Are there any big major incoming in CS:GO ? I know that in Dota we won't have any big tournaments before TI in October.
As mentioned by tomahawk the next big tournament is the ESL Pro League which is 3 weeks from now. Aside from ESL there's also the SA RMR tournament I don't follow the SA scene that much so i'd stick to League.

Other than league the COD major is also scheduled to kick off within the next few days. It sucks that most crypto bookies only have match winners since the top teams usually cover the handicaps. Grin

I also have a small bet on Navi junior/Mouz nxt, should be an easy win for Mouz since things looks brutal on the side of Furia and odds on Young Ninjas felt way too high for me now that Navi is gaining some form.

Since LPL will start in tuesday i'll have to give in to the WePlay academy matches for today
i just locked my tickets for a couple of games https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/64c60771-e349-42be-aa5f-f56fcd51ac94

yes, i added IG to a ticket, i don't know why i did it tho 😞
Damn guys, still only talking about LoL, just kidding I know there isn't much action across eSports at the moment.

[...]
heh! it's the off season/crappy tournaments time in almost every esport except League. Next week is when we're gonna start seeing some action in dota, rainbow six, valorant and csgo, with some higher tier events

talkiing about csgo, esl pro league just released the groups and it's looking pretty good https://www.hltv.org/news/32102/epl-s14-groups-drawn-astralis-heroic-vitality-kick-off-group-a

my early predictions on who advances to playoffs: group a, Heroic, Astralis, Spirit. group b, G2, VP and OG. group c, Navi, BIG, Mouse. group d, Gambit, NIP, Furia

I'm wondering why VALORANT isn't included in the OP because it's the mainstream game right now and a lot of tournaments happened recently.
you mean in the "popular Esports" part? cos i did add valorant to the Calendar  Sad along side other esports which are still somehwat small in the gambling scene imo and didn't have many big tournaments this month.

The part about the popular ones, that's a quote from a user and he didn't include it at the time of writing. But, if you have the speficic info about valorant (Prize Fund, Prize Tournaments Number, the things the user @soliton included in his post) and you want me to add it the OP, let me know and i'll do it asap (:

Well , besides LOL , there is really nothing to watch in this period. Personally , I don't like LOL but I do like TFT from that game even if I barely have any time to open any game and when I do , usually won't last long.

Try Valorant! Stage 3 challengers are happening right now and I'm wondering why VALORANT isn't included in the OP because it's the mainstream game right now and a lot of tournaments happened recently. Even the popular streamers of twitch are playing Valorant and having watch party on VCT Challengers 2 and now I'm waiting for VALORANT Champions Tour 2021: North America Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. and next is the VCT Berlin Masters! A lot of tournaments are waiting so I hope that those popular platforms mentioned have VALORANT bettings.

I just placed a bet on Chicken Fighters to win against Winstrike, did not watch much DOTA lately and wanted to make myself watch this one. I saw some glimpses of Winstrike games and they are playing some strange DOTA, if CF are anywhere near to the levels they were I watched them last time this should be easy game for them.

Tarik (former major winner) is playing with Bad News Bears (rank 59) tonight in a semi final.   He is retired kinda, streaming playing valorent but playing at this level shouldnt be a stretch and even better ptr is a long term team mate of his offically and unofficially so this game should be with the bears.
1000 IQ move from this team getting Tarik to play both the semifinal and grand final. I just saw the match stats in both games and he absolutely destroyed his opponents. Crazy how a player of his caliber can make another look 10x better

Since LPL will start in tuesday i'll have to give in to the WePlay academy matches for today, taking BIG to win vs Navi @2.38 in terms of recent results Navi are performing better that's why they're the favorites heading in to this match but BIG won in their previous meeting. It all comes down to their carry player monesy since most of Navi's results are one sided while BIG can rely on one another as they have slightly better players all around. Adding [email protected] as well since their losses were much closer compared to Furia.

  Bears took Liquid to 3 maps, I dont see that much notable on the other team, Triumph but I presume they can win it somehow.     Might have to take this as a live or special bet, I dont like to presume 2 maps only but if the odds are right perhaps thats the bet to take.

i'll try my luck in the LEC now and hope that Nisqy and Fnatic can dismantle Rogue later today in the "1st place tiebreaker"
I was also leaning on Fnatic but good thing I didn't pulled the trigger since it could go either way.

For my pick I have [email protected] riding another team with a good streak since they haven't drop a map in all those 5 wins plus JDG looked shaky.

You guys are talking just LoL latley and that is not my cup of tea  Wink Did not want to barge in and disrupt the flow of conversation with occasional DOTA game I decided to throw money on.
Feel free to barge in. Cheesy

I'm on the FPX pick as well, have to ride the momentum here since FPX can't afford to lose if they plan on locking the second seed.
ez money. Doinb is definitely smurfing.
But Suning looked really good today. Bin's gwen is a force to be reckoned with,, i wonder why they're in mid table? maybe is Bin 1v9 in most of their matches?  Grin

i'll try my luck in the LEC now and hope that Nisqy and Fnatic can dismantle Rogue later today in the "1st place tiebreaker"

I am thinking Invictus gaming should win against RNG today, and later on Puckchamp is my favourite against Unique but maybe I change that one to over 2.5 maps.
looks like the two month break in the i-league hurt IG and PSG.LGD a lot, eh? and RNG, from barely qualifying to playoffs to destroying two of the main favorites in a couple of hours
VG, RNG and Aster...want to pick a winner? cuz imo it's toss-up : P

btw, looks like a ghost town around here, doesn't it? where did everyone go?  Tongue just a couple more weeks for new top tier tournaments in csgo and dota

@ralle14  Blg - RA went as expected 👍

highlight tomorrow will be SN - FPX. I can also smell a game 3 in this match, but i'll back fpx simply cos Doinb is smurfing this season. You gonna follow this match or the Lck?

After that stomp in game 1 I was slightly worried BLG might get swept but good thing they bounced back with ease.  Grin

I'm on the FPX pick as well, have to ride the momentum here since FPX can't afford to lose if they plan on locking the second seed.

Skipping the LCK for today since I got burned by GenG yesterday, wasn't expecting their sub jungler to play throughout the series.

LGD are crap, been getting burned every single time i add LGD to my tickets. Just like IG, they're underperforming this season, and when you think they're showing good form, you get a big slap in the face/bankroll
I wouldn't go that far though, since they manage to put up a few decent wins this summer split but yeah things aren't working out for them after picking up a new jungler and top laner.

tomorrow. Bilibili - Rare Atom, battle of mids Zeka vs. FoFo, could be a banger. RA ml odds are a bit too low imo, 1.6 even though they've been very poor in the last 2 game vs. RW and FPX. BLG on the other hand have been pretty good after the 11.13 patch went live. I'll take the over maps here. Will prolly hedge in total kills o25.5, both teams avg. 13 kills per game, so...
I agree the over 2.5 is just screaming with value but i'll go with [email protected] since i'm having doubts on RA now that they're looking a bit inconsistent and I wouldn't be surprised if they get 2-0'd. Also it's amazing how the summer split became this competitive even in the LCK region.

[email protected] to win against LGD. I think LGD is performing better than i've expected this split so if anything this match is close to a coin toss but i'll give the edge to WE since they're taking their time to improve and make adjustments. With that said o2.5 or LGD +1.5 could be a good alternative.

Unexpected performance from TT yesterday  Lips sealed on to the next, my pick today doesn't have much value but I like [email protected] to win against LGD.

With that said o2.5 or LGD +1.5 could be a good alternative.

In very low level games there is more trouble in this problem, they have less to lose and the team discipline can be absent along with any real backbone and so the fixing money is comparatively more attractive.  Australian csgo teams are facing jail on this issue.
I agree the same thing happened in the League scene few months ago where one of the rising players that came from the academy league was accused of fixing it's crazy how one bad action could destroy their careers.

Its not small money to continually pay for a pro team and to compromise results like that would be the end of the team.   Titan was a great org that got completely wiped out by the lasting impression of poor play, one of their players cheated and the sponsorship completely fell through for them.  Titan wasn't even banned, no action or official comment was made against them, just that 1 player wearing their jersey all the sponsors on it while being banned ended them forever hence; due to rarity Titan stickers are worth good 5 figure sums now.    Companies own teams, thats normal and they will avoid screwing up the asset value.

Valve recently lightened up and said there was a 5 year ban for very young players who had cheated, something along those lines.   Previously it was forever even if you been an idiot at age 10 but for setting up fixed matches they have yet to announce any let up for players banned 7 years ago.   I did think 5 years ban was fair in all cases as pro sports does, either way the sponsors and free market mean the org would go broke.

I heard someone has control/stake in some Esports team especially on CSGO, after hearing this news i started avoiding matches in CSGO because something can happen, for example someone can control the outcome of the match. if you find a match result that doesn't make sense then don't be surprised, it's better to avoid betting on the ''winner'' option.

no top tier tournaments in CSGO for at least one month...rough Sad

good thing league of legends and the LPL are not stopping anytime soon. At least two games every day until august. Good stuff

I've had a pretty good record in the last few days (5W, 2L) in cs and LoL combined, so if anyone wants to tail my picks for the next two LPL matches here's my betslip (: https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/801d3ede-5bd5-4b1c-a75b-6ae6e9e9e6f2

also, friendly reminder that the Dota 2 champions league 2021 is live! https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Dota_2_Champions_League/2021/Season_2
