace themselves for the worse because JDG could speedrun the series if they want to.

it really has a huge difference, when was the last time NA got good results? If I remember correctly it was the semi-final in 2018, it was the only match that I know of, where a team from North America could make it to the semi-finals.

I believe JDP will win 3-0, do you want to bet on the score? Tongue

But you know what's the most exciting match in my mind? After Gaimin Gladiators won the Lima and Berlin Majors, it seems that they're unbeatable. What match I'm talking about of making me excited? It's this match between them and Team Secret. This is going to be on May 19 in the Western Europe region of this DPC tour 3. So, mark your calendars and don't miss that match.

I see that series ending with a quick 2-0 for GG, but we'll see how they hold up. Right now, I don't have high hopes for Team Secret in beating the top teams, but I think they can squeeze their way through the top 4 similar to how OG did last Tour.

For Dota ...I'm waiting 15th so the next DPC Will begin again and I do hope GG will be nerfed by Valve in a way or another because it's really not funny to watch a single team to dominated like that. If they cannot nerf them , just disband them by buying 2 guys from them as we all know , big teams tends to do that just because of this reason. We have many examples in the past about this strategy.

Haha, it has to come that Valve should nerf GG but anyway, they really are a strong team now. But we've seen teams like this except Tundra that have been consistent with all majors and stuff and made their easy way to winning their own TI title. I wish that GG will also be like them because there have been teams that became lackluster in terms of TI performances and one of them was Team Secret in the past. Although they've made well on their last TI I was talking about the other season year of TI when they performed very well with all majors and then fell short on the actual The International, I think that was 2018 or 2019 CMIIW.

T1 with one hell of a comeback against Mad Lions in game 1 as they tried to go for a similar composition that Gen G did and made it work. They might do it again here in game 2 as they're now 5k ahead and Mad Lions look hopeless atm.

that seems to be a test of the new lineup they want to use in the future, although it got off to a bad start when Faker kept lying down. But they can still return to the game after small skirmishes with a difference of up to 7K money. It really is something that T1, or SKT T1 have always been able to do since their empire was founded. T1 may not be the strongest team, but they've always been a team with awesome teamfights Roll Eyes

I'd say the nerf would be more likely to happen than disbanding the team since I don't see any players from GG moving to another team when this is their best chance to win TI. We'll probably get a balance patch sometime soon, but I still think that won't be enough to put GG down.

I've been slacking off with CS:GO for over an year but this Blast Major so far is freaking amazing! So many new teams that are on top ( at least for me ) that I didn't knew about them but have experienced players in their teams.

Gen.G really met the expectations by a solid performance today.

G2 Esports are normally a really capable team but it is just really difficult for them to compete with a strong Korean team at the same level. It was like this many years ago and there is still a huge gap between European and Korean teams in terms of team play on League of Legends.

It could have ended by 3-0 instead of 3-1 as well actually. It was due to Gen.G's being a little complacent in the 3rd game.

The individual matchups were too far apart for G2 and I agree, it should've been a 3-0 if it weren't for their unusual draft on the third game as they only had Peyz as their heavy hitter.

I was hoping I could place a bet on the T1 series but with these discouraging odds, it might be best to just watch the series. Cheesy

MAD Lions were quite surprising at the beginning of Game 1 by a really solid start. But as for the teamfights later on they weren't that much successful. T1 are one of the strongest Korean teams and they stayed strong mentally in those fights to turn the game around slowly.

By the way it was a really easy series for T1. I didn't understand one thing from MAD Lions side as well. While they were 2-0 behind I think they took a big risk by picking Ezreal against Jinx. It would have been more useful for them to have a champ that can scale a lot in late game. Because T1 made tactical picks against Ezreal. They had 3 tanks like Sion, Maokai and Tahm Kench so Ezreal couldn't do anything in Game 3.

Maybe both of you guys could pm Steve to look into why you can not participate in such promotions as these are for CounterStrike and shouldn't be any sort of problems with being region restricted as some have reported were their problem in the past.

You should be able to have your bets within the Esports hub as the Place your bets button at the very bottom of the screen redirects you there so to put in your bets for the contest.

It might be geo-restricted as I remember one of their previous CSGO promo was like that as well. Anyway, appreciate the help though, I will still continue betting as usual once this network overload is over.

There was another player who mentioned they have issues with the promotions offered on the site at times as well.

Decent promotion for sure. The multi bet failed on not seeing ENCE beat Faze, but I should have bet 3 maps there. Mouz I skipped which was good because they did upset again like the old days. I bet Grayhoundz rightly despite flailing and appearing weak somehow are enough of a threat and beat Mongolz; they shouldnt beat Nip today.
Multibet I went with is Faze over forze and Col to take it to 3 maps vs Liquid; they are both american teams and should be more familiar and possible to counter for that.
Mongolz and monte 3 maps, bit of a guess but its nice odds and playing in just a few minutes, OG over legion which I would hope should be simple enough for them. OG did lose last month on ancient to legion but they can ban right.

Monte are leading Mongolz and Gamerlegion are leading OG in the Blast.TV Paris early matches.

We have just got the draw in MSI for Stage 2 which is Bracket:

I also expect both EMEA teams to lose against both LCK teams since the gap is too much between these teams. The C9 vs BLG series is probably the closest series due to GG winning at least a map during the playins. Then on the JDG vs GG series that should be a win for JDG at the minimum, not sure if they can win without dropping a map since they were a bit shaky at the start of the LPL playoffs.

I would've placed a bet on Gen G -1.5 for 1.54 if it weren't for the current state of the network as I still need to wait for my previous deposits from last week to get confirmed.

Hans Sama is normally an impressive ad carry but he had serious issues aganst the Peyz - Delight bot lane today.
