VP always were kings on mirage but Im remembering the wrong team of course Embarrassed

Shame about ancient, I figure thats just a newer map that perhaps mean upset to the natural order we might see on the older maps, today VP couldn't make that true.
Im seeing that Gambit result from the top team and wondering if Navi might also falter vs G2 now. I think 3 maps is more then fair as a bet and maybe G2 could take this, Navi are undoubtedly hurt by a constant stream of bad news.
Heroic and Faze both have good match history now, Faze only losing to Navi over 3 maps and Heroic beating top teams. Should be a good struggle, I wont pick a winner just try 3 maps.

It is very difficult to decide in both semi-finals, it is very difficult to decide, in this case, I did not decide. It will be really enjoyable to watch M0nesy and S1mple face off in the NAVI-G2 match. I can easily say that the G2 is now a more competitive competitor against Navi. While things are going badly in Navide, G2 has a bit of a chance, it can actually go over three games.

As said G2 had the upper hand with higher chance and it perfectly used it. In the Semi final G2 has won Natus Vincere. G2 seems to be in tension at some points. This looks like they have felt like playing against the World No.1 team. After securing 2nd position in PGL Major Stockholm 2021, this is the time G2 entering the grand final defeating Natus Vincere.

I'm taking Weibo -1.5 vs OMG @1.72, Weibo is red hot at the moment taking wins against good teams and even though they could drop a map I still think OMG is likely going to get swept since they lost against a weaker team in their last series. Plus, WBG has the better individual talent, I think the only way they won't cover the spread is when they'll try to go for an experimental draft.

I also want to go for Faze later today but I might have to go with live betting since I got buried by both VP and Gambit when I took them pre live yesterday.

I just wish ana and jerax the best and for ana, hopes he finds a good team that will synch with his playing style.

He probably wont for the next DPC season (almost confirmed). It was rumoured that he will join a team from the SEA region but so far all potential team from SEA region has already changed their roster. Talon might be taking 23savage as their post 1 so there you go, Ana is not getting back this season. The thing about retuning to pro scene when you are a TI winner is that there is alot of expectation for you to carry the team but Dota is not a 1v5 game so yeah I kinda like it if Ana doesnt go back to pro scene and ruin his reputation somehow

Yeah, that was T1 that many have assumed that he's going to be with them. But it had a surprise when T1 announced that it was not him but Gabbi.

As for 23savage, it's not Talon that had taken him but it's Motivate Trust gaming that took him as a stand-in.

Well for this time, it's better to assume what you've said about ana. And that is he's likely not to play for this DPC season.

Edit: I didn't see that coming for Talon and 23savage, you're right. I just haven't saw the news about his transfer there. He is now officially there and was just announced a few minutes as of typing this.

Cashback 15%

Rooting for Gambit on today's games. They have received a lot of backlash from the gaming community, but in reality they can't really do anything to condemn the invasion since they are also under Russian management. The team's morale surely would have been shred to pieces after all the hate, but they're still a beast team and I hope they don't let it get to their heads.

IEM Katowice is back! anyone watcjing VP v G2? hell of a match with triple OT in map1
+1.5 VP at 1.8 odds looks juicy, they have 100% wr in Ancient, same odds in over 2.5, both hit and it could be a great start of the weekend (: EDIT* it'a blowout 😂

Gambit v FaZe after that match... let's see if the Gambit players can perform well today, hopefully they stay away from all the "outside noise" and toxicity that's been going around in social media. Not bets for me here, 50/50 match imo, FaZe have been playing really well lately, but Gambit are the type of team that 2-0 any org right now

Ana had been grinding matchmaking pretty hard at the start of this month. Which led me to believe that he'd get back to competitive Dota2 but I'm not sure now. I thought he'd join T1 as their pos 1, as there were a few rumors about it but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm sure that there will be teams that would like to take ana and will have to invest huge amount of money just to take him. But I guess it won't be that expensive as before while he's with OG.

I'm thinking of the other way around, I don't want to sound mean but imo it seems risky to bring in a returning player as we see how Jerax is struggling a bit with EG though it would be impressive if he could find a team that would easily mesh with his playstyle.

I understand that as they're now past their prime but still, they've got experience that would be helpful to their new teams. As for EG, I've been also seeing them having some adjustments.

Despite they've got a really strong roster, still, they're having a hard time on their region. But it's all about the team chemistry, despite having 5 good best players but if there's no chemistry, they won't win.

I just wish ana and jerax the best and for ana, hopes he finds a good team that will synch with his playing style.

Any leans for the IEM playoffs scheduled tomorrow?

I'm liking the overs on both series as these teams looked a bit shaky but at the same time, I don't want to miss out on

The IEM playoff games this weekend should be quite interesting. So far I didn't place any bets yet, but out of the two matches on Friday G2 vs Virtus Pro should be a good win G2. Their performance over the last two months was strong. I don't expect any surprises here. Faze vs Gambit is a harder pick, I probably will not bet here. As for Saturday I expect Navi to play vs G2, and Navi to win this one. Over the last 6 months Navi was the team I won my most bets with. It's always good to bet a little on them.

Also, T1 just signed Gabbi as their official carry player, I can't say it's an upgrade or not as they already looked good with 23savage but the change is somewhat questionable, to say the least.

This isn't a questionable change to me. T1 does this most of the time, remember when they were with Jackky before? They've kicked him for 23savage.

Now, that Gabbi is free, they've kicked 23savage for Gabbi. I think with Kuku's leadership, he knows what he's looking for and what type of game style he needs for the team.

Going with other region, it's saksa that's going to play for team Tundra as they've kicked Fata. And it's sneyking that will replace Fata as the captain and pos 5.

Sorry for multiple responses at once

So it wasn't T1.Ana after all after they had put up Gabbi which I could say that it isn't really a bad choice either but for those Ana fans out there is really disappointed.
Whether there were no negotiations in between t1 and ana in the first place but well its already cleared out that Gabbi would take the role.
KuKu is somewhat that smart on trying out to find some good player that would fit out on their playstyle.

Yes, we've been wrong with that expectation. It's official, T1.Gabbi.

I'm sure that there will be teams that would like to take ana and will have to invest huge amount of money just to take him. But I guess it won't be that expensive as before while he's with OG.

While Jerax is now with EG, notail and ceb are retired, topson stays on OG, ana is grinding in pubs. Maybe there are already talks between him and his potential new team.

EG choking again on every Valve tournament finals by there easy to predict draft by Bulba. They never realized how small the hero they giving Abed which is very easy to counter on a best of 5 series game. I thought my bet of +1.5 to TSM will gonna be burned when EG manage to comeback and get the lead by winning game 3 of the match. Miraculously there drafts on game 4 and 5 is so easy to predict and counter which TSM capitalize on the long run. I notice too that JerAx is playing a bit odd on there match, His positioning is always so bad that always so result into pick off. Cheesy

Even though they have the top player Abed, RTZ and Jerax still its the problem of drafting most of the heroes of Abed just circulating with the Storm, puck, and ember so we don't expect too much with the EG better if they create some meta so they can now make a good play with the tournaments, once fly leave EG with Iceiceice it's like they are not can make again with the top 5 still EG has the course.

Unlike into that core player and mid player of Team Spirit which does have a huge hero pool on which opponent couldn't really be able to ban out or something useless just because there still lots of

options to take which these players should have some step up? What you think? Its really that true that it is already that predictable when you do only have 3-5 hero pool type of player

then you would really be finding yourself a trouble if opponent would be focusing into those heroes to banned.
