Actually there's another update about NaVi, they're no longer going to play and also beastcoast. This virus has really made a lot of unexpected things and even this awaited first LAN during the pandemic has broken our expectation.

i bet that as soon as they started practicing they knew how screwed they were by watching washed up Mag playing again lol

Kuku will also miss the major, and now Borax from Aster will also miss the tourney...wtf?? stay tuned cos anything can happen in the next 13 hours until round-robin starts

talking about the start of this major, i'm gonna pull an all-nighter and try to watch at least 3 games, Liquid - Nigma, Liquid - PSG.LGD and T1 - VG...anyone else?

btw, bookmakers have Vici Gaming to win at 1.81, worth it considering T1 will play with a stand-in? 🤔

I've read the tweet probably from one of the NaVi managers that they're no longer going to play and as he tweet that post, Ramzes is already in Singapore, poor Ramzes. Grin

Yeah, Borax(boboka) will miss the major due to the reason of this: Aster's Borax cannot make Singapore DPC due to Prostitution
As for T1, forev is a good off lane but I don't think that it's worth putting your money with them since it's better if it's Kuku.

oh dear, what JAME did in the last round of OT in map 1...saw it live, crazy stuff! but let's not forget Virtus.Pro were winning 14-4 lol

forgot about the LEC Playoffs which starts today. Low stake on Fnatic ahc -2.5 at 2.65 odds (boosted)...no football today means more mbtc to throw around, amirite? :-P

Where have you found odds like that for Vici? I have @1.93 for them to win 2:0 so I am considering taking T1 to take one map @1.8 as more value. These games are BO2, true? Just judging from the odds I can see on Sportsbet, would not be the first time their provider had some problems with eSports.

Buff.bet
Yeah, it's BO2, but as usual, Sportbet are not offering 1X2 cos the provider still doesn't know how to offer Best-of-2 markets (just correct score which is kinda meh, imo). But I don't see the line for T1 to take a map on SB, Buff.bet have it @1.92, though i still think Vici could win this

I will be watching later games since they start early in the morning. So if I get up early I'll catch last 4 games and if I sleep a bit late it will be just last 2

i dodged a bullet with the -1.5 Astralis, but i put the stake on the Spain NT game and got punished, so i was gonna gonna lose anyway, meh...Today: O2.5 VP - EG @1.97 https://i.ibb.co/wB8MF85/v6df54v.png
Oh, and Astralis ML at 1.60 at time of posting, hmmm...They're playing like dogsh*t lately, but i might take the bait here tbh, let's see how much the line moves after america wakes up, but 1.60 for the danes? too good

Yesterday just when I was thinking that favourites are winning matches today and so Astralis should also win their match, Astralis lost their match against EG as well Cry

. Astralis were making so much mistakes yesterday and EG did their best to punish Astralis when they had the chance and it turned out to be fruitful for them as they have defeated one of the top teams in their starting match so that's a good start for them.

After that map 2 it felt like Astralis' got their momentum back but EG proved me wrong and like you've said Astralis making too many mistakes and losing rounds they're supposed to be taking. Team Liquid's handicap would've been a solid bet today as the early line was hovering at 1.6 but the odds already shifted after that upset from EG.

Today I got this nice two leg parlay between Sandbox and Gen G @1.9 both teams needing this win as Gen G could secure the second semifinal spot while Sandbox still fighting for the last playoffs spot with 2 series left to go.

Astralis have tho yet to face Virtus.Pro , Liquid. Virtus.pro is a difficult opponent and Liquid are also turning out to be difficult one slowly as Fallen is leading the team and so far TL have been performing well.

The One Esports Singapore Major is about to come. But there were a lot of substitutes for some teams because some of their players got tested positive for covid-19. They're at least 5 players got tested positive and won't be able to attend but were replaced.

yooo, this is key info! 👍 i was ready to start throwing mbtc to teams i didn't know were going to have stand-ins. Kinda sucks that mind_control won't be part of Nigma. And Navi will miss two players, devastating blow.

Kuku won't be able to play and other players too, that's just sad but still the action goes on March 27.

Can't wait for the event to start. no matter we are missing a couple of players I am excited to see my first DOTA LAN event. I got into eSports only during pandemic when "regular" sports were on pause. I am also curious to see how top teams from different regions match up.

There's one actually that have already started in China just a week or two ago but it's only for Chinese players. But this one is massive and as what we're always waiting for, a major which is one of the passes for the teams to earn their ticket to The International which has a higher prize pool. Through winning this major, they'll get DPC points as needed for the TI. I can't wait, just a day and several hours left.

I'm leaning on the EG handicap since I still have doubts on Astralis' recent form, even though they took down EG 2-0 recently I think it might go 2-1 this time.

Good call. did not expect that tbh. Tongue

Just had a look on the last few matches of Astralis and it seems like they arent invincible like 2 years ago any longer.

I had HLE -1.5 and then I decided on more safe HLE to win, in the other game you mentioned I have KT to take at least one map so 2:1 for Brion sounds good

Given my luck with eSports lately something will go wrong for sure.

You're spot on with the picks Wink

Nongshim drafted poorly during game 2 and 3 giving KT the slight edge at the 5v5 team fights once I saw their draft during the last game I had to cashout my ticket since they're lacking front line. Once KT had a nice advantage they nearly threw it back after doing some flashy individual plays but Nongshim made some costly misplays as well.

later today, Astralis - EG...hard to know how this one's gonna go, astralis have been underpeforming lately, and EG have a new guy in the roster, oBo, who is pretty good, but this is gonna be EG first game after Ethan left 🤔 i'm seriously considering -1.5 handicap Astralis at 1.92 odds

let's hope Fnatic are a bit rusty after a one-month break

They played the first map strong and watching them playing like that made me go for O2.5 maps as Liquid at Vertigo is not very easy to handle and with the gap and performance of Fnatic I thought they will definitely lose out the second map. Well they lost the second map but the main catch is that they lost the first map as well after leading it at one point. Cheesy

for now only one ticket

odds went down a bit overnight, it was around 1.61, now sitting at 1.56 without boost...let's hope Fnatic are a bit rusty after a one-month break

Any bets on ESL Pro League matches later?

Right now VP is playing against Endpoint, should be a clear win for VP. At this moment it stands 6:1 for VP on the first map in the BO3 match. And this map was picked by Endpoint! Cheesy

Only names from Endpoint I can remember are robiin and CRUC1AL, rest ist unknown for me but I think that is due to my inactivity?

The games this afternoon should be more interesting, if someone bets on it i would like to know why and who you bet for.
Currently I try to watch again more games from different teams to be able to make my own picture.

My pick for today's league games are HLE -1.5 and Nongshim to beat KT. Fredit Brion might get one map if they get a good draft but I think Hanwha will get it done within two maps as they're looking much cleaner and throughout their five series wins this second half of the season they've only dropped one map.

Yeah, I have heard of that news and I think that this means that the roster is going to be shaken a little because they are going with a stand in but I think that they can easily re-synergize their skills as a team and I hope that this won't affect the odds for that team a little but if it ever did so then so be it, I like a little uncertainty.

absolute stomp from EDG
I think they locked top 2, but i'm not sure what happens if RNG loses next weekend and EDG wins, i suppose EDG jump to 1st place in the standings? or maybe they'll take H2H into account which favors RNG in case of a tie in first place

Indeed it's pretty much locked in for both of them, I doubt RNG would lose on their last series since LGD isn't that good and EDG should beat Rare Atom. If both of them manages to end up with the same record then it comes down to the map/game difference if it's still tie then the next would be head to head record.

My pick for today's league games are HLE -1.5 and Nongshim to beat KT. Fredit Brion might get one map if they get a good draft but I think Hanwha will get it done within two maps as they're looking much cleaner and throughout their five series wins this second half of the season they've only dropped one map.

Lol 🤣🤣.

Like I said, they brought upon themselves and even they do advance to next stage , I don't think they would advance that much further with that kind of play. Remember group C was the easiest of them all and Navi in this kind of situation tells us all that how bad they are right now at CS.
