Last day later for the group stages of Animajor. I think that there are three teams that are in danger to be out of the tournament and will get a direct invite to the airport. Tongue

(Well this has been a common meme in Dota 2 tournaments.)
Those teams are the ff;

Team Spirit
Beastcoast
Team Liquid

I think Spirit and Liquid will go to a best-of-1 tiebreaker. Team Liquid just need to win a game against EG, easier said than done but there's still hope.

even beastcoast still have a small chance of making it to top 6 but they need to 2-0 Nigma and hope that EG beats TL 2-0. A lot can happen in the next couple of hours.

c'mon, Team Liquid

I don't know about the Team Spirit and Beastcoast but I feel bad that Team Liquid isn't performing really well this major, too bad that they got a new roster of players because the original team made one themselves.

Beastcoast and Team Spirit for sure since team Liquid 2-0 Team Spirit which they are currently tied on score. Team Liquid really have a bad game on this group stage considering they are really strong on the EU group stage. Maybe there strategy with Sumail is not working anymore on much stronger team on different region other than EU.

they dropped the ball on vertigo (round 26 was key, up 14-11, they lost to g2 half buy and went on to lose the map), inferno is G2's turf, so... but G2 are looking really solid, this might be their tournament.

Yeah saw that. Vitality needs improvement in so many levels now. They need to get shox showing some form otherwise it's gonna be same for them. G2 actually were pretty solid today and everyone played their part well.

watching Vp - NIP right now. Would like to see the former against Vitality in the playoffs, Zywoo vs. Device

NIP had a tough time in first map but they made it somehow. That match was screaming over 2.5 maps after watching that first map. VP weren't on their best but they NIP were even poor than them.

Zywoo I think in previous match played very well. I think other players in Vitality need to step up like for example shox. Shox was also one of the key players of Vitality.t's just that Zywoo became the face player of Vitaltiy but actually shox also used to pull out crazy rounds earlier. Right now they are 1 map down -_-

Yesterday there were some nice matches in the dota 2 animajor. The second match of Team Nigma vs. PSG.LGD was also a great example that you should never place a bet only because the casters and the analysts tell you that a team will definitely win the next round after the draft happened. Nigma won the first game against PSG.LGD and after the draft in their second match everyone said that PSG.LGD basically has no chance against the hero lineup of Team Nigma. Then of course PSG.LGD completely destroyed team nigma in that match which just again that there are no safe bets.

No one should be making bets based on the caster's prediction, they're only doing it as a way to hype up the series. Once you've watched tons of dota games you'll know that teams can still lose no matter how good their composition is compared to the enemy's lineup. Even though they're likely to win because of the draft, sometimes there's just way too many factors that could heavily affect the state of the game like positioning of certain heroes or decision making on the buybacks.

Also have TNC to take at least one map vs PSG @1.8 they need to at least win one map here if they want to stay in contention for the second upper bracket spot since there's currently a 4 way tie between them, VG, EG and Team Nigma.

Edit : Rip, LGD's movements are just way too good and TNC getting caught multiple times.

LGD is so good on this major. There support is pretty solid that a pos4 can gank core hero on the side of TNC. Nothingtosay and Ame performance is very consistent too that's why they are the leading on this group stage. I believe Nigma or EG will get the second on this group stage. I wonder if LGD can maintain this on playoffs once top seed on each region will already play. I'm rooting for alliance on this Major.

also what a game LNZ had. ztr back to academy and I didn't had much expectations from LNZ but he did very good. He pulled off crazy last rounds for NIP to push the match to OT and he did well in Nuke as well.

oh yeah, he showed up with some great clutches. Good to see that if Rez or Device are having a bad day, Lnz or Hampus can still carry the team. plopski still the weakest player in the squad

Yeah, it's been a while since Plopski played some good CS but everyone gets their bad phase. He is still a good player actually but yeah right now the weakest it seems. He used to provide good advantages earlier but not much now.

for today i'm hoping to see a good 'ol Zywoo showcase of sensational CS. I have VIT to win and NIP - VP over maps. Virtus.Pro seems to be recovering their good form after a crappy run some weeks ago. Ovp for NIP, Inf or D2 for VP and Ancient as the decider? i like the sound of that

NIP - VP would be very interesting.

Nuke for Heroic is a free win most of the time so

I agree already took them to win map 2 for 1.5 crazy how they've won 13/14 times in the last 3 months and 16/19 in the last 6.

NIP 16 - 7 Heroic

me:

Nuke was all NIP, they had good momentum on CT side but frankly I also thought that Heroic would answer back with 2nd map win and the stats they have in Nuke but they failed. also what a game LNZ had. ztr back to academy and I didn't had much expectations from LNZ but he did very good. He pulled off crazy last rounds for NIP to push the match to OT and he did well in Nuke as well. They have some good players in academy as well. Gonna watch some young ninjas matches from now on.

I also have the draw on Nigma vs Liquid it's unlikely this series ends on a 2-0 since these two know each other very well. They had one series during the Singapore major that ended on a 2-0 but Team Nigma was at a big disadvantage to begin with since their coach was standing in for MC.

Nice. Btw, have you try Sportsbet's Betsy yet? i think they're offering better handicap odds than the regular sportsbook, although their 1X2 odds in this particular tournament are pretty bad. For instance, today I have Nigma ml at 1.8 vs. TNC, betsy odds are 1.75. I also booked Liquid - Nigma (draw) at 2 odds, betsy are offering 1.90

What a coincidence, I just placed my first 2 bets on Betsy this morning. Main odds provider had all DOTA Animajor games wrong so I did not have other option. The pattern is very small but here are my first impressions:
* odds are just different, I placed a bet on OB Neon to win 2nd map @1.85 this morning while on main Sportsbet page it was just 1.65, I noticed before that they have worse odds for 1x2
* can't combine on regular multi ticket, meaning no insurance on my x5 multi
* very low max bet, my first bet was capped at 30EUR, good since it lost, and my Animajor multi is capped at 45EUR, On Sportsbet I think I would not have a limit for Animajor or it would be high enough that I don't feel it, above 40 mBTC for sure since that is how much I had and could check with max bet button
* don't like that it places bets in FIAT, meaning there is some BTC-FIAT conversion going on and I don't know the fees connected with the process

Next matches in the IEM Start soon.

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Heroic great match to wach im made popcorn Grin

im think Heric will win.

This is a good matchup and right now I think Heroic are playing much better CS than Nip who are still struggling to adjust but honestly they have a crazy team. This could also be a match where they find their proper form so not so sure if Heroic gonna win this 100%. Device vs Cadian willbe fun to watch tho..although device is like AWP godbut Cadian also tends to surprise at times.

Interesting. NiP picked Mirage today cos that was the decider in their last meeting and they won 16-8. Their best map is Ovp but the struggled a lot last week so i kinda understand why they went with Mrg. Nuke for Heroic is a free win most of the time so, if everything goes as planned, my Over 2.5 should hit (: EDIT*of couse Heroic would win Mrg first half 11-4 Roll Eyes
