The only people who can beat the Brazilians reliably is the Brazilians themselves seems like, maybe its because these teams would be training against each other more often so relative to each other they are closer ranked then appears from purely world ranking vs every other nation.   Still its funny that Plano beat Furia in 2 maps despite a 40 rank disadvantage.
  This time I will favor Furia because the odds are decent for that and I dont know well enough that they cant pull it off but perhaps I'll hedge with 3 maps.   Often I find the hedge type bet is vital to staying profitable or sometimes late bets like if Furia lost the first 6 rounds then won the map, that can happen and would be nice odds probably.
  For an exact repeat of the last matches scoreline, its near 5 to 1 odds which seems like that should just be the bet I placed no further thought.   I'll kick myself later I guess, Plano do seem like a team who can ascend presuming they get on well to progress and practice etc.

**In BTC since 2013**
From e-sport to reality.
It is no longer the first time that virtual racing players have experienced racing in real cars and tracks.
This time it was professional players Kevin Siggy and Frederik Rasmussen driving a Formula E car.

Here is an account of their experience:

What a grand final that was and good to see RNG winning it all. I kind of feel bad for Damwon though I know they are the best team right now but that loss must've been rough when you're that close. Looking forward to the summer split and Worlds more entertaining matches to come. Cheesy

Moving on to some CSGO action i'll go for a small play on Spirit -1.5 vs K23 @1.55 the h2h stats says it all Spirit winning 9 out of 10 matches and I doubt it'll be any different since K23's results aren't that convincing.

Looking like Nip can take it in 2 maps, the map pick for G2 with inferno favors this possibility as its a high percentage winning map for G2 but also not a bad map for Nip either.    Its not clear how well the team with Device on it may be improved towards that possibility but the odds are pretty high against it so I think might be worth a go.

G2 are listed 5th in the world, didnt realize they were so competent; of course Niko but still a match to watch.   A learning bet for me perhaps but so far looking quite even between them.

''this is the best we've seen NiP play"

Hi guys, wanna post my bets for today's Flashpoint matches:

Astralis - mouz: My bet
G2 - NiP: My bet

Today's matches are rather controversial, so you can't immediately say who can win, but if you take into consideration the fact that Astralis and NiP have recently had roster changes and did not have serious Tier 1 matches, therefore I will place both bets on the favorites of the matches: mouz and G2 - both teams run with pretty good match stats, losing only to Gambit.  Wink

Anyway, RNG - DK, another one going to 5 games?
At the very least it'll probably go 3-1 i'm not too sure about 5 games on this series since RNG is like their kryptonite judging from how it went last time.

I'll oppose your prediction with this one. RNG is not Damwon's weakness, this meta is clearly part of it but the playstyle is very much opposite in both teams. It will most probably go up to game 5, or DK will finish it 3-0 or 3-1.

I was really hoping that OG would get relegated today. It was pretty close but they stay in upper division. How does the math work out for TI qualification? Can OG make it?
Same, it would've been interesting if OG did get relegated to the lower division.

I think the chances for them to win the TI qualifiers is very low since Team Liquid and Team Nigma still don't have enough points to secure an invite. Even if all the top 4 EU teams gets the invite it's still a tough road for OG since they'll be facing Brame, Tundra and probably some teams from the lower division.

Cats on Mars
RNG - PSG - O3.5 maps + Vitality moneyline @2.48
No sweat on the over  Cheesy I also took the same bet since I still remember that RNG loss during the rumble stage.
i went with something similar today https://i.ibb.co/Twv0Tb0/gg.png

sucks how Mad Lions just fell apart after that insanely good game 3. Game 4 felt like they were a bit overconfident and messed up the draft. Game 5 typical DWG stomp with Showmaker wreaking havoc with his 100% winrate Zoe. the highlight of the series? Ghost trolling BeryL lol 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 https://youtu.be/lVmz7g2rtmI?t=2407

Im just getting back into following dota2, is OG struggling hard with Ana back?


I also just started to watch dota 2 matches again on twitch but it seems that OG is pretty out of form as of now even now that Ana is back. I really expected them to win against Liquid but they but it was a clear win for liquid instead. They can still make their way to TI through the open qualifiers but the competition there will be very hard and even if they qualify for TI i don't think that they will reach the semi-final. I mean they are still very exciting to watch because they are playing in an unpredictable way and are also doing drafting heroes that no ones expects because they are not in the current meta but other teams have improved and are ahead of them now.
Give them some time because Ana came back to OG in last April 11 (https://www.hotspawn.com/dota2/news/ana-returns-to-og-for-second-dpc-season)

It would be needing some time to make those synchronize and unpredictable plays of the team.Yes, its a bit odd that we arent seeing some good comeback plays from OG but
this team doesnt stop to impress nor surprise the Dota world.

It would be good if we would see Jerax on the support side.Im not underestimating Saksa though but we can see the difference.

What do you mean mostly? I thought it is their whole youth team that took places of their first team. Actually after reading your post twice I guess you wanted to say the same but word "mostly" added some confusion for me Smiley
Technically you're correct they're all from the youth team but gpk and Kingslayer only started playing with the other three core players officially after they were all moved to the main team. I should've worded it better and used "half" instead of "mostly" sorry if that made you confused. 😅

Also it looks like Ceb can't handle the memes anymore and messaged the admin behind Secret's twitter account. For me I don't see anything wrong with the posts since OG likes to do it as well back then but now the tables have turned.

Yup, that is the one. To be absolutely fair I don't know enough about DOTA rivalries and player history to judge it correctly. That tweet can have totally different context depending on relations between players. If for instance couple of them played together at some time in history than that tweet is just good banter. If they don't know each other well than it is borderline too much even for me.

Also the tweet should have been just "Thanks for keeping the DPC streets clean @TeamLiquid" and video. The part after the comma "thank you for taking out the trash" is sort of explaining the joke to dim witted audience and ruins the flow for me.

Totally depends on the impression on how a certain individual would really trying to look on that line which it might be that offensive for the team itself or just not taken seriously.
I do agree into your point that it did really ruins the flow but it isnt really that much of an issue though, thing here is that we do see a good game even
OG on 2nd game didnt able to make out some good plays due to bad draft.

I love Team Secret twitter, but I am all for trash talk and some good banter. Some people take that stuff way too seriously. I am sure OG is remembering this meme and will retaliate when results go their way, as they should Smiley

Whoever is running Team Secret Twitter should get a raise. The guy is a savage LOL!
You mean this? https://twitter.com/teamsecret/status/1395076950012608512

or am i missing something?  Cheesy People would normally have different reactions with this and some saying that its way too harsh.

A little bit, the current VP roster mostly started from their youth team VP.Prodigy which was formed last year when there wasn't any valve tournaments and they found a lot of success compared to their main roster with Noone and the gang. After some time VP dropped their entire roster, picked up their youth team and here they are now.  Cheesy
