I have mostly missed the first day of the PGL Wallachia Season 1. But let's have some recap, most of the matches were 2-0 except for the match of Azure and Nouns where the Nouns have won but with a 2-1 standing.

Totally cant believe that Nouns could win against AR though, I guess its kinda hit or miss sometimes when you pick the china region team to win. On one game, they would destroy their matchup but on the other game they would just flop so bad

Anyway, Im not sure if any of you guys pay attention to the group stage but we are using bo3 format on group stage which is pretty rare nowadays. Im sick of bo2 group stage, it totally lacks the excitement Im looking for because normally the game gets more intense after games got to 1-1 point so on the 3rd map usually its alot more exciting

And for this round 2, the match of Aurora and Betboom has already started. It seems that we don't have that much attention that are being brought to this tournament, where you at folks?

I'm opting for Astralis @1.32 and FaZe @1.95. FaZe are shown like the underdog by a small margin but I think we will watch them progress.  Smiley

Well I wanna stick with Faze but Vitality was pretty impressive so I think Im sticking with Astralis for today as well as Vitality. 1.32 odds for Astralis is actually pretty low, I got them for 1.4 on Roobet so probably on Rollbit as well because both of these two shares the same provider I guess and even their sportsbetting UI are pretty similar to each another



Anyway, best of luck to our bets tonight ! meanwhile Im watching PGL Walachia, no betting at all but only enjoying the game
In the Vitality - Faze match, I watched the entire Nuke map and came across Zywoo's masterpiece. What kind of awm did he use today lol. While on the ct side, Faze players could not do anything. In the Vertigo map, Zywoo was even better in terms of frag contribution and they won this map as well, so both of your bets were very successful, congratulations. I expect Mouz and Vitality to match in the  grand final.

The current look of ESL Pro League is like this.  Smiley

Complexity really haven't beaten NaVi for nothing. They are still in this fight and have reached the semi finals already. However I don't see their chance high against MOUZ. Bookies also give 1.42 odds for MOUZ win while it is 2.70 for Complexity. However I think Complexity will win 1 map at least. I don't expect them to give up too easily.

What are your thoughts on the other semi finalists?

This ended up pretty close though. VP was probably 1-2 game away from losing on the 3rd map but they somehow made that crazy comeback. Im not sure how they actually got into that situation lol as I didnt watch everything because of the UCL. Anyway I got my 4/4 and yeah it was a great bet. I cant actually believe that Faze managed to clean up Navi with 2 straight maps lol
That Ancient CT comeback from VP is wild, I grabbed their live odds in the second half while they were still down 8-11. The Mongolz kept doing force buys that kept VP's economy low enough to be broken in the next buy round, but they're always getting outplayed by VP and failed to get a single one even with a man advantage.

Faze almost threw that second map away from 11-6 to 12-12. Navi did their best to force OT in the second half, but Faze woke up to deny a third map.

I also fell for BetBoom, they're close to 2-0ing FlyQuest once they had the lead in the second half of Mirage, and then it all fell apart.

The Navi vs. Faze rematch might be a toss-up, but I like Faze's chances after Complexity stunned Navi from the group stage.

Regardless of the small odds, the VP and G2 series are the only ones i'll be betting on due to an ESL promotion, and i'm avoiding the Team Liquid series as FlyQuest can force the upset.

So in the end it was Betboom that ended up not making it to the next round. I thought it would be easy 4/4 obviously favourites would win but yeah Betboom literally sucker punch me lol. Im probably gonna do another parlay for the next 4 games trying to hit another 4/4. G2, VP, Team Liquid and probably Faze Clan again. Navi seems promising though but I got burned on the last one for not sticking with Faze Clan so I'll probably gonna stick with them on the next game

So any thoughts on the first 4 playoff round of 16?
I also like those four teams to advance, but i'm more confident on Faze and BetBoom. The odds on G2 and VP are too low, it's too risky when these two recently lost to weaker teams.

Hey folks, how are you? Not that much action this time for Dota 2. But I have seen this thread[1] on reddit of Dota 2 about the come back of TNC Dota 2 and I just want to know what do you think about it? is this for real? Will Kuku and the old TNC members will be taken back by the TNC organization or they'll start with a new roster? If I'll be the one to answer and do changes on it, I'd hire kuku not as a player but as the coach of the team. He seems to be an effective coach and he'd share his experience to the players and I'd add some new young bloods on it probably the younger ones who's a carry and mid lane as they're more aggressive and fearless. The replies on that thread are actually fun to read.

For those people who do know TNC or simply on SEA then for sure they are really that eager or wanting to see for this team to come back and i have seen that announcement on have already the roster but it seems
those covered or shadows look familiar and pretty sure that there are really some of those former members that would really be joining up on the team on which i could say that this is really that looks interesting.
They would be keeping on making up those kind of switching up for testing out for the team to have that more capability on lasting up more or longer on those tourneys or majors or whatsoever.
When it comes to support then TNC does have that kind of high impression but of course lets see if their new roster would really be able to build up that hype of their comeback.
I don't even think that silhouette has something to do with their actual roster. It's just like a display and there's no relation to the actual players that they're about to hire/rehire. What I like on this team is that they're eager to get achievements rather than switching rosters from time to time if they're unsuccessful. They're hiring coaches that are better to help them than of players to replace one another. Because compared to BLR, they're going to break momentums and we've seen that switching players everytime they fail to achieve success to a tournament, it's not going to work at all. I am not expecting a lot anymore with this team because like many have expected when Abed goes back to the SEA with BLR, instead of successes, they've got a lot of failures even til' now with that visa issue to PGL.

Got some updates about the current tournament which is the EPL Season 18. Mouz is doing good not until they beg off to continue on this tournament because of the conflict of schedule for another tournament which is the PGL Wallachia Season 1.
They're so lucky to participate in that tournament after Tundra failed to secure their visa, and OG declined the invite due to them having other plans.
That's true, there is another team that can't secure VISA for this tournament and that's Blacklist International.

In conclusion, they will be out of this tournament and Azure Ray is going to secure and replace the slot that's for them. What lucky teams indeed.

Therefore, Mouz and Azure Ray are already an official part of this tournament. Too bad that Blacklist can't participate on this one because AFAIK, this is going to be their biggest tournament participation.

Blacklist International couldn't secure visas for PGL DOTA 2 Wallachia Season #1, despite multiple extended deadlines.

With no other SEA teams holding visas to attend the tournament, Azure Ray has stepped in as Blacklist’s replacement, fully prepared to join the event.

I'm not sure about the updated Vitality logo, and yeah it used to be white and yellow. Maybe they just wanted to update their logo including their merchandise, some teams do it almost every year.

Obviously, the latter has a better prize pool than of the former and that's why they have to adjust. And this tournament is about to happen in 3 days time.

With whopping $1M in prize pool, this is a tier 1 tournament and will be participated by regional best teams that have qualified for it. The best teams are here, Falcons, Team Spirit, GG, Team Liquid, XG and many more. 16 teams to be exact.

This season of ESL Pro League had more upsets than expected like Navi losing to Complexity, then some of the good teams (Heroic, FURIA, and ENCE) failing to qualify. Still, the playoff situation is looking spicy, specifically for the side of Faze/Monte, the winner faces Navi and Vitality.  Tongue


So any thoughts on the first 4 playoff round of 16?

Im probably gonna stick with G2, VP, BetBoom and Faze Clan though but yeah I personally think it could go both ways on G2 vs BIG. This game has the potential to go either way. The only thing that I could be sure off is probably Faze Clan -1.5

Anyway wahts the story with Vitality logo though, I could have sworn that their logo wasnt 'golden' before? Am I day dreaming or something

The Group B matches have also finished in the ESL Pro League. The qualifiers are Vitality, TheMongolz, BetBoom and G2.

Vitality were no surprise as they were one of the strongest teams there. G2 made me surprised by barely making it. I mean they had to play last chance after being beaten by TheMongolz and M80.  Sad  I hope to see G2 getting more competitive in later stages.

TheMongolz were really surprising to me. I didn't know about them much and found out they ranked up from 50th to 16th in less than a year. Impressive! They look really consistent and I wonder what they can do more later.
I also didn't see that upset coming from the Mongolz, and they're probably lucky to face a shaky side of G2 at the time. They'll face the winner of the GamerLegion/Virtus.Pro series in the playoffs, both teams aren't doing great, but it won't be easy to defeat any of these two.

Another organization on SEA huh, not that really excites me and on top of that, why would they ever want to re-sign their old members when they can get better players.
I am just speculating if they're going to re-sign their old members but most likely that they won't. It's best to have a revamp of their roster instead of welcoming their old line up because it seems that most of the older players don't really have that angst anymore. The young talents have a better future but with the help of the veterans to play as a coach or analyst will do the thing for them. With Riyadh masters and other majors having bigger prize pools now probably have attracted the management to be back at it again. I am amazed on the comments on the sub-reddit thread because it's true that they've been on their momentum until the pandemic came.

Anyway I kinda want new organization on MENA though, the region is newer compared to other packed region and obviously Falcons wont be competing on any qualifiers from that region because they will be directly invited so that leave alot of opportunity for other team to grab the qualifiers

On top of that, there isnt any rules that stated TNC wont be able to compete in MENA. All they got to do is relocate their base onto MENA region then they are set
IMHO, Leviatan, the South American team with kpii and the team where Taiga was a former support should move to MENA. However, the team management is from there. But who knows if there are other organizations that are willing to go and start with their dota 2 team or some old organizations that has been out lately and will come back and start with the MENA region. As for TNC, I don't think that they'll relocate to MENA because the cost of operating a team there is much costlier than operating in their motherland which is the Philippines.
