Movistar riders managed to beat the outsiders, albeit with difficulty. Outsiders fell behind in team performance on their chosen overpass map. When we look at the statistics of the Overpass map, we see that the movistar riders team is better. It's the same on the Vertigo map. Overall, both teams were not bad. Movistar riders qualified for the esl conference tournament.

I thought that I'm the only one having that feeling that they've been like giving away games to their opponents. They don't care about DPCs anymore because they're secured for the TI.

That's why whether they get in or not for this Arlington major, it won't matter to them because they're already in and just waiting for the day of The International.

No doubt that Xtreme gaming is strong but with the looks of the play, they really are suspicious. Maybe it's like allowing other teams to get on those points and it's okay for them to lose it as they give that opportunity and slot to a strong team too.

I also think vitality, heroic and big will get tickets to iem cologne. Apart from these 3 teams, the teams that I think will get the ticket are as follows; Spirit, Mouz, Astralis, 00Nation and Mibr. The matches will start on Tuesday. I am eagerly waiting for that day. I enjoy watching more in big tournaments. Maybe a team other than the ones I mentioned may surprise.

If BIG are anywhere near what the performed in the Roobet Cup, I'll definitely put them in the conversation for potential winners too, and If the odds are worth it, I might as well put a little on that. NaVi for me would be the biggest favorites with s1mple seemingly having a good time.

The only down part of the tournament imo might be how teams would adjust to the event being an offline one and without live audience, I really don't know the details but from the commentary after the Roobet cup finals, the hosts were talking about the technical differences between the online and offline CS:GO and it effects on the players.

By the way the IEM Cologne 2022 tournament is closing in on us now. In two days we are going to start with play-in games first. The first eight teams of this elimination round are going to join the main tournament. Even in this stage there are really big teams like BIG, Heroic, Vitality and some more. The favourites wouldn't make a mistake I guess. But for the main tournament the biggest favourites are FaZe and Natus Vincere for me. C9 are the champions of the last IEM tournament in Dallas however this time I don't expect them to maintain a streak.

Outsiders struggled a bit but managed to eliminate their opponent. The Rare Atom team played a good match. But they couldn't win.

I thought the Movistar Riders - Sprout match would be played on 3 maps. But the movistar riders team played a dominant game. Movistar riders played as if they had picked the inferno. when in fact it was sprout who picked the inferno. Poor play on their chosen map contributed to their defeat.

The final match is between outsiders and movistar riders. I think Outsiders will beat their opponent and win a ticket to the esl conference tournament.

Yes, that's right, S1mple used cheats in Cs 1.6, he was suspended, but he was given another chance. It is said that this chance was given to the good man now, but he was young at that time, but it should be seen as normal for him to attempt such things because of his ambition, and Valve did so, now he is by far the best fps player in the world. Once upon a time, there was a team called Optic when a player was caught cheating on the game, and I still remember this incident. I don't know what happened afterwards, like what kind of sanction was applied.

Here is the result for the League of Legends Champions Korea games today

Damwon Gaming VS Nongshim Redforce SCORE 2 - 0 - WIN

Just like what I thought the game would be Damwon Gaming really obliterated Nongshim Redforce and it was a one-sided game, Damwon Gaming every stat on game 1 was in their favor, from Gold they have 60.8k while NS Redforce only have 47.1k, on Kills Damwon got 6 while NS Redforce got 3, and Damwon have 11 towers while Redforce only got 2, winning game 1, while in-game 2 Damwon Gaming had done it again this time with 53.4k gold, 19 kills, 9 Towers, while NS Redforce only got 41.1k gold, 6 kills, and 1 tower, pretty much this kind of play is in a different league, and NS Redforce is not really the worth,


kt Rolster VS Hanwha Life Esports SCORE 2 - 0 - WIN

Just like Damwon, when I saw this fight I am sure that kt Rolster will dominate the game and I was not wrong, kt Rolster dominated every fabric, Game 1 was really solid Hanwha Life still kept the good fight but they were no match for Rolsters wrath, the game stat has said it all, game 1 kt Rolster has 60.9 gold, 14 Kills, and 9 towers, while Hanwha Life Esports, has 50.6k gold only, 6 kills, and 2 towers, while on Game 2 kt Rolster got 61.5k gold, 17 kills, and 11 towers, while Hanwha Life Esports has 61.5k gold, 17 kills and 11 towers, while Hanwha has 46.9k gold, 1 kill, and 1 tower, pretty much kt Rolster had ended up winning a one-sided game,

easy money, easy life. LGD have been horrendous lately, are they actually getting outplayed in every series or do they not care about the dpc points and qualifying to arlington Major? they went from stomping-every-series tier to dogshit tier so fast  quite suspicious if you ask me

they looked lost against FNC too
well, two lossess in a row, this 2 week break coming in clutch for G2, tbh

Sprout won the sprout-00nation match yesterday with a dominant game. The 00Nation team didn't play except for Dumau. Sprout eliminated their opponent with a good team play. Today we have Outsiders-Rare Atom and MR-Sprout. Outsiders have better players than their opponent. But these things are unpredictable, as we saw yesterday. Now outsiders are 1-0 ahead of their opponent. After the Outsiders match is over, the MR-Sprout match will start. I think it will be a more competitive match.

I feel you with that loss as this week of League is just filled with so many upsets. Yesterday i'm still annoyed with how G2 lost against Mad Lions.  

I also watched the first game and I thought Goonsquad will get away with the first game as they continue snowballing during the mid-game and OG couldn't find a good team fight. That roshan timing really turned the momentum around after they got the aegis they immediately went mid and initiated a team fight, forced some buybacks, and eventually destroyed their base.

He was always good but also too driven and done a few stupid things along the way.  s1mple has actually cheated and been detected in csgo but not by VAC only ESL wire client I think it was.  They dont ban forever luckily as ESL is a big name and none of the other providers duplicated the ban including Valve and nobody else detected him cheating that I read about.  So s1mple got an ESL ban played outside of that for a while, he also tried to evade the esl ban with other accounts and was rewarded with an extended ban term again purely for ESL.
  I think it was 2 or 3 years while he was quite young, he teamed up with Hiko while serving the ban in other LAN and then even before the ban expired Hiko had him drafted into Liquid on the other side of the world  When ban expired he could goto the major as normal, very lucky he didnt end up life banned.  Obviously we know the Liquid thing was volatile but it made a great story, I think s1mple has advanced to give more respect since those days.

  Rules changed recently, I believe under 18 even if VAC gets a players account banned they may later be let off with expiry, I dont have the detail but might be after 5 years.  I think iBP should have been let off after 5 years because one person on that team wasnt even 18 at the time and was dragged into the mess but Valve seems no upside to appearing to be a soft touch I guess.    Tons more money in CSGO now, it should be quite minor for any regular league I read the pacific region suffers problems but I miss most of those games.  
  I have personally played vs pro players who cheat (not recent), the demo was a joke but they were not detected by ESEA or valve etc.   A observer or those guys who manage or view players at LAN, they had to do it manually and then other org declined them.  Years later they did detect him (a few months past my having him in my game demo/matches) but he was already banished in effect, s1mple was super lucky

That game of Fnatic and SMG.

What a shame on Fnatic, it seems like a throw game for them and lookin' easy that they've beaten up by SMG.

Two games in a row, they've been completely dominated by them. I don't know if they're testing out and each game should be as important as it is because they're not yet secured for the Arlington major.

So here is the thing, I know most of us feels that the china region DPC is pretty sussy with PSG.LGD not owning the tournament but I definitely cant hold my urge to not bet on this huge match tomorrow.

PSG.LGD vs Xtreme Gaming

Taking classic outright winner for the game, I really hope PSG.LGD will choke on this game somehow. They've done that on the other game so yeah good chances that they might do it again tomorrow

When a person cheats, if he knows it is easy, he will continue to cheat. Woro2k is not playing a normal game. He plays very confidently in the game as if he knows his places. There are many videos of him cheating on Youtube. I also don't think his teammates are clean, especially jL and redstar. I think these players need to be investigated as soon as possible.

I really agree with you about it. When I learned about woro2k was a cheater but still playing in official tournaments like this one I was surprised a lot. I really don't know how they can give this kind of players another chance. If woro2k cheated in another game then it wouldn't be a problem but he did it in CS GO. For example as far as I know s1mple also cheated in CS 1.6 but he was lucky that CS GO was released and he got his second chance by this. He has a pure talent now though.

I will bet for League of Legends Champions Korea or LCK 2022 highlighted in green are my picks

Damwon Gaming VS Nongshim Redforce

DWG KIA or Damwon is pretty much a great team and has great stats and teams that they have brought down were kt Rolster, SANDBOX, and Brion Blade, and have perished a loss over T1 and Gen G. and their Rooster has consisted of Jang Ha-gwon (Nuguri) Kim Geon-bu (Canyon) Heo Su (ShowMaker) Seo Dae-Gil (deokdam) Kim Hyeong-Gyu (Kellin) and sub player Noh Tae-Yoon (Burdol) while team Redforce has    Kim Chang-dong (Canna) Lee Jin-hyeok (Dread) Gwak Bo-Seong (Bdd) Jang Yong-jun (ghost) Lee Sang-ho (Effort) and their Sub player Jeong Yoon-su (Peter) stake odds are 1.23 for Damwon while 3.85 for Redforce, pretty much for this game I think Damwon will show their true nature and will eat up Nongshim Redforce, this fight could go 1st win for Damwon then Redforce might retaliate then a game win for Damwon, I think this two teams can be very close, but again, Damwon Gaming will win this,

kt Rolster VS Hanwha Life Esports

For this particular game, I think these two teams are surely the worst of the bunch of the teams in LCK, now kt Rolster consisted of players Kim Kwang-hee (Rascal) Moon Woo-chan (Cuzz) Lee Ga-eul (Aria) Lee Dae-kwang (VicLa) Kim Ha-ram (Aiming) Kim Jeong-min (Life) and their sub/support Kim Min-seong (GIDEON) while Hanwha Life has Lee Dong-ju (DuDu) Kim Jang-gyeom (OnFleek) Kim Hong-jo (Karis) Lee Jae-hoon (SamD) Oh Hyo-seong (Vsta) and their Sub player Kim Jeong-hyeon (Willer) for now Hanwha Life Esports does have any wins yet, while kt Rolster is struggling to get a win, but for me, I think that can be chance, over this game could be very close, but for me kt Rolster is my pick,

In the Furia-00Nation match, 00Nation managed to win with the performance of dumau and latto. Another interesting result for me. I honestly thought furia would win. Because 00Nation started from scratch by transferring 3 players. I thought it would be an adjustment period, but it wasn't. Coldzera didn't even need to play.

The other match ended with another strange result. Nobody thought rare atom would beat mibr. While we had a comfortable win on the map they picked, it was a challenging match on the other map.

In the MIBR-Rare decider match in group B, Rare got an easy win with Inferno pick in the first map. A total of 60 rounds were played in the second map. Mibr couldn't find the chance to win that one, and in the end Rare won the second map and became the side to the playoffs. I was highly likely to win Mibr in the Overpass map, but the Rare team is obviously well prepared. 60 rounds was really too much, everyone wanted someone to win and the match to be over

and i'm off to a bad start today, wasted a free bet adding JDG, their 6-0 winning streak comes to an end after losing to one of the worst teams in the summer split 



I'll prolly go with a double in the LEC, Vitality + Mad Lions to win @1.9, not too shabby... later today, El Clasico, G2 v Fnatic 🔥🔥 rooting for caPs here
