the other day, fnatic @2 vs cloud9, now Rge @2.5 vs drx... people were underestimating EU, glad i was able to grab those odds. Unfortunately though I didn't trust G2 tonight and they absolutely crushed EG, kills handicap would've been easy money. But now it's time to change the script, FNC v T1, hopefully it'll be another 22 minute game for T1 *edit huh, ironic

I didn't expect that loss from T1 but Fnatic is on a roll right now and i'm looking forward to their game against EDG later since T1 was able to beat EDG on the first day so more or less it'd be close than the odds suggest.

SEA teams will have a tough matchup since they are against the top seed of each bracket. T1 is going against NAVI in the first game tomorrow, while Polaris will go against Team Liquid. With a very short time to prepare, SEA teams may be knocked down to the lower bracket tomorrow.

I agree with Polaris losing since Team Liquid looked solid so far but I think the Navi-T1 match should be close even though Navi topped the groups, T1 can still put up a surprise. Also, the over 2.5 maps might be the best play for now since every other match feels like a tossup aside from Team Liquid.

Today are the deciding matches. It will be decided whether teams will start from challenger stage or legends stage. In the first match of the day, we watched vitality-heroic. I can say that Heroic played really incredible. They are playing a game that I like in a team sense. Each player has a different talent. They have a really good roster. We can call them the best Danish team.

No sweat, They can sweep WG since that team has a very low performance on this tournament unless they choke again to the weakest team to there bracket. I check the standings and they already secured Upper Bracket even if they didn't sweep WG since there final standing will be 4-6 or 5-5 in case they lose on both match or draw since Infamous is already completed all there match with 3-7 final score that is much lower on the T1 worst possible outcome.

Matu seems a bit on fire to this tournament since this is his last game for his career before will retired. I believe Team Liquid can have a good run on this tournament than T1.

WG was able to get a split but was not enough to catapult them to the upper bracket. T1 was able to secure the upper bracket after they won the second map against Wildcard Gaming.

The Last Chance Qualifier Group stage is now over, and we have the lineup for the playoffs. Navi finished top in Group A while team Liquid finished at the top spot in Group B.

Here is the line up in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals.

SEA teams will have a tough matchup since they are against the top seed of each bracket. T1 is going against NAVI in the first game tomorrow, while Polaris will go against Team Liquid. With a very short time to prepare, SEA teams may be knocked down to the lower bracket tomorrow.

Currently that unexpected thing happen after the T1 losses to team liquid they make a good comeback against Xtreme gaming 2-0 and there are a lot of people make a good bet which is a huge odd of 7.0~ and even just a small amount still have a good return, right now they have a match between against the VP and still manage to tie the game right now they have a match between the WG which is depends right now if they will become in the top bracket else they make a 2-0 lose against them this is another rematch for the qualifiers.

Another amazing game with the T1 vs Team Liquid even though Ana and topson is already in their side still T1 has a lacking with their drafts like mostly picking Morpling and Riki is not ideal in the game and of course they keep opening for the Insania Enigma and Boxi which let them easily initiate the game. Right now, we are waiting for the T1 again upcoming match.

This upcoming bet I go for the Vg, Team Liquid and T1 for the upcoming spot.

This was yesterday. T1 was destroyed by Team Liquid, 2-0.

Earlier, T1 was able to make a comeback and now back in good standing. They were able to defeat Xtreme Gaming 2-0. This is good for T1 for they were able to defeat a Chinese team that is favored in this tournament. I was not able to watch the game but that is a good way to get their confidence back and gain momentum in this tournament.

They are now current in a match with VP and they started really well. They are 5K ahead, but we still cannot count VP out of this map. They can still come back from this if T1 makes a mistake. VP is still able to give a decent team fight against t1.

The last few moments of game 1 shows what T1 can do if every single one of them is aware of what's happening and they have proper communication on what they want to do. Also, if Kuku is not experimenting on heroes and he's sticking with his guns, he can outfarm anyone and dominate the game in a very convincing fashion. Well Topson seems like he's enjoying a midlaner that dominates early then falls off as a utility/initiator in the late game and that also helps. 3 games in a row with Primal Beast, this dude doesn't really get bored that fast too.

There is really shocking news about Eternal Fire side. They decided to remove MAJ3R from the team. As you might have heard, there were already some problems among the players and this was affecting them mentally bad. woxic talked about something but didn't give details. After some time I saw a video of a match of them that woxic was complaining to MAJ3R about his mostly talking to paz and imoRR in the match and that must be the reason of this in-team problem. At least it's seen like this as they haven't made a statement about that.

Now the new IGL is imoRR and xfl0ud is back in the roster.

https://www.hltv.org/news/34767/maj3r-removed-from-eternal-fire-for-them-i-was-not-enough-and-the-problem

I don't understand why such a change was made. It was one of the events that surprised me. When there was no igl, igl was being searched for, so calyx was sent. Now igl is gone and calyx is gone too. It's strange that imorr and paz are the problem but igl left the team. I'm glad xlfoud is back but I feel like continuing with imorr and paz will be a really big problem. It would have been better if soulfly transfer from sangal came.

I believe that they should have brought a new IGL then and imoRR should have been benched. However Eternal Fire have done the most meaningless thing by making imoRR even the IGL of the team. Cheesy

imoRR could be the last player to do a good job with this role in this team. He's already been criticized a lot about his playing without decent strategies. He just runs to the enemy and dies in 10-15 seconds. He does this so many times and leaves his teammates alone at the beginning of a round already. Maybe they wanted to make him less active by giving this role to him. But I still don't think that he is good enough to perform this role strongly. Let's see how things will go in the future.

Sprout have been the luckiest team in the RMR A. Because they didn't have too difficult opponents generally and they made use of this in the best way by qualifying for Major directly. Their win over Spirit was a little surprising actually because Spirit were a better team on paper. They lost only to FaZe which was the expected result.

The last team to qualify for the Major directly are going to be determined today by the Spirit - Cloud9 matchup. Cloud9 are the favourite team of this matchup obviously and I don't think we will see a surprise result in this one. Cloud9 should be able to defeat them 2-1 at worst. They have beaten much tougher opponents lately.

Cloud9 have a huge dominance in almost all maps against Spirit:

all matches today are 🔥🔥🔥 i see some value in Rogue to win. 2.5 odds for the LEC's #1 seed facing a play-in team? worth it. Two more tickets: EDG -8.5 and T1 -9.5

I like Rogue as well even though DRX had a clean record in the play-ins i'll probably wait out on the draft since I learned my lesson after being confident on Cloud9 pregame.

It's so ez

Congratulations to the bad news eagles. It's really an incredible accomplishment. They qualified for the major tournament for the second time. It is a great achievement for a team that has not shown itself in such places before to come this far with determination.
On the other hand, complexity qualified for the major tournament with a good game. I can say that Hallzerk found himself again with this team. Dignitas continues to play the same way as before.

Secret is doing great so far with 1 draw and 1 win.

VP is doing great as well.

Na'Vi ...will trow anytime soon as that is typical for them.

ViCI gaming , always a great team that can pull magic drafts out of nowhere so eyes on their drafts.

Liquid are on a row!

Secret is far from being eliminated on the next day because of the scores of the other teams on their bracket, Tempest and nouns.

While on the bracket B, the crowd favorite T1 is in danger of getting eliminated later on the day 2 of the LCQ and after that if they ended up being at the top 5 or 6, they're out.

No one is getting eliminated yet. The group stage is to determine if you are upper or lower bracket in the playoffs. Those who finish top 4 in the group stage will go to the upper bracket and the last two of the group will go to the lower bracket. It is better to be in the upper bracket because you have two lives to stay in the tournament. While lower bracket teams will have to play elimination game throughout the playoffs. But it is not like they cannot win it. We've seen a lot of lower bracket teams in DOTA make it to the finals. Anyway, the winner of Upper Bracket Final and Lower Bracket Final will qualify for TI.

Team Secret can still end up top of Group A. They have Polaris on their First match today, which I think they can beat. Then NAVI on the 2nd match. If they can beat NAVI, they will be top of Group A. That is a good position.

I only bet on one event, Secret vs Tempest, and only on game 1 because I'm not entirely sure how Tempest really plays, but I do know that Secret is going to trash them in one game at least.

I did check on that one as well but the odds was around 1.2 or something which is not really worth to bet on BO2 games. The things about BO2 games are that if the team you bet on mess on 1 map then your bets are gone unless if you go for draw but its not easy to bet on draw on most match. Aside from that, its just feels so weird to bet on draw then watch a team that you really wanted to win the game

Betting on these for tomorrow and trying to get 2 draws for tomorrow

Heroic-BIG fight was won by heroic as I expected. Tabsen stood out in big with his individual performance but his individual performance was not enough to win the match. Heroic played better as a team than big. We can see from these results that CS:GO is not an individual game. No matter how good you are individually, it is not enough.

When it comes to tabseN, did you see what he did in the 4th round on Inferno? Grin

I really didn't understand what he was up to. He killed stavn at bombsite A and he was going to defuse the bomb. He went to take the awp which was dropped on long. He was right in front of it but suddenly he changed his mind after seeing the time left for the bomb to explode. He came right back to the bomb to defuse but couldn't defuse it by a very small time period.

Here is the link to the incident:

Liquid are on a row!

Its more like they were throwing away that free win against Infamous and I lost alot betting on it. Its only been day 1 and I have lost decent amount because I thought Secret and Liquid would be killing it against the NA & SA teams. I should have cashed them out after the 1st game, profit was around 1.4x or something dang it

I only bet on one event, Secret vs Tempest, and only on game 1 because I'm not entirely sure how Tempest really plays, but I do know that Secret is going to trash them in one game at least. The rest I don't really care much at all. I mean, just look at T1 against Liquid. They looked like toys in the hands of Liquid even though they are expected to go toe-to-toe against the team. Perhaps I'll place my bet once the LCQ goes halfway through the run. This removes the bad apples and inconsistent teams so betting should be a breeze once we get the format to a BO3.

Fnatic defeated Russian team 1win to take the rmr spot. It wasn't a very difficult match for Fnatic. They had a very comfortable game on the Overpass map. Nicodooz is a really good awper. He showed his difference in this match.
Gamerlegion is halfway through the major after eliminating g2. They became a really good team in a short time. I wonder how they will perform in the major.

The only plays I have for later are VG 2-0 @1.70 against Nouns and [email protected] between Navi and VG, i'd assume both teams probably won't mind taking a map each and the only thing they have to avoid is losing two games in a row so they could main their position for the upper bracket spots.
