Today they run everything smoothly , without delays , without pauses in-games or between games and the crowd is way more louder than previous day which wrap up this Major with a good comeback in all categories.
Now to games , I just saw Merci 3 hit TB and killed him and Pakazs looks like he is on TI form with a home crowd cheering for EG , making this a very rough series for Asters are they are down 1 game with the second one being a few minutes away from start.
I'm also waiting for Talon game today , just to watch 23 and how he will perform vs Team Spirit who are kinda having internal problems once again with Mira and Miposhka kinda having different strategies and visions on the meta and their picks and I do hope this Spirit won't have another memeber leaving after this major like it was the case with TorontoTokyo who had a fight with Mira about being more flexing with mid heroes and adapt during new patches which he refuses to do and moved to a POS5 with BetBoom and we all saw how this went for him. Anyway, Talon vs Spirit is very tense game for today.

This major is a complete disaster! The pause between games can go up to 2 hours and even after 2 hours , the production cannot be sure if they can resume the competition or make another quick check and I thought ok , it's only 1st day , things can be resolved with a decent IT crew specialized on streaming and using OBS, which I'm more than familiar and they should resolve it quickly but I guess no one made a backup configuration file.
Second day started with another 1 hour delay and it seems it will continue like this for the rest of the Major with at least 1 H pause between games, even if we switch from game 1 to game 2 or from a team to another.
That problem depends on the organizer, I remember the Shanghai major where it's truly a disaster and there were players' belongings and money that have been robbed. Second day started with another 1 hour delay and it seems it will continue like this for the rest of the Major with at least 1 H pause between games, even if we switch from game 1 to game 2 or from a team to another.
Well, needless to say, the major is already in the playoffs, and despite all of those issues that have been caught and come out it still proceeded.
Right now, in the lower bracket, cast now your bets with the match of Talon and HellRaisers.

Lost yesterday the last USD I've got in my account 40$ and that's all folks ...I'm still cursed for Dota 2 games no matter what but I also do believe that this is one of the most unpredictable group stage from a major. The new meta also allows for big comebacks and reverse as pushing high ground in this patch is really a curse thing as you lose the fight and insta lose the map and eventually the game.
It is quite hard to make a prediction right now because some of the teams now are bulling those already founded teams and also the roosters makes a change so you're not expecting their new players capabilities, last time the SR vs Entity the old eg they have a new players which is unexpectedly wins the series, quite hard to deal with the teams now who are the one dominates the game.
February 27, 2023, 07:16:16 AM
Very hard to predict group stages so far and I would not be surprised if Gaiming Gladiators will reach the finals but on other side , Liquid are looking pretty much unstoppable as Tundra really have no chemistry during this new meta. Maybe SR with RTZ to have a strike of ego in order to reach the finals but we all know how the old EG style ...they go almost unbeatable in group stages and as soon as the upper bracket begins , they are crumbling in both strategies but also fighting style.
But overall , how did Knights ended up in this Major ? They are simply a TIER 3 team without any doubts and the cheating scandal around them seems to be half true as without vision , this team are looking nothing like pro players and it's a shame that they ended up here without Valve having something to say about this but I'm also sure , we won't see them in any majors after this and I also expect them to slow down the domination in China DPC league.
Funny or not , BetBoom are already out of the Major and let's not forget that they are the main sponsor of the tournament lol
Well, it was really unpredictable and the group stages have ended and there's now the bracket ready for the playoffs. I'm still in awe how did Knights ended up in the Lima major if they've been proven to be cheating on their qualifying games.But overall , how did Knights ended up in this Major ?

I've read someone say that they can't really make it up on this major because there's no map hack. It's funny for real and they did ended up too early on this major but here comes the actual games on the playoffs until the semis and finals.

The same thing can be said for EHOME as I think XG would've performed better if they got the slot. We could still see them in the next major since anything is possible and let's not forget about the new patch coming in after the major which could boost some teams depending on their hero pool and playstyles. 
Funny or not , BetBoom are already out of the Major and let's not forget that they are the main sponsor of the tournament lol
From what i've heard some of the BetBoom players were sick while playing so that could be one of the potential reasons for them to underperform. February 26, 2023, 05:03:06 PM
I'm hooked on Esports today but focusing on Dota 2 more and I took this bet , hoping Ehome will win 2nd map as 1st map they managed to trow a pretty good advantage to TSM.
Ehome lost 2 games against TSM. And with that, they're at the bottom for group A together with Execration. Still, there are about 2 days for this group stage to end. I'm not just sure if that's enough for them to recover until the end. Aside from that, there are still about two matches that haven't ended their games yet that are still on the first game.
The matches are beastcoast and Entity, Shopify Rebellion, and Knights. This is for group b.
Ehome was really trowing away the 2nd game as the odds skyrocket to x8 as soon as the picks were made. Why ? Because they don't know how to draft against other teams that are not from China area , and the AI automatically saw that draft as a losing one , giving the opposite team a 80% winning rate before the game even started.
Today , I'm looking for a great day in Dota 2 as I really deserve one... starting with PSG and Tundra taking 1st map.
All matches are only going to be still as a series of 2 and those that are at the bottom has to win their matches 2 consecutive times or else, they'll have their farewell to Lima.

Also , Talon are looking like the G2 of CS:Go , making a wild play with very aggressive lanes , fight but also rotations on the map and a lot of teams are really not expecting this or they are not used to this style yet.

Great to hear LIMA major is amazing this year to watch. Heard about Tundra abit while was betting on CS:GO ESL yesterday.
But was concentrating on the matches at the time so didn't place anything on DOTA2 while they were currently live.
Huge upset with Cloud 9 beating G2 Esports in Pro League's final rounds of the season 17 competition.
Not just beating them but knocking them out 2-0. A flawless victory all thanks to sh1ro on the C9 squad.
This player was playing at a new level that certainly humbled m0NESY and Niko during the match.
I think all matches so far in this season's ESL Pro league have ended 2-0.

Glad to hear some news from CS:GO scene. Is a new major on the way ? I know Katowice was a while ago and next should be the Cathedral in Koln right ? that place is already iconic in CS:GO
Regarding dota , this major is crazy so far and we are just 3rd day in. We had crazy comebacks , new strategies , new heroes and Shopify Rebelions are still one of the best DOta 2 teams even if they have been dropped by EG after TI ended.
PSG - Tundra should be a great game that begins in 1 hour and I'm thinking to place a bet on PSG to take at least 1 map and if this hits , we will see where the rest of the day will lead.

There are always different tournaments currently being played but just not shown on hltv's website. But they are the smaller ones usually run for the European teams.

This new PSG.LGD are nothing like the old ones right ? Even if some players are still there , the chemistry and the meta strategies are gone or the patch is simply a pain for them to play and to find gaps to exploit vs the other team.
So far , LIMA major in first day has been amazing and Talon are looking deadly and ready to give a shot for the trophy but Tundra is looking mega strong again no matter what patch they are playing , AUI 2000 will find a way to break the enemy team and that's why he is the great coach in Dota 2 history.

Just over a day left before the Lima Major starts but there are still no odds for the matches on my favorite bookies.
The first day is filled with good matches. It is a pity they will play simultaneously so it will be hard to watch all the games. I will just follow the favorites and watch good DOTA. I will follow Tundra, Team Liquid, PSG.LGD and Aster. I believe one of these teams will win the Lima Major.
Here is the schedule for the group stage

As many here will find this helpful for the upcoming tournament in the following days til they start.
Very hard to bet on Dota Division 2 just because of all massive comeback that are happening during the games.
Meanwhile , Lima major group stage games are beginning today and I'm hyped as a new patch just dropped a few minutes ago for Dota 2.
It is always fun to see how these teams fair with a new patch to fix a glitch which the players possibly exploited for their matches in the past.Meanwhile , Lima major group stage games are beginning today and I'm hyped as a new patch just dropped a few minutes ago for Dota 2.
In the meantime, CS:GO ESL Pro League Season 17 just kicked off today.
With all the favorites winning their matches so those who placed bets on even them going 2:0 made a profit.
I know I sure did on all the bets placed today.

Did bet on those two matches for LCK over the weekend and T1 finally won their match after map 2 took 45 minutes to complete but the final map didn't take them long at all with a nice play at the end to take them out easily.
Then again LSB is already a good team as they're successful in pressuring stronger teams like GenG and T1 to three maps so i'm surprised Damwon was still that high. I guess you fell for the trap as it happens every now and then, bookies would continue to favor certain teams that used to be successful. It kind of reminds me of when T1 used to have that one shaky season (around 2019-2020) and they kept on switching players every series but the bookies would barely adjust the odds regardless of their losses.
