Honestly with the grand finals, many have thought that it's going to be Team Liquid but it seems that it's not enough to defeat GG. GG is just showing on how good they are.


It’s normal that many predict Team Liquid will win grand finals since they beat GG without a problem on the Upper Bracket Finals. I believe the new patch gives GG a fair fight to Liquid once again since everyone is adjusting. I do emphasize this on my previous comment that every team is equal now due to the new patch. GG solve the problem with Underlord meta and beat Team Liquid with it.

The real fight will be on the next tournament probably on Riyadh Master and Berlin Major. Team Liquid is always got Jinx on championship. They already got this tournament if there’s no new patch implemented in the middle of the tournament.

You're right on this choice. GG has won against Shopify Rebellion and then they've won against Team Liquid. No doubt that GG's achievements recently are just proving them on how strong they are.

Now, they're directly invited in the Riyadh Masters with millions of dollars as prize pool and then aside from that, we'll get to see them play in the Berlin major.

That is actually an easy choice. There is no doubt in my mind that GG will win over Shopify Rebellion. Team Liquid and GG is a harder choice. As we can see in the matches played during the Finals. They had a complete series, going through all 5 maps. And in every map, there are numerous changes in leads. These two teams are really toe-to-toe in talent and either one could have won the series.

Congrats to Gaimin Gladiator for bagging the DreamLeague Season 19 Championship.

More than the prize money, I think the invite to Riyadh Masters is a bigger prize. They have now ensured a slot in one of the biggest E-sports events this year.

Despite coming from the upper bracket and getting beaten by Team Liquid at their first matches. When they get below, the lower bracket against the Shopify Rebellion. There's already the advantage of Team Liquid's end because they're just waiting at the grand finals, clean, without any other team to match with.

While GG, they need to face first SR and then will have to match at the grand finals so, their minds were quite exhausted by that time but I think they know how to handle such stress.

Tundra is out and will go home with a 4th place and $85,000. While Team Liquid is waiting for the grand finals, the battle of 3rd and 2nd will be with GG and SR. Who you think will move to the grand finals guys?

Between Gaimin Gladiators and Shopify Rebellion, I am taking the side of GG in this match. Even though they have been swept by Team Liquid in the upper bracket, I still believe they can grind and have a better grasp of this patch before their match against SR. GG has been solid until now and I think they will be better against SR later. I expect a rematch between GG and Team Liquid for the finals of DreamLeague season 19.

That was an intense fight. Alchemist sure has got some buff on this update but then Tundra took it down. While for game 3, I think this is where all the highlights is gonna come from.

This hero, Muerta has been added to the captains mode and these teams have just been waiting for it to be used. It wasn't only Shopify Rebellion that used it but also Team Liquid.

I think Alchemist was not properly itemized in that game. Sure, he was farmed early and was able to build Tarrasque and rRadiance very early in the game but he did not get BKB to save himself when ganked or properly participate on team fights. I do not know why Arteezy did not get BKB but I do think that is the only item he missed that could have made a difference in that game. Anyway, they won the 3rd game and would face Gaimin Gladiators in the do-or-die match in the lower bracket finals.
There are missed chance that has never been done and with one single mistake or with one missed item, the game is being turned over.

GG is already get the first map but I’m hesitant on this pick since Team Liquid is much more stronger than GG on all of their matches after the last major without Boxi. Complete Team Liquid is so strong for GG to handle but I give this a shot since there’s a new map and patches which change every strategy that all team in their pocket.

The game is so intense but I don’t want to place any bet on this. Not on match winner because there’s no dominant with this 2 team for this new patch.
Team Liquid managed to secure it to 2-2 and then they were on their final map. 22 minutes in the game and it is not looking good for Team Liquid.
I like more the heroes of GG for this final map whilst I'm not saying that the picks of Team Liquid aren't that good but it just so happens that it's more enthusiastic to think of GG's heroes to win this grand final.
But still, we'll see. Both are experienced and this is the grand finals for which that everything can happen and come backs do happen for real.

Vitality was the winner in the IEM Rio final.Vitality won the match 2-0 and qualified for IEM Cologne 2023 as well as 100K dollars.Vitality performed very well as a team and everyone contributed well in terms of scoring. Honestly, I expected Heroic to win this match, but Vitality was the team that played better.There was a performance increase in Vitality after the spinx transfer and we can say that the burden on zywoo has decreased.But I still think that something is missing because the team wins with close scores while winning matches.This roster has a higher potential.

The IEM Rio Grand Finals are super competitive. Vitality won the first map in a slightly different Vertigo. Magisk made a difference in Vertigo. The second map is Heroic's choice, inferno. Starting ct, Vitality made good use of this advantage and finished the 10-5 ct side. Heroic needs a really good defense in CT. To win this map and take it to the decider. Cadian's carbon awm shot is pretty good what was the timing.. This hit will bring the Inferno map to Heroic

DreamLeague S19 is now on its grand finals, currently the match is with Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid while Shopify Rebellion was already out and a 2nd runner up/ 3rd place.

Game 4 and the series score is 2-1 in favor of GG and while playing on the 4th map, Team Liquid is looking dominant on it currently but hasn't ended yet.

I can say that we watched a good match in the Heroic-NaVi match.Heroic played really incredible and we saw NaVi perform so badly after a long time.We started the match with the map Heroic chose and the score was always close on this map.Heroic won 25-22 in overtime and started 1-0 ahead. The second map was the ancient map.NaVi, who played a terrible t side here, started 14-1 down.NaVi, who started CT Side with such a score, could not stand it anymore and lost 16-9 and lost 2-0 in total.Now we are watching the Vitality-Heroic match in the final.Vitality leads 1-0.

Thanks! The odds is quite small but it is quite a sure win since GG has been performing really well in this tournament.

They are now against Team Liquid which is also outstanding in this tournament. Team Liquid swept Gaimin Gladiators last night so I am taking a risk on them in this match. They might be the favorite in this match but I think Gaimin Gladiators has learned a lot in their loss against Team Liquid last night. It will be interesting to watch this game since I really do not know which team will win. It is a long game since it is a best-of-five series. Unlike my earlier bet, this time, my bet is a real gamble.

The result of this game already showed GG wins the game against SR and the first game doesn't quite suitable with the playstyle of the OLD EG after this riki updates they keep pushing this hero as a support because of the cooldown of the silence smoke screen but it doesn't go well, they have  a good counter for RTZ in the first game of Cent plus Ursa and the Morp cant do anything with the UD and Riki does not have any impact reason why they get the game 1 and at the game 2 still the EG have a really bad draft they don't have any counter with the BB because Mikey chooses to have a Burst and not go for a vessel against the BB and IO. Congrats with your wins.

Risking some small amount to Gaimin Gladiator against Shopify Rebellion on the Lower Bracket Finals. Though they were swept by Team Liquid last night, I think GG can still recover from that. This is a new map, and everyone is still lost in navigating it and trying out the new Meta. I think GG has an upper hand, skill-wise, against Shopify Rebellion. They should win this even with a new and confusing map.

Damn what a round of semi finals that was yesterday, there was so much action in the two matches. I really thought that NaVi would pull it off, going into overtime two times on the first map the game could have went either way. Surprisingly that was Heroic picks for a map and then on Ancient NaVi got completely destroyed. Simple tried really hard, but it wasn't enough. At least Vitality managed to pull through and I didn't lose all my money yesterday. The game of Cloud9 vs Vitality was insane, I think this was the best match dupreeh ever had on Vertigo. He carried his team alone into overtime. The first map Inferno was Vitalitys pick and they lost it not even close, only to make one of the biggest comeback in CSGO history on Vertigo. They went from 12-1, to 12-14 without losing a single round. After such a run Cloud9 was broken and Vitality should be hyped for today to win the tournament. On paper Heroic is the better and should be winning today, but the two teams already played twice against each other and each team won one time. It's going to be a final with 7 Danish players, so they all know each. I am probably going with Vitality for the final today and hope that they can get another hyped match like yesterday.

We are on the first map, Overpass. It has been pretty competitive as Heroic are 23-22 ahead now.
NaVi fumbled the bag. Losing their momentum when they failed to secure the first map in overtime despite having the lead during regular time and unable to close the map with 3 round map points. They seemed utterly lost on Ancient, can't get anything going with 1-14 scoreline in the first half. On the other hand, Heroic's incredible endurance on Overpass is a testament to their status as one of the top teams right now. Their performance mirrors Vitality's, who made a stunning comeback from a 1-12 deficit on Vertigo. Such resilience truly showcases the mentality of these top players. The grand final tonight should be very interesting to watch, with both Vitality and Heroic performing near their peak at this tournament.

Pick your bets now on the upperbracket, I guess many will be choosing Team Liquid instead of GG. And on the lower bracket, many will choose the former TI - Tundra than Shopify Rebellion.

Team Liquid on Upper Bracket and SR on lower bracket but still Team Liquid and GG in the finals. Liquid and GG are dominating the Dota2 scene.

My prediction works well on last night matches. I didn’t place a parlay but I’m happy that things go out as planned. I might bet on the upcoming match until the grand finals.

The new map is insane. Watching Roshan use the portal to switch place from top to bottom is really funny especially if the team gonna kill him but his time to swap places occur. The team literally just follow him and use the portal with like waiting on the elevator. Team Liquid is still as strong as before even with the new patch.

The game between Tundra and Shopify Rebellion is now tied as Tundra was able to win Map 2. I was surprised at how fast the Alche can farm in this patch and he did not even lane. Went straight to the jungle. Let's see on the third map how Shopify will respond to the adjustment of Tundra against them. Exciting third map up ahead.
That was an intense fight. Alchemist sure has got some buff on this update but then Tundra took it down. While for game 3, I think this is where all the highlights is gonna come from.

Anyway, they won the 3rd game and would face Gaimin Gladiators in the do-or-die match in the lower bracket finals.

Tundra is out and will go home with a 4th place and $85,000. While Team Liquid is waiting for the grand finals, the battle of 3rd and 2nd will be with GG and SR. Who you think will move to the grand finals guys?

I don't want to say anything about Zywoo, he's a GOAT, he plays very smooth. I was watching the game Cloud 9 started the game so effectively. They won the first map, then they were clearly superior on the Vertigo map, I remember the score was 12-3. From that score, Vitality took it all the way to overtime, after which they won the game in OT Dupreeh did a great job. In the last map, Cloud9 was mentally exhausted and Zywoo was on the stage. I think this map had at least 5-6 clutches. Sh1ro was very, very good on Cloud9, but it wasn't enough for this match.

sh1ro is such a great fragger for Cloud9 honestly. He made a big impact on his team's effort today as well. He finished all three matches as the top fragger of his team. But he had really tough opponents like dupreeh and ZywOo at the same time. Because these two became the stars of their teams on Vertigo and Overpass maps later on by getting a lot of frags to help an incredible comeback to be made.

There were 39 frags by dupreeh on Vertigo and 31 frags by ZywOo on Overpass. Cloud9 couldn't take advantage of being 1-0 ahead and said goodbye to the tournament in the semi finals. Right now NaVi and Heroic are playing a series against each other to determine Vitality's opponent in the final stage.

We are on the first map, Overpass. It has been pretty competitive as Heroic are 23-22 ahead now.
