Nah they are confirmed to be on the playoff rounds for sure, Mind Games was disqualified because some of the players are not arriving on the venue due to the visa issue. That means everyone that is one group B is going to advance to the next stage.

This sucks. Mind Games are performing really good somehow before the start of this major then this happens. Goes to show that traveling is still a pretty hard opponent when it comes to live events such as this, despite being prepared for the said event.

Anyway, I lost 3 of my bets lol. Seems to be losing my grip so I'll just skip the remaining games for tonight lol.

Lost 4, and I can't accept that OG loss lol. I already knew that Ceb will be a dead weight as pos 5 but I still magically believe that they can somehow post a solid performance despite lacking a proper support. They should have placed Johan in there and Ceb as coach and we can see a very promising OG but oh well Grin

Finally EG got there first victory on this ESL One major tournament with Storm Spirit in there line-up. I think they just want to prove that they can win Storm spirit despite how many bash they receive for using this here. EG is in better shape on Day2 and maybe they will finally change there draft this time around. JerAxmight be trolling Bulba to to keep SP draft until they win. Game 2 is on underway and its good to pick +0.5 for Boom with this match.

LOL Congratulations to them but they've lost their 2nd game against Boom. That still puts them at the bottom of Group A. And there's another team that's out of the tournament that has guaranteed their upcoming opponents a win. That's the team of Mind games, honestly, I'm excited to see them play with other teams on this group stage but they didn't make it, they also have the same issue as the Chinese teams about their visa.

Anyone notice how bad EG right now. They are the only team who lose back to back on the opening day of group stage. They still picking storm spirit even though it's not working anymore. They only didn’t get it on game 2 against T1 when it was banned. I think there is really something wrong on there draft and the comment of the public about it since last year is now making me think that's right after all. Bulba gaming.

They were 0-4.

Their coach keeps on pushing storm spirit. It's not the first time that I've seen them too pushy with storm spirit, I think it's also a request of Abed to keep on playing with SS because it is his favorite hero.

Right now, I'm watching the 2nd game of T1(1) vs. OG (0).

Next to this game is T1 vs BC and then Boom vs EG.

As usual with the pick of bulba storm spirit for abed most of the tournament for EG has the Abed pick of storm even though there's a counter currently the update is the T1 got the 2-0 for the EG because they have a bad draft at the same time Viper offlane can easily rekt the Clock, Ta and the Phoenix and we know the LS gabbi can free farm also the OG offlane does not have a good play lvl 8 with no Arena. Currently watching with the EG and Boom I go for the EG 2-0 here.

anyhow, i thought the games yesterday were a bit too random for my tates (EG, Team Spirit losing to GG, Boom winless) so i skipped today's matches and went with the PGL Major but i didn't know all these games were scheduled for tomorrow Roll Eyes

I'm avoiding the three-way markets and just go with the handicaps, I got T1 +1.5 @1.58 vs OG, both teams starting out strong and both teams could easily grab a map so I went with the handicap and I don't have to sweat out the second game in case T1 wins the first map.

Yup, I kind of want to take Boom esports as they'll be facing EG later today but I might just live bet and avoid the handicap.

+0.5 on this tournament is indeed a blessings, I got my first bet win with BB Team against Boom. I was scared when I watch the game so I didn't continue watching the game 2. I’m just surprised that there’s a profit enter to my duelbits account and just check the game result. Honestly, I really feel the Boom can 2:0 BB Team due to the huge lead on game 1. It's OG vs Boom now. I guess I will go for another +0.5 for OG.

Congratulations on this back 2 back win for betting against boom with +0.5. I don't know what exactly is the reason why Boom keeps losing on game 2 but they seems dominating there opponents during game 1. Maybe they are being over confident when they are getting 1 win which is the reason for there lousy gamed on game 2. It's really scary to bet on a 1x2 bet type when it comes to group stage since every team is still adjusting to there picks and strategy.

Abed keeping EG in the game

I cant actually believe that EG is the only team that lost twice for today from all those teams that played twice as well today. I was kinda expecting SA region to be the underdog for the Major but NA region seems to be falling apart there with EG lost twice and TSM that had a draw and a lost against Fnatic. Well its pretty interesting for the 1st day and most of the teams are showing absolute dominance so its should be easier to bet for the 2nd day

Going for 3 single bet for tomorrow, hope this pays off

Skem seems to have a problem with his visa and the Stockholm majors is about to come. Well, this didn't happened for the first time and he's likely to be replaced by their coach, Mushi. If ever this won't be solved and he can't get in on time.
Whilst for OG, misha also have the same problem so Ceb is in as position 5 while Notail is going to be their coach on the said major.

Unexpected I saw too on their page which is Ceb is coming back to their team but of course its hit different to the current team if they can make with the OG number one offlaner and coach, still OG is OG we can count them in. Currently I'm waiting for the fun game between Kuku, Carl, and Gabbi against their friend Abed. T1 vs EG.

It's okay because Misha has got problems with his VISA. What a run for the first day of the major, OG did well. Speaking of T1, I've watched their match against EG. EG lost all of their games on the first day and it's funny because LuLBa always gets to pick those hard picks for his players.
It doesn't have to be that unorthodox of picks and he can keep it simple as he can just like T1. On the 2nd match against T1, they were on the lead but a simple mistake turned it all when they were about to break the 3rd tower.

It seems to me that the best option is to wait for the playoff stage and place bets there, since after the group stage the form of the teams will already be clear and the randomness of the results in the playoff stage is still much less.

Yep, i haven't placed a bet since G2's first game against EG, right now matches are either too one-sided or have no value, some teams are just warming up. Looking forward to the next round, that's when this tournament actually begins, G2 v T1 and RNG v T1 🔥🔥

Yes, the first stage is similar to show matches, although the situation in group B is very interesting and only tomorrow we will see the final distribution of teams. By the way, such a tournament formula when the strongest teams of the groups do not get into the playoffs but into the round-robin tournament for the strongest is very interesting, as it allows you to watch a larger number of different pairs. An interesting solution and I like it, although it has some disadvantages.

OG looking a bit shaky in game 2 against BC. EG putting up a good fight against Tundra, although, Nightfall keeps getting caught, he's trolling LOL

and Abed keeping EG in the game with a massive aegis steal, what a game!!

Today's the last round for the Challenger's stage and for some reason I like BNE @1.81 against MIBR.

i watched some bits of their game versus ENCE and it wasn't pretty. This has over 2.5 written all over it tho. I wonder how many viewers this game will have, BR teams keep pushing 200k+ in viewership in Gaules' stream, like 3x more than the main stream. This match one could easily reach 400k given how important it is, same with Imperial, BR fans are loyal Cheesy

In addition to the news about the stand-ins, TSM will be playing with Quinn at the major i'm not sure which role he'll be filling in though since nothing was announced from the side of TSM.

https://twitter.com/Quincy_Crew/status/1524109573183123457

That's nice to hear if he's able to make it on time. This is a solid Boom Esports then if he's able to make it.

I hope Boom can make better on Majors. They choke on the recent qualifiers against Fnatic and they always showing this symptoms whenever they are feeling overconfident or Jackky don't trust his team mates and scared on team fights. Fnatic has a better run against them on qualifiers but still Boom has the capacity to rival international since they already proved themselves on Gamers Galaxy tournament. But compared with Fnatic, I will still choose Boom because Fnatic main weakness is Jabs decision making.

Today's the last round for the Challenger's stage and for some reason I like BNE @1.81 against MIBR. It's the first time these two teams will meet and they are performing somewhat similar, on paper MIBR is the better team based on the teams they faced and results but I prefer BNE since they usually clutch up when the chances are this close. BOL on your guys dota picks i'm also leaning on a bunch of draws but i'll just sit back and watch the dota major for now.

As for his position, based on liquipedia then he'll play for the mid lane/position 2. And bryle, who's the usual mid for this team will adjust for position 3/off lane. But yeah, let's still see how they're going to adjust.

didn't expect the PGL major to go almost unnoticed on this thread but here we are,, no matter, will keep giving free tips, i'm 3/3 wins so far and add another one to the list cos i forgot to post this bad boy earlier today

but tomorrow is all about ESL One Stockholm. ugh, the amount of games we'll have in Group Stage feels a bit overwhelming, 12 games per day, ffs man! whatever, i'm going one ticket per match block (each block consists of 3 matches, so i'll pick one game). singles:

EG v Tundra draw
beastcoast v BB draw
Fnatic v TS Team Spirit win
Thunder Awaken v Mind Games TA win
