I've updated the Calendar in the OP! The top 3 Esports will have their biggest event of 2021 this month...i'm stoked!!

Worlds 2021 Play-in start tomorrow and i've already placed my tickets:




Have no idea about LOL so had some extra money and put them all on toma instincts. First one already won with LNG winning against Hanhwa and now waiting for the Cloud9 one. Cloud9 seems to be doing quite well in previous meetings as I checked. Let's see how long I can go on backing toma bets.

no audience allowed in the TI. "The International 2021 Ticket Sales Canceled" https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/2870472829301626335

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


The International 10 has already been postponed several times due to the pandemic. Valve decided to hold it this time without an audience due to an increase in the incidence of Covid-19 and the introduction of new quarantine restrictions in Bucharest.  In the playoffs we expect to find 16 teams out of two groups while the main event will be subjected to double elimination which means elimination after two defeats. I would like to remind that this year’s prize fund  exceeds $40 million, much to fight for even without an audience.

Nice. A big sigh of relief for the fans and for us neutrals who want to see all the teams with their main roster for this event (:
Yes, it's a relief for all and what a pleasant surprise. Ceb is really the person that makes the team alive even in the bad situation that they are facing, he's really needed for them on TI10.
The liquipedia page was updated with the latest information as well. I think Ceb is prepared to go blind after TI ends lol, well yeah he could afford a set of new eyes from donor anyway if he win another TI or atleast get to top 3  Tongue. Dont take this seriously, its a joke lol
Haha, I hope that his situation is much better than now because of what he have gone through and there won't be any big effect on his eyes.

Im not a fan of LOL, probably going to take T1 outright bet for this just because I want Faker to win another one. Well atleast I've got something to watch while I wait for TI

I've updated the Calendar in the OP!

While you are at it, Roobet added sportsbook and offer esports bet as well. Might want to add that to OP

Well that is what all matters in the end, whether your bets are hitting or not.  Cheesy Wink Still you are doing kinda good IMO given how unpredictable CS is going on right now. I hope this keeps on going on as we know how much we have lost in those unpredictable CS games earlier.

Yeah today start the Intel Extrem Master m happy have time to watch it maybe we see some underdogs  Shocked
first match paiN Gaming vs Extra Salt im dont now about pai how they play butt i now Extra salt have a solid team and play good cs:go
Triumph vs TeamOne i feel a bit compassion for Triumph  Roll Eyes they had no chance.
Evil Geniuses vs GODSENT  great match to watch Godsent is the better team im think they win

Not much exciting games today IMO, EG and Godsent is a good fixture but its not a battle where I expect to see something spectacular but well its a good one to watch if you wanna kill some time. I hope EG get this btw, they are kinda on a bad run now.

Where are the OG fans at? We've got some good news, I saw it on the Facebook page of Wykrhm Reddy that they're going to play in complete roster so Ceb is there. <3

Excited for Worlds play ins tomorrow, do you guys have any leans ? some of the odds are tempting since the bookies can't measure the level of the other teams when it comes to international play.

I'm thinking of LNG to win vs HLE and UOL to win vs DFM.

LNG's playoff run during the summer split will be put to the test if it's actually legit or just a fluke. And I see some value in UOL since I remember these guys did well last time plus they have the experience so imo it's worth risking a unit or two on a slight underdog.

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.

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
