@ralle14   what's with the FPX odds? 14.50?  anyway, i opened the stream and saw RNG winning a 4v5 in game 4 and thought "this is over" lol glad i overslept and didn't bet on this game...i did find it weird that RNG were given such high odds in prematch tho, FPX had the momentum on their part, sure, but RNG got first place in the regular split, ppl must've really thought RNG were a fluke, eh? 🤔

MAD Lions and RNG in the next MSI, huh...

my only ticket today:

Spirit haven't played mirage in a while so perhaps G2 can punish them there edit* fuck . Dust2 should be free win for Spirit, it's their best map and G2 have a poor record there lately edit2* as expected, both teams traded maps and my ticket won 😏

G2 Esports vs Team Spririt  great match to watch Team Spirit should win.
Heroic vs Gambit eSports  since the last match Heroic play not so good  in the last series they play better, it spossible that win Gambit.
Blink vs Alternate aTTaX im hope Alternate win butt im think blink wil win.

what do we think about FPX? can they easily beat RNG or is it going to be a hard fought epic battle? honestly i didn't expect the bookies to price RNG ml that high (2.85 odds in some sites), they did have some close games against EDG and TES, but still...
I think it's going to be a hard fought one as they might fuck up the drafts like they did against EDG but overall i'd give the edge to FPX since they have the better players and have the better champion pool if RNG decides to focus all of their bans on certain champions after that 3-0 on their last meeting.

Today i'm rocking this 4 leg parlay@2.6 two of them are one sided odds(GAM and PSG Talon) because they're the best of best in their region only dropped 1 game throughout the season and sweeping teams in the playoffs so it all comes down to FPX and Team Spirit to seal my parlay.  Wink

9z lost their map pick and will posibbly lose the match as expected...their path to the main event was so difficult to begin with, face the 2nd best team in the world like Heroic, and then if they somehow beat the danes, they could potentially face the best team rn which is Gambit...mission impossible for the SA team is an understatement, tbh lol

That was also the rpk's last match for Team Vitality and he is out of the team as well now.
awful way to leave, in one the team's most memorable upsets :/

I might put it all on FPX tomorrow.

I tuned in to Navi's series yesterday against Team Spirit and the only thing I can say is that they really need a solid offlaner if not they won't make it to the second major. Team Spirit stomped both games and Ramzes role as an offlaner doesn't seem to fit in with Navi's playstyle.

Today i'm banking on this nice three leg multi @3.4(ENCE, Gambit, Beyond) all favs nothing too unusual and if this bet hits I might put it all on FPX tomorrow.

Sometimes, if the opponents manage to "discover" the strategy / tactic used, it is difficult to win. It will be necessary to adjust this strategy.
If they find something that is going to be detrimental to the winning of your team then it is the mission of the other team to find a strategy that will counter the new strategy that the other team employs. That is the beauty of team based eSports, you have to create a strategy on the fly.

This actually happens at the very hero picking phase of the tournament draft. If the hero picks have been countered, like picking enigma then they locked rubick or silencer, then your team must have the backup plans on how to pass this obstacles of getting silenced or getting your blackhole stealed.

Comms will do most of the tasks in deploying these ones and I love it.

Liquid, Astralis and Vitality are out of the tournament...hmm, i kinda want to bet on the underdogs (9z and Furia) in the next round  Grin

Really not sure what is going around. Vitality losing to 9z was so so so unexpected. Zywoo was the worst performer out of all of them in the team that's another hard pill to swallow.

That was also the rpk's last match for Team Vitality and he is out of the team as well now.

tomorrow's gonna be a bit of a slow day so it's all about BLAST Premier for me. Gonna go with Over maps in OG - G2.
Looks like G2 might take OG's map pick, the score is already at 10-6 but your over is still in a good shape since G2 picked D2 and that could go either way.

I'm going to ride the Team Spirit train later vs Dignitas, their odds seems too good here 1.35 for series win and 2.2 for 2-0.

Vitality moneyline yesterday was @1.01 odds...and they still lost and got eliminated from BLAST. I watched the match, pure carnage from 9z, that 16yo kid 'try' looked like s1mple or dev1ce with some insane flicks/frags, what a beast! and his teammte 'max' also had one hell of a performance

Most of the games today are too one sided but I found these two upper division matches with okay odds and parlayed them together for 1.8 you could also include heroic to push it above even odds.
I also had VP but in a single ticket. Match went as expected, going to a 3rd map https://i.ibb.co/j60ZHDZ/veryez.png

edit* the fuck?? i just came back and Liquid lost! they were like 15-2 or something, 7k gold lead and about to reach tier 3 towers when i left LOL gg indeed :-P
Classic Liquid Grin the only reason they had a good early lead because their heroes had a faster power spike so it was easy for them to dominate the early game with the magic burst but they couldn't take down the objectives in time and gave Alliance enough breathing room to build the necessary items.

uhh, 7 kills in 5 minutes for Liquid in game 2...ffs, Alliance! FFS!

Screw those pesky CS and LoL matches they just take away my money. Give me more DOTA  Grin
lmao 🤣

step aside, CSGO, DreamLeague S15 is live! Liquid - Alliance in a couple hours. ticket: over maps https://i.ibb.co/hCGt2Dg/o25maps.png

I'm excited, been wanting to see more top tier dota after the last major  Smiley
Finally, my sentiment exactly. When I started with eSports almost year ago, CS was my favorite and I had some really good results on it. As the time progressed I started to loose interest in CS and gain it for DOTA. Also my betting percentages took a big hit in CS and solid rise in DOTA and now I am watching and betting only on DOTA. Screw those pesky CS and LoL matches they just take away my money. Give me more DOTA  Grin

Next up is Liquid vs Dignitas.
while i'm surprised Liquid lost (obviously), i gotta say that Dignitas are looking pretty decent lately. Last week they put up a good fight against EG, really impressive showing. Happy for lekr0, guy is a beast!
Now Heroic and Vitality better not lose their game, wouldn't want to see low tier teams (9z and SAW) in the main event lol

Edit : Nice clean 2-0 from Spirit  Cheesy
That looks like the easiest money you'll make today 👍 Bookies love to underestimate Mir and the bois. 3rd best team in CIS and they give you 1.7 odds against some random ass team, you love to see it 😂

Whenever teams pick D2 it always feels like a toss up regardless of the high winrate they have. Also Liquid dropping early is kind of surprising and props to the old NiP players for making it work.

Team Spirit -1.5 @1.73 is my pick later, they'll face Team Salt which is the old C9 roster and their ranking is way too high given that most of their wins are from tier 2 teams.

Astralis just threw that all away. They give off a good fight but that wasn't just enough and with that hey are out of Blast Premier. That was one of the important tournament for Astralis for now and to make return and prove something but OG just shut them down totally.

G2-Endpoint wasn't a surprise so yeah that's better. Next up is Liquid vs Dignitas. Should be an easy one for Liquid. Their team play with Fallen leading have been showing off good results so yeah don't think Dignitas would be a trouble for them.

astralis just lost 1st map against OG and bookies have the astra moneyline at 2.2 odds...i'll take it


D2 is their best map, they win it and then they keep the momentum going in last map, simple as...but tbh, this is it, right? if they can't beat OG then it's obvious that this team is going to disband. Dev1ce said it, something's about to change https://www.hltv.org/news/31546/device-it-is-to-be-expected-that-some-things-might-change

Yeah D2 is one of the map they have good records in so yeah they can make it here. They were 5-2 down but now made up back and are level with OG at 5-5 so yeah Astralis are also not giving in easily. BTW pretty impressive from OG who just gone through two changes and are performing better. That's a bit surprising to me.

Yeah they do need some changes. It's the same players but yet they are not performing. And it will be a big one for sure.

edit*ASStralis are done

Edit : Series isnt over yet but its all RNG at the moment while EDG looking a bit off after getting outdrafted in game 1.
totally forgot about this match. EDG looking good in game 3 but it's still very close. If they win this then it's game on, we've had a lot of matches lately going to the last game
