I guess OG thought that they can handle Magnus in second game. Really did not expect them to lose 2:0, this is for me the biggest surprise of the tournament.

Vici getting destroyed on map 1.

I couldn't watch the game as i was at work and i am also totally surprised that OG lost that clearly to Team Spirit i always thought that OG might pull out some miracle group fighting performances again like they did in TI 8 and TI 9 but this time they where just to far away of the top teams in terms of performance and they don't have the same players anymore of course. I expected OG to reach the Grand Final through the lower bracket and to face PSG.LGD there but well that will not happen anymore.

T1 looked very strong in game 1 against Vici, but Vici managed to come back from a 0-1 against EG yesterday, so everything is still possible.

bookies making bank thanks to Team Spirit upset today...what was the moneyline for Spirit? anyone knows?

I capitalized on that. I put a small stake on Spirit to win against OG at 2.65x odds . I was kinda surprised with how much dominant they were against the former champions but seriously they really played a dominant game.



Have my money on T1 to win against Vici now.  Cheesy

btw, why didn't OG ban Magnus or WW in game 2? they destroyed them in game 1 so surely you gotta ban one of them, no? and TORONTO's ez game in chat, heh! that's gonna become a new meme for sure  Grin

VP - Team Spirit in a few hours gonna be a good match. Over 2.5 maps sounds good, both CIS teams know each other very well

Anyway taking over 2.5 maps for T1 vs Vici Gaming tomorrow
same but in a single

About OG vs TS then no doubt i would hands down for OG.
Sad ending. Team Spirit took down OG for two games straight with an "ez game" all chat by torontotokyo.  Tongue

There's no more 3-peat hopeful for this TI10. Team Spirit's performance is awesome and they're the dark horse of this tournament. Let's see if they'll take down Virtus.Pro after T1 and VG's game.

I think in terms of mental state, VP is on the state because TS' just came from 2 straight games although they have a few hours of rest.

Same here took a beating on EG and IG.

Taking my chances on Damwon to win @1.65 vs FunPlus Phoenix, Damwon looked solid on their last meeting and I doubt FunPlus Phoenix will bounce back as they looked a bit underwhelming. I'm tempted to put a bet on T1 vs VG but I feel like it's anyone's series after that reverse sweep from VG.

Not so good day yesterday for me, favourites were much more convincing than I expected.

I am on OG ml today which seems almost like free money to me.
2:0 is probably ok as well, but a little too risky for me. I am thinking Vici will win the other game 2:1, so taking them as well. Chinese DOTA looks strongest at the moment.

VP is good but not really enough to beat up LGD..I have betting on this team since the start of thiS TI and did make out some good profits even though odds arent really that high but at least its sustainable.

Considering that PSG.LGD is the heavy favourites to win the TI then I guess its not really a surprise anymore if they beat VP up.

on tommorows match which T1 VS EG  then i would go for EG but t1 isnt bad either of a choice but not would really be as strong as EG but lets see.

I guess you didnt watch game 3 huh, Vici Gaming won game 3 and EG has been eliminated. It will be T1 against Vici Gaming tomorrow and for the record, T1 won 2-0 against VP in the group stage while Vici Gaming lost to VP in the upper bracket so yeah I guess T1 has higher chances to win tomorrow but the odds on sportsbet is kinda even

Anyway taking over 2.5 maps for T1 vs Vici Gaming tomorrow as well as OG -1.5. Pretty confident that it will be 2-0 for OG

Dang..

When the game was already on 1-1 on VG vs EG then i havent seen the third game honestly and i had checked out https://liquipedia.net/dota2/The_International/2021
but they did show 2-1 which is EG was the winner but now its already corrected or i had just seen the wrong one.So i presumed that they had advanced on next game which is neither against with t1 or alliance.

Well thats a mistake.. thanks for clarifying out.

About OG vs TS then no doubt i would hands down for OG.

Any good market suggestion for this last one coming up in couple of minutes- PSG vs Virtus Pro? PSG seems to be kinda dominant throughout so far and seem likes they are gonna take this one easily as well. Taking PSG is not of much value so any suggestions? Plan is to gonna go low on this one.

Second time in a row they screw me over. I'll stay away from Secret now. They'll probably go on and win the whole thing without dropping a single game  Lips sealed

Actually IG had them at one point in second round but after that what a recovery they made. so many less mistakes and IG were totally clueless. Really too much dominant.

I'm watching live right now and would bet on PSG. They have chosen strong heroes in the 1st map:

Faith_bian -       TIDEHUNTER
Ame -                LUNA
NothingToSay-    KUNKKA
y -                     VISAGE
XinQ -                 DOWNBREAKER

1st map: 15 min. PSG.LGD is leading.

1st map is over: PSG.LGD is a winner. The overall score in match so far - PSG.LGD vs Virtus Pro 1:0. Two maps have left but  I think LGD will win again and next they will fight against Secret.

Going to bed and will check   my prediction tomorrow.

Did anyone saw 100 thieves vs SKT T1 match of League of legends worlds?

Didn't check the betting odds of the match but it was easy to predict the match, there was no chance 100 thieves beating SKT.
Odds are in favor of T1 I remember the live odds are hovering around 1.2 to 1.3 after the drafting phase. I only caught the first few mins of the match then stopped watching after the first blood gank on the bot.


Locked in my parlay for T1 and EG @2.06, T1 -1.5 should've been my initial bet but unfortunately stake isn't offering any handicaps for the match. Very confident on T1 to win the match and even sweep the series since they have the better individual players. Same goes for EG even though they struggled quite a bit in the groups, I doubt they'll do the same mistake throughout the playoffs and the h2h favors EG as they took down VG during the animajor.



I think T1 will reach finals in this Worlds.
And tomorrow only 4 teams will compete with each other.
- Cloud 9
- DWG ( 2020 Worlds winners)
- RGE
- FPX

I'd say DWG will will all their matches but I haven't checked the betting odds of those games.

In addition, Abed is a skilled and talented player which can use a variety of heroes in his pool. Limiting his choices to only three (3) heroes in the game vs VG is like limiting his overall talents.
He still provided a lot of impact in game 3, but i agree his pool today wasn't the best, regardless, the rest of the team got outplayed so hard,, not much you can do once Spectre and Lycan go unchecked in late game

Same bet for me but I am afraid Secret will 2:0 this one.
Painful

i'm surprised no one's talking about the big game today IG - Team Secret...early game seems to be going on Secret's favor with an average of 1 kill per minute (19 kills in 19min), Puppey's Enchantress and Nisha's TA are wrecking wrecking havoc, this could snowball out of control cos Mantu¿s Monkey king keeps destroying IG

i've got Over 2.5 maps x1.9 here, hopefully Team Secret won't go 2-0 again...were they saving strats for the Main Event or what? looking too dominant atm  Lips sealed
Same bet for me but I am afraid Secret will 2:0 this one. They managed to get enchantress and TA once again after stomp in game one. I just hope IG leaned their lesson and they will adapt better in second map. Really thought this one will go the distance before it started.

PSG.LGD big favorites in the evening game but odds are bad. I am thinking of taking Virtus.pro +1.5 @1.75.

poor EG. Two of my favorite teams got eliminated today, EG and Alliance  Sad

As far as I know, I think all NA teams have been eliminated in the International now? The problem with EG stems from their team fights and decision-making. I mean, Arteezy is definitely a gifted player as he can farm well and be at the top of the net worth. But when it comes to team fights, sometimes I slightly question his decisions on being too aggressive.

As of typing this, they're on the draft phase and it's making me excited and at the same time worried whoever lose this best of 3 and goes home with $800,400 as 9th-12th placer still not bad, what a prize.

Yeah the price pool of the TI is really huge and 800k for a 12th place is a lot of money. No wonder that the preparation of the teams is basically only focused on the TI because the other tournaments even the majors have a way lower price pool. To the match of T1 vs. Alliance i think that T1 is the favorite here. They showed a great performance so far and even managed to take away a game from PSG. LGD which is the big favorite to win the TI this year, while Alliance's performance have been pretty disappointing so far and they went directly into the lower bracket. The first 15 minutes of game 1 look still pretty even at the moment though.
T1 just won against Alliance. Alliance going home with $800,400 while T1 is securing $1,000,500 and will wait for the winner of the match between Evil Geniuses and Vici Gaming. Another good game to watch. As usual for the early game, you can't just predict the game even if there's more kills from one team to another and with tower pushes.

Because at that period of time, there's not that much action but knowing the situation goes with the mid-game. Around 25 mins and so on because that's likely we can see who's at the edge and has the upperhand.
