This situation is behind their elimination in the RMR as well. Otherwise they could have at least defeated Aurora today. They had concentration problems at one point again and couldn't prevent an upset by 2-1 at the end.

Yeah must be hard losing 2-1 with two maps going overtime.

Honestly Aurora weren't playing that impressive. They were even making simple mistakes so I can't call their effort well. Eternal Fire just handed over the victory to them.

Kinda expected from a newer team, but gotta give credit to them too for being able to endure that close match with EF. Also, going the full 30 rounds (14-16) against top-tier teams like G2 and Heroic in previous matches is no small accomplishment.

I agree with you, but EF has been preparing for this tournament for so long and they didn't participate in any other tournaments in order not to represent them.It's sad for the team and their fans to return without a ticket in such a tournament.Yes, their opponent was not an easy opponent.The fact that you stated that they lost to both heroic and G2 with close scores shows this.But I must say that EF has the potential to beat this team.EF beat Astralis comfortably at Vertigo and could have beaten C9, but it didn't happen.They lost 19-16 in a game where they led 9-0.

Eternal Fire lost their last chance.Eternal Fire lost despite having a close match on the map chosen by aurora.They lost 19-15 on the Mirage map and fell behind 1-0.The second map was the anubis map chosen by EF.EF won the match with a nice comeback on T Side, brought the situation to 1-1 and went to the decider map. I can say that taking the Pistol round on the decider map and detonating the bomb with milliseconds was perhaps the breaking moment of the match.EF did not improve their game much, but if they had solved the bomb there, maybe we could be talking about different things right now.

The return on the Anubis map was very good, they could have won in the inferno map with the momentum they got from there, we can say that Imorr played a lot extra and the comeback was thanks to him. I thought Eternal Fire would lose in this last map as well, as there is usually no winner in the Inferno map. It was like that, when the match went to overtime, it was obvious from their faces that there was no desire left by the EF players, and they could not score any points. Now at the next Major. HF to other teams

To be honest xantares didn't play very well in these qualifiers.There was a need for an extra player but imorr's performance wasn't enough to get the ticket.When xantares doesn't play in the team, maybe there is a mental decline or maybe I'm not sure.This team is actually built on xantares, so we can say that the game order is according to him.If he plays badly, the team has difficulties in winning matches.We see that he didn't perform very well throughout the tournament and EF was eliminated from the tournament.

Eternal Fire's start to the RMR was really promising in fact. Defeating Astralis that much comfortable and nearly defeating Cloud9 as well. Their performance against Cloud9 was pretty impressive until getting 9-0 ahead against them. After Cloud9 started to win rounds Eternal Fire started to lose their concentration slowly. This has been their main problem so far and they still can't create a solution for this.

Unfortunately, this is the case.EF really couldn't improve himself in this regard and he feels the burden of this so much that he has such problems in tournaments.I don't understand how they manage to lower themselves mentally.You are 9-0 ahead and with giving a round, the morale starts to drop and you lose the match when you are so far ahead.It's not going to happen, frankly.Especially in eco and half buy rounds, we lose rounds by not being able to do anything.

Yes. Nigma Galaxy is already out of the DreamLeague.

The comeback of Miracle didn't do any good on them and still, they're out of it. The sets of the teams that qualifies for the Stage 2 of DL was almost done, we still got some tiebreakers waiting ahead.

Talon Esports is also out and I think this make sense because they need to prepare for the Berlin Major. While Execration is on a tiebreaker against Team Aster.

There some pro players to telling that the nigma will only rise up because of the miracle show and some of them is right imagine the nigma can't even manage to win at the Ti if there's no miracle and matumbaman we saw them already with a good play and if you check MC performance once he gets rekt in the game he can't manage anymore to play and also with the decision making of kuro takes too much serious in-game but in draft quite not effective due to having an improper counters.

But not anymore, Miracle is out again. Matumbaman is actually a good player and we saw how he contributed to them before and also to Team Liquid where he has transferred but then he's retired and is for good.

I think what's the best for the team is for Kuro to be out and then just lead the team as their coach or analyst and then let another talent gets in for their pos 1, someone who's too fierced yet careful.

They've got all the experiences already but meta and updates are changing and they might have hard time coping up with it.

There are also rumors saying that Sumail will be standing in for Team Aster in the major, that would be fun to watch and I could even see them getting a better placement if Sumail can perform well together with their players.

That would be amazing. I would love to watch Sumail play in top tier stage again, he deserved alot better team and has chances to go to Major rather than staying in Nigma for sure.

Bet for tomorrow

I think Im gonna skip on Liquid vs GG, both are the top favourites to win and its hard to predict the outcome as both teams have good chances to pull 2-0 against each another

Ence defeated their opponent 2-0 and became another team that continued on their way to get a ticket to the major tournament.They had a nice performance increase after Nertz arrived and they will want to continue this momentum.
Although Vitality lost the first map, they came from behind to win the match and we can say that they became another team that got a paris major ticket.We could not see any reaction from the BIG team against the excellent play of Zywoo and spinx.In this way, vitality won 2-1.
In the last match of the day, in the C9-G2 match, G2 was the side that played well as a team and I have to say that they deserved it.They built a really good team and if they continue to protect it, success can come one after another.

I've read that top thread posted in the subreddit, it was Dyrachyo who made the comment about Nigma Galaxy struggling to find success even with Miracle back in because more than half of the team is always underperforming.

There are also rumors saying that Sumail will be standing in for Team Aster in the major, that would be fun to watch and I could even see them getting a better placement if Sumail can perform well together with their players.

I am now watching the tiebreaker match between Aster and Execration, it's still on the first map and it seems that Execration is leading the game. Whoever wins the game will still have a match against TSM. This is quite confusing to me but in Group A, three teams are fighting for the last remaining slot for Stage 2. While on Group B, it's gonna be OG, beast coast and Team Spirit that are fighting for two slots and only one team will be kicked there.

the Aster and Execration matches are interesting matches because if you look at the performance statistics, the two teams have almost the same abilities. but in map 1 Execration dominates this match and in my opinion Aster will surprise Execration through Hero Enigma chosen by the Aster team.
even though in this match both teams are very strong but I prefer Aster who is more experienced in various matches and has performed well in the previous matches. looks like I chose the Aster team in this match.

Tomorrow neither NiP or Astralis will qualify for the major. Honestly, it's hard for me to predict who will win outright as both teams are very winnable. I will say that for some reason I see Astralis as the favorite. blameF and dev1ce are an unstoppable duo when they play well. With that in mind, I expect Astralis to win, but I'm not so sure about taking bets. Looking at the last match between them we can see this clearly. Dev1ce and blameF played very well. But the only change will be that konfig will be in nip roster

We have 2 series of 3 way tie-breaker so tomorrow should be one hell of a day when it comes to Dota 2 games.

In first series I do see Aster and Execration going further as I still find hard to trust NA dota and NA drafts in general so that's why I don't see TSM moving further and they also didn't win a series in DreamLeague yet.

In second series ...oh , hard to chose because Beastcoast really plays well man and as long as they draft good , every team has problems against them , including Liquid today who dropped first map. It might be hard ...but we might say goodbye to OG tomorrow. Sad

9INE continues undefeated in RMR qualifiers. I'm talking about the teams they have won so far, they have not lost any losses, BIG, Vitality and G2. They play really well. They gave Vitality a tough time today. Hades AWM battles often win. This difference is part of the reason they won the Anubis map. While magisk did great things in Vertigo, Apeks' decisions and actions were not good at all. EF Cloud9 and Vertigo lost 10-0 in overtime, which is very sad. Tomorrow they will play a bo3 match with Aurora. This match will be good for the Challengers Stage if they win.

Tomorrow may be the last chance for our Turkish representative eternal fire to get a ticket to the major.I expect EF, who will face Aurora, to win in this match.Even if it is not 2-0, it can win 2-1.The aurora team, which lost 16-14 against G2 and Heroic, should not be underestimated.If it is so difficult for teams at this level, we can say that eternal fire is waiting for a difficult encounter.It is more like 2-1 if EF wins, not 2-0.
