We only have one game for today and that's Suning vs TOP, I really want Suning to win but I have to go with [email protected] here, this series is even as it gets since Suning took down TOP in the regular season 2-0 and at last year's Worlds. My reasoning for TOP is that they have the better raw talent and despite the bad start they have this split they still manage to stabilize and lock the third seed. Also have a sidebet on TOP map 1 first tower since they have a huge priority on taking towers (80%) compared to Suning (42%).

After the One Esports Major Singapore, the next thing would be the Dota Pro Circuit Season for all regions. Lower division and Upper division for the South American region and Thunder Predator is in it but with a strong rival too, beastcoast.

Now we are back to regional tournaments. Which are fun but clearly not the same as inter regional tournaments/Majors. I am more interested in the Chinese league(i League) as there are a lot of strong teams. China has proven to be the strongest region for Dota at the moment and EU is falling short.

IG manage to reverse sweep and win the Singapore Major!
ah man i missed it!! a reverse sweep in the final! and i thought Team Secret - OB Neon was going to be hard to beat as the the best match of the tournament, but apparently i was wrong

few takeaways from this tournament: SA need more slots, EU need to step up their game, will NA ever win a major?  Tongue

anyway, today was not a good day for my tickets. T1 to win? down the shitter.  FURIA - G2 over maps? fck that too cos G2 are dogsh*t  Undecided so it's all about VP - COL over maps @1.80, at least veto looks decent for Complexity, mrg and inferno should be competitive, vertigo as the decider is free win for VP tho
Yeah, Im not sure what happened to G2..they looked awful. Honestly, I wasn't expecting Col to win any maps based on how they played Mirage but somehow they had an amazing T-Side to close it down. Map 3 looking closer but I expect VP to close it down.

What an upset made by them. That was already a 2-0 for EG and they only need to win 1 game for them to go home and take the grand finals and be proclaimed as the champions for the first major.
But that's the twist, on the 3rd time, EG was too comfortable enough and it's painful while watching the game because they keep on giving Abed's storm spirit which should have given a respect ban but they didn't. 5 straight games for Abed with storm and the mindgame started by IG.Emo with the historical and tilting "?".

Next go:
Virtus.Pro vs Complexity Gaming  a great match to watch to easter Smiley Virtus should win butt complextiy play very good the last games.
im wish every one happy easter Smiley

Going on good so far. Both are playing good CS atm and displaying good team plays. Right now it's down to 2nd map and Complexity seems like are coming from behind on 2nd map to push to 3rd map(not done yet tho).

We have 1-2 days break again after this and we will be having play-in rounds ..the one I have been waiting for.  Cheesy

Dota 2: Game 5 in the grand finals HYPE! EG wins first 2 games in a best of 5 series and were very close to winning it 3-0 but iG managed to stage a comeback, not only in game 3 but the series as well by winning the 4th game. Series score now 2-2 and game 5 to come in a few mins. Lets goo!
I had a nice bet on IG +1.5 and when it was 2:0 for EG I was thinking why did I have to go for a cheeky bet when I expected EG to take to tournament. I guess I was influenced by rand and good thing I went that way. 5th map is still in balance so we will see who will prevail in the end.

If IG manages to take this one it will be a big steal. Coming back from 2:0 is never easy and especially not when EG play as good as they are playing today. Both maps EG won has been a clear wins with no chances for opponent while those 2 that IG managed to win were much more close and I kept waiting for turnaround.
IG manage to reverse sweep and win the Singapore Major! Lifestealer isnt a great hero tbh..especially late game against Spec and there are reasons why people arent really picking him even after certain changes. Some really good games honestly from these teams. What reflexes to avoid bkh and for lion to stun enemies so quickly. Great follow up from Mars and phoenix with arena and egg too so EG cannot fight there at all. really good team play coming from IG in the last 3 maps and Chinese region, who were dominant wrt the no. of teams qualified, take the major. Another disappointing result for EG but it wasnt a bad showing, honestly. Just tripped over at the last hurdle. They could have ended the series in 3 maps. I honestly stopped watching 3rd map as I thought EG would take it and win the Major but it wasnt the case and started watching again from 4th map.

I couldn't place pre live bets on the grand finals of the major so i'll just share my League picks for later which is T1 ML and Suning ML.

T1 took down Gen G 2-0 in their last meeting I think the same thing will happen since they know what they're up against and Gen G rarely go for unpredictable drafts.

Suning looked clean against LNG, expecting a close one between WE but with the momentum Suning have recently I feel like they have the edge on this series as they're a streaky team.

Congrats mate, you've won.  Cool
thx man (:
TP are on a high and idk if IG will be able to stop them, although we're talking about one the best team in CN, imo. Still, bookmakers have TP moneyline at 1.6x odds  so ppl are confident the SA team can beat IG
But, i won't add that match to my tickets, i'd rather go with EG - PSG.LGD over2.5 maps https://i.ibb.co/nndYCc4/o25maps.png both teams looking extremely good so far, stakes are very high, winning this match will take u straight to the final, hard to think this could end with a quick 2-0, right?
IG just sent Thunder Predator back home. The match of EG and LGD didn't ended in a 2-0 win but a 2-1 match. EG is still a strong team. But do you guys saw the tweet of one player of an NA team, Saberlight?
He said that sea has a lot of noob players and that made him bashed by a lot of players and fans on his tweet but later on he apologized and deleted it.

Secret was also my pick for early ticket but PSG.LGD has taken them down quite easy. Did not watch the first map, but Secret did not do themselves any favors with the draft in the decider.
i didn't watch the game but, was it really the draft the deciding factor? or was LGD actually the better team in the last game?
I blame the draft, team Secret lost all 3 lanes and never were in the position to contest anything on 3rd map. Furthermore, I am not a pro but who the hell drafts Bane in this meta.

It was really unexpected but as Puppey said, he needs to work on his drafting. His team did not have enough scrimmage before coming into the tournament and finishing as Top 4 is already great even though they are the tournament favorites. It will be an absolute show for Evil Geniuses if they continue to conquer everyone they will be facing. Their cores are the most consistent anybody can see and its almost like RTZ is just an insurance when things go wrong.

What a series from Secret and Neon that one was intense it nearly looked like Neon had it in the bag but their supporting heroes fell off hard when it came in the later stages of the game. Honestly even though Secret got away with the win they still look a bit off with the weird drafts.

Going for PSG.LGD and Damwon -2.5 today, not too convinced on the side of EG since they haven't fought a solid team while LGD is already tested after all the matches they've been through the wild card, group stage and playoffs. Also expecting a sweep on Damwon since Hanwha's series against Nongshim went through all 5 games.

Our SA Peruvian squad is doing it. They really know how to play Dota 2 and tomorrow will be up against Invictus Gaming. In this playoffs, they've taken down Aster, another Chinese team but not a complete roster but I think they'll able to beat IG tomorrow.
3 games tomorrow that are good to watch.
EG - PSG.LGD
OB Neon - Secret
TP - IG
