Watching the game between OG and Secret is exhilarating especially the map3 of the games which OG already had a huge lead while they can't close the game because nisha ember spirit keeps killing the backline of OG leaving Terror Blade alone in the clash without any support. The last clash which Sumail purchase a refresher orb to have a good setup with double chrono sphere seal the game. There's a lot of misplay with ATF setup and they can't even give TB a perfect setup to free hit the enemy. Cheesy

Yeah, they did well at the very early game of map 3 although Team Secret has given them also some fair fights and clashes so they're close. IMO, the one that stood out in the early game is ATF. The sand king he played was actually good and I'm a fan of him.

Nisha was really good at killing those backlines as they can target and kill them easily. That was a good strat for them when it seems that OG is winning the game, still GG.

I won the 9x long shot multi bet mostly on Movistar riders but now they are losing to astronauts who I have no idea about. I look at the roster and its got ptr, old school player alongside tarik from way back and also ex-bad news bears who had a few good results. So each team has 1 map and apparently movistar could lose to this unknown team after doing so well, you cant make up stuff like this Cheesy

3 maps anyhow, movi really shouldnt be losing but usa too random

I'll watch it later since I also have a bet on Gen G @1.50

good call
My DK +1.5 @1.6 hit as well. That one was a completely biased ticket since i'm a bit of a DK fanboy, but it was good value regardless, they never go down without a fight as seen in their past series against Gen.G.
Can't wait for the grand final, gotta keep an eye for the markets opening very soon to place the tickets asap before volume moves all the lines and we're left with T1 3-0 at 1.10 odds Wink

oh, and more LPL action tomorrow, TES vs BLG. Top Esports are looking solid lately, 9W-1L in the last 10 series, moneyline isn't too shabby but i prefer the -1.5 handicap

I agree that late game fight during the third map was crazy, even Bzm using the refresher just to catch Sumail with the Lasso but Secret is just way too good at kiting and peeling the TB whenever there's a huge fight about to blow up they always go for the squishy targets and leave TB all alone. I think at the end, they're just having a hard time creating a front line setup for TB since ATF and Bzm's hero isn't set up for it as the game goes longer Team Secret has a much easier team fight execution and crowd control when it comes to team composition.

But he's just too hot to engage on fights wherein a trade isn't possible, or he can't even win the fight.

he was bottom fragging yesterday. Today he's carrying the whole team on his back but still wasn't enough in map 1 vs Riders... so irregular

He's still inconsistent. He has his moments of glory but most of the time he's dead weight. Tizian and tabsen must have been thinking a lot about this guy's performance.

For Secret and OG @ DPC, OG seems to be doing pretty well. Secret managed to take a map but it's more likely that OG closes this series in their favor. Secret babysitting Sumail a lot and playing around him all the time costs them some space issues that makes it hard for their two other cores to farm. The series isn't over yet, but I think OG already has a good read of what Secret is trying to do, and can abuse that to their own advantage draft wise and strategy wise.

Update: meh, ATF and Bzm doing some weird shit around the map cost them the game. Oh well, another $20 down the drain Grin

anyone watching Gen.G v DK tomorrow?

I'll watch it later since I also have a bet on Gen G @1.50, expecting this series to be closely similar to their last two series during the split then Gen G should have the edge to come out on top once more.

The over 3.5 would be a good option as well since this is unlikely gonna go 3-0 for either team and Damwon is still decent enough to grab a map as long as they have a good draft going.

The over 2.5 seems pretty juicy as well knowing all of their series ended up in all three maps but all of BIG's series went under though. I still think it'll likely end up going to all three maps but I prefer taking Movistar since BIG looked underwhelming so far.

GL! we'll probably go to the decider. Movistar are pretty bad in vtg and it's one of BIG best maps, although, game's jsut started and Riders are 5-0 lol ffs BIG

14 rounds either team first map, seems like the 3 maps outcome is a good choice. Good side bet hedge type thing worth taking for me :p

Yea this is going to OT as Big rush around with simple SMG vs rifles and do just fine. Not going to be an easy win if that keeps happening.

anyway, another loss for BIG, 0-2 vs Gambit... they blew a 13-5 lead in Ancient, classic BIG,, that's why they're banned from my bet slips Grin

I'm starting to avoid BIG too on my betslips. They obviously have the advantage, economy wise and strategy wise, but their mid round calls just doesn't help them convert their advantage to easy wins. Not that I'm downplaying former Gambit in any way but most pro teams (even tier 2 teams) won't lose that big of a lead quite easily in such a manner that BIG lost it.

Tabsen must come to his senses and push for better mid-round calls. His game performance is always good as an entry fragger/rifler, but not so much as an IGL.

I had 2:0 for Players (Gambit) so maybe I am a bit biased but that map was Ancient and that is very CT sided map. Lot of teams get 10+ wins on CT side and both teams did that today. I actually hate maps like that since it usually goes against my bets. Good thing train is out of the picture

Ancient and train would be too much.

I don't think that's the only reason why BIG lost. You can see that Faven is obviously impatient on some key engagements that could have given them a man advantage for the round. If he did have some discipline on some rounds in Vertigo where they had the economic advantage, they would have carried that lead until the next half. But he's just too hot to engage on fights wherein a trade isn't possible, or he can't even win the fight.

A quick update with PUBG PCS6 will begin on April 15th this coming week! The match would begin with America vs. APAC (which includes SEA and Oceania) and Asia vs. Europe in the following two weeks. I'm not sure how they shuffled it, but this kind of new rotation, as opposed to the previous one where APAC was pitted against Europe, where the majority of the strong contenders are located, would make it difficult to climb up into the high ladder tree on that. I'm excited about this because there are new teams participating, as well as some members of the European team who are not participating.

I'm liking Movistar Riders to take down BIG, I feel like they only need one win here to secure the top spot as they already beat all of the other teams that could contest them if a tiebreaker situation comes.

I watched that game, I cant believe BIG couldnt close it out but I should know better I've seen some classic chokes in CS over the years. I wasnt sure they'd win the series but not getting just 3 more rounds is tragic as hell, I was going to close my bet out live odds probably dam. I thought it was Gambit who were slipping for whatever reason jeez

Anyway nice clip from Liquid Naf where he uses the defusing CT to body block pistol shots and proceed to kill both CT players in front of him. He has always been an exceptional player in interesting ways, good to see he is still up there: https://clips.twitch.tv/EnchantingLazySandwichCoolCat-wv-B-Atc9BpFvxC1

I got 9x odds on a multi and Im not even sure its super risky. Probably cant win as it requires upsets but I thought it possible and nice as hell if it did so just for fun had to do it Cheesy

#
Movi win next 2 games because I liked how they played the other day and then just Liquid over Astro and Players over Godsent.

Also for those betting on BetRadar, it's probably best to skip the Gambit matches for now as they're having some delays when it comes to settling the games(thread related to the issue).

for the 40th time, betradar is such an crap esports provider, it's just laughable at this point 😂 (remember the Lpl teams that changed names and it took betradar a few months to fix it?) they should just scrap esports from their services, that'll force sportsbooks to look for esports providers like Oddsgg

The confusion could be that they're using a different name like Xavius for boomy and mavis for cml. They've became popular when they're with Team Adroit.
And they part ways temporarily and now is rejoined again altogether. They're an unorthodox type of team should I say. This SEA region teams is really one of the most competitive regions in the world and talents are being developed and can be said of one of the most difficult region because many teams are good.

Yup this is one of the reasons why they're not that recognized right away, when they're competing at the lower division I was also curious who these guys were and how long they've been in the scene then found out that these guys are pretty well known during their time in Adroit.

I agree the SEA region is just filled with surprises as there are good teams coming from the open qualifiers that'll be more competent than the current qualified teams.

Just watched the replay for Polaris and BOOM on SEA DPC. I must say, I'm impressed with how Polaris went toe-to-toe with a seemingly untouchable BOOM Esports. The only veteran player that I can recognize on this lineup is Mac, the rest are either young bloods or pubstars that haven't scratched the tournament grounds just yet. I love a good early rotation, and BOOM is quite known with their aggressive plays early on in the game. But Polaris knew how to counter this and sometimes turns around such engagements. I will have my eye on Polaris for the next few days for the SEA DPC matches. They're something worth betting for IMO.

I wouldn't say that the other teammates of Mac are young bloods. They're all no longer young bloods and they're the former team roster of Team Adroit.
There goes Boomy from TNC, Natsumi that also came from another team, Neon and Nikko that once went with XCTN. The experience that they've taken from different teams have been already formed and used on their reunion as Polaris.

Maybe I just haven't heard of them clearly. I remember Adroit's stint a year or two ago, but they haven't achieved much back then so perhaps that is why I thought some of them are young bloods. Boomy I quite know, but the rest are just unheard of names from me, or share the same name with other pubstars in the region that didn't quite make it to the cut-throat SEA server competitions. But I must say Natsumi is a composed carry that can be self-sustainable if need be, all the more reason to watch this team fare against other names in the region.
