Team Secret will always have a personal style of playing the meta of Dota 2 heroes and I'm sure they will promote into Division 1 this year and then , I hope they won't relegate anytime soon.
Meanwhile , I do see why Execration are dominating China DPC. They way they are using the map , controlling the lanes and also have team fights is insane to watch! The little details they make during the fights , will make any team they play against them to actually have a fear to engage into full battles. Eyes close on them guys because they could produce a big surprise in DreamLeague.

Being 2nd on the last TI, they shouldn't be there. I'm now torn how they've ended up being there. Oh, it's because Nisha transferred and resolution as well so there have been points deducted. The system of DPC is I don't know being good or bad to those TI participants.
yeah, after Nisha went to Team Liquid, team Secret is in disarray. Even when they still have Reso in their line up, they cannot win anymore in Division 1. Hopefully, their relegation to Division 2 can help them regroup and find better strategies for them to start winning again. They are off to a good start though. They swept their first two matches so that should mean something. They are heavily favored to win this tour and hopefully get back to Division 1.
Secret are a pretty good team but maybe because it's still early in the tournament they haven't really played well.
But I believe that when they reach the mid round, the Secret team can play well to reach the final round.
But I'm still not sure about the progress of the match at the beginning because it's still difficult to predict in each match who will be the winner.
I think the game abilities of players like Twistz, Ropz and Broky are decreasing because of the players you mentioned. Before this major, maybe a change in the team would be good. There are many extra-star players in the team, as well as heavy players, which can cause imbalance and bad results. As far as I know, FaZe will go to the last chance elimination, How will they save the situation it's hard now.
I don't think it makes sense for them to change anything before this major RMR as they've just won the EPL S17 and Intel Grand Slam. They were looking really strong there, only losing once to Vitality. So this 3 losing streak in a BO3 against non-T1 team is shocking. Yup, can't wait to see how they'll perform in Last Chance Qualifier. I hope they can get a spot though.Anyway, EU RMR B starts tomorrow. Who do you guys think will secure the three Legends spots? My favorites are G2, C9, and Heroic. Will we see a series of upsets similar to those in RMR A?
Day 1 is all set and done for the DreamLeague Season 19. Groups A and B matches still has 3 days left remaining until we go to the next level which is the Group Stage 2.
And after the group stage 2, we head to the playoffs and finals. Group Stage 2 will take 7 days in the process so this is gonna be a long group stage but with this, we'll see how teams have prepared well for this because it's a mental draining process for all of them.

DreamLeague does not have a small pot either, the prize pool is 1 Million dollars. But the real prize is getting qualified for Riyadh Masters. Riyadh has upped their game. I think last year, the prize pool is just 4 million USD and now it is 15 million. That is a big leap from their first tournament. I guess DOTA is quite profitable for them.

Faze Karrigan and Rain between them have enough years between them to call this team old, though the other players are younger. It can just be a top team needs a break or similar, they cannot be top performance all the time I dont think that many teams maintain that top level. Fnatic old team and only a couple others were that consistent.
With Col vs MIBR now I think Col does win it but its close enough to go with 3 maps are the safest bet. Whoever wins it should be struggle not a straight win.

No reason needed on not to bet on Nigma after I saw this
Abit risky because Im gonna need Nigma to win both map to win this but I think Im going to take draw as leverage later as well. OG is not really in a good shape either and with Miracle back in the team, I guess Nigma is going to have an edge over OG in this BO2 game
Watching DOTA 2 Division II Spring tour. I am still not used to see Team Secret in Division 2. They are doing good though, they won their first match and now dominating their second match against ITB.

They badly needed to relegate because their performance against Div 1 teams is so poor and they need confidence boost to strengthen their bond for the new roster. This is what happened to Nigma and now they promoted again by slowly building up their team again with the new roster adjustment.
It will be more fun now to watch Div 2 since Old G will have a good rival on the top spot compared before that most of the Division 2 team is inferior to them. Team Secret can give them a hard time on securing top spot for a possible fast promotion on Division 1.
I'm especially looking forward to see who will be the winner in the faze-mouz match. Faze is one step ahead but they don't inspire confidence.
I was expecting for an effortless 2-0 victory for FaZe yesterday against BNE, but boy, was I mistaken. While I initially believed that their loss to NaVi was simply due to NaVi's strength (which is true, npl was phenomenal), it's now clear that FaZe isn't performing at their peak, even against non T1 teams. Can't for the FaZe vs. Mouz match today. Despite the odds favoring FaZe, I'm guessing that it's going to be another close match.Faze is sometimes shaky in my opinion. There are times, against strong teams, they are good and times they just bad. I will not put my trust on Faze to consistently win matches at this point. They have been shaky since late of last year.

Today they will play against mouz. Mouz played an excellent game against the last major champion virtus pro. If they show the same performance, it will be easy for them to beat Faze.
It appears to be the case. FaZe continues to struggle, losing their map pick (Nuke) against Mouz with a disappointing 16-8 score, not even reaching double digits. Now they're moving on to Ancient, and it's likely that FaZe will suffer another 0-2 defeat. It's gonna be tough for the players to get down to Last Chance Qualifier right after getting the Intel Grand Slam.In other news, BNE has claimed the fourth and final Legends spot from RMR A after a hard-fought 2-1 series against Gamer Legion. Well deserved!

Losing two consecutive BO3s 0-2 is so uncharacteristic for such a strong team. I wonder what's wrong with them? Could it be that they're losing their competitive drive after recently securing the Intel Grand Slam?I'm especially looking forward to see who will be the winner in the faze-mouz match.

BNE's Faze win was a surprise for me. BNE has a strange playing style and it's hard to predict which match they will win or not. Faze, on the other hand, started 2-0 and will continue the tournament 2-2. The last major champion Outsiders aka virtus pro team was eliminated from the tournament. They have an incredible low form. After these defeats, maybe they need to sit down and think a little bit. It was a sad result for them.
Tomorrow, there are some good and tough challenges for the teams. I'm especially looking forward to see who will be the winner in the faze-mouz match. Faze is one step ahead but they don't inspire confidence.

BNE didn't let the FaZe team through. They won the series 2-0 and in the Paris Major. BNE was a team that we matched a lot in Eternal Fire matches. As a team, they are friends and have been playing together for years, and they have improved a lot during this time. Gxx awp was very effective in this series in my opinion. He was very eager Rigos and provided extras to the team during the match. Team FaZe actually started out really well on the Inferno map, Twisst had a 16-17 kill after a few more rounds. Later, this streak was broken and BNE was included in the game. BNE pushed Faze too hard on banana. As I said, they reached the sides easily at the beginning of the game, but after playing the +1 rotation B game, things changed for BNE. There was an incident that surprised me quite a bit on the Mirage map. The BNE player, who was about to defuse the bomb, stabbed with 0.01 seconds remaining and won the clutch Twistzz.
Right now we have the third game between Fnatic and Astralis in LoL. Tide has shifted looks like Fnatic is closer to taking the win here.
Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1's champion is the Ex-HR. While NaVi took the 2nd place on this tournament, I'm not familiar with their players but it seems another round of aspiring players being formed by them.
Funny to see the bracket below that Ex-HR came against Virtus.Pro for which it was the former team of Solo and Ramzes.
On the other news, ATF is out of Nigma Galaxy and Miracle is back on the roster for DreamLeague S19.

It seems some bookies are still giving decent odds on Old G because they are not considered as any favourites yet so yeah Im taking advantage on this for a while until the odds are lowered to around 1.5 or something
if you look at the previous match Old G has a bigger chance of winning compared to Hustlers. I now also choose to take this opportunity and bet on Old G as the winning team.It seems some bookies are still giving decent odds on Old G because they are not considered as any favourites yet so yeah Im taking advantage on this for a while until the odds are lowered to around 1.5 or something
even though Old G is not very familiar but their game performance is very good and in mastering the map they are also superior to Hustlers.
let's take a look at the current match in progress and hopefully this prediction is right.
It was convincing though but the 2nd map was kinda lame
. I thought I nailed it once more time when Old G won their 1st map. Its not a bad bet after all and I might be going for the same option as well on their next one. Taking team secret -1.5 might be a good option as well, I watched their game and I think they have what it takes to dominate division 2
in the 2nd map Old G underestimated Hustler and took too long to push to the tower, so in the late game Hustler was superior because Slark was very ferocious.
this Slark in the late game is very dangerous because if Slark has become wild the 5 people in front of him will be killed by themselves.
Old G's mistake of stalling for time caused Slark to have a gap to reach the max level which has high damage.
but it's okay there is still the next match and I think I will follow your prediction again.
wow NPL .Navi has seen what can happen when his team carries NPL, in the paris qualifiers. If the fifth player is also effective, it means they can beat FaZe 2-0.
Yeah if npl continues to perform well, it seems like NaVi has a great chance of winning this last CSGO major. Hopefully, they can keep up their strong performance on the Legends stage.FaZe is going against BNE for the qualification spot, I'm betting on an easy 2-0 there. I have to say BNE got quite lucky with the matchups so far (1WIN, Viperio, Apeks) so this match against FaZe will be their first real challenge against T1 teams. On the other side of the bracket, VP is fighting for their major life against Mouz. This will be a tough match for VP, as Mouz is one of the top teams in the 1-2 pool.
