Interesting games today as most of these teams will try to secure their TI slots. I'm betting on Boom, EG, Outsiders, and Fnatic. Hopefully, I can get some nice wins here.

Game one between Boom and Liquid is still hanging in the air. But just as the game was switching towards Liquid's favor due to some unexpected decisions by Boom, Liquid all of a sudden was picked apart and apparently lost the game. Game two is coming up and I expect Boom to commit fewer mistakes to seal the series.  

Fortunately for you, Boom Esports pulled off an upset against Liquid. Liquid showing to be really strong but was outmaneuvered by Boom Esports. I am just astonished that even as a SEA team, Boom is showing so much discipline in their match today.

I am not betting so much on EG and FNATIC. EG showing inconsistency in the group matches and FNATIC having incomplete team. It is hard to put a bet on them in ML. If it is map handicap or over 2.5 maps, maybe I can put some. Their matches will be very close and probably will go the distance.

Taking over 2.5 maps for this though, just a hunch that Boom might pull an upset then forced Liquid to go all the way to the 3rd map



One down, three more to go and two with flat 1.88 odds. Had another one on Fnatic -1.5 but as long as the other two flat 1.88 odds ended up winning then Im good for today as I put higher stake on these three compared to the other one. Personally want Liquid to win this so that they will get the direct invite, that means Nigma will has less competitor on the regional qualifier  Roll Eyes

BOOM - Team Liquid ml odds sitting at 1.88 each, pretty much a coinflip,, if this ends with a fast 2-0 i'm gonna be so dissapointed, it has all the ingredients to be a banger series 🔥🔥

Yeah its pretty much coinflip for both team because any of them would get the next ticket to TI if they win this round so its going to be an all out or nothing series for both of these teams. Taking over 2.5 maps for this though, just a hunch that Boom might pull an upset then forced Liquid to go all the way to the 3rd map

Meanwhile, Fnatic vs Beastcoast looking like an easy 2-0 for Fnatic though as Beastcoast has already secured their seat on TI

Sandbox Gaming VS T1 Correct Map Score (1 - 2)
I like this pick and the +1.5 handicap on Sandbox @1.7 even though both teams already locked their spot for the playoffs it's still concerning that T1's form continues to decline.

T1 is really declining so fast, and right now they are losing to Sandbox, pretty much this is not a good sign for T1, I know Sandbox is a decent team and 3rd in the standings but this is the 3rd loss for T1 if this continues they will surely have a hard time against GEN.G in the finals, it was total domination for Sandbox, I think Faker is losing it aswell, he is just 26 years old but maybe he just needs to manage the team, but that is for him to decide if he wants to continue playing he can surely do,

Here are the results for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Gen.g Esports VS Brion Esports MAP 2 - 0 - PICK WIN

As expected from Gen.G they are really something and right now their hard work really paid off, they are now the lead on the standings, In Game 1 against Brion, Blade GEN.G made 63.7k gold, 14 kills, and 8 towers while Brion blade has 60.4k gold, 10 kills, and 5 towers, while on game 2 Gen.G got 65.4k gold 15 kills and 7 towers, while Brion blade has 56.2k gold, 9 kills, and 4 towers, dominating this game Gen.G was the victory,

Sandbox Gaming VS T1 MAP 2 - 0 - PICK LOST Correct Map Score 2 - 0 - LOST

I really didn't expect this to happen, T1 losing to Sandbox, is still mind-boggling, I thought that in the 2nd game T1 will surely make a comeback but the SANDBOX have dominated them this time, their gameplay has started to crumble but they still did a great job in getting this far, and 2nd place is not so bad,

That's a nice try if someone bet for Boom Esports against LGD. It is China's superhouse versus the strongest in SEA at the moment yet, a 2-0 in favor of LGD.

Boom is now on their last journey if they're going to lose against Team Liquid in the lower bracket.

While LGD, advances to the semis and secures 5th-6th place.

On the other hand, Tundra is now secured for TI11.

This is always the scenario for SEA Dota. They usually dominate there region but so weak compared to international teams because the environment on SEA is cancer especially on pub since this teams always practice on this kind of environment, They are always left behind by strong international teams like China and EU.

I wonder if SEA Dota will improve or we just need to accept the fact that this is the limitation. We can go always on Majors and TI but we can't get even close on Finals or Semis.
As per topias(topson), SEA is a hard region to dominate and he understands their play style but yeah, the difference of it from the other region is overwhelming. Well, anyone can take that either positive or negative description.

But it's true that the playstyle of SEA teams are utterly different and quite far from the good regions of China and EU.

We'll see it then if they learn from these experiences, AFAIK, TI made a huge difference last TI but they're still far from being qualified this upcoming TI.

They'll go through the qualifiers.


Topson is a troll himself and hearing a word like SEA is hard region to dominate which means even a certified pubs troll like him can’t even dominate a region that plays like we are usually doing. I remember one time when I just get back playing Dota2 pubs and I encounter a carry that whining about my performance instead on focus on the game. Only on SEA you can see players that typing all throughout the game just to bad mouth or thrashtalk opponents at the same time.

Imagine you encounter this kind of players on archon rank so it’s worst on higher rank because players on SEA play solo on this role playing game when they are playing ranked game alone. This is the reason why most of team on SEA never improve to the level of China because they can’t get a good practice from players with good team work.

The Evil Geniuses are trying something. They have 3 teams. And they have the chance to change players within these teams. They are trying to design all 3 teams separately. Lastly they added stanislaw and rush to their EG.CD roster. What they are trying is good but only if it works. Depending on the situation, they are probably planning to pull players from other teams for the main squad.

Brazilian teams have also started to proliferate. A new team was formed, led by Felps and vsm.

The Apeks team also decided to replace 2 players. The first player is JL from ex-Mad Lions. I am looking forward to the second player.

I might also take Entity to win since I did not watch that game from EG and what I have seen they were bad Smiley
Entity odds are getting slashed, currently @1.7 and falling, too low for a team that are clearly overperforming with a stand-in. And EG are the underdogs, madness, how the mighty have fallen  Grin

It's been a fast month in CS:GO. Transfers are happening one by one. Tizian has left the team after a long time by benching from the big main roster. k1to will continue in Tizian's place.
Heet added Jackz, who left G2, to his roster. Of course, G2 also made changes in the main roster. Jks and hooxi will join g2's main roster. I think it will be a better roster.

Then , we had Outsiders with Ramsez who simply want's in his best day and missed so many important initiations with Furion and that ended up with losing the series eventually.
It is quite a thrilling match between outsiders and team spirit. Game 2 was really intense. That game could have gone either way but credits to Team Spirit for putting up the good offense and winning the game.

Today , for me , it's all about EG as I really want to see this team being happy and winning series and events.

They will have a hard time though. They will be battling it with Entity in their match later. Entity put up a good fight last night with OG. But I guess OG did expose them a bit in their drafting so maybe EG can use that info to out draft Entity in their games. Let us see if they can capitalize on that information.

As per topias(topson), SEA is a hard region to dominate and he understands their play style but yeah, the difference of it from the other region is overwhelming. Well, anyone can take that either positive or negative description.

I think what he meant was playing a pub in sea since sea server is very toxic. Most players do not know how to play in a team, and he was used to playing in a team. Like most will say, if you can survive sea, you can survive anywhere.

Powerhouse indeed even going against former teammates in RNG doesnt really stood a chance against LGD.Im not underestimating strong SEA teams but it is really understandable if we do talk about on

whose gonna win but the main problem or common one with LGD is that they do choke on TI. Tongue
This is a different roster of LGD from the last TI, on the past tournaments, this current roster of LGD is really dominating but let's see if they'll continue up to the bigger stage.

Your parlay is very accurate as if you have a crystal ball on your pocket. What is the total odds for that parlay if you don’t mind to be ask?
Damn, it seems I cropped the image a bit too much. I am always sharing total odds and almost always stakes. What is the point of sharing oterwise? It was a really good day for me yesterday and I hit mulitiple tickets. Too bad stakes were quite small since I started the day with 0 money and just 2 free bets.

Total odds of above ticket were 4.59

Yesterday it all went perfect for me:


Hoping to continue in the same way today. I am also expecting all the series to go the distance and will be taking over maps. I might also take Entity to win since I did not watch that game from EG and what I have seen they were bad Smiley

Nice prediction @Trofo, Actually we have same result but the only difference was I usually choose +1.5 than match winner except for PSG.LGD which is obviously gonna sweep Boom because they sweep most of the power house team in there bracket and only Soniqs manage to get a game to them which probably just luck.

I might go with Entity @1.8 in the lower brackets for tomorrow as I think they have the edge over EG since they already 2-0'd them during the groups.
last time I saw EG playing they actually looked like a competent team and managed to beat Team Spirit with superb performances from RTZ and Nightfall. EG are still on the race for a TI spot so i expect them to put up a fierce fight. I would've gone with total maps in this series, but this is what i have for today:

Did you bet for Boom? They're at 5.40 right now but I highly doubt they can beat LGD. LGD only losses when they're not playing seriously like that Chinese qualifiers and of course during TI late upper bracket stages most probably mental effects and some pressure.

Since I am still at a loss in this tournament I will go for the safer pick. Fnatic +1.5 at 1.58.

I think LGD and OG will win 2-0. The Toughest games will be between Team Spirit vs Outsiders and Aster vs Fnatic.

OG proved to be really strong in their matchup against Entity. They won 2-1. Saberlight was not able to do anything in Games 2 and 3 for OG out drafted them and they basically denied the laning phase to him. In game 2, it was the worst doom for saberlight.

OG won but it messed up your parlay. I guessed that game 1 was just an experimental pick that did not pan out that is why they lost. And they got serious in Games 2 and 3 to win the series.
It did look like it, after the first game OG instantly removed Entity's Chen and banned it on the next two games plus getting the Puck as their mid twice in a row really sealed the series for them as it offered so much impact on both games.

I might go with Entity @1.8 in the lower brackets for tomorrow as I think they have the edge over EG since they already 2-0'd them during the groups.

Also the Team Spirit vs Outsiders series is getting spicy, game 2 could've gone either way.

It is understandable with Aster and LGD to pick -1.5 maps because they are really strong in this tournament. If there is a team that have the possibility to beat LGD it would be team Aster.

But I do not understand why you would pick -1.5 on OG and Outsider. This match is more likely to go to Game 3 than these teams getting 2-0. Aren't you underestimating the strength of Entity and Team Spirit? Team Spirit normally drops games in the early stages but comes very strong late in the tournament. Entity is quite strong too as we've seen in the group stage. I think you are giving too much credit for OG and Outsider but we will see. Good luck with your parlay.


Just because their h2h in regional, spirit / entity never win single map against VP / OG. Picking +1.5 is not worth imo.

Also i think fnatic has higher chance to win at least a map but who knows, just small combo bet and believe china

PSG LGD made easy work on Boom Esports. They easily won 2-0 and in a very short time as well. LGD really looking good.



OG proved to be really strong in their matchup against Entity. They won 2-1. Saberlight was not able to do anything in Games 2 and 3 for OG out drafted them and they basically denied the laning phase to him. In game 2, it was the worst doom for saberlight.
