I've just watched the first match between Team SMG and Execration and all I can say is that Execration is getting to the next level. They deserve the Berlin major spot and they might end up this DPC tour 2 as the 2nd place. Polaris Esports and Geek Slate will be now relegated to division 2.
Well, this is for the SEA, and while looking for some matches in other regions I ended up with WEU. Division 2 there is about to start and we'll now start to see which two teams will be moved to division 1. Notable teams there are Alliance, Team Secret, and Old G.

I am excited as well but I will not be able to watch the games later. I got to be somewhere, and I will not have a chance to watch it.

I think it is logical to bet on Tundra since they won against GG the first time they meet on this tour but I do not think that GG will commit the same mistakes they did in their last meeting. Anyway, there is not much at stake in this match since they are both qualified already for the Major.

The tiebreaker games between OG and Ooredoo Thunder though have a high stake. The winner of this match will go to Berlin Major and some DPC points that is heavily needed to qualify for TI.

The lines are not yet open in stake.com so I will post my bets later. I will most likely go for GG and OG depending on the odds.

I'm excited for the WEU tiebreakers later today and the first one will be Tundra vs Gaimin Gladiators, without looking at their recent results I would lean on Gaimin here but their recent performance isn't the same after they dropped a map against Nigma during their last series while Tundra is looking like the better team as they went 2-1 in the last week.

Tundra would be a value bet for today's tiebreaker matches as their odds are hovering around 2.10 at the moment and I don't think GG should be the slight favorite @1.68 when they lost 2-0 in the previous matchup.

For the second tiebreaker (OG vs Ooredoo Thunders) OG @1.55 should win as they finally got their stuff together and beat Entity Gaming in the last series to avoid relegation and even potentially take the last spot for the Berlin Major.



I don't have any bet for the remaining tiebreakers Monaspa vs Nigma Galaxy as these will all be a bo1 and I think both teams are performing at a similar level but if I have to pick one of the two i'll side with Nigma Galaxy as their results look better.

Imperial is looking to crush the first map as they take the lead 13-9 and crush the eco of Pain. Pain has to make a comeback on the second map. Imperial is really good in inferno so there is no question they will win this map. Pain has beaten serious competition before so they may still tie the series on the next map and go to a third. We will see how they will perform.

Blast Premier Spring Finals are looking like it will be Cloud 9 as they are just massacring a very deflated Big team on their determining map.

Pain gaming are up next against Imperial Esports to see who is going to the Finals happening in Washington DC between Europe vs Americas qualifying teams.

That's true, even on China which I've been considering one of the strongest regions is also struggling just as the SEA. Credits to his teammates and it's the whole team that should be consistent, good luck on them in Berlin.

That's another try for him but looking at this qualifier, there are two teams who have secured slot for Berlin and those teams are Shopify Rebellion (ex-EG) and TSM.

The remaining games no matter what the result will be, they're just for formality. Hopefully, Dendi will also be back on these actions on these LAN events and majors.

They eliminated Complexity out of the Blast series so yeah they are a team to look out for in this tournament.
Imperial Esports are the favorites for their next match in the Premier league play today against Evil Geniuses Black.

Team Liquid are currently playing Pain gaming and are down a map so they should be done with their match shortly.
The semi-finals are in full swing now and Imperial are looking like a solid contender in this Blast Premier Spring series.

Boltz and Fallen on Imperial, nice result for them to beat Col  congrats.  I hope  Fallen is making a comeback, he was one of the greatest IGL in the game and thats my preferred position, skill in csgo to observe.  Also AWP of course, the combo being deadly so obviously Imperial have great potential.

CS2 taking until spring next year is correct and proper way to do it as it involves alot of change and possible bug fixes.  Gives teams time to adjust to whatever small detail that always has large effects in CS.  I hope it all makes for greater viewing quality which I think is possible.

Right now I bet Fnatic to beat Spirit though Im often biased to Spirit as an upset team for their great aim the odds dont support going against the recent success of Fnatic and better ranking.   Spirit could win Overpass, they have the highest % on this map but seems odds given already includes and accepts that.  (Safest bet here might have been 3 maps but I arrived during match)

Agreed, They are the only Asian Team that made a better spot on the last major and the rest including China team is already shaking when facing WEU and EEU team. I believe Talon can become a stable team for a long time if 23Savage will play consistently like this unlike his previous gameplay that is very reckless.


I won’t blame Dendi for choosing NA region because that more easier region to accumulate DPC points for TI unlike EEU region which his original region that full of strong teams. EU is now the power house region so I will not be surprised if some players decided to form teams on weak region like NA, SA and SEA.

Actually Counter Strike is still using Global Offensive and the not Counter Strike 2 just yet.
They will be introducing it for competitive professional league play in Paris in March 2024 according to news site HLTV.ORG:
https://www.hltv.org/news/35854/valve-paris-major-last-in-csgo-first-in-cs2-to-take-place-in-march-2024

They are currently running in limited testing since it's release of a closed beta but have since released to some players of steam and are updating it to fix any issues that those players are reporting about it's gameplay:

WePlay Academy league play has been been put on temporary hold after six seasons and is taking a break until the end of the war in Ukraine.

Imperial Esports had just defeated Complexity gaming in the Blast Premier league and are the known Sportsbet.io sponsored team in professional CS league play.
So congratulations to them on a nice win since their odds flipped early on when the match began. I had 1.77x Complexity but then it was the reverse when I checked 10 minutes before the match started.
So never go by the odds when it comes to betting on Counterstrike.

Yeah and that's okay. SEA teams have been unpredictable but their Team is becoming consistent so I guess if we're going to speak about it, they're currently the strongest SEA team as of talking.

Watch closely to the North America, the slots there are only two and the teams that are trying to get that are into tough competition. I've just noticed and missed that Dendi's team B8 is already on this region.

Even if I want to wish him luck, the remaining games that they've got won't be enough for them to at least get the 2nd spot. So, these are the teams that are competing for two slots there. TSM, Nouns and Shopify Rebellion.

Here’s the tentative list for Dota2 Teams that already qualified for the Berlin Major 2023:

• Talon Esports [Southeast Asia]
• Team SMG [Southeast Asia]
• Execration [Southeast Asia]
• PSG.LGD [China]
• TBD [China]
• TBD [China]
• TBD [China]
• Team Liquid [Western Europe]
• Gaimin Gladiators [Western Europe]
• Tundra Esports [Western Europe]
• TBD [Western Europe]
• Evil Geniuses [South America]
• beastcoast [South America]
• TBD [North America]
• TBD [North America]
• HellRaisers [Eastern Europe]
• Team Spirit [Eastern Europe]
• TBD [Eastern Europe]

I’m surprised on how SEA teams not includes those team that expected to dominate the region due to their roster. 23Savage is proving his worth by giving his best to carry Talon.

Took this bet just now on Talon Vs Bleed.



If xIce won't manage to have a decent game , I think it's time for him to retire and let the young talent take over because in first map he had 11 deaths with Doom as offlane , a hero that needs a lot of smart farm in order to function during mid-late game. Funny , he didn't manage to make it work at all and lately all his performances are somewhere like this one.

To be honest, this is the first time I know of bets on Counter Strike 2 game tournaments because previously the ESport bets that I followed in depth were only Dota 2.
Counter Strike is a game that is quite old and I played this game when I was still a student. I don't know how many years it has been since I forgot about Counter Strike and in the ESport betting thread I saw this game for the first time again.
Maybe it will be interesting enough to be able to watch matches live and can make me remember the past when I was still at school, I was willing to not enter just to play Counter Strike.

BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 has started in Europe!
A couple of matches today with Big vs Rare Atom, a team that was beat high tier teams during the Pro League tournament.
They certainly made a name for themselves and the dark horse team for the Big squad to not take lightly.

Today's matches can be bet on from the Esports hub located here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/esports-betting

Entity Gaming doesn't look that strong based on their recent results so it's expected to see Gaimin Gladiators sweep the series.

I also think they deserve the first spot in WEU but we might see a potential rematch between them and Team Liquid at the end of the week since it doesn't seem like Team Liquid will drop another series unless one of the two newly promoted teams could pull another surprise.

Thanks, luckily Tundra had one of the easiest schedules while Team Liquid had a rocky start losing to Gaimin Gladiators which caused the odds to be this close.

You were right @ralle14 once again! Team Liquid are very good high level team in DOTA2.

Looks like a good solid win for you @jakelyson Nicely done!
https://www.joindota.com/matches/555542-team-liquid-vs-tundra-esports

They 2:0 Tundra and I think you are correct with Liquid being a heavy contender in this DOTA2 tournament so can't wait to see who they will face next.
I will be putting a small wager on them in this matchup if I get on it early enough that is.

Nice, congratulations on your bets/predictions and there's more to come from SEA and other regions if that's what you're focusing on. I wish that some SA fans and bettors would come and join these discussions. GG is making it, they're still kind of underrated despite that they've won the Lima major. And now, they're on top 1 on their region and will probably sure to qualify the Berlin major.

These are the results of my predictions earlier:

SMG VS Army Geniuses  +1.5 or Match winner - LOST

SMG is so strong, they 2-0 the Army geniuses, I though that the AG will have the game number 1 because they have good intro game wherein the pudge and nature's prophet have good farming and laning stage. But they struggle in the mid game and teh SMG fully take over the game 1. In game number 2, yowe picked Tinker again but it is not enough to tie the match, the SMG really destroyed the AG in game number 2.

Blacklist Rivalry VS Geek Slate +1.5 or Match winner - WIN

I thought that the blacklist will be 0-2 with the matchup between geekslate, but they did a good run where they achieved reverse sweep. In game number 1, Raven has a good farm and aslo laning stage but Karl and Kuku are both gap in their lane and for me it is the reason why they lose in the game number 1. The blacklist have good run in the game number 2 and for me this is where raven showed that he is still the best carry in the SEA. His sniper is really really strong. They destroyed the GS in the game number 2. I like the pick of the Blacklist in the game number 3 even though their mid game is not that good. For me this game was considered as comeback because Sf is so rich in that game, but they able to turn the tide of the game.

Entity VS Gaimin Gladiators +1.5 or Match winner - WIN

Gaimin is so strong, there is no doubt about it. They are playing out of the world. they only proved that they really deserve the number 1 spot in the WEU. They literally beat the entity with 2-0 in their favor.

I'll post again my predictions and analysis for the next DPC matches

Watching the game between Team Liquid and Tundra in EU Spring Tour. Currently, team Liquid is way ahead of Tundra with a lead amounting to almost 30K. It is already late game and it looks like this is team Liquid map. My bet is looking good. I think this will go the long way but I think team Liquid will still win this match up.
