<...> there have been lot of changes going around in mousesports and frozen and ropz are also out of form.

oddly enough, ropz was the MVP in the series...Nuke was a complete disaster for Complexity Roll Eyes

underdogs keep winning,

Skipping the Vitality series, I think Vitality wins it but without Apex it's possible for OG to pull the upset.

Edit : I take back what I said, apex is confirmed playing. Still not confident betting on them though.

that was a short break...wth is going on with this org? 🤔

and talking about upsets, how about Spirit winning 2-1 vs. G2 earlier today...i think the Spirit that gave me so many wins last year are slowly coming back, a few more wins and i'll start adding them to my bet slips

anyway, those FaZe odds are too good to pass up, i think they're this high because of Liquid's map pool, very good winrate % in all maps except their perma ban, FaZe only have two maps with positive numbers

I'm surprised how the odds on Faze are this high and still moving in favor of Liquid given that they've 2-0'd them twice just a few days ago. As much as I like Liquid as a team it feels like they're overrated based on the hltv rankings.

Skipping the Vitality series, I think Vitality wins it but ~~without Apex~~ it's possible for OG to pull the upset.

2-0 for NIP a bit of a surprise but till Ive watched all these teams regularly Im only guessing really. Right now BIG easily taking Dust2 away from Mibr but went 3 maps at 3x as that seems reasonable and Mibr did ok the other day. This match might have been a candidate for -1.5 BIG but too late now and I'll willing to see if Mibr can do a map win

it was a comfortable win for BIG.The big team managed to win the 2 maps very easily

my favorite matches for tomorrow

Faze-Liquid
Vitality-OG

if i bet i will update

Tough games to predict. I expect Faze to win this matchup but I think Liquid will post a few questions, especially since they recently lost 2-0 to Faze. Vitality vs OG, I expect Vitality to win but they are in a slump at the moment so, it shouldnt be easy pickings. OG has the quality to shine on its day. I guess its best to bet on them live.

and NiP won

i saw this coming, they've been in such great good form lately...but Virtus.Pro tho, they won a tier 2 tourney like DreamHack Open had a good performance in cs_summit and all of a sudden they're in the top 5 of the HLTV rankings? they were favorites vs. this current NiP? ugh, i didn't pull the trigger on NiP moneyline yesterday cos i was going to watch the Champions League Roll Eyes

NIP played really well and it was wierd to watch Virtus.pro was going favourite to win the match. I think NiP form will run for a while and all their individuals are performing so well.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on February 17, 2021, 10:19:00 AM

Mousesports - COL later today...another match where i think the underdog (Mouz, according to bookies) has a good chance of winning...Inferno should be a free win for mouse, Mirage or Nuke are COL's best maps so they'll have the edge there, so maybe we'll see O2.5 maps?

I had a bit going on complexity when they faced Wisla Krakow just a few hours ago and the underdogs fought a good fight in map 2 and won in OT. Eventually it was Complexity coming on top in map 3. I am also eager to watch mousesports game especially after karrigan left and dexter came in to fill as in game leader. Lot of players have left mousesports, I still recall how hot they were in 2019 end and kept falling after that.. then woxic left...chrisJ left and now karrigan...

COmplexity and mousesports is a very good match and I would favour Complexity to win the match simply because they have a very good and responsible in game leader blameF who have stood up for his team in crucial points and key moments inside the game (we already saw in Blast) and secondly there have been lot of changes going around in mousesports and frozen and ropz are also out of form.

Nip to beat VP is the bet I saw tipped and seems reasonable like you say, it'll be close though I guess. Russian speaking VP team I dont really know but a former VP supporter told me they are ok, since he speaks both Polish and Russian I guess he'd know far better then me.

Can any team even challenge team Secret(Dota 2)? They look just sooo damn good. Snowball so hard that it becomes impossible to win for opponents. Cant wait for next major so we get to see all regions compete against each other. Cant really gauge the skill gap between teams like LGD, Vici and OG, Secret. China, SEA, Europe look pretty strong and always have to look out for SA and NA region.

The closest region that could probably give Secret a run for their money is the CIS region I still remember the VP guys were able to take them down once. The ranking of these regions (for me) seems similar to worlds where you have Europe, CIS and China at the top then SEA, NA and SA on the lower end of the rankings. I could still see the other regions catching up but it'll take a lot of lan tournaments for them to adapt.

The IEM matches yesterday was fun to watch but at the same time there was a lot of unpredictable matches that put on me on a loss. Tongue

Sticking to dota for now and pray that Nikobaby will carry Alliance @1.4 to victory. Viking's big win against OG last week felt like a fluke as OG outdrafted themselves by picking gyro instead of going for a standard carry draft.

I think Ive seen Vikin beat OG a few times. Anyways, OG just experiments until its do or die matches or TI. So, you can see them get beat by random teams once in a while. Nikobaby is insaane. Im sure he can solo carry any game if he's feeling it. Good luck.

3 maps was a lesser bet this time or 5x odds for OT on the 2nd map, possibly a bit too specific to be worth it but doesnt look like either side is taking ithttps://i.imgur.com/Y9cPbSG.png easily.

Nice. I bet you've gained a lot of experience and knowledge after watching so much CSGO all these years. I wouldn't mind reading your thoughts about a match every once in a while (:

Edit : Rip, complexity only got one round on t side. lol

Heh!

it's ok, NiP have been SO good lately, i'm glad they're slowly going back to the top where they belong. Spirit are off to a good start, though

Btw, I just saw that their next match is gonna be against Virtus.Pro, and i'm suprised the Ninjas are the underdogs here 🤔 sure, Virtus.Pro dismantled NiP in the cs_summit 7, but NIP to win at almost 3 odds? tempting...

oh, and in the DreamLeague we have Nigma - Tundra in about 2 hours...ez 4 Nigma?

I got the same picks as well Team Spirit and Complexity, that match between Team Spirit could've been close as there were rounds that Cloud9 have the man advantage but Spirit is just too good.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on February 15, 2021, 10:57:04 AM

Good value on COL moneyline @1.6x, seems like they finally found their groove after a really good showing in BLAST premier, but NiP have been playing decent CS lately so i'm expecting a close match

Your over for the complexity match is looking good at the moment as Complexity couldn't stabilize their economy hopefully both of our picks hit. Cheesy

Just as an FYI, B1t is playing for Navi whenever they play inferno - flamie hates that map (and b1t is like an inferno specialist)

Oi! you into esports? i think this is the first time i see you around here 👀

We have IEM Katowice up ahead and we would be able to see some more teams playing CSGO. Hopefully top rank teams won't fall for underdogs like they did in BLAST.

Play-in starts tomorrow. Friendly reminder that these matches will be Best-of-1. There's gonna be tons of matches: 8 matches + 6 more in lower brackets and Round 2...but i'm gonna focus on the ones i think will be the highlights in Round 1:

Spirit didn't seem to have any issues with the new guy 'degster' replacing iDisbalance in past matches. Cloud9 were a bit shaky with Xeppaa in the cs_summit 7. The russians have the better map pool so i'll give them the edge here

After the Blast tournament Olof confirmed that he's leaving from the starting roster and then Faze quickly made the announcement on Karrigan just in time for the IEM tournament.

Nothing interesting to bet on today but I placed a small stake on this multi just so I can watch a couple of games.

Quote from: PixxelDesign on February 15, 2021, 02:36:06 AM

I like the Liga Pro 12 mins matches, it can be bet on Bet365 and Unibet, maybe other bookmakers as well. But sometimes I have a feeling some of those matches are not really clear. I mean a player who won 10 mins ago against a more powerful opponent, losing to a really weak one. It happens every day. Let me know your thoughts about it.

Losing to a weaker opponent is normal though i've seen the same thing happens on some dota and csgo teams. I'm curious where do you get your stats and information before picking a team to bet on.

Tomorrow Start the IEM Katowice im love this event Cheesy

And it Start Big ^^ BIG vs Movistar Riders BIG should win butt maybe we have a Underdog with the riders.
Gambit e sports vs Team one should be a easy match for Gambit
Team Spririt vs Cloud9 Spirit is th better Team butt Cloud9 when they play like the old days they can win.

Can't go for the unnecessary, BIG is the favorite, big odds are on the Movistars and I think that it is high that betting on BIG is the best choice. Cloud9 have a chance for an upset but I think that with their current team, it is hard to say if they will pull it off. TeamOne has the most attractive odds of the three with an average odds of 4.9 or 4.8, could win big time if you bet on both sides with small amounts on higher odds and lower amounts in smaller odds.
