Ceb is always think positive even they are in the brink of not participating TI. Ceb and Notail is the real foundation of OG good team work, They even use Sumail efficiently despite of his attitude. I don't know if Ceb's giving statement about there stand on this TI but I'm sure that they will show us a good run on this TI.

Let's just hope for his recovery, He just recently tweet that he undergo a serious eye surgery after he recover on Covid-19. He is still uncertain if he can play on TI.

Yeah, he's an optimistic guy and with that true sight that we've watched, he's really an ideal guy to the team. I'm counting on them and still eyeing for them to take this year's aegis for the third time. Another announcement has been made by Valve[1], they've refunded the live audience tickets. No more live audience during this TI10 for the safety of everyone over the corona virus-19.

Astralis have already qualified for the majors. Is there any chance for Complexity still , if there is then I think it won't be easy for Astralis to get a win in this match.

i haven't been following the groups or who's close to qualifying or not, i just place my tickets based on their recent form and i've been doing ok in the last couple of days (: (5W 3L)

two wins today

i don't usually go for round handicaps but those picks looked like good value given their weak rivals

I saw this on their page that it's Micke that will officially going to stand-in for OG on this TI10. It's different if there's no Ceb. He's likely the main brain of the team and then there's Notail. I can't imagine how this team will have their run on this TI despite Micke being strong, the bond between teammates that they've used to play with is totally different. The strength and playstyle changes if Ceb is not there anymore. But wishing him to be better and hopefully he'll be allowed by the doctor to play after the group stages.

The trust and bond is the most important criteria in winning TI and OG already prove that by doing back to back champion on TI. I agree with you that OG is different without Ceb. Micke is pos 1 on liquid while Ceb is pos 3, I don't if this kind of things will work out. Micke is strong as carry, Maybe he will not show full potential by doing a role that he didn't practice often times. So sad to hear for OG if Ceb really don't came back.

Yeah, they've proved it twice of being a TI champ. They know how to beat the other teams with this strategy that they have and managed to bring them two TIs.
Is there any by chance that Ceb has said that they'll win the third TI? Because he said after winning the first TI, they'll win the 2nd TI easy and they did.

Locking in another parlay for today, I got Sinners @1.56, Astralis @1.68 and Faze @1.43 for a total of 3.75 and with the given odds Astralis is the riskiest pick out of the three but I think they'll edge out Complexity here.

This match is crucial for Sinners (to avoid tiebreakers) since Movistar's next match after this is against Endpoint which is the weakest team in their group and Sinners is likely to lose the next as they'll be facing Astralis.

Same goes for Faze they can't afford to drop any series since Double Poney also have the same record.

Astralis have already qualified for the majors. Is there any chance for Complexity still , if there is then I think it won't be easy for Astralis to get a win in this match. Btw it would be nice to see their former teammate es3tag playing against them.

Yesterday, I lost my bet on Vitality to win against ENCE and qualify for the majors earlier but ENCE who had some hopes left for majors spoiled it totally. They were so dominant yesterday. Same goes for other matches as majors are near and teams are pushing very hard even if there are small hopes.

The group stages for The International 10 is just a week away. But there are already some bad reports about players that are having the covid-19 virus.

But the good thing about this upcoming group stage is that they're playing in a room which is fine even some of the players are in the recovery process.

Yeah I heard this news. It's too bad for Invictus Gaming for not having JT incase he didn't recover before the TI but Team Aster suffers the most by having 3 player and coach with Covid-19. This will gonna impact a lot to them since they were hit during the final stage of there boot camp. Participating in a TI after battling Covid-19 is really devastating especially for there team work. They will need to adjust on the actual tournament. I wonder what they are doing on bootcamp

Everyone who's tuning in for the upcoming TI10 is also waiting for what's next with these affected teams. It's also sad that Ceb might not go to play with team OG.

He's my favorite player and he knows how to tilt enemies and as well as very courageous even if they're not in good situation. That's based on their winning match where he carried them all with his Axe against PSG.LGD with his popular play and casted as 'ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeb'.

I hope ceb will recover faster before TI 10 starts, So when OG loses, the fans don't blame things like this on Micke, there's a lot of pressure from OG fans about this to micke. regarding his role i think its quite matched with OG player . notail and saksa role still as hard or soft support and topson , sumail . micke all these three can be midlaner . carry or offlaner . they often switch roles in the previous team.

i did read on twitter some rumours about Ceb (OG) missing TI? it's not confirmed

The rumour is that he had to do / had done eye surgery and has to stay away atleast 3 months from screen or else he will be blind.

This is taken from liquipedia page, Im pretty sure this indicate that there is a strong possibility that Ceb will not participate or else there is no point to provide a reserve player

thanks for the Dota info, guys. Sucks that Aster could possibly miss so many players in the biggest stage of the year, but it is what it is....

i hope Ceb can make it to TI. But an eye surgery a few days before the TI? yeah things look rough for OG

anyway, not a bad day, eh...i had to risk some units on G2 - CF but it was worth it (G2 lost tho, lmao)

Most of the post on social media is just a rumor. And we don't know the actual setup on the TI, Maybe they will launch the contest on separated room per team then just play there without the need to go outside. Just my opinion.

There are some rumours that the tickets will be refunded and TI could be delayed for atleast two more weeks in case if some of these players are still tested positive for covid-19 days before the first game. This is not confirmed yet, just rumours flying around

That really sucks for the player listed above and especially for Team Aster of course if they would really lose 3 of their 5 players before the tournament. If those 3 really can not participate in the TI then Team Aster is basically already out because there is no way they can integrate 3 new players into a team that quickly. Also i have to say i am pretty happy that so far no players of the big and popular teams are affected. I think it would really suck if for example PSG.LGD would lose 1 or 2 players before the TI now that they have pretty much dominated the last few months. Same goes for OG, i just hope we don't see a TI without Topson.

Pretty unfortunate news for both Aster and Aster fans. So if we are to face a scenario where 3 players are unable to play for Aster in the tournament, they will be out in the first round. Because finding 3 players in this short time, practicing, and even building the required team chemistry is pretty tough. I just hope that the infected players recover soon.

I bet Navi to beat Spirit but not sure I will really predict many of these bo1 games, it was 10-16 so thats just enough to win the high rounds bet I guess. It wasnt listed when I looked though and its not an easy bet to take, we're talking far higher levels of random coin flips.
Even the teams themselves state they do not want any real progress in a tournament to be decided in this way. Thats why we got loser brackets I guess, no team should be forced out without being allowed to win a bo3

Forze have odds of nearly 3x while playing their favorite map vs VP who have a win ratio in the fifties on it and the two teams are fairly close together. Maybe VP still has alot of supporters betting, seems a fair bet to me.

Vitality seems like a toss up at first but they have the better map pool and form, whether it be Mirage or Inferno, a win here means one step closer to locking that playoffs spot.

Vita to win is a no brainer. OG were struggling a lot against crappy ENCE yesterday. If Zywoo wants he could fast 16-1 this game, no problem Cool

just two tickets for me today

After browsing the scheduled matches I ended up taking these two, Vitality to win @1.64 vs OG and Sinners to win @1.31 vs Endpoint (total odds of 2.15).

Vitality seems like a toss up at first but they have the better map pool and form, whether it be Mirage or Inferno, a win here means one step closer to locking that playoffs spot.

Sinners looked solid after taking down Heroic yesterday and now facing a struggling Endpoint team, this should be a win no matter what.

Looks nice to me. Vitality should win their match against OG given their recent performance run. However OG are capable to surprise but I think Vitality has too much quality and team coordination so I am kinda inclined towards Vitality. As for Sinners vs Endpoint, Sinners to win is an easy pick. Their recent win against Heroic was really superb and they should easily handle endpoint.

Astralis vs Heroic should be a good one to watch.

The post covid phase is really bad. And playing even after recovering from covid is not that easy. You cannot expect them to their 100% right after recovering from covid . It's very unfortunate for Aster. Having 3 players and a coach infected is bad news. Also, I'm glad about the rooms the players will be getting, good environment plays a major factor in my opinion in these kinds of tournaments. Hope the infected player recover soon.
