Very good news for Dota 2 players and fans. The International 10 is all set and it'll happen by this upcoming month of August. It was announced on "Icefrog's" facebook page who's known as Wykrhm Reddy.

I am happy that we can finally see The International on air again, I think this is a bigger prize pool than the last time, not to mention that there will be a battle pass before the event starts which contributes to the prize pool even more, I hope that this is the only The International that will have two battle passes before happening because that can only mean that we are going to have another pandemic if a second delay happens.

This is now going to happen. It's been a year and we should probably be on the TI 11 if it's not because of the covid-19. But at least Valve has decided to release a schedule and we've got lan events that had happened already.

The first one was in Singapore, the first major and lan event during the pandemic.

Damnnn, OG couldn't even take 1 map against Astralis. They were playing really well before that match but I guess that was also because they were not against top-tier teams.
The gap between the top 5 teams and OG still too big, but I also heard from the casters that they weren't playing in Bootcamp Undecided

anyhow, DreamLeague EU is back and i have Tundra - [A] over maps at 2. BOL!

I got @1.57 for Tundra +1.5. I feel it's worth it and hopefully, it hits.

BIG - Complexity and fnatic - mouse. Don't feel like placing any bets. First game is a massive toss up and if i place a ticket there i might as well ask support for an address to donate some mbtc. Second one looks like it could be a clean 32-0 for Mouse if they take the game seriously cos Fnatic are playing like a tier 4 team, painful to watch

Very much agree, based on their last few matchups (BIG vs COL), it looks like 50:50. And Fnatic are trash, but I need to check it 1 more time whether they're still trash or not Grin

yes, there is no trace of the old fnatic team anymore, it is not enjoyable to watch. The mouse will win the game tomorrow comfortably. I am watching the big vs complexity match for now. The map chosen by the complexity on the nuke map, the match is contentious even in the first map, if the nuke map wins big, they will easily win in dust2.

Cloud 9 - DWG was hands down the best game in MSI so far. Man, I was one click away from putting money on C9 to Win at 7 odds after they got their first couple of kills, but i hesitated, ffs!! Lips sealed

Anyhow the match was in touching distance of going to 3 maps, close but no cigar

good win, but imo nothing to write home about. Far from their best cs after godvice left, i feel like playing like they did yesterday will not get them that far in Flashpoint

Sorry I mean device of course, I remember his face but mixed his name up. I'd say Nip is a major downgrade but maybe Sweden and his longterm GF living there, it was enough to motivate him. Slightly ironic when this game is so online currently but I guess these guys are not poor with so many prior wins and he has this luxury to do as he likes, he can make this choice if he feels like and Im being too negative on this new Nip squad when they are rated 13 in the world right now.

Astralis have been more shaky, I think they'd be on top again in a LAN environment even missing dupreh but OG are outperforming now considering they arent top 10

Dupreeh played today and even though they did look a little shaky at times. They still managed to beat a decent and challenging OG team which were favorites. 2-0 against the favorites, thats pretty good. Apparently the team doesnt really want to play with Bubzkji but are stuck with him and are being professional. He has been pretty good for them at the moment. Obviously not the Dev1ce level but still stable enough to play with the team. This does put a lot more pressure on Dupreeh to frag though.

I dont know how to predict Dota but in CS a good team dynamic is like having 6 players, any note of that dynamic improving is worth advancing the team in possible wins.

NBK got sidelined which is silly as he is one of the best all round players but the French teams are messy stuck in the mud with little sign they will come back to the top again despite much talent they cannot sew it together.

I still have to favor Astralis in this one, they're a solid team.

What happened to Vitality? It seemed like they were the best in the world..now they are world 11th and losing to DBL Poney

crazy stuff, not that they lost but that NBK is in dbl poney, wtf? when?? 🤣

Vitality still have a chance to make it far into the tournament in the Lower Bracket, but their recent form is just so bad

anyway, as expected, another stomp from MAD Lions against PSG...their two games in this group were literally free money so, thanks for those odds, bookmakers 👍
Big day tomorrow, Cloud9 could get KO'd if they poop the bed

Astralis win map 1(inferno) against OG after the game went into double overtime. I have recently started following LoL and I used to play Dota long ago and follow the pro scene, wanted to play something refreshing so switched to LoL to give it a chance. Still have no clue whats going on so, following the pro scene is not happening. Grin

Next goes Team Vitality vs Double Poney should be very easy for Vitality.
Astralis vs OG that gone be a hard match im dont now who will win hard to say, maybe Astralis is the better team.

I would probably pick Astralis in that match. For me they are still a great team even though their performance wasn't so great lately. They still have some decent strategies and might surprise us again.

What are your picks for the Intel Extreme Masters Season XVI this summer?

Astralis to win for me

quite generous odds considering OG 2-0'd astralis last month. Good value on OG, but i'm a sucker for Astralis and high odds so, low stake here and hoping that I see something different and exciting from the danes

I'd like Astralis to win as well..but with Dev1ce not in the team anymore. I'm not sure if they hold the same magic as they did before. Should be an interesting match never the less. I havent seen much of flamez either. So, Im looking forward to watching the match up.

I went for OG +1.5 @1.42 and OG ML @1.96. I watched most of OG's recent matches and they were pretty damn good. BOL!

MSI continues today and i'll be backing MAD lions again

they absolutely destroyed PSG in the last game so those odds, yeah idk why they're so high. A few days ago you could make an argument that Mad lions didn't know what to expect from Psg which could explain the high odds, but after seeing the tremendous difference in level in Groups Day 1 the current odds seem to be a gift from the LoL gods

I thought you were talking about DOTA for a second there, holy shit. I have seen OG and I think that their performance is outstanding but I still have to favor Astralis in this one, they're a solid team.

Ok Gambit play better like Natus, butt with a bit luck they can win.

More important than luck, it's about momentum. And I think Navi was really on fire and had pretty good momentum. It's sad for flamie but b1t is currently playing way better than him in Navi.

Speaking of momentum, It could be over now for Navi and I do think Gambit are still able to beat Navi in another match. Or maybe not Roll Eyes

Anyway, it's a good series with an unexpected result. GG
