but, on a serious note, TSM in NA, Gladiators in WEU, really exiticing stuff seeing the underdogs rising in the ranks and winning tournaments. Hope that these teams remain competitive once the next patch goes live

I agree then there's the newly promoted teams from division 2 like CIS Rejects(old VP), Xtreme(Paparazzi and the gang), Polaris(old Adroit), Entity, and Brame. The next season is looking spicy as more up and coming teams are now in the first division.

Unfortunate to see IG and Alliance get relegated but I hope they'll get back up asap since these two still have a decent lineup.

Really an unexpected turn of event.

But well, let's see what's going to happen next and for whom he's been kicked.

Rumours from reddit have been spreading like a day or two before FATA announced that he has been kicked that Saksa ( former OG post 4 ) might be joining tUNDRA soon so obviously most people thought Sneyking would be leaving the team because he is the post 4 of Tundra but somehow FATA ended up being kicked by them so that leave their post 5 open so Fly could be a potential candidate for that

Yeah, that's possible. We got now two prospect and that could fata or saksa. I've read that rumor that it should be someone that should be kicked but fata have stopped that kicking as he intervenes.

But in the end, the management and likely the other 4 have decided to just kick him in so that the new player would come in. Many have felt bad for him as he's the one responsible for almost everything on this team.

Wishing him that he'd find a better home and would have the cinderella story like what happened to OG.

I also doubt Karrigan is the type of player that would easily break and go into depression after that loss since he's been through it all and is one of the veteran players in the scene. [...]

yeah, he knows how to overcome challenges. But still man, bottom fragger with less than 30 kills in three maps, that's...not good

Karrigan just needs to find a good team, I think that his current one isn't synergizing well with him and I think that he's a pretty good captain especially during his time in Astralis. How do you know that he's got a depression though? Pretty sure that's a private and sensitive topic for almost anyone right? I knew NaVi was going to do something in that match, especially when they started getting ahead in their economy, it's a snowball for then, pretty cool for FaZe to be able to push NaVi to their limits.

He's already in a good team though, I think they just need some more time with Ropz to polish things up since he's only been with the team for a month and a half and meshing well with the team.

I also doubt Karrigan is the type of player that would easily break and go into depression after that loss since he's been through it all and is one of the veteran players in the scene. I still remember when he was in mousesports and they won a tournament then after that their team fell down hard to the point that they'd usually get an early exit in a tournament and go into a 10 series losing streak. If anything, most pro players won't crack that easily since they've already experienced so much like winning, losing, close wins, losses, long games, etc.

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

I hope no one missed the awesome comeback of NaVi against FaZe at Cs:GO because it was 15-11 for FaZe , and somehow Navi and S!mple godlike awp took 4 consecutive rounds and push the 3rd map into OT when they won after 2 double OT's. On a way , I feel bad for Karrygan as this player is on his limit to break and I don't want to see him going into depression that is hunting him for years now but on the other side, S1mple is the current GOAT of cs:go and there is nothing more to see and say about this player.

Congrats to Team Spirit once again on winning this Dota Pro Circuit Winter Tour Regional Finals.

As expected even though they've been knockdown on LB by HR but they had made out some comeback or revenge on HR in lower bracket.
Talking about the game then it was really just too easy for TS and execute out those plays very well. Yatoro and Torontotokyo are beasts.

Dota 2: Has anyone heard and seen the news about Fata getting kicked by his own team/org? He's the one that formed his squad and they also broke the contract tradition for signing players for a long time.

I thought that it's going to take this team's roster forever but the one who has formed it was the one that got kicked: Fata kicked from Tundra

Rumors are saying that Fly might replace him.

Sad to see Fata getting kicked out from Tundra. So far I didn't hear any rumors what happened behind the scene. Losing against OG in the regional finals is not world ending. And their performance over the last 6 month was alright, they earned some decent price money in tourneys. To me it seems a bit like an overreaction to kick Fata now. I really liked their team, especially with Aui_2000 as coach. Fly is also a strong support player, but who knows if we can keep the team together like Fata. Hope Fata will find a new great team in no time.

Still unknown what has happened, I've read some crazy speculations about it but I think it wouldn't count as it's just an opinion of anyone. I also like this team as they're very consistent. With a few short comings, they shouldn't just kick him because they had a long term contract. But, it could be a contract that says "we can kick anyone anytime".

i can't keep up with all the games right now: FURIA v G2 is a banger, T1 v Nongshim and RNG v LNG both series are going to the game 3, and Team Spirit v HellRaisers just started, oof!

waiting for more Katowice action later today, got the following tickets, wish me luck: FaZe +1.5, Virtus Pro ML and NiP +1.5

I don't think it will help against PSG.LGD, they draft strange teams, loose their lanes and then turn the game around as soon as the opponent makes first little mistake. [...]

Yup, and on top of that a major patch is coming in a couple of days and one thing you don't want to lose is one of your members at times like this since it could get tough adjusting through the meta as we already saw other teams regress and struggle back then.

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.

There are probably some internal issues going on, then again I think it's not that surprising to see them break the contract since there's usually more to it than just playing with the org for a few years.

Sucks to see Fata getting the short end of the stick but I hope he'll find another team before the next season starts since I still think he's a solid support player.

PSG.LGD sweep RNG for both comeback match.

LGD are so good. They are 9-0 and only dropped 4 games so far in DPC CN... no chance whatsoever for RNG or Aster in the Grand Final, quick 3-0 for LGD

Let' see if the 7.31 patch will change the meta just enough so that the cn region can be more competitive again

Yeah, PSG. LGD is pretty strong in the current meta no matter how bad the situation. So far I can't see any of there match that become a one-sided fight coz they always manage a solution in all of there match by trusting Ame to recover his farming since he is so good on farming his items. He has a discipline and a smart way to enter the team fight unlike other carry players that has an unstable performance.

I want to give credits too on PSG.LGD supports and core since they are doing a great job to give Ame space and openings for both farming and team fight. I hope they maintain this performance until TI.

TSM.FTX back in dota2 and as big TSM FAN , I was excited to see that name on a dota2 screen again and they also started in fashion with a 2-0 against EG.

For those who barely watch Dota2 , Team Undying was rebranded under the TSM name and it's a well deserved one as NA Dota really lacks investors and promoters for Dota2 teams and players so a bit of hype around Dota2 NA is always welcome.

Now , back to EU dota where Team Spirit kinda forgot to play Dota2 so they chose to go un Lower bracket in order to discover the new meta heroes and strats and they only needed 1 game in order to be back on that crazy pace where the enemy team barely has space on the map to farm. However, VP looks better than them and I do think this will be the Bo5 Finals tomorrow.

That is pure player class and I expect them to be even more dominant on new patch if they get a bit more careful in drafting stage and they probably will. It almost seems like this one is a bit boring to them so they are trying all kinds of heroes/combos to see how far the can push it.

got some tickets in Katowice: FaZe ml, NIP ml and +2.5 Vitality v Gambit... the latter will be a banger 🔥🔥

also some LEC action later today, El Clasico is back and i'll be backing G2 here. Rogue vs. Vitality is the kind of game that looks like it's gonna be one hell of game on paper but in reality it'll likely end up being a 23 minute stomp Roll Eyes
