Faze are picking OG apart at the moment. Won OG's pick and first map of Mirage 16-7 where Twistzz and Broky went ham with 24 Kills - 14 deaths and 25-10 respectively. Faze won the 2nd map as well, 16-9. The next match will be interesting Liquid vs Vitality. I think even though Vitality are favs to win, It won't be easy as Liquid are looking pretty good.

Hi guys, couple of bets for today:

NiP - Virtus.pro: My bet
Team Liquid - Vitality: My bet
Natus Vincere - Furia: My bet

I hope CIS will continue their expansion, also wanted to place for Gambit - Heroic, but kinda hard to decide, both teams are equal. But I guess Gambit have more chances to win today. GL!  Wink

Brutal loss on Faze yesterday Fallen was insane on both maps.

I'll be going for an early bet today as I found DRX +1.5 vs T1 currently at 1.64. DRX might be overperforming after their big upset against Gen G but T1 shouldn't be this favored. Based on the current records (DRX with 5-3 and T1 with 4-4) of both teams this series is close to a 50-50 or 55-45 at best.


DRX wins agains T1 - 2 to 1.
kt Rolster wins against Brion Blade - 2 to 1

T1 performed great, and its natural for T1 to be the one favored as they are indeed the crowds favorite, but as of now T1 is at the bottom of the standings with a record of 4-5. Faker is the only experienced player in the roster as Teddy is being benched.

Brutal loss on Faze yesterday Fallen was insane on both maps.

Damn!! and I thought Faze got this. Great work from Liquid to get revenge in IEM Katowice. Mirage was decent from both sides but Nuke was all Liquid show with Fallen giving off a great show. Its great to saw Fallen back into good performance as well. Ever since he joined Liquid he wasn't performing as expected but good to see him giving off signs now.

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
The bookies are catching up quick though I got them at 1.9 vs G2 and i'll probably take them again later today vs Heroic.  Grin

Faze to beat Liquid is the bet Im told is worth making, they are getting slaughtered with the odds upto 6.5x for a bo3 win.   Probably worth taking and Faze chose Nuke as their map for a good reason apparently (arent Liquid not bad on Nuke though).  I think 3 maps is a safer idea and the whole thing is underdog vs just betting Liquid simply take it.   I'd assume Liquid do take it but cant say I disagree on good grounds till I watch the game.

Now live Heroic vs BIG Smiley  first round win Heroic and it look like that they win the second round to. Sad
an Bad day for BIG.
And in the match Astralis vs Mousports looks like the same Mouspeorts lost maybe.
The event start not good for Europe.  Roll Eyes

Later Faze vs Team Liquid hopefull Faze had an better start as the other teams.

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.

Perhaps it is due to the change (haven't checked the odds myself). Olof left, karrigan came in so maybe that is the reason of shift in odds. I still think Faze can beat Liquid quite badly. They have players in form but just don't want to bet in with the recent change. Will check the match to see how they are working out with karrigan.


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

That was quite a short break. I thought he was gone for quite sometime when he announced about break but guess he stepped in as there wasn't any guy who could fill his shoes properly in the team. We already saw how Vitality struggled in Blast after Apex left.


<...> 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,

Didn't saw the match (match went at odd time for me here) but judging by the scoreline mousesports fight it well to make a comeback from 1-0 to 1-2. Good to see ropz back again lifting the team. I hope other players also try to step in and put themselves more along with ropz.

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

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

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.


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.
and NiP won

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. Smiley
