Oh shit, I thought that Ninjaboogie leave and was not kicked when I see the news. This is very unfair and unprofessional. They should at least consider to give him a vacation and not kicked him as a respect for his lose. Team SMG sucks and I hope players will abandon this team.

Very unfair, I saw this tweet of his and it's legit. Poor SMG, now we've seen the reason why they're changing their roster from time to time. They don't consider such player that has a heart to play for them and they'll just kick and can't be with him because he's currently experiencing a real problem, a heartache. That expose' will reduce their fans if ever they still have since they've got no major achievements since when they've started competing.
Going with the ESL major, OG is doing it and just did a sweep to GG and Thunder Awaken. 3 teams remaining.

Spirit only dropped one map in their last 8 series in the PGL Major prior to the semifinals. As soon as i place my first bet on Spirit, they get 2-0'd 🤡

Glad I didn't placed my bets on Spirit but was about to.. so close. Spirit did well throughout the tournament but Faze did much better in Spirit. Some of the players- Patsi, S1ren and even degster were having tough time handling Faze clan so I think if they had a good day then possible that we would have seen a Spirit win or maybe a 3 map game at least.

Now time to turn the heads onto the next semis between Navi and Ence. My money on Navi now. Go Navi !!

the only team that looks dominant is Tundra, but i could see TSM putting up a good fight against them today, +1.5 would've been my pick

The current score is 1 : 1 so yeah nice pick though. I think both of these teams are pretty dominant and if either one of them lose, I think they will both will play once again on the grand final. Unless of course if OG decided to turn into coin flip mode then smash through the grand final through the lower bracket, anything could have happened with OG though

never expected TSM to be the dark horse of this major. I thought BetBoom were going to be the big underdog but nope, this tournament is full of surprises
Tundra vs OG/GG... i'd like to see Gaimin Gladiators playing against Tundra, we all know what happened to OG the last time they faced off Tundra Roll Eyes

GG v OG in one stream and Navi v ENCE in another stream. Big night ahead of us, folks (:

That was unexpected for Tundra to be defeated by TSM which we know that they are dominating the Upper bracket but it was stopped recently.So they dropped in LB and potentially

facing up the winner in between GG and OG.Sadly i had lost my bet on Tundra which i had trusted them up to beat every team on the top. Cheesy

Currently watching OG and GG which my bet is on OG which are the LB and comeback kings even though on a new roster.

OG are coin flip tbh

same old, same old... from almost getting eliminated yesterday against Fnatic to a devastating 2-0 stomp today

Exactly coin flip team so yeah decided to go straight with OG winning the next game. I think its much better rather than taking over or under in case of OG

Going for another over 2.5 since I doubt Thunder Awaken would lose 2-0 against OG who nearly lost against Fnatic yesterday.

Also, did you guys heard the news about Team SMG kicking Ninjaboogie, the team thought losing his parents would affect his performance so they kicked him. Whoever made that decision should receive karma since there are better ways to handle the situation, like putting him at inactive status similar to what the other teams have been doing when one of their players isn't at their best.

https://twitter.com/ninjaboogie/status/1527572406444797952

Typically teams that fall from Upper Bracket experience a loss of self-confidence when they are fighting in Lower Bracket. Maybe or maybe not that Thunder Awaken will show a comeback match on their Lower Bracket run. I know OG is very good when it comes to Lower Bracket matches but I agree with you that having a +2.5 is a good choice because both team can choke anytime on one of their games.

Oh shit, I thought that Ninjaboogie leave and was not kicked when I see the news. This is very unfair and unprofessional. They should at least consider to give him a vacation and not kicked him as a respect for his lose. Team SMG sucks and I hope players will abandon this team.

In the start of OG they make a lot of mistakes but again most of their drafts is for mid game and late game that's why they always conquer other enemy who cant face in the high ground also the ceb wind ranger always works for sure the pub game of the players now suffering again with this picking imagine the comeback of OG against Fnatic because of their lure from the cores and proper execution of skills.

anyway, RNG - T1 in MSI is live, i'm prolly the only one here watching it Cheesy

15 minutes in and as expected, it's a banger 🔥 btw, really surprising to see both teams losing to G2 yesterday, eh?

later on, i have +1.5 Spirit against Faze in PGL major... i've been missing out on good profits from the overperformers TS, let's see if they can keep up that great form in the semifinals. ENCE - Navi is 50/50 imho so i'd rather skip that one

I am on over 2.5 here as well. Hopefully we will have to clean maps for each team and then carnage in map 3

If that what you guys have written about ninjaboogie is true than Team SMG are really shitty org and they don't deserve the players. If a member of your team has personal problems you stand behind them and do everything possible to get him back on track as soon as possible. Kicking somebody out because their parents died is probably more than enough for that player to sue them and get a nice chunk of money. It would be in civilized countries and if players have contracts. Not sure how it works in teams like SMG.

Nigma has already removed ILTW so those rumors about Sumail going to Nigma is possible. Well, if ever Sumail goes freelance, there will surely be a lot of teams that want to take him. I've remembered before when matumbaman was out of Secret, a chinese team wants to take him and willing to cover all the expenses even for translation. For topson, I've heard that he's willing to go pro again and the first team that would ever get him would be OG but related to contracts, are they going to kick bzm for him again? And to this rumor about crytallis, I've seen that guy play before and a good experiment would probably test out if he fits Team Secret's play style.

ILTW is surely not performing well on most of the Nigma matches but their main problem is their drafts same as the EG. Kuroky draft is still the same and didn't improve as time passes by while the new meta keeps changing. They are not doing creative drafts but rather use only their traditional style and comforted hero. Even if Sumail replaces ILTW on Pos1. I think the result will still be the same if they will be out drafted over and over. Only tier 2 teams are only they capable to beat considering their current status.

I'm just wondering why Miracle still sticking to this team while he has a top tier skill for his position.

Maybe it's actually the veteran got the problem and just as what they're saying, it's Kuro that should be replaced. Like what notail did, he turned into a coach and let the younger talents play for their team. Kuro should just do the same and let a new breed of talents wave their flag.
Sumail don't have a home now and he's like turning away from his main region which is the NA. I think he should just team up with his brother since he's a pos 1 player and sumail's pos 2.

Its likely that he will go there but honestly he wont fit in there unless Nigma decided to change how they play. Nigma demonstrated that in few of their recent games that they need a midlaner that would go and gank without having to farm that much so it doesnt fit how Sumail play. Honestly Topson would fit in there though but I doubt he will ever join Nigma

As for Secret's next carry, there is a huge rumour that it will Crystallis from Entity Gaming https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Crystallis

Riding on the over 2.5 maps as well given their 1-1 result during their first meeting in the group stage. The odds are leaning a bit on the under since Beastcoast 2-0'd Team Spirit but I hope we'd get a close series.

Same here and finally we had a nice day of DOTA with predictable results. Both my over 2.5 bets passed and I had them on several tickets and as singles.
Posting just one of them, multi with highest total odds to brag a little since I am not very good with hitting odds above 5 usually.

Gonna try same strategy tomorrow with over 2.5 maps on TP-OG for sure. Still thinking about Tundra game since they look like a slam dunk to take this tournament.

Great ticket you have there. After the group stages, I already avoided picking for match winner on these games. Most teams playing on the main stage are highly unpredictable, and if there's anything that is still relatively safer to bet on, it is the over/under on kills and over/under on maps. For singles, sometimes I do first to 10 kills, especially on game 2 because teams may have already gauged the strategy of their opponent, and for that reason they can definitely make some good runs if everything the team has planned goes accordingly.

I'm excited about beastcoast vs GG honestly. Time for the guys at SA to prove that they can be considered a threat for other teams that are not doing their research.

Seems like Faze or Navi for the CSGO major win. Probably Navi should take it but todays games I just went with favorites and luckily someone corrected me on thinking Furia could take Spirit at all was a 2-0. I did put on a small multi hedge for the underdogs but dont guess on it, I think 3 maps is probably best like this current Flame vs ENCE neither team is doing badly with an equal and opposite threat by either side.

That's what will happen if they don't secure any slot for these majors. Also, I've seen a post from iceiceice that said "lft" and we know what that means.

LOOKING FOR TEAM.

What team could possibly be looking for a good offlaner for iceiceice? Maybe Sumail and ice will be on the same team. The post about sumail going to Nigma is still unofficial.

I guess they might change some rooster at the same time because really team secret isn't the team secret before like conquering the game its feel sad that they say good bye to matumbaman and we know that its really hard to team secret get for their The international Champ we know that Puppy is the player who make a face in the TI and of course they need to earn a good points to be part of it again. ILTW is open too i guess they will grab a chance and try this man and I saw the Tweet of iceiceice told "left" seems to be funny.

Sumail would probably return to NA for his TI run, but that option will still be hard for him considering that the region is slowly becoming hot with the amount of talents TSM.FTX has and beastcoast starting to understand the meta. He still has some options in Europe and for sure a lot of teams and organizations would still want the king in their roster for TI.

Nigma would be a possible pickup but I'd rather let them put Kuroky on the bench and scout for another 5 position and add Sumail for the 1/2 with Miracle.
