Absolutely unlucky to win against EF Bad News Eagle, of course the Bad news Eagle team has almost tier 1 unique players. EF - ENCE match ended 2-0 and EF won both maps. They won 16-14 on both maps. There were no players under 1.0 KD, Imorr got better every match. Lan game did him good. The physical weight gain of EF players has really started to give a red alert, yes they spend most of the day inactive at the computer, but guess how low sugar resistance is in this way, these unhealthy forms will provide a great disadvantage in long-term games.
Then again, this team (Eternal Fire) is notorious for choking in important tournament stages so it could be a classic EF that we might see in the UB Finals.
LOL this came true. They lost 1-2 to BNE, it seems like a close match though. By the way, does anybody know why EF vs ENCE consolidation final match odd is almost even? EF beat ENCE 2-0 yesterday, shouldn't they be the favourites?
I knew it. Even though BNE is relatively unknown and has players that aren't as good aimers as Xantares and Calyx, EF is just a weak team when they are pressured and will literally shit the bed whenever they have the chance to.
As for EF vs ENCE on why they have the same odds almost, EF just lost embarassingly to a team that is not that established and unheard of, so oddsmakers would probably decide to give ENCE the benefit here even if they just lost 0-2 against EF yesterday. Of course, that pressure will only mount up because they are now fighting for tournament life after what happen, which might cause them to make a lot of mistakes too in this match up.
Brackets are already been made for the Lima Major of Dota 2. Look at the bracketing for group A and group B....
2 more days and we will see another great DOTA 2 action. And I am actually more curious about a series between Evil Geniuses and Shopify Rebellion. These 2 teams will have the attention of this major. Although we will have to wait a little longer as both teams are not in the same group. I'm not a fan of Bulba but maybe in this new team, Fly will be able to dominate a big part of the team's drafting and strategies.
The betting odds are picked Team Liquid, Tundra, and BetBoom as early favorites. Shopify Rebellion has 9x odds while EG is at x101.

eternal fire was defeated again against BNE yesterday.eternal fire, who lost in the upper bracket final, will fight with ence today after 15-20 minutes.the winner of this match will be against BNE again in the grand final.actually the match was very close. it is necessary to say that both teams won the maps they won with a close score. But eternal fire lost the match with simple mistakes.I don't think BNE plays a tactical game.they start running directly after getting an opening kill.
After G2 winning the IEM Katowice 2023 tournament I am really hyped for them to perform well this year. Next week the ESL Pro League Season 17 games are up again in Group A with G2 playing against Eternal Fire, unfortunately the odds are really bad with 1.02-1.05 for G2 to win, still worth it to make a small profit. Fnatic is going to face MIBR which is going to be a nice match and should be won by fnatic without much hassle. Also Cloud9 is playing against Evil Geniuses which is going to be a sure win for Cloud9. And the last match will be Outsiders vs IHC which is going to be won by Outsiders hopefully. G2 is clearly the strongest team this series and should win it, the second team to reach the upper bracket finals for Group A is likely Outsiders. Let's see if Heroic can get easily through group B and if there will be a final of G2 vs Heroic again.
I've just noticed that Knights is there, isn't it this team was the one accused of fixed matching during the qualifier for Lima major or they were clear as they've been qualified?
Yeah, they were accused of vision hacking but I think there is no resolution about that yet, so they are still part of the tournament until the resolution gets down. I was searching on the internet about that, but I can't find anything that is proven. I guess they will not be able to cheat on Lima so we will see if their performance will drastically decrease.

Eternal fire defeated the ence team in the upper bracket semifinal match and will fight with BNE in the upper bracket final. In this match, we see xantares and calyx duo coming to the forefront. The team started to play a really nice and enjoyable game. I hope they can continue this good form and have some success in the tournaments. The BNE team is a team that is against EF. We need to beat this team that we always lose by small margins.
Congrats to Eternal Fire on their important victory over Into the Breach by 2-0. It was a quite comfortable series for them by the way. There was a great show by XANTARES on both maps as usual. I believe he is really like the key player for this team. If it weren't for his fragging skills the team would have had bigger problems than now. Even now I can't say they are too consistent but hopefully they will get better in time. The chemistry and strategies will get stronger as they play more matches together.
Now we are going to be able to watch them in the RMR. I have good expectations from them there. They should make it to the Major as long as they get well-prepared for the RMR.

Eternal Fire is doing great at the moment, even when the team is down, he can talk about how he can turn the game around and make it happen. Today he faced ence in the semifinal match. Having managed to defeat the ence team, eternal fire started to wait for its opponent in the upper bracket final. eternal fire, which exhibited a good game as a team, hopefully wins this tournament. the team needs a lot of morale to win the tournament right now.
Should be a relatively easy game for EF against Bad News Eagles. I don't know much about the said team but even then, they might still put up a fight but I doubt it. Calyx is stepping up on a lot of occasions and xantares seems to be on point with shot calling and his aim. Doubt there'd be much of a contest if they played consistently when they defeated ENCE.

The last pick ended up hitting 
after Polaris wins game 1 but AG completes the reverse sweep to secure one of the two promotion slots to Div 1.Switching to some league of legends this weekend as there are a bunch of interesting matchups lined up (LCK,LPL, LEC) but the best one will be tomorrow though (T1 vs Gen G).
For my bet of the day, i'll go with BRO vs KDF over 2.5, this will be their second time meeting as we're in the second half of the season, and the last time these two met it went to three maps. BRO are still having a hard time getting their fourth series win but they should win here while KDF can keep it competitive regardless of their record as they've been getting maps against decent teams like Dplus KIA and LSB.
Eternal fire won 3 out of 3 games they played today. It was a really tiring day for them and these wins will boost their confidence. They reached the semifinals of the Malta tournament. In the major closed qualifiers, the situation is 2-1. One more win and they will qualify for rmr. We can say that Imorr and xantares were the leading players of the team in these matches. There is a noticeable increase in imorr's performance. Maybe he is playing better because of the lan tournament. Let's see if he can show the same performance in the upcoming matches.
It's good that EF needs one win. EF didn't start well in this qualifiers but they are in good shape now they will only get one win to rmr. I was able to take a look at the Forze and HAVU matches. I can say that especially the lan game it worked Imorr and then low ping creates very good games for Imorr. It has played the role of AWM well so far. I lost my hope on the first map in the Forze match because Anubis was one of the maps where EF was very good and it was their first choice, they lost this map 16-6. they did wonders on the other two maps.

Complexity well ahead of Mibr on Ancient, however vital detail is that Mibr hold the CT side and as mentioned by some top players the map has more then a little bias towards CT side. Col could do little but squirm and get a few impressive but futile kills while consistently losing rounds to Mibr vice like hold on the sites, recapping any plant made. Quite tragic but I learn my lesson this map is a wild card, its going in the same bin as old Nuke and other odd ends just have to remember it for the future 
Upon checking there's another team in the match which is the Shopify Rebellion which is the players of EG previously still they are capable to make a good gameplay just the new brand of the team, the draft is very unique right now unlike the bulba drafting before with the EG, I thought the game will close for 1:1 standing because of the greedy again with RTZ and Abed but they always now secured every time they seek an opportunity to end the game unlike before toying the enemies.
It's more impressive that 5Rat got a map out of that series since they had to play with a stand in. Bulba is still the coach of the team though and I remember when Arteezy put the blame on Bulba as they lost against TSM during the NA DPC.We have a top of the table match up between AG vs Polaris, I was thinking of skipping but I saw a good bet so might as well. I've gone for the over 2.5 because a few days ago both of them suddenly dropped maps against weaker teams that should've been a clean 2-0 if it weren't for the bad drafting and now with a tighter matchup it's more likely to go three maps.

Yeah, but that's old news. They've been released by EG before the DPC season started. As EG continues, they've chosen to relocate with a new team in South America.Their new roster is composed of 3 Thunder Awaken players and 2 beastcoast players from the last season. All of them are really good players and that's something new an organization has ever done when they migrated to another region because usually even if they migrate to another region, they still have the same roster but not with EG. All of the mentioned teams will participate in Lima major except Thunder Awaken. So, it's gonna be EG(new), Shopify Rebellion, and beastcoast.
EF's a defense in Inferno was terrible. A side pit players were ineffective all the time, they were passive, and the incoming backups were not enough. Maj3r contributed in the last rounds, we were coming back well but xanta painting was a big mistake in the last hand. He took too many risks on the banana when he was alone, he died while taking info and his side was empty. Bad new Eagles are a team that EF struggles every time they meet. In addition, the tactics and voices of the players were given from time to time in the content of this tournament. We heard Xantares curse at Calyx with toxic words, I was guessing that there was such toxic behavior within the team, I saw it today. It's hard this way
Copenhagen Flames has been very interesting on the offensive side. They never used the offensive game dynamics on the Nuke map. On a map where they finished 11-4 and played their defense well. In the second half, they couldn't even get a single round on the T side, they acted very differently. Anyway, the closed qualifiers continue. EF has one more game today.
