In the comments they make a vital point that the fault was not on the Nip side but via the host server themselves.   I dont know if thats true but if provable it explains why in this case they get the rematch where lewis is also correct nobody would really care if the smaller team had a problem.
and things escalated very quickly on social media https://twitter.com/jonasgundersen/status/1394752609634951170
I feel like there's been nothing but complaints and controversy around Flashpoint 3 so far. Shitty production, average casters messing up when they're on the mic, and now this  Lips sealed

I prefer taking OG for the entertainment and this is probably Team Liquid's series to lose given their current standing at the table.
I'm not sure but i think TL needs the win to secure a spot in the Major group stage. And considering you could meet teams like Fnatic, Navi or Invictus Gaming in the Wild Card round, makes me think TL would want to avoid that round as much as possible
Anyway, Over 2.5 seems good value too but i've said it before, i can't trust OG bots :-P Nevertheless, best of luck 👍

My bet will probably lose but with OG's one last chance at qualifying at the major I think there's some value @2.16. The over seems to be a good alternative based on most of their results this season but I prefer taking OG for the entertainment and this is probably Team Liquid's series to lose given their current standing at the table.

Hopefully they don't troll around with their picks like last time and stick with their comfort heroes. There's also this interesting tweet where OG have a very small chance at getting a TI invite. Imagine if they go on winning this game, the tiebreakers and end up getting first on the major.

Device with Nip vs Anonymo Smiley   he was a large section of astralis firepower for sure.   In the comments they make a vital point that the fault was not on the Nip side but via the host server themselves.   I dont know if thats true but if provable it explains why in this case they get the rematch where lewis is also correct nobody would really care if the smaller team had a problem.

Definitely relevant to discuss freak outcomes, people used to force such things hopefully not so much anymore.   Stunna at present a desk host once played in a C9 game for such reasons, he is admin/manager and was one of the lower MG ranks.  Suffice to say they didnt win that one because of outside interference.


 
By rights Bears should take this game now, they done well including winning with pistols vs rifles.  Good underdog game, like that team though Im completely wrong in thinking Godsent are ranked higher (odds were with them anyhow) and both teams formed in Jan apparently.   Rating Jonji vital here, awp is often pivotal to team strat

I failed in my bet but RBG did a good job of coming close, especially on Dust2 I was surprised because before map start I'd expect Team1 to get that because its an aim map less strat.

Bears to win tonight match could be a good bet I reckon and odds were against them vs Godsent.   I dont think Team1 can beat O PLANO but  plano are new and ranks of the two are similar, small bet 3 maps I guess

Dota 2 dreamleague is running at the moment and the first match-up was already very close with a 2-1 victory of viking.gg vs into the breach and a game 3 that almost went for 70 minutes and where into the breach had the upper hand for quite some time and already looked like the winner but viking.gg made a comeback with some great teamfights that they pulled off at the end.
Upcoming matches today are Team secret vs. brame and nigma vs. tundra..both matches have pretty clear favorites with team secret and nigma but i think brame has a chance as team secret is not performing well in this season so far.

EDIT* Cloud 9 on the verge of elimination. After beating RNG earlier today, they shit the bet against the worst team in the Rumble that had a 0-7 record prior to the match 😂🤣


meh, time for some Dota then. We're entering the last week of DPC CN and both IG and EHOME need a win no matter what and then wait for the tiebreakers to see if they qualify to the Major. Some bookies have EHOME as the favs by a small margin, some others, especially the sharp books, have IG as the favorite...i think i'll book the Over maps at 1.9...anyone keen to share some comments about this game?
Crazy turn of events lol, they looked good at the start and now they're most likely going to get eliminated since PSG only need one win to seal the deal and one of their two games will be against Pentanet which should be close to a guaranteed win.

Tough loss on the CN upper division game, I couldn't watch the series but it seems like IG had the better drafts on both games.

Anyways I got RNG to win vs DK @1.99 just like last time, I really enjoy watching these two go at one another like it's one of those anime fights.

Team one vs RBG Esprorts im think Team One will win.

Most probable but the odds are 3 to 1 against RBG and for both these teams they lost 2-0 to Bad news Bears.   Team one did get a more consistent frag vs bears but RBG actually got more rounds which is what counts for more in the end [eg. 16-12 vs liquid aint bad at all).   I dont know either team well but I will go with a 3 map outcome setup for this match as I think its possible either can win despite the fairly large swing againt RBG
   Didnt Train just get removed from main maps, RBG's worst map so should help their case.  If they lose Nuke the dream is over :p apparently its both teams best map

i'm digging the odds on Gambit @1.44
*sigh* i had Over 26.5 rounds in map 1 but Gambit simply did not show up in their own pick, their 2nd best map :/

and PSG with two tremendous upset today against quite possibly the next MSI finalists  Roll Eyes They are now on top of Cloud 9, ffs! who saw that coming?
I think i'll skip tomorrow's matches. I'll keep an eye on the EPIC CIS league, we'll have Spirit - Gambit, a banger!
Yeah that was unexpected from the side of PSG, will be skipping MSI as well since I feel like there's more upsets incoming. Also looking forward on the CIS derby between those two since i'm digging the odds on Gambit @1.44, with how Team Spirit is struggling these past few weeks Gambit should be able to handle them quite easily. Combining it with VP for a small odds boost @1.6 not much value but i'll take the extra odds I can get.  Cheesy

I guess bookies are expecting a close game now that PSG is on the blue side and they'll have pick priority.

this time Nigma wins the round because of having a new core ILTW compliment with Miracle unlike w33 they have a different set of skills also miracle is good at mid not as a safe lane.
Nigma fans must be thrilled to have ITLW in the active roster. One game and he's already proving he's up to the task

happy 100 pages! (:

I'm backing OG later
heh! we both got burned thx to Nigma  Smiley not sure if i'll add another ticket with OG bots in it, they're a coin toss right now :/



I didn't try to make a bet within this match because it's too much risky than the other bets imagine the fight of the last Ti these two TI champ fight with all of their skills still OG wins the game but this time Nigma wins the round because of having a new core ILTW compliment with Miracle unlike w33 they have a different set of skills also miracle is good at mid not as a safe lane.

The draft of the Nigma they get all of the OG best hero and it's a bad draft that Topson gets a hoodwink mid it's does not bring too much impact.

Last time I backed them they lost and fell for it once again. Tongue OG shot themselves in the foot with their own drafts taking Hoodwink mid then the next game they went for Drow mid while Team Nigma went for the standard cores.

anyways, i only have one LoL ticket today and it's MAD Lions to win vs. PSG. Both teams have met three times in the MSI and so far it's a 3-0 record for the LEC team, yet the odds for MAD moneyline are still very generous at 1.6  Huh mind boggling
I also got MAD on my parlay @1.56 bit juiced but I still like it at those odds. I guess bookies are expecting a close game now that PSG is on the blue side and they'll have pick priority.

Today are the finals of the World of Warships tournament King of the Seas 12. The game is not so popular but the price money of 30,000 USD is quite huge. I would expect there will be 15,000 viewers. An Asian team called VOR is the favourite right now. So far I didn't see any betting on the games yet. It could be a nice addition for the bookmakers maybe. Not really playing the game myself but I like warships and I like to watch it. Would be cool to bet a little on the big matches.

Bad News Bears vs TeamOne right now seems like the bears will take it over 3 if not just 2 maps Smiley   Neither team doing terrible just a bit more experience and cohesion with bad news bears should pull them through any challenge.

I see a game coming in a few hours for the same contest summit qualifiers, thats paiN vs RBG.   But I dont recognize these players so it's one to watch more then bet maybe, qualifiers can include some obscure teams who have yet to prove themselves which might mean wild card performance and wins but I dont have any special info on these guys yet.

I'm backing OG later, I think whoever wins this one have a good chance at taking the major group stage spot and OG is probably more desperate to get every win possible since they failed to qualify last season and need to get every points they can get if they want to secure a spot to TI.


The game is about to happen within less than an hour, I'll be with OG too. They've only lost two series on this DPC season since the start of the tournament and since week 1. Although Nigma is also a strong team and one of the former TI champs, their roster has also became stronger with ILTW and good thing that they've removed their weakest link which is w33ha. He's not that effective anymore and that made them tie with OG in terms of the rankings in this tournament but whoever wins this series gets a better ranking.
