Good thing I did not bet on this match. If I bet, I should have lost because I thought this series will go the distance. My over 2.5 maps should have lost.

I was not able to watch fully the game, but I saw that Team Liquid won 2-0 against Team Secret. It looks like Nisha is blending better with team Liquid than Boom with Team Secret. Nisha is a good player; it is a shame that Team Secret has to let him go.


Good thing they adapted quickly to their new roles in the team. They have been playing for quite some time now so maybe that helped them adjust faster and better.

I like mICKE being carry than Nisha. Nisha previously played carry and he's just not that good on that role as he struggles to find farm unless his supports do their thing flawlessly on the map. Whereas mICKE just knows how to play the map and when to move around even without crucial core items that he needs. I think iNSaNiA is also doing pretty good as a captain because his teammates feel very confident when moving around the map with him and making plays, pushing Secret to take a fight and forcing a mistake to get gold and reduce their map control. That 2 games showed how well Team Liquid played the map, without relying that much on meta heroes.

it looks like my prediction was right and Tundra gave me 3 wins







because Tundra likes matches in the late game and seems to give hope to his opponent, but in fact, in the late game, Tundra puts tremendous pressure on him.
I think as long as Sneyking is still the captain of the Tundra he will be stronger in DPC 2023.


maybe you mean TI dota 2 finals.
yes, it's true that at that time the Secret team had a very good and decent performance if you become a fan of the Secret team. but it cannot be denied that Tundra has a stronger team and has a good strategy in the Late game and Early game. if you look at last year's TI final, Tundra had a very compact team performance and caused the Secret team to be overwhelmed


i didn't bet on Secret vs Liquid match, looks like i missed that match.
Nisha is now not on Team Secret anymore after the player transfer and it's like it's a loss for Team Secret to let Nisha go to Team Liquid. if I'm not mistaken in the Secret vs Liquid match with a score of 0:2 and Liquid won this match.
it looks like there has been a change in the roster composition of the Liquid team after Nisha joined the Liquid team. now miCKe becomes Carry and Nisha becomes Midlaner.
to be honest I missed this match very sad because I support team Liquid. because I really like the way Team Liquid plays quickly without beating around the bush when they have the opportunity to finish off the opponent in front of them very quickly.
in this it will be hard work for Puppey as the star of team Secret to accept defeat.

Anyone bet on Secret vs Liquid? mICKE is a different beast in the starting of this 2023 DPC season, and it shows how well he has improved in his farm rotations and his decision-making as to whether he should join the fights or not. Also, it's weird seeing Nisha not being in Team Secret lol. His first match really has to be against his former teammates and he just flexed on them with his Batrider. Secret seems to have a hard time synchronizing their moves with BOOM, but hopefully the man finds his footing in this tier 1 team lead by Puppey.

The Tundra team is indeed a very good and strong team, even the unity in playing is not in doubt. However, in the previous Dota 2 match at the peak of the finals, I supported the Secret team over the Tundra team and it was a pity that the Tundra team won.
From previous Dota 2 matches, I have observed that when I was still in the preliminary phase there was a lot of manipulation where a team that should have been able to win matches easily ended up losing.
However, after reaching the semifinals, you can see that each team is playing professionally and is serious about winning.
So if you want to place a bet on a Dota 2 match, we have to really observe and determine which team is really right to bet on.

Tundra proves that they are the reigning champions. They have a solid draft and solid late game performance. Though OG has a very stellar laning phase, Tundra was able to push through and reverse the situation in the late game. I think OG is being cheeky again with their laning strats. They were able to find kills but they were not able to build on it on and sustain them until late game.

Tundra wins, 2-0. A good way to start their DPC season.

But they still rocked with each other though, and to an extent knows how each one plays. The meta changes, but when you played with someone for quite some time, you'll learn to adapt with them and 'get inside their heads' when they're playing. But yeah, the meta they know won't work anymore and they have to dust their strategies because for sure, they are in for a treat with a lot of stronger teams in the region. SEA is just not that strong compared to other regions, but there are tons of individual talents out here that can belong to a top tier team.

congratulations on the victory your prediction is very correct.
but I was a little disappointed when I expected FNATIC to win and it turned out that my prediction was wrong and my multi bet failed

for this first map match OG is superior but it seems like this is just a trick by Tundra to give pleasure at the start for OG and I'm sure at the end of the game Tundra will win. I think this match will have 3 maps in the first match OG wins, second match Tundra, map 3 match Tundra wins. (just my prediction) hope my prediction doesn't fail again

Congratulations on your bet! Your parlay won.

Geek Fam won 2-0 against FNATIC. Did not expect that.

I think the picks of Blacklist on the first map are goofy that is why Bleed won the first map. Then they got serious on second and third maps and they had a decisive win over Bleed.


OG and Tundra match will be awesome to watch. OG does not have ATF anymore. He is replaced by DM but the other players of the roster are still intact. I am expecting the defending Champion to win since they have no roster change but currently, OG is on the lead early in the game. Let's see if they will bounce back mid or late game.

Yeah, after the SEA region, we've got now the WEU region. The first game will be played by OG and Tundra. What are such good teams to start the season.

Actually, Tundra has posted a few days ago about a hint about an announcement. But what's funny is that they're announcement is that no one gets kicked from the team. 

Finally, the DPC between different regions kicks off today. 

I'll start off with a multi that consists of +1.5 spreads, I would've also included Execration +1.5 in there but Sportsbet only offers match winners for some reason. I'm not too convinced about the favorites when some of slight underdog teams like Bleed esports and Geek Slate showed competitive results coming from the third-party tournaments.

I bet with 2 methods, the first is with a single bet and the second is a multi bet combining opportunities by choosing Talon and FNATIC.

for betting on DOTA 2 I don't only bet on Stake but on several other platforms. because I also like to bet on total kills and the total duration of the match will be much profitable for me.

Looks like a good bet but the odd is not so enticing. Maybe if you multi it with the FNATIC vs Geek Farm match, it will have a better odd.

There are 3 games today at SEA Region but Stake took the first 2. Maybe they open a betting line for BLCK vs Bleed. I would like to bet on that. Both of these teams purchased their Division 1 rights to previous Div 1 teams.  I would like to watch them play if they are worth to take a risk later on the season.

me, too. I currently only bet on a few favorite teams because I've never seen how well the Chinese teams play.
and in the end it was PSG.LGD who won the match, because it was clear that PSG.LGD game was very good and deserved to be the favorite.
for the next match I choose a team that may also be one of the favorite teams

The rating is based on individual performance, so team success may have little effect on the rating. Though it can boost a player's performance if they are ending on top of the rankings in tournaments.


I am not expecting too much from Blacklist right now. They are playing against Bleed later today. I have not seen a line for that match yet maybe later.

I do not know if they will recruit players from another country. I am inclined to believe that they want this team to be pure Filipino since they want this to raise Filipino Pride in DOTA. But that will limit their pool for good players since there are very few good Filipino DOTA players left.

Well, there are always the bettors that will blame the team they bet for when they've lost. But here it goes, the DPC for SEA is later and we shall see the Blacklist Dota 2 team play against Bleed Sports who have become the champion for the M88 tournament.
Give them a try and let's see since this is a DPC tour and most teams will want to stay in division 1 and will play all their might and best to be at the top. Let's see who will get the first blood on this first day of the tour.

I'm sure fans who bet on them got disappointed because of the result of their recent tournament. Tomorrow they will enter DPC and we will see how their team will perform. If somehow they did produce a bad result or having not so entertaining game, I'm sure people would be angry and a new hype of hate will be born again since I'm guessing that Filipinos are the one mainly betting for them. If the situation got worst for Blacklist dota team, I hope that Blacklist International wouldn't stop producing teams like this. Most likely they will recruit another talents from another country.

We have started to see interesting names in top 20 players list in CS:GO.

I wasn't expecting to see KSCERATO and stavn in top 10 to be honest. Both players made a huge improvement in their performances in last months of 2022 though. But I don't know if they were both good enough throughout the year to deserve to be in top 10. Heroic had a really good time period for a long time so maybe this was also a factor in stavn's entering this area. But KSCERATO is a FURIA player and his team haven't been that much successful to be honest. His improvement in his individual performance last a few months should have made a good impact.

Yeah they were totally much better and even the odds was lower on Knights end and I kinda predicted that it would be a close game between those two and perhaps IG could ended up winning on the 3rd map therefore I bet on them to win to add some variance into it merely because of the odds as well but yeah it was sucks though

Just for fun, I am betting on some games in Chinese Div 1 Winter Tour.

Since I am not well-versed in the current Chinese teams, I just took the favored team.

Good luck to anyone taking action in this Division.




That is a very long time ago. I do not even know if they are still up to date with the current meta. SEA is a weaker region, but the competition is still going to be tough. If they want to qualify for TI this year, it will be a lot of work.
