I expect we will see one of Vitaliy or Faze in the final. The matches at the top are more difficult than at the bottom.
Today we saw that in the Ence-G2 match, ence did not let g2 pass with a good game.Nertz and dycha had a good match and won the match for their team.As I mentioned recently after Nertz came, there is a rise in the ence team.
NaVi continues on its way by defeating the outsiders team.We have to say that they are starting to recover as a team.I feel like we are going back to the times when NaVi started to play well from match to match and everyone in the team started to contribute.It should be said that everyone played equally and well in this match.

I think grand final gonna be G2 vs Heroic 
Looking at the playoff bracket, I agree, it appears we may be in for another G2 vs Heroic final, similar to last month's IEM Katowice. Given NaVi's recent performance, it seems that Faze may be the only significant challenge for Heroic on their side of the bracket, potentially leading to an exciting semifinal clash. As for G2, if they manage to defeat Vitality in the quarterfinal, their path to the final will be smooth as I don't expect Mouz/Pain/C9 to give them any challenge. 
The only surprise result for me was Liquid losing to pain. Thus, liquid became the team that said goodbye to the tournament.
G2 didn't struggle against an easy opponent and won. It was an easy match for them.
Furia-fnatic was a closer match. Both teams had prominent names. Furia won the match and became the team that continued on its way.
In Liquid, things are not going well. There is a bad atmosphere in the team and if this atmosphere does not dissipate, the team will collapse morally in tournaments and success will become impossible.
In the last match of the day, Na'vi defeated 00nation, albeit hard. There is a noticeable drop in S1mple's performance. I don't know if he is trying to lead the team as igl. If so, he's doing himself a disservice.

i think he just don't care anymore... i feel like he dont wanna carry 1v9 anymore, if his teammates not even trying in the match, he just int.. something like that

Getting this silly bet for the NA DPC. Odds are lame yeah but I just cant seem on not to take this especially when I know that both of these teams are owning most of the NA DPC teams
Got this down. Seems like a good decision this time but 1.74 odds for two games and taking 2-0 means thats total of 4 maps to win so odds are actually on the lower side to be considered as a good bet.
I normally wouldnt bet on SEA region but I have been following Talon since the Lima Major and so far it seems they are pretty good but this time they are playing against SMG which also have won 3-0 so far. Getting classic over 2.5 maps on this because Im not sure if I should go with Talon -1.5
Esl playoffs are underway and there are no surprises in the matches played so far. The first match was between G2-MR. I can say that G2 had a comfortable win. Jks was the star of the team today. MR couldn't do anything against the strong G2.
The second match of the day was furia-fnatic. Furia managed to win 2-0. Both maps were close in terms of score. Fnatic had a hard time beating the Brazilian team. Kscerato was the star of the team. We can say that he won the match.nicoodoz's effort was unfortunately not enough to win the match.

I thought that the power of friendship will lose against PuckChamp. If you guys know what I mean, I'm talking about Old G. 
It's a 2-1 for them but still moved to the last part of the closed qualifier for the upper bracket finals. I guess that they'll be against Betrayed and from that team I only know two players which are Symetrical and Shad.
While for some SEA Dota 2 action for this day, Blacklist lost against Army Geniuses. It seems that Blacklist players have gotten old and they need to revamp their roster or hire another one and replace their coach.

Even the Astralis talent or juniors team is ranked 35 in the world, thats pretty dam high for 'new' players. Must be ones to watch, they are currently wrecking some poor team that might as well be called target practise seems like. They arent that young 18 19 youngest and opposing team has a 17 year old so actually more of a second team as is the meta nowadays.
CLG RED a womens team play an all male team in a couple hours, a controversial topic for some. I've bet womens league games before, some of them have been playing for as long as csgo has been around so history is there for anyone interested though the games are more risky to bet on I guess. I cant recommend it as a bet this time, looks unsurmountable for CLG but live bet who knows maybe.
Into the Breach can win on more maps then Sangal, consistency counts. Bet Breach and/or 3 maps if hesitant; both teams had similar rounds vs Honoris which is Taz's team so maybe it will be a closer game.

Forze really surprised me in this bracket.. tbh i was expecting them to lose to spirit some days ago. Now i believe they really can go to semis.. showed a solid CS.
Thoughts about the bracket?
I think grand final gonna be G2 vs Heroic
EDIT: Can someone please explain me how do i post the image directly?? I mean to post image instead link to imgur
Forze in ESL Pro League played very effective games in the pro league tournament. And they eliminated strong teams. In the Overpass map, ENCE couldn't do anything, they only won three rounds, which was a bit embarrassing. They really worked very well on their own maps, there were almost no mistakes. Cloud9 is one of the teams I've seen close to the final. Maybe they can be matched with G2, I guess in the grand finale. Thoughts about the bracket?

Esl pro league matches have entered the playoff stage. The matches to be played tomorrow are;
NaVi-00Nation , Furia-Fnatic , Pain-Liquid and G2 - Movistar Riders.
The teams I expect to win will be NaVi, Furia, Liquid and G2. It's hard to predict if there will be a surprise, but logically I hope that the results will be like this. I'm also thinking of getting tips accordingly. I'll be sad if there is a surprise.

I really think Div 1 is their main goal. It just looks like they're fooling around but in reality, they are not. You can see how coordinated their game is and how well they are playing the map. These guys are updated in the meta, especially Resolution who just got out of Secret. They might even take a shot on a major or 2 if not the TI. I would love to see them on a LAN just schooling the new teams with their game sense and knowledge. You see, Topson is still one of the best midlaners out there and he's not too 'old' for the game. A lot of players still respect him even though he's no longer playing competitively unlike 3 yrs before.
They'll be tested when the opponents are good and experienced and we'll see that soon. We've seen that Ceb and other players tried this thing before and I think that was like the same as this Old G? I can't remember the exact name but that was a failure on them.And those opponents that they've been stomping on this closed qualifier, they're getting free lessons from this team and that's actually one of the best experiences that they've got to learn from it so, to those that they've won against aren't really losers.
Yeah you're right. Maybe the enemies that they're faced right now aren't really a threat to them at all. But it feels like Topson wants to take this serious together with Resolution. Topson tried for TI last year and even flew to SEA just to get that set-up. The man still has years of playing dota professionally ahead of him if he continues to play like that.
Last year it's also like this, and they were only playing for the fun of it, I believe, since there was chaos on who goes to which team before TI qualifiers started. Then after a few weeks Topson expressed interest in playing professionally and was picked-up by T1 to be a stand-in, joining old teammate ana. It was a disaster but I'm pretty sure Topson wanted more. OldG might be the training ground before he chooses to join a team that plays more seriously.
There's this craving from Reso and Topson and I think with Ceb as well that they want to take it to the next level and be serious with these qualifiers. They're now playing against Puckchamp and as of typing this, they're on their game 1. They may look having fun with most of their games but I'm sure that they are treating every team they're playing with in a serious mode.
I definitely didn't expect such a result in the Forze-Ence match. Ence had a very bad match. They could have done better. It should be said that they already showed a terrible game on the overpass map chosen by Forze. The second map was the anubis map of their choice. Although Sunpayus did his best, they couldn't win the match. The successful awper who managed to get 34 kills could not win the match for his team. I guess I don't need to say that they played badly as a team again. This is a team game and if your team doesn't play well, you can't win no matter how well you play.
Old G is dominating the Division 2 tournament which means only few waiting until they will move on the higher Division to compete against the big boys. I really miss Topson, Ceb & Notail playing together again just like the old times. I hope that they will a good run with this roster.
Notail is not playing anymore alongside with them. He is no focus on being caster of the game instead of playing pos 5. They seems doing fine on Division 2 but I won’t rate them on the same caliber of the team in Division because they commit a lot of mistake on their team fights and the only reason why they keep winning on Division 2 is because their enemy is scared to them.
You will notice that most of the Division 2 team usually leave their team mates or doesn’t bother to respo on separate clash because they are too inferior against OldGeezer roster. You will notice the real skill difference once this team match up against Liquid or Gaimin.

Anyone watching OldG games on Division 2? It’s so entertaining watching all their matches because you can feel that they just having some fun on all of their games while they trust each other on the game. There play give same vibes the old OG that win 2 TI championship. Resolution and No[one] are very good on there respective role because they are playing synchronized to the 3 original player of old OG. I think they still can compete on Division 1 if they will just developed more their game play. I’m rooting for this team to beat the top tier teams on Division 1 unlike their new OG that is now crumbling because of their pos 1 cold performance and pos 5 that can’t find a way to contribute a big impact in the game.

I've got the same vibes watching. It's just so fun to watch them and I'm sure that behind those monitors, they're all having fun.

I really miss Topson, Ceb & Notail playing together again just like the old times. I hope that they will a good run with this roster.
But I think these teams on the division 2 closed qualifiers are too far from the experience of Old G's roster. Well, they're not yet on division 2 and these games are qualifiers and if ever they end up 1st or 2nd then they'll be heading to the division 2.
And from there, the qualifiers will be tougher because Team Secret and Alliance are there together with other teams that are underrated.
If Old G's dominating streak continues, they're only 2 series away to be qualified.
I'm tailing even though they were dropping a bunch of maps last tour it's still a good bet.
Looks like it was a good bet afterall and I think they are going to be doing pretty good for the rest of the game. The odds providers are most likely going to drop their odds for -1.5 maps for the upcoming games for sure after they won 2 games consecutively but even if it drops to somewhere between 1.8-1.9 , I think its still a pretty decent odds to take
