Damn, what a journey from OG.

It should have been Nigma that have that tag for "upper bracket are for?". Coming form the lower bracket, they've just made it to the top against all odds.

Congratulations OG!

Notail and Ceb really rocks but I think even it is misha, the same outcome would have come.

Nigma didn't complete there run during the TI while OG flawlessly execute it properly and made a reverse sweep victory to the same team that put them in the lower bracket. I feel that Timado and Bryle are already pressured and can't play properly on game 4 which makes the game for OG easily seal there Majors Championship. Saberlight choked too after giving an impressive performance on game 1. ATF is so good on this tournament, OG can't do this impossible run if ATF didn't improve from his old toxic game. He is now consistent and playing like the old Topson during there prime. Watching the game is so good even if it's already 3:00am in my country.  Cheesy
Yeah, ATF is the man.

He's consistent but if you remember, he's being flamed on their game with Fnatic through tipping because he's very quick tempered and can lose focus if he's being tipped.

That's the mental game that Fnatic did but still they've lost. This new roster of OG got the guts and showed that there is something that everyone has to wait for with the upcoming TI on Singapore.
New Gen OG is something but of course it is because  Notail is the coach and a former member ceb do really give out big impact or factor in overall but of course these kiddos could really make a good damn fight.

As for Ammar then this guy is good on versatile position and situational items just like on what he had done on DK with Aether lens and Forcestaff against TSM in finals
I agree that he's really that impulsive but for sure he would really get used to it.

looking at the table it seems like Team Secret would have to win literally everything from now on to qualify to TI, right?

Pretty much and there will be another DPC to rack up points as well as another Major unless Valve decided to throw in DPC regional final for the last event before TI. Also there will be regional qualifier if they fucked things up but yeah lot of chances for redemption, so much better compared to Nigma that will only be able to participate the next TI through regional qualifier  Roll Eyes

I included the whole top 30 because Team Secret and Vici Gaming are both tied at bottom 28th. And these teams are still very capable of winning their regional tournaments and the upcoming last major.

Talking about Team Secret, they've signed a new player: Crystallis https://twitter.com/teamsecret/status/1528737687905214466

Tomorrow is the last day of the group stage and on the 27th the first semi-final.
it's gonna be a big day for G2. Losing to PSG today put them in an awkward spot because now they have to beat Buffalo and EG or they risk elimination if PSG wins their two games

but the big match will be T1 - RNG... I'm going with RNG to win. T1 don't look convincing, they looked so lost against RNG the other day, lost to EG today... RNG have qualified to semifinals, but they're totally gonna take the T1 mtch seriously as if it were a grand final, typical CN v KR rivalry

From today's games in LOL, the game RNG - SGB turned out to be very interesting (and at the same time template according to the scenario). RNG played rather poorly and the opponent got a big advantage (which a stronger team would not have missed), but in just a few moves the game was turned upside down and the favorite still won. I don’t know how the live odds changed, but I think you could make a lot of arbitrage bets.

What the heck happened yesterday? NaVi was the clear favourite to win the PGL Major, how could they lose 2-0 against FaZe? They played so well in the tournament, I really thought they would make it happen. Inferno was Faze's pick and going to overtime was alright, but then losing 16-19 was already really bad by NaVi. To be honest it seemed that the game FaZe vs Spirit in the semi finals seemed much closer than the finals yesterday. Maybe losing the first map is demoralising, as professionals I would expect them to recover from that. Nuke as the second map was NaVi's pick, losing here 16-10 should never had happened. It would be nicer to have a best of 5 game for the finals next time, like this the games are over too fast. Still congratulations to FaZe, especially for robz he is a cool guy and deserves the win. Now I need to sell some skins to try and recover my losses.

OG victory should be more than enough to secure a TI invite. Here is the updated DPC rankings. I included the whole top 30 because Team Secret and Vici Gaming are both tied at bottom 28th. And these teams are still very capable of winning their regional tournaments and the upcoming last major.



All teams that reached 1,000 points are already highly expected to join TI. And only yesterday did I knew that the next TI will be held in Singapore. If there's a crypto bullrun before that date, i'll come. Cheesy

OG's momentum during the lower bracket was impressive I knew they'd go deep but not all the way through the grand finals and win the tournament. With that major win they've probably earned enough DPC points and sealed their TI invite together with PSG LGD.

Then on the CSGO side Faze and karrigan finally won their first major and took down Navi 2-0 with the first map going into overtime.

Milked OG twice through winner bet yesterday and now decided to go against them by betting on TSM

...

I personally think TSM should be able to win probably with a close game hence taking TSM as the winner, aside from that the odds for TSM to win is much better than taking OG to win. Anyway, what a great weekend with lots of game to watch. EPL last round as well as the grand final for the Major.

TSM is good no doubt but OG is outplaying them on crucial game. The game 3 is very intense especially on how ATF item build is out of this world. Hahaha. This is the first for an offlane DK to build Aether Lens just to increase his cast range of dragon tail plus his force staff and aeon disc for defensive item.

They all in on Invoker and TA and it really payoff despite TSM early advantage. Just oneclash and set of buy back end the very close game. Game 4 is upcoming and Saberlight might be punished on his thrash talk tweet.  Cheesy
You shouldn't have stopped on milking OG yet they had taken Game 4 and the champ of this Major.Why they haven't banned that WR again of ceb?

I can't believe on the current roster of OG with having that old 2x ti champ notail and stand in Ceb which we know that are former members of the team and with some mix of young blood specially Amar which this guy impress me the most.

Faze are favorites to win the CS major which is slightly surprising.  I think Navi fans dumped their bets after not the best performance in this first map.   I put down Navi and also 3 maps to occur.   Navi can win a map in this series and I can cash out at that point if I really feel like it.
   Not the best bet if its true Faze have Nuke locked down as casters are saying but Im watching the game anyway and this map is Navi pick

The finals for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 are coming up tonight. Yesterday semi final games where nice to watch, especially FaZe vs Spirit was a pretty close game, it could have went either way.  As for NaVi, they were the favourites from the start of the tournament, everybody expected them to reach the finals. They played very solid against ENCE and gave them no real chance to win. Every round they made a mistake the regrouped the next one and took it back. The payout for ENCE for winning the tournament where very decent, but now it's up to NaVi to take it down. Not sure if the finals will be go into overtime. During the ESL Pro League last month FaZe actually managed to win 2-0 against NaVi. So far NaVi looked very convincing during all the games. I will stick with NaVi for tonight even if the payout is only at 1.63 right now.

From the semi-finals last night. I watched the Navi vs Ence game. It was an easy transition to the final for Navi, but he couldn't resist much. They were very comfortable, especially on the dust2 map. Even though the rate is low in the grand final match today, I will still be on the Navi side. By the way, both teams are on fire when I look at their last matches. Since a long time, both teams have not lost a match, it will be very exciting.

I really really really hate OG in Dota 2 but I like NoTail and I will always respect that dude for simply not giving up on that org and keep signing new talents that could move the OG legacy further but still ...I hate them.
I like them, that Ammar guy is incredible on his pool of heroes. What he does on them looks so much better then what everyone else gets on them in this patch.
OG screwed my over 2.5 yesterday but they gave it back to me today on ML. There were good odds around 2.1 and after seeing them play yesterday I expected something like 1.6.

Great games today on LOL.
RNG totally dominated the game against G2 today, which surprised me. It is a pity that this is BO1 and it is not possible to understand the real strength of the teams. Looking forward to the playoffs. It looks like these teams will be in the knockout games: RNG, G2, SKT1 and EG. One of the semi-finals will be as competitive as possible.

Notail is the heart and soul of OG and that also keeps me being a fan. The crowd keep cheering OG.

Tundra was soundly beaten by OG. It didn't even reached game 3. First game OG won in just 35 minutes. The second map was more of a disaster to Tundra as they were taken down in only 27 minutes. OG started this playoffs in the lower bracket but is now in a 7-game winning streak. All of a sudden they are now the favorite to win this major.

I bet on OG 1.49 to win this finals.

I was also delight to see TSM smacking them in group stages and send them back to lower bracket but right now they are playing against Tundra and who wins , will face TSM in the grand finals of Bo5. My prediction ? Tundra will 2-1 on OG and then TSM will 2-1 on Tundra.
