So, I suppose that's it for tier 1 events in Dota this year, right? or do we have another one in september? the only relevant ongoing tournament is i-league, but after that, it should be a whole month for all the teams in TI to focus on practicing 24/7

anyway, BIG - FaZe in the Pro League later today sounds like a banger..over 2.5 at 1.9 it is for me...tough picking a winner here, isn't it? yesterday BIG had a fluke win and Faze were outplayed by Fnatic..still, they haven't looked too bad in this tourney 🧐 so, what are you guys up to?

I couldn't follow the matches today, but I was very surprised when I looked at the results. Fnatic defeated Faze , Big also defeated Navi. Good thing I didn't make any predictions for these matches.. Fnatic team's return is hopeful. I guess jackinho seems to be able to do something in the last match Cheesy

Anyway, let's talk about the matches on Monday. What will happen between Big and faze, but it will be a good match for sure. Fnatic beats mousesport I think fnatic is in good form and for Fnatic There is a good odds. I don't expect any surprises for the Navi-Evil Geniuses match, it will be easy for Navi.

T1 is out and will go out the tournament ending with a 4th position. Still a good run for them and they'll bring home $25,000 in prize.
But the most important thing on this tournament is the experience and the new meta that they've shown to us about their KOTL with a dagon, Karl played well with it for those matches that he played this hero.

yes quite sad they had to lose. I thought they would win again like the previous tournament "ESL one summerr". It seems that KOTL in this meta can be used more than just soft support more flexible btw the tournament has ended and psg.lgd  become the winner of the tournament from the lower bracket . remind me of enigma team that always win from lower bracket  Grin

PSG.LGD won against Virtus Pro, Dota 2.
Now, they're at the grand finals against Tundra Esports and as of typing this, they're already 2-2 and it's the last match for this tournament of ESL One Fall.
It is an impressive stand in for xiao8, who says the guy can no longer play competitively?  Tongue
I doubted him.

the last days went Crazy in the ESL for 2 Days BIG win strong in the first and second map Smiley
happy to see BIG play so good Smiley
Im had think Fnatic win vs Natus Vincere butt no they lost  Shocked
Im sorry for Mousports first round win FaZe, second map Mousesports and the final map they play to bad to win.

I feel really good about BIG this year, it is one of my favourite teams. Have been following tabseN for a long time now, he has really grown a lot of the past few years. Would be awesome if they could go far in the Major this year. I will put some money on them because my usual pick of Astralis doesn't look so convincing anymore and they haven't won any big tournament in the last year. Really looking forward to the Stockholm Major. Anybody knows if they going to make souvenir cases again this year?

Yes for sure tabseN is very good for the Team and he do a realy good job. Smiley
And they win the match Today strong first map was good on the second map they destroy natus  Grin
faZe lost the first map so close  Roll Eyes butt Fnatic was to strong on the second map.
Now Live Moussports vs Evil Genuises firs tmap win Mousepsorts Smiley now a break second map on nuke.

Few hours left T1 vs PSG.LG low bracket

I am much more confident in T1 to continue for enter the semi final against tundra or vp . i really like their draft pick and their hero choices. what's more with the current meta it seems they are quick to learn from the experience of the previous match against the tundra who finished them with hero support  Grin i really enjoyed their performance in the previous 3 matches.

something happened overnight cuz he's been great today. Obviously, BIG are like two tiers below NaVi so that helps  Grin

Oh, missed the Big vs Fnatic as was busy with something but yeah looking at stats on hltv it does seems like he contributed quite well in their win against BIG. Also it is a bit surprising that both new signings are geling up quite well with other members of Fnatic. Both mezii and ALEX also contributed very well in their game against Navi. Overpass was so close yesterday and I like the way they are working so well and committing into certain strategies they put up.

I can see Fnatic lifting up in ranks and they needed to be as they have some good CS history.

Rogue - Fnatic...another FNC match going to a 5th and decisive game? maybe, all of their games in the playoffs finished 3-2, so why not...i booked the over maps at 2.6 odds edit* really hope Rogue doesn't make it to worlds main event

https://i.imgur.com/9j7Glqe.png

Did not even consider to hedge the ticket at all. Was sure they got this and then I was sweating a little in the begining of the 3rd map before PSG got they shit together.
nice free bet win!

Except for Jackinho all played very well. New players also quite made their good show in debut but hoped Jackinho also should have played some part in. He missed quite some sitter in crucial round. Missing two close Awp shots also threw commentators laughing.  Grin

Some are having a bad streak but well they have really good players in and quite give us some surprises.
Fnatic actually looked pretty good today, considering how shit they've been for the past few months + the roster changes...too bad jackinho is playing with a controller and a 60hz monitor upside down, 4v5 in every round thanks to this bot 😂

one down, one to go



PSG.LGD can stop them, I am expecting them to meet in the final again.

Yeah, I think PSG.LGD is still much better than all the other teams on the lower bracket.
I thinkt Tundra - VP will meet again in the grand final...they haven't dropped a single map so far except when they met in the group stage (0-2 VP)

Psg.lgd has an incomplete roster. Xiao8 is just a stand-in for nothingtosay which is the key player for Lgd in case Ame is not performing well.
and still, they beat Alliance and Team Liquid before  Sad

With the combination of KuKu and Carl tandem since dota 1 days, they have a great day and earn a lot of respect for their gameplay because they are good on their Era and until now they earned more because of the new team they got which is the T1 imagine they got into the Top 3 spots of the international having a 60hz vs 144hz has a lot of difference in terms of playing.

Yeah, they are really monster especially there pos 3 to pos 5 who can totally shutdown the enemy carry without any hesitation. We know that Ame sometimes play a throw game with there previous roster and they can't recover the game once Ame was totally shutdown but the current roster is totally different. They can recover the game even there carry is not performing well on early to mid game just like what OG do when they are on the solid roster before. I believe LGD is very strong and unstoppable this year,  Cheesy
PSG.LGD is currently my favorite team. I feel like every time I watch their game I see some new DOTA mechanic or hero that nobody plays in tournaments. They were the last match I was waiting on last night to bring my nice multi home and they delivered Smiley

-snip-

Honestly I am surprised with the result of group B. I thought at least G2 and Virtus Pro would be able to go through but they failed and that came as a big surprise. Good play from OG, Forze and Complexity throughout their group matches.
 


Now it is time to turn the head towards Group C and we have quite some teams there- BIG, Navi, Faze, Mousesports, Fnatic, Evil Geniuses. All teams IMO are quite good. Some are having a bad streak but well they have really good players in and quite give us some surprises.

PSG.LGD with the throw, they had a 10k gold lead, then they lose their first big team fight of the game and then it all went downhill from there. Congrats to VP for winning ESL One Fall...seriously, who can stop them?

Psg.lgd has an incomplete roster. Xiao8 is just a stand-in for nothingtosay which is the key player for Lgd in case Ame is not performing well. Despite there temporary roster, Lgd still perform well on this tournament. I'm so glad that I didn't bet on this match. VP is pretty solid on this tourney tho. But still they might rematch again in the finals though.

The results for Group B were thus, OG team managed to be 1st in the group without any defeat. The G2 team has no wins. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it very much in these group matches. An also, group C matches have started today, favorite teams Faze and Navi, it will be a pleasure for me to watch the matches of these teams.

Going with FPX -1.5 today, not much reasoning behind the pick aside from they're the best team in LPL. The over 3.5 seems like a good alternative but the handicap offers better odds as i'm expecting this series to end 3-1 at the very least.

Then on dota i'm leaning between Tundra and Beastcoast's +1.5 handicap. I feel like odds should've been closer but I somewhat get that Tundra's group fought more difficult teams.

VP has a perfect record so far, total of 6 wins with 2-0 for all of the games. Thats pretty sick for a bootcamp tournament, most teams are trying some new stuff for TI but VP just smashed all of them



I was kinda hoping that PSG.LGD win and picked them for my bet but turns out I should have stick with VP instead but the winner odds for PSG.LGD was quite tempting lol. Well it seems that we've got a new favourite for TI. Back in Animajor I thought PSG.LGD might smashed all the team that qualified for TI

PSG.LGD can stop them, I am expecting them to meet in the final again.

Yeah, I think PSG.LGD is still much better than all the other teams on the lower bracket.

Both times on mid position and it looked like it has potential.

Well the third time is a charm and it might be fun if they pick that hero again against VP in the Final
