Team Aster already won the 1st map and I think they started 2nd map perfectly and it should be a 2-0 in this B05 finals. The odds are 1.1 in this right moment for Aster so I don't think there is any chance of comeback and even if a comeback happens , it won't last long as Aster simply has skilled players with Monet leading the pack.  Grin

ESL One Malaysia China closed qualifier is now on the final round, the grand finals. The winner will get the slot into the ESL One Malaysia, the main tournament.

Remaining teams are LBZS and Team Aster.

Within the next few minutes, the grand finals is about to start and it's a best of 3 series. So, if you're looking for something to watch some actions for Dota 2, Aster is a good team but I haven't followed a lot with LBZS.

Rooting for Aster.

Dang only 1.85 in Rollbit but yeah this is pretty much the only decent game that I would bet and watch. The other game pretty much are kinda unpredictable because alot can happen in qualifiers tournament

This is already a good deal for an over 2.5 maps on this match because we know how close this match will gonna be based on there records unless GG will show again an upset match since they are always doing this in every tournament that they manage to have a good run on upper bracket. Over 2.5 is the safest bet with this match.

Well yeah its pretty much industry standard for over 2.5 maps in dota and Im happy as long as Im getting atleast 1.7 for this type of 'safe' bet. I was just quoting Trofo because he wrote that it was 1.95. Well its probably around 1.9 or something and it was a last minute bet for me so the odds could have been dropping because of it

Anyway, glad that the ticket won

This could be another over 2.5 maps tomorrow, GG vs BetBoom

Bells are ringing for G2 indeed. They have had really poor tournaments lately and they absolutely need some change now. If they are thinking of replacing JACKZ with someone then that player must be a more skilled one. They can surely find a better player than jks so I hope that they don't sign him. Otherwise not much thing would change for this team. Aleksib is also speculated to be changed soon but I wonder if they have some other IGL in their mind now. If they are able to find a better IGL then no problem.

CS GO: G2 are on the verge of replacing JACKZ with JKS.
Wtf? this is such a massive downgrade. Well, i guess from now on we'll see G2 in shitty ass tier 3 tournaments, Malta Vibes, Pinnacle cup, stuff like that  Grin

in other news, Spinx will join Vitality and replace misutaa. Rumours began last week that ENCE's best player was on Vitality's radar, but some recent reports are saying that it's a done deal and an official announcement will be made soon on Vitality's website. Now THAT is an upgrade 👀 Hopefully they'll bench botApex and find a proper IGL

Totally agreed. I don't think that jks is better than JACKZ now. Maybe he is younger than JACKZ (jks-26, JACKZ-30). However I don't like jks' performance as much as JACKZ. G2 would need a not only younger but also more talented player to replace JACKZ now. They need to carry their current level to a higher one not lower. They haven't been successful at all despite having a wonderful player like m0nesy.

I think it would be a good move for Vitality to get one of the strongest players at ENCE. They also need to improve their game and this transfer can be helpful for that.
G2 is a sinking ship. Literally a place to waste talented players. They got Niko and m0nesy, Aleksib's brain, Jacks and hunter are decent too but somehow, the team can not find a well deserved victory at major for that rooster.
btw, stewie is retired from CSGO and will be a content creator for Valorant. NA CSGO looks grim, most pro players in NA CSGO either retired or become Valorant pros.
G2 to sign HooXi on a pemanent basis report. I think the top five were completed together with hooxi after Jks transfer. I don't know what the real problem is in G2, but as you said, they spent all their talents and I can say that most of the money was blocked in this team. It seems to me that gamers often have problems with Niko. Stewie continues with twitch streams, less stress I guess better for him.

alright! had a rough couple of days, but it feels good to start winning some bets again
I had Gen G -1.5 as well and with all these clean wins coming from them it'll be interesting to see their second series against T1 this weekend.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a multi between Kwangdong and Damwon @1.80 since the handicaps are too risky to go for as Damwon's last two series went through all three maps while Kwangdong is on a 4 series losing streak.
taking the handicap for DWG is asking for troubles, learned that lesson the hard way a few weeks ago (btw, they just lot 0-2 to KT lol).
However I did take KDF to win live and that was a match really close match, that second game was the definition of 'how to throw a completely winnable game', thanks BRO!



Gen.G v T1 🔥 i'm thinking +2.5 maps or Gen.G. I know the H2h favors T1, but Gen.G are such a powerhouse, so hard to bet against them. T1 to win at 2 odds is something you don't see very often so i wouldn't be surprised to hear people betting their house on T1  Grin

oi, don't forget we're gonna have an absolute banger on LPL, RNG vs JDG 🔥🔥 i'll go with RNG

US is too strict on their visa issuance even if there's a valid reason or if Valve would like to still stay with the US hosting their majors. They should help and back up the qualifying teams and players and help them approve their visas.

Kinda understandable if we are few years back because back then everyone pretty much wants to move into US so they are pretty strict but honestly right now, why would someone wants to move in there and be poor. No offence to my fellow Americans mate, its just some harmless jokes  Tongue

Just some news about ana, he's going to play for RNG as stand-in carry for this major.

This young lads seems to be serious on getting back as a pro huh, he kept on standing in for different teams

GG over 2.5 @1,95, this one just screams over to me

Too many issues and stand-ins for this upcoming PGL Arlington major. I hope that Valve will just get out of the US when another major comes soon or after TI.

Good thing is that TI isn't going to be in the US because if it does, for sure there are too many issues and many qualified teams and players are incomplete.

Lots of solid DOTA games to bet on today. Here are my picks and I will be taking them as singles and in some multi tickets.
Nemiga +1.5 @1.88
Bet Boom -1.5 @1.9
GG over 2.5 @1,95, this one just screams over to me
LBZS +1.5 @3.4, this one is risky but I feel they can take one map against Aster and odds are really good

Thunder Awaken beat Beastcoast in a best of 5 by the score of 3-1 in the ESL One Malaysia 2022 South America: Closed Qualifier. Beastcoast took game 1 but Thunder Awaken just flipped their switches and pretty much beat Beastcoast in under 25 mins in each of the next 3 games(except one, which went 26mins). Thunder Awaken are actually looking like a very solid team and I cant wait to see them compete against other regions in ESL One Malaysia. The Chinese Closed qualifiers up next.

Thunder is pretty much on a higher tier than Beastcoast recently, although bc is still a great game dominator from the SA region. It's just that most of the time they fall off mid-game and they can't take a good grasp of their lead resulting into downfall. :/

As for the Chinese qualifiers, pretty sure it will be Aster that will get that spot considering that most of the teams in their bracket are div 2/div 3 teams with not enough experience fighting against tier 1/2 teams.

US always giving problems to some countries, not gonna say it is without reason but I somehow always expect exemptions in situations like this and then get disappointed when I realize that sports competitors have to go trough similar procedure as everyone else. Shouldn't there be some extremely temporary visa just for the competition length that participants could acquire in an easier manner?
I used to think about exemptions too instead of the common 30-day visa if in case they don't like the player. DOTA 2 majors are big and popular events and it's a shame US authorities are making it difficult for its participants to attend. I am not sure if Valve is also helping players having visa issues but I do hope they communicate with host nations when it comes to issuing visas.

Fnatic- Three of their players failed to get their approvals from the US embassy to acquire their traveling visas.

Imagine both Topson and Ana standin in for this team. There's a possibility of it happening though Roll Eyes or probably they'll just get pos 1, 2 and 5 of TSM to participate as part of their team
I'm curious what it looks like. But that would be great. This should be a good opportunity for Ana, Topson, and Fnatic.

Entity- Pure also failed to get a US visa. But the team already has Timado from TSM as its substitute.

Actually Saberlight-, source Here
Oh! Saberlight a pos 3 will be playing pos 1 then for Entity. Or maybe someone from Entity will play pos 1 in order for Saberlight to stay at pos 3.

A new development in the g2 team, jks has joined the team. I made a post about Hunter in the past days, G2 had released the Hunter. A new transfer was expected. There were a lot of discussions about who will be the new transfer, names such as Spinx and Yekindar were being talked about. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the Jks transfer. Jks is a type of player that I like, it may be the right decision for G2.

what also feels good is seeing Nongshim Red Force finally putting an end to their 8 game losing streak

They haven't been successful at all despite having a wonderful player like m0nesy.
rest of the team has been underpeforming, and when they're actually playing good (more like relying on m0nesy flicks or Niko clutches), they choke in the big stages,, they need to improve team cohesiveness, otherwise, they'll keep relying on their big stars only to fall short when it matters

Both series ended up going through all three maps, the series between T1 and KT was kind of expected as T1 dropped maps in the last couple of series against weaker teams like Brion and Kwangdong, they're inconsistent when it comes to sweeping teams unlike Damwon and Gen G. When I saw the odds on the over 2.5 hovering around 2.49 I had to take it and good thing T1 didn't go ham.

Hanwha Life taking at least a map against Damwon was unexpected and that map loss was like a wake up call for them as they proceed to cleanly win the next two games.


Well, I was wrong with my intuition that T1 will not drop a map, but I was really hesitant in doing it, but it did, but as expected they still win the match, but well losing on Correct Map Score is surely a risk, but still, I surely made a decent win not quite but OK for me, I think I will surely get to know more on the Tencent League of Legends Pro League LPL and will be busting a bet once I am ready,

Well, I really never expected both teams to have their opponent score a map but for me it is OK and it is surely a risk,



Here is the result of my picks on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

T1 VS kt Rolster MAP 2 - 1 - WIN

Damwon Gaming VS Hanwha Life Esports MAP 2 - 1 - WIN

Never really expected kt Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports to make a Map score, but as expected for T1 for dropping 1 map I was sure hesitant in giving Rolster a score but I should have put 1, but it's still OK T1 and Damwon still get their respected win and pretty much another lost for Hanwha they should rethink to change players because it is not really working for them,
