There definitely seems to be some bad blood among both teams. During game 1, T1 mid(karl) called Neon's mid "DOG" in all chat after Karl kills him. Later after Neon wins the series they went mad in All chat as well.. calling T1 "Bobo" and "Intro Boys". SEA teams are build different..but this is on another level haha. Fun games but I expected 2-0 win for T1 as well. Unlucky there.
It was abeng that called "gg intro boys". When there's trash talk, it's always fun and these scenarios are always normal if you're in the SEA. Whether it's in the pub or tournaments, as long as it's normal trash talk, there won't be any problem as these people also knew each other in real life, at least for the same race. T1 is strong but Neon is improving and I was one of the people before that look down on this current roster that they have but, they're proving themselves.

Unfortunate loss yesterday just when I decided to go for the over in map 1 it went under due to Phoenix's greedy draft. Hopefully, today's the day i'd break the losing streak as we have a lot of dota matches scheduled today.

I see some value in T1 -1.5 @2.06 vs OB Neon, I understand Neon just won a tournament and their momentum might carry over to this DPC match but i'm still not convinced since most of their matchups were against CN teams.

Edit : Another loss, T1 stomped the first map but Neon drafted well in the second map and it looks like Neon might pull off the upset as T1 got outdrafted in the third map.

DPC SEA division 1 is completely dominated by Boom, Fnatic and T1 which the team except T1 has the roster of previous TNC. Armel and Tims is showing an impressive performance in both there respective team. I want Boom to win on this DPC so that they will more points participate on TI since TI and Fnatic will surely get the spot in case they will fall down to wild card. I want to see Tims play on TI.

With this odds still I will prefer for the LGD we know that they already have a good complexity even though Somnus M is not on their side and becomes part of the elephant but still it's the Ame God and they have their own good supports on their lineup. It's another year for the LGD to prove themselves they really deserve another Ti Champion but of course it's a good come back to them on this match.
I somewhat expected LGD to be rusty but it sucks that they dropped the first map due to poor drafting as they barely have good disables aside from their Tide.

I'm going with the over 45.5 total kills on LGD vs Phoenix since they looked sloppy yesterday plus the odds are too one-sided and there's no point in taking the moneyline @1.02 or handicap @1.20 after their performance against Aster.

some value in Aster +1.5 @2.6 but tbh they were crap in Huya Invitational...were they saving strats for the DPC? maybe, maybe not
On paper, Aster have some good players but after that performance in the Huya Invitational it's tough as they barely showed signs of life unless they go IG mode and suddenly become a different team when it comes to DPC tournaments.

I'm going against them and go with LGD -1.5 I think i'll bet against them until they show some improvement since they're just a new roster.

friendly reminder that DPC CN starts in a few hours https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Dota_Pro_Circuit/2021-22/1/China/Division_I
Before I proceed with the DPC CN, I'd like to congratulate Ob.Neon for winning against RNG a few days ago. Ob.neon became stronger with their new roster and these are aspiring good players. They've been against RNG and Somnus aka Maybe was there together with Chalice and Xnova. That team was strong but they've managed to win 3-1 against them during the Huya invitational. Now, proceeding with the DPC CN, first game is going to be Ehome and Phoenix. RNG is also a participant of this tournament.

the balance in my accounts in the bookies is 0 atm because new year and all that, but if they weren't i would've gone with Ehome to win...some value in Aster +1.5 @2.6 but tbh they were crap in Huya Invitational...were they saving strats for the DPC? maybe, maybe not

Surprised to see Neon take down IG yesterday and for today's lower bracket final, i'm taking the value pick which is IG @2.13 I think this match is slightly IG favored since they kept it close against Neon. I guess the only reason why RNG is slightly favored against IG is that they took down VG in a 2-0 fashion while IG went to a decider against them. This is still a 50-50 at the minimum since anything can happen at the drafting phase just like how Xtreme gaming got stomped 2-0.
Though luck, it was a good 3rd map and it could have gone either way but in the end RNG got it. I had over 2.5 on one ticket but then i got greedy after second map and placed a bet on IG to win since i liked their draft better. So I am about break even with this early DOTA game.

I am thinking of playing even over 4.5 maps for the final. Have a feeling this one could go the distance.

Dota 2 news. - Xiao8 was spared. He's not guilty of the allegations that have been brought to him by his ex-wife. Well, a personal issue has been brought to him just after they've lost TI10 championship and alleged him that he's match-fixing his own team.

Article: Xiao8 found innocent of accusations as PSG.LGD completes their investigation into allegations of Dota 2 TI10 matchfixing

Well, match-fixing today has a bigger and heavier sanction that could lose someone's career not only in Dota 2 but in the entire esports.

I've updated the Calendar in the OP!

Check out what's coming up in January 2022! MOBA fans are gonna be stoked seeing how Dota and LoL will have tons and tons of matches. But, on the other hand, we fps fans won't be that lucky cos csgo will have crappy month, same with Rainbow six, and Valorant will only have some qualifiers, so...

Testing the over 51.5 kills in Neon vs IG as i've noticed whenever it's a SEA vs CN matchup both sides tend to take a lot of risks in the first map and it usually ends up with a lot of kills.

In their last meeting in the group stage both maps ended going over (54 and 79) and it's likely we'll see another over unless IG stomps them early game and force an early high ground push.



Edit : Winner, map 1 ended with 62 kills.  Cheesy

Anyway, I really like Xtreme +1.5 @1.41 vs RNG, their last meeting in the group stage ended 1-1 and i'm thinking this is more of a coinflip after RNG went down against Neon.


RNG loss to Neon was a big surprise or me and I like your pick, unfortunately did not manage to get the ticket out in time, now waiting for live odds. VG is not unbeatable with their new roster but I expect them to win against SMG
