Blast premier spring showdown europe matches started today. The first match of the day was a nip-og match. Degster was replaced by smooya. Nip won 2-1. No matter how well Flamez played, he couldn't win the match for his team. Nip was the better team and they deserved it.
The second match was played between C9 and copenhagen flames. After a disappointing loss against Faze, c9 didn't seem to be affected too much. It must be said that they played very well. They beat their opponent 2-0. Hobb1t and sh1ro were the players who made the difference.

There were no surprises in these matches. The matches turned out as I expected. I actually thought you could beat NIP 2-0 in the OG-NIP match. I wasn't aware of the Smooya change in the OG team. It is said that Smooya is a good awm player. Also they are said incompatible for him, this is a complete risk, it will be understood later on. His compatibility with the team. He looked good in this match. AWM did his duty adequately, it was his first match if I'm not mistaken. Hobb1t and sh1ro don't have much to say about them, I can say they are the best. FaZe is the top team. Teams like copenhagen flames can't impress Cloud9 much.

Honestly, I was expecting OG to win, but then I saw that smooya was playing instead of degster.Degster is a different talent.Smooya hasn't played with such teams for a long time and was broadcasting last time. That's why I think he underperformed.There was no surprise match yesterday.In the last match of the day, BIG beat Rare Atom comfortably.I must say that BIG played well as a team. In Rare Atom, moseyuh had a good performance but it was not enough for them to win.

The 2nd major will be missed again by the Blacklist Rivalry Dota 2 team. Yeah, full of disappointments from the fans of this team because they've been hyped in the SEA.

So, we're having Team SMG and Talon Esports to secure both slots of the three slots for the SEA DPC that will qualify to the Berlin majors.

While the last slot will be fighting for by Army Geniuses and Execration. So, which team do you think that will take the last secured slots to the Berlin?

They were hyped but the team is just newly formed. I think the fans have too high expectations from this team but in reality, they were just together for this season. There will be lots of adjustments needed and maybe some player replacement. Hopefully they can duplicate their success from their other e-sports team.

Yeah, the fans have expected a lot from them because they're all experienced players in the SEA but then still fell short on 2 major qualifiers. Maybe, on the 3rd one they'll be able to qualify or with some minors.

There's the history of the owner of the team that they disbands whenever they didn't able to qualify in majors so, I am expecting that they might disband eventually if results are always like this.

The stakes are so high in the last four series, all the underdogs would need the win to avoid relegation while all the favorites except OG would prefer to get the win to avoid unnecessary tiebreakers.

Nigma vs GG

I thought that NGX are good with their new pos with ATF as pos 2 but I think its going to be a tight game between these two so potential over 2.5 maps with GG having an edge against Nigma for sure

OT vs Liquid

I honestly dont know whats the deal with OT. They are great but sometimes they just look like a bunch of amateur like how they lose to Monaspa and Nigma but against Liquid, its clear to me that Liquid is not going to mess around for potential #1 spot to claim another 400 extra DPC points

Monaspa vs Tundra

Tundra clear favourites by miles and pretty much guaranteed 2-0 for Tundra

OG vs Entity

Both are pretty bad at the moment but Entity is more convincing to win though or probably Im biased because I want OG to actually taste the shame to play in division 2 next season Roll Eyes

I am not used to seeing OG on the bottom of the rankings and it is still just regional. They still have a chance not to get relegated to Div 2 but I am not putting my hopes very high. Though they will have plenty of rest before the game, they will be against Entity. We may see them on Div 2 soon.

Both Ooredoo Thunders and Tundra came out with a big win in the WEU DPC earlier today. Shocked

I expected Gaimin Gladiators will be the ones sweeping Tundra but both games went in the way of Tundra and the networth lead just kept growing until the end. That win was so crucial for Tundra I think they just secured themselves a spot for the Berlin Major because their last series will be against Monaspa and I think they can easily take them down as long as they keep the same performance. Team Liquid on the other hand is only one series win away from taking back the first seed thanks to that loss.

The stakes are so high in the last four series, all the underdogs would need the win to avoid relegation while all the favorites except OG would prefer to get the win to avoid unnecessary tiebreakers.

The only match I was surprised by in the matches played today in the betboom playlist urbanistic 2023 tournament was big's match. big lost 2-1 to godsent. BIG, who started the match with the map chosen by Godsent, won this map and made the situation 1-0.BIG, who had a nice t side on the Anubis map, did not have much difficulty while winning the map. The second map was the Nuke map of their choice.Although they played badly as a team, they could not stop joel's good performance and lost this map.I have to say that tabsen played badly again in the match that remained to the last map.Joel was again the difference maker for godsent. When we look at the scores in general, we can see that Joel is the player who stands out. In BIG, Faven's performance was not enough to win the match and BIG was eliminated.

In Dota 2, the user encounters three lines every day. This is an easy, complex and central line, respectively. At the center of the map, as a rule, there are the most experienced players in their team. They must, not relying on help from the side of the allies, win the opponent. Sometimes, doing this is more difficult than it seems at first glance.

Against top-tier teams, Tundra is a beast so I guess this match will go the distance and go 3 maps. Liquid seems to be figuring out what this patch offers too, so they're not the scary team that we knew in this meeting and that makes it fair against Tundra.

Well, our prediction that it will go the distance did not pan out. Team Liquid was able to dispatch Tundra within two maps. Luckily I did not bet on total maps so I still won my bet on Team Liquid. Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid are now tied with 4 wins and 1 loss record. GG and Team Liquid have retained their momentum from the last major until now. I think these two team are still the teams to beat the next major.

Damn that's rough. I thought they have the chance and the means to defeat Liquid at least one map but they just can't. They really need to discover some cheese strats in order to win, otherwise they'll just get bullied here and there and that's not really great as TI champions. They have the working idea of how to play the game and the meta but it seems that they are lacking in coordination. Oh well, congrats to your bet. Can't remember if I locked my bet on that particular match yesterday and I have to check.

Glad that I decided to bet on -1.5 on Liquid after my acca lost. I was kinda expecting that previous acca to win but oh well

I was about to put this together with Nigma -1.5 maps as well but I was a bit hesitant about it then decided to go with single bet instead for both bets. Nigma ended up not getting 2- but yeah 2.7 odds on Liquid -1.5 is pretty good for me

Anyway I decided to take Tundra but I put another game from SEA region onto this as I think this is a potential over 2.5 maps game for these two teams

I think this is a good bet. I think Tundra vs Liquid will also go to the third map. I do not know which team will win but I think Tundra will give Liquid a good fight. Some say that Tundra has slowed down since they won the TI but they are still a very competitive team and can dispatch team Liquid. We will see in this match if Tundra can win against Liquid.

Also, thankfully Tundra no longer try to cheese every meta and setup that they have. They're now playing actual dota like everyone else. The question that remains now is this: how long before Tundra discovers a new cheese that will give them an edge against other teams? Cheesy

On top of that, WEU region is the toughest region out there. All teams are pretty much improved every season so a laid back team wont be able to stay on division 1 for sure. Fans were mocking Nigma when they were thrown to division 2 and now look what happens to OG, pretty sure that they are going to division 2 as well at this rate

I do not think that OG is a laid-back team but I think they are all very young and would needs veteran guidance to push them to their limits. I think the previous OG also went into the same phase before they won their first TI. I think, even if they go down Div 2 if they continue to grind, they will still have a chance to get back to DIV 1 and join TI this year.

In the Faze-cloud9 match, Faze was the winner. Faze won 3-1 and became the esl pro league champion.If we look at the scores of the players in the team, we see that other players except karrigan got close kills.They all averaged 80 kills and put forward a good team game.Karrigan is not expected to get more kills, so I take it normal.He is really a good igl and shows it every time.In Cloud9, we see that ax1le and hobbit stand out in terms of score.I see that nafany and buster played badly.We can say that the Faze team deserved the match and won.

I was not able to watch this game because my internet connection was down. It could have been a fun game to watch. Faze starting strong this year again. It has been a while since I last saw Faze winning a tournament. It is good to see that they have found their rhythm again and started winning. I hope they can continue this and regain the number 1 spot again.

Congratulations to Faze for winning the ESL Pro League.

Faze played really well as a team and deservedly so. Thanks to a couple of previous tournament wins, they were able to pocket the grand slam prize of $1million. So with the tournament prize money they now have 1.2 million dollars. Karrigan is managing the team well and it is paying off. Faze will be back in the top 3 in the rankings after this tournament win. This is a great achievement for them.

Ropz was not even allowed to play faceit at one point due to being suspected as not legit in some way, I think he had to attend the Faceit offices in person to get the objections and concerns of pro players definitively overruled.

ATK vs MIBR tommorow with a standing 1 map advantage given to Mibr. Going on prior results and the large ranking between them, I think I will go for the quick finish bet on maps played with no maps won by ATK.
No maps and no matches lost for Mibr in last 6 games

I couldn't watch the whole game. As soon as I looked, FaZe had won both maps. Only Faze could beat a team like Cloud9. Because in Cloud9, they played very strong games in this tournament and eliminated their opponents. Ropz contributes more and more every day, he is one of the players who improve himself the most. Thanks to this development, he remains an MVP player. All five players of the Faze team can individually win extra rounds, which is really nice. Each player can win the round by taking 3-4 kills unexpectedly.

I don't think it's about the patch as some of the teams already showed the effectiveness of some heroes after receiving certain nerfs. IMO it's simply the players underperforming individually because it's always punishing for the supports no matter how good they are when the cores can't put up a similar performance and the cores can easily offset that issue if it's just the supports but the bad part is that it's the whole team.
