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.

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

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 Roll Eyes

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

Next goes for today in the DreamHack :
Gambit Esports vs Natus Vincere  that gone be a great match to watch 2 very good teams, im think with a bit luck win Natus Vincere.


Lol again?  Cheesy  Grin . Natus Vincere faced defeat just not long ago going against Gambit and I think outcome would be same again this time. Navi are playing good CS but Gambit are playing even better. There are too many impact players in Gambit and hence I think Gambit would win this clash.
yeah butt they lost last time ok, butt they can win. Natus vincere was 2 jears ago one of the best teams.

I agree Gambit seems to be on another level right now, Navi kept it close last time pushing it to all 30 rounds on the decider map but Gambit manages to come out on top. The value seems to be on Navi @2.5 but i'll ride the Gambit train @1.5 hopefully we get a good final and my luck turns around for the better since I can't catch a break on dota.

So far doesn't seems like the Gambit we watched earlier -_-. Sh1ro missing shots and others are also not finding much impact. As for Navi, they are taking things aggressively and surprising Gambit out there entirely. It would be perfect revenge if they manage to defeat Gambit in this finals...would make up for all the losses.

If Navi can only win against teams that are worst than Heroic before this final match, then I'm pretty sure Gambit will win. But since they won against Heroic in the previous series which is one of the teams that can beat Gambit recently, I think Navi might still have a chance to win here.

Gambit ML odd is juicy tho, but I will still just watch this match.

imagine losing to a JP team 😂 Blabber so bad 🤣..and earlier, DWG KIA deleted Infinity, no chance to catch good odds live
Nice catch, now i'm starting to regret not tuning in yesterday to catch those nice odds.  Cheesy

Some interesting dota matches lined up later today, i'm taking Team Secret and Team Liquid @1.82 not the best odds but still close to even with both selections hovering at 1.3-1.4 not confident on taking the handicap since Secret and Liquid usually push the series to a third. OG needs this win if they plan to qualify for TI but after their loss against Tundra it feels like they're still not at their fully best.

Damn where is the old Astralis.. Cry . G2 are easily clutching with pistols against them lol. Even Bubjzkji is performing better than most of the his team. Dupreeh, Xyp9x all are doing a flop show. Didn't thought they will be giving such a flop show so far. Hope they turn things around from here on now as 2nd map stands at 11-10.
