There's so many games scheduled for today but i'll stick to league since i've been eyeing this one after the semi finals, EDG to win @1.55 vs RNG it's one of the most anticipated series and there's not many league games left since the other regions are also nearing the end of the playoffs. Both teams lost to FPX, EDG made it close but fell short, expecting EDG to win this series since RNG looked so volatile against TOP and I doubt they'll switch their game plan since they're kind of similar to TOP where they thrive on these crazy aggressions. RNG have the advantage on top lane with Xiaohu and jungle with Wei but EDG have the edge on mid lane with Scout and bot lane with Viper and Meiko.

Edit : Series isnt over yet but its all RNG at the moment while EDG looking a bit off after getting outdrafted in game 1.

I agree. But if they fail to make this adaptation in time, winning becomes more difficult. Everyone who likes to play, knows that it is not always easy to change the strategy in the game, when it goes in the middle.

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.

Cadian's clutch was especially impressive because he has done quite alot of casting and work outside of purely being a player.  He isnt the very top player but it shows a depth to the game when experience counts for alot in actions when combined with a very good player who can put it into effect.   Also he was just lucky to live, every clutch is some good fortune and benefit from the team also though it appears to be purely a titanic solo round victory
  The clip with the flying awp gifted to a player end of the round also is funny and another random bonus that is part of why I appreciate CS most to watch; so yea he lost this round but right to the last second there are elements which are still altering the game balance and prospects for that very next round.  Keeps it interesting  


An army in retreat is at its weakest, its often the case a team requires momentum to do best if they lose a spirit to their play, coordination and confidence can decline it may be overly damaging.   For some reason csgo especially seems to emphasize this

You're welcome. He really did a poor performance for the past season and tournaments that he's been with the Team Nigma. I guess with ILTW, they can easily adopt his playstyle and he has more hero pool if I'm not mistaken. Their first match on DreamLeague is on April 17 and it's already with Secret, what an exciting matchup. And for the first day, OG is back with Ana, let's see if they'll be far better than with Midone.

Next goes.
Astralis vs OG Astralis should win.
G2 Esprots vs Endpoint realy dont now G2 is the better team butt Endpoint play very well the last matches.
Team Liquid vs Team Dignitas for sure Team Liquid will win.

Sometimes, if the opponents manage to "discover" the strategy / tactic used, it is difficult to win. It will be necessary to adjust this strategy.

I also missed the final between Heroic and Gambit but watching that clutch it seems like it was an intense one. What a clutch to finish the match and win the ESL Pro League 13.. To me it is unreal, legendary play. Gambit must be kicking themselves but they also played so much good CS to reach the  finals. Reminded me of simple clutch playing from TL in major.

BLAST Premier next huh.. I am up.

just got home after a crazy day in the meatspace, i missed everything, LPL, the LEC final with the reverse sweep , Heroic-Gambit (there were 4 OTs in train, wtf??), etc, etc

talking about the ESL pro league, just saw Cadian's clutch in the last map to win the series and it was 🔥🔥 found the clip in the esl twitter acc https://twitter.com/ESLCS/status/1381348016590835722
i woulda loved to see that live, even more so in LAN with 50k ppl screaming in a stadium, imagine that! Seriously tho, hands down one of the greatest clutches of all time

anyway, looking forward to BLAST premier

w33 was SO bad in the las major, i think that was the final nail in the coffin, he's been underperforming for so long, time to take a break i guess...Now let's see how Nigma performs in the DreamLeague which starts tomorrow. Thx for the info

Next goes for today:
Gambit Esports vs Heroic  Gambit play very good the last matches and Heroic play every match worser.
what is going on with Heroic

The LPL semifinals starts in less than an hour, I got FPX to win @1.8 vs EDG one of the main reasons why I favor FPX here is the jungle matchup EDG's jungler didn't stood out as much in the last series against TES and Tian's performance is great throughout the playoffs.


I'm also expecting Gambit to take it all but man after that series between NiP specifically the second map Heroic might have a solid chance tbh.

It feels like Heroic is the value pick on this series since their second half performance against NiP and Furia was very clean.

Got some roster changes for Fnatic and Team Nigma. W33 of Nigma is out and replaced by ILTW and will play the same role 1 or 2. Whilst for Fnatic, they got ChYuan as offlane. And there's another one, Sylar going back in action in Ehome, replacing Ahjit.
Fnatic: https://www.facebook.com/FnaticDota2/posts/142379151221232
Team Nigma: https://twitter.com/TeamNigma/status/1380928854223650825

They were so good in 18-19 and even in 20's they were performing good but after those breaks it was all upside down.  I still recall how good they used to be with Train and in Inferno. Their Inferno map control was also so good back then. Now they have lost their shine.

OG should be an easy one for Astralis but still can't be sure as both are having quite a bad performance ... OG a bit more on bad performance side so Astralis should win that one.


Furia and Heroic is a toss up. Heroic are a good team struglled a bit earlier but are also playing some good CS. On other hand Furia are a very agressive team. It's like a martingale strat we have in dice, if it pays out then it will sure win you the match but if someone reads your play like a book then Furia are gone. I also placed quite a trust on brazillian side but the opponents were good enough to counter their aggressive plays. It's a risky one.

So far it seems like ESL Pro League winner should be Gambit. And if they win then I think they will get the #1 spot. They are right now #3.    impressive for a team who wasn't taken as a serious contender couple months ago and now are running over all the top teams like crazy. <- Any comments on this one? What do you guys feel? Is it that all the other teams are playing bad CS or Gambit is really good.

I really like G2 as well going for a small play on the -1.5 handicap @2.04 since they took care of Rogue 2-0 in the regular season.

As for Furia and Heroic, i'll take Furia at plus odds I honestly think this one might end up 2-0 for Furia since i'm not convinced enough on Heroic's 2-0 win against NiP during the play ins.

Edit : Rip G2, they kept going for those weird Karma drafts that never works and Rogue's jungler was just feasting throughout the early game.

as everyone expected (except dumb bookmakers, all of them had the handicap at 1.7x, thanks for the odds 😂), Damwon won comfortably, a walk in the park, ez money, ez life


Gen.G giving Senna to Ghost, big brain move there 🤣

later today, G2 - Rogue...could we see another stomp today? i think so, got my eyes on the -1.5 handicap. But first, FURIA - Heroic over maps at 1.95. Hopefully, this will be a close match, been saying that for Heroic for a while now but every match is a breeze for them. Let's see if FURIA can keep that momentum going

they've been so bad lately, just painful to watch.  And BLAST Premier starts next week so there's no time to analyze what just happened, gotta prepare for that first match against OG, a team that have a fresh blood in the roster with NiKo and FlameZ...quite the debut for these guys, eh? against no other than Astralis

Good thing you skipped, like you predicted it was quite a surprise that FURIA won it. I am a fan of FURIA but yesterday I was also supporting Astralis to go ahead and plan a revenge against Gambit who are 3-0 up against Danish side in this last few H2H meetings but it came out to be quit opposite.

It further shocked me when Train (Astralis map pick) was finished with 16-2 FURIA scoreline.   

You're welcome, keep on digging the website because it's for esport that you can imagine.

I've used gosugamers during the old Dota days but liquipedia just came out and it became more popular. I missed the old days but this is also a good resource that you've brought up, it's also a known website even til' now.

a small recovery after 3 consecutive lossess yesterday (:



FURIA - Astralis is a tremendous toss up imo so i'd rather skip it and wait for the semifinals tomorrow. Also looking forward to the LCK and LEC matches, anyone else? G2 and DAMWON will most likely go to my saturday betslips

nice promo. Max amount is a bit low imo, but still, you don't see these type of promos very often in crypto bookies 👍

Another website that could be helpful is www.gosugamers.net. They also have news regarding team shuffles and upcoming tournaments. One good thing I like about Gosugamers is that it has a ranking system that shows which team is really great among different regions. You could also do betting within their website but they are still not using Cryptocurrencies at the moment.

And do you know any soccer tournament, for beginners?
