Navi very nearly lost this series in 2 maps, they were slipping on ancient and the live odds for their win went over 2.  I placed a crafty bet and amazingly they still had the round advantage just their ct game was not the best, they tightened it up became more cautious to being sniped post plant and managed to just about coast to end the map.   Ancient was not their pick but they had lost their own map, Mirage no doubt Gambit have been studying demos.    Inferno is enough in favor for Navi to take this but its gone to 90% for Navi so I cashed out and put a tiny counter bet back onto Gambit as I cant stay till map end.    As always Im learning and its a reasonable gamble at over 6x and I've won overall so why not for the interest.   Its not half time yet so its reasonable to consider the flip side of a map might turn the result still.

Anyway apart from this last battle of the titans I was wrong on the 3 maps idea, prior games ended swiftly without as much of a clash so seems the final is the best game of the day Smiley

CIS teams in Blast Premier World Final 2021 (Final). Navi defeated Vitality just an hour ago to advance into Grand Finale against Gambit. Navi looked today very sharp against Vitality and they shut them completely down in both maps. With Gambit having slight difficulty yesterday holding down Vitality but eventually they made it but it sure wasn't their best performance, I think Navi should be the one lifting this trophy today.

Sounds like a nice ticket, I am thinking even Secret -1.5 should pass probably. ML is too low for me so I'll go with that one.

Tough one, Nigma ended up winning with 2-0. I want them to win but honestly I didnt really expect that to happen especially after Secret won against Nigma 2-0 two days ago. It seems Miracle is back up right now to his top notch performance right now, I cant believe that this is the same player that got trashed by Tundra two times in midlane yesterday

I lost mine as well lol, ended up going for over 2.5 maps as usual

After Miracle- taking a break i guess they are now again he is already unranked for past few days and only MC is now trying hard to play an offlane properly. Still team nigma can kick out team secret i guess its better to have miracle than rmn- also they added their team which is the nigma galaxy sea its a good sign that kuroky management is now having a good time. Cant wait to see the match of Nigma and the new OG players.

I believe Nigma with miracle already fought new OG last time and its miracle first game during his comeback. Nigma is still struggling during there previous matches they are always sweep by there opponent, OG and Tundra. I believe they have a chance to beat Secret since they are both struggling on there current roster. I'm still believing on Nigma because they have a solid roster. Miracle just need to calibrate his game to brings back his old game style.

NAVI -1.5, time for them 2:0 someone and who better then Team Unique
Puckchamp +1.5, they are in great form and I belive they can even win against Virtus.Pro
I'll add Navi ml to a multi + Puckchamp hc to another multi


main tickets


let's see if Kyojin can step up his game today, the kid had a really, really bad game on vtg yesterday, but he went online in D2
and i agree that Tundra - OG looks like game it's gonna be a really close game, but i like what i'm seeing from the new OG roster lately

Puckchamp +1.5, they are in great form and I belive they can even win against Virtus.Pro
Also liking their map handicap as VP doesn't look that great after their first three games, losing to HR and dropping a map against Gambit while PuckChamp took down Navi and Gambit 2-0.

Honestly, their odds should be close to 50-50 but I guess the bookies still have high expectations on the VP squad to deliver.

On the lower division match i'll continue betting against B8 and go for Nemiga -1.5 @1.50 I don't know how B8 will improve but they're on their way to elimination and lose to every single team.

Puckchamp +1.5, they are in great form and I belive they can even win against Virtus.Pro
Tundra - OG, over 2.5, We had lots of 2:0 results in this tournament but this game has over written all over it, hope it comes

Liquid did well to get that many rounds but still just the 2 maps.   Spirit took a map from Navi if i remember right

3 maps reasonable bets for both Vitality vs Navi and very likely Gambit vs Navi.  Navi the favorite by far for both, probably not the best odds hence I try the 3 maps route

G2 were eliminated but NiKo was the MVP of the series imo (despite s1mple farming kills on mirage)...says a lot about both teams, Navi looking super shaky lately and G2 being a one man army. Not sure if  m0NESY (new G2 player) is gonna fix all the issues they have, it's a big gamble

Yeah, Niko is such a legend. Even in Faze he was the one performing for them most of the times. Its sad to see him get nothing in 2021. Last he won was IEM New York 2020 (Europe) with FaZe, with G2 his trophy cabinet has been blank. I do hope he gets something in next year or maybe switches to a better team and get some success there.

Vitality x1.77 odds were good enough for a single but they got slashed overnight and it's currently 1.6x...i might go 2-1 Vitality or +2.5 like @ralle14 said...gambit are really good on vertigo but i think Ovp could be a good option for them

Gonna go with Gambit winner today and just enjoy the match. It will be some quite entertaining match between the two in the upper bracket finals about to go down in less than half an hour.

anyhow, gonna play just a multi x2 today

At least eSports are more secure to actually proceed with a match at the moment. Just placed a bet on Aston Villa and 5 minutes later game is postponed Smiley Tough times if you are using free bets.

Starting the day off with Boom -1.5 @1.81 vs Motivate.Trust, last time these two met was during the Mineski Masters and during the grand finals Boom pulled off a reverse sweep win.

Now that they're in solid form I think Boom is somewhat close to T1's level at the moment.

Also i'm liking the over 2.5 on Gambit vs Vitality but I might go with Vitality since Stake is currently offering an insurance promo on whoever wins the first map.

NaVi vs G2 1st map was really entertaining. NaVi had a very good lead but G2 made signs of comeback with Niko rising like a beast in the map- Nuke in which NaVi is currently at best. Niko was the best in the server and he had 35 kills and the only one lifting G2 massively but unfortunately that wasn't enough to put map1 on the board for G2. Second map - Inferno is G2's pick and I am thinking maybe taking G2 with the profit I made on Navi to win 1st.

I couldn't watch the first played nuke map. But my favorite on this map is always the undisputed Navi. I watched the entire map of Inferno and part of the Mirage map. Inferno map was really competitive, the score was always very close. Even though G2 came a little behind, they managed to take the game to overtime and won in overtime. HuNter did a great job in the final rounds and overtime. On the Mirage map, s1mple made 30-10kd, and when I watched the beginning of the match, I understood that he would do this, he started the match very well and they already won 16-4.

Also, the upper bracket final match will be played tomorrow between Gambit and Vitality. Even though I'm a little closer for Vitality, I can't say it's a favorite for either team. For this match as it would be better for me to go to the top 2.5.

Not just that they're good at that map, they have also a good budgeting of their economy so they were able to buy the necessary utility when they need them and I feel bad that it wasn't enough for them to get the win. Nuke has some good spots and NaVi was able to make sure to secure the win.

Yatoro Slardar is very strong!
In the early game of that match, OG was on the lead but I think the turnaround was when OG forced Team Spirit on the top 2nd tower, where the other dead players of Team Spirit did buyback.

And by doing that, I think they did the right thing and managed to turn the favor to them. The tp that TORONTOTOKYO did was on point and exactly landed on tinker. After landing he already got the BKB and it's really on time, very well played they've made on that last match. Then mistake after mistake was done by OG.
