I didn't understand why Eternal Fire had a hard time defeating this team.It's ridiculous that Eternal Fire was eliminated from the tournament when they could easily finish 1st in such a tournament.I think Maj3r was mentally tired.As soon as the match was over, he left the field directly and made a statement.It's really sad for them to be eliminated when they can participate in the ESL Pro League with a team like B8.On the Anubis Map, it's really pointless to lose the match from here while finishing 9-3 ahead.

They're going through a slump since they've been underperforming before this tournament and other teams go through a similar situation whenever they overachieve for example G2 in the recent IEM Rio.

On the other hand, we shouldn't count out B8 they're still a decent team tier two team with headtrick and npl who used to play for NaVi and NiP at one point. They surely have the firepower to shock certain teams when you look at the teams they've beaten recently.

Eternal Fire can't get what they want in some matches after their unforgettable rise to the pro league, today will be one of those days for Eternal Fire.
B8 lost 2-0. The match went to overtime twice on the Anubis map, Maj3r was bad today and directed the team badly.
B8 made a few moves from the smoke, Eternal Fire couldn't prevent this while on defense. Otherwise, they played well on the Anubis T map. But B8 T side was also better.

I will try to stick first on this tournament before jumping to the other ones that are also happening right now.

Every favorite won yesterday, and the upper bracket final between Tundra and Falcons was the only close series out of the three.

Today's lower bracket final would be the third meeting between Tundra and BetBoom. I'm still sticking with the script on Tundra because they have a better chance against Team Falcons.

BetBoom is overvalued after sweeping Team Spirit in the previous series and I think Tundra could have the upper hand if they could prioritize 33's best heroes.

In the lower bracket, upsets were being followed by upsets. Aurora defeated Gaimin Gladiators and Yakult brothers kicked out Team Liquid. I have to think about my bets in the next few hours. There are 6 teams left on this tournament.

The upset by Aurora was impressive and Gaimin Gladiators was so off during that final map the game felt over within 20 minutes when Aurora kept on snowballing their lead.

Yakult's upset was solid as well and the final map was entertaining. Team Liquid had the advantage in one of the late game team fights, and they somehow stopped their attempt without their Luna carry.

That's true and they have showed some impressive games in there and unfortunately, I didn't bet for any of their games because I found the odds to be not that much at all. But then, there are only three matches for today and two from the lower bracket and one from the upper bracket. I've bet for these winners and Tundra. I will try to stick first on this tournament before jumping to the other ones that are also happening right now.

Our representative Eternal Fire, we have played many times in the same group with Falcons. There was a significant change in Falcons, s1mple was added to the team.
s1mple is still very good to be honest, but I'm not sure if he's Goat like in CS:GO. I think Eternal Fire is the best team among the 10 teams, so they should win the tournament if nothing goes wrong.

EF should cruise through these teams if they can play at their best, but even if they get eliminated here, they're still high enough in the global rankings to receive an invite for the upcoming season of the ESL Pro League.

Hopefully, my bets are right.

I was wrong with these bets of mine and got a 0-2. While at the top bracket, there are no upsets. In the lower bracket, upsets were being followed by upsets.

Got a 1-1 again.

I've got some bets again for later's match and I didn't bet for all the games because the other two games have a very low odds that I can't consider. Team Falcons have won my bet but I'd go with the odds that the Team Spirit has. On the other hand, BetBoom seems dominating this tournament and even I wanna go with Tundra, I'd go with them. Hopefully, my bets are right.

BB already advanced and won 2 straight games against Aurora.

Glad that I made those bets but it was 2 single bets instead of parlay.

Congratulations, mate.

I went for Yakult brothers because I still believe that chinese dota is strong and this roster has chemistry on each other. Team Spirit is strong but with replaced players, maybe some synergy won't get in but I've watched how satanic played,

I noticed several times that you seems to have soft spot for underdogs but still its hard to back the against Team Spirit eventhough their statistics were similar on the group stage but if you watch the game then you will noticed that Team Spirit is just way better

Hehehe, you've noticed that about me. Yeah, this is really me. I always give chance to the underdogs when I think they have some good potential games but this is the price that I have to pay and they've lost against Team Spirit. I should have gone for them before placing that bet but that's fine, I've got a L already today. I've watched of TS and they're really good especially the game that they have satanic's SF and you're right, the game ended 2-0 against YB.

And for Team Falcons and Team Liquid

Expected and basically the most logical bet but I going with over 2.5 maps on this one

Team Falcons won the game 1 and they're already on game 2, let's see and good luck to us.

So whats for tomorrow?

BB and Tundra to win seems like a good bet to start the playoff rounds

BB already advanced and won 2 straight games against Aurora. Now, it's on the 3rd map for Tundra against Gaimin Gladiators. I have skipped these two matches and have bet for the remaining two, the series of Team Spirit/Yakult Brothers and Team Falcons and Team Liquid.

And for Team Falcons and Team Liquid, went for Team Falcons, they're still dominant on most tournaments and Team Liquid not with 33 but with saberlight might be an advantage for Falcons.

I agree there are many support players they could've taken, but it's not that bad to sign Kuku as a support captain since he used to be a support during his days in TNC. Maybe Talon noticed the lack of leadership in the team and they're running out of options.

Nah having a veteran player as a captain doesnt always mean things are going to end up perfectly well. We had Kuroky and Puppey, two seasoned player and those old folks are generally the reason their team hasnt really play off really well so Kuku is just another example of that. They should boot him out after DreamLeague if things are not working out for them

I missed putting this on, still a 1-1 though while we are waiting for the playoffs to come.

Twelve hours from now, the matches are all set for the BB Dacha, the bracker has been updated already. There's also a tournament happening in Belgrade, the RES Regional Champions. OG is participating there.

I think Eternal Fire has moved to Hungary. We can say that the conditions there are better and at least they will be able to prepare for tournaments with a clear head. In the next process, if the news is true, we can see a more successful Eternal Fire. The first tournament ahead of them now is ESL Challanger Katowice. Here they will face B8 in the opening match of the group. I think they can easily finish 1st in this tournament, which will give them a chance to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 21.

Eternal Fire had previously held bootcamps in various places. Eternal Fire CEO said they wanted to settle somewhere permanently in Europe.
This would be better for online tournaments. They would also earn better income.
It was difficult for them to find sponsors in Turkey due to some laws, but this obstacle will be eliminated in Hungary.
Since Eternal Fire increased its budget, players will indirectly earn more and will positively affect their games.

Speaking of Talon, they have officially signed kuku as part of the team after being placed as a stand-in.

I think we all saw that coming, but the timing of their post is unfortunate since they're officially eliminated in the BB Dacha tournament. Tongue

Also, congrats on your other bet, Mouz and Talon split a map win on that series.

Thanks, both of those teams were already eliminated from the BB Dacha together with L1GA team and nouns and there's a tie breaker between four teams, so 2 series'.

Team Liquid and YkBros
BB and Tundra

This is a battle of just a placing at the upper bracket. I don't know why but this tie breaker were all from the group A teams whilst the B are already placed on. I don't understand it though if the organizers can simply put them to each of the group B teams at the playoffs. Anyway, it's just an SF vs SF 1v1 for both series.

The update of all the teams in graphic version that has been out and the ones that will proceed and the stats they have for the 3 day group stages.

Yep saw that coming from miles away. Especially after they sign Kuku. Its about time people realize that there are far better player out there that play pos 5 rather than having an old player that keep changing his position just because he aged. Dude started from carry iirc and now he is pos 5, he just keep switching pos to fit in a team which is kinda lame imo

In my view, he's still one of the better players in the SEA region and then he only starts to fall short against the tier one teams that participate in the big tournaments.

There's also nothing wrong with switching positions, we've seen other top players do the same and found some success like Matu and Miracle while they're still in Team Liquid back then.

Brave shot, getting a draw against Falcons is not really that impressive because Falcons is not that dominant anymore. GG on the other hands are far better so yeah Im glad this bet paid off for you. Imma start betting on playoff as usual

I'll give the draw a shot on Aurora's final series. They still need one more map win to avoid a tiebreaker between L1ga team and it should be doable against Gaimin Gladiators after they forced a draw in their first series against Team Falcons.

My bets for today with the two remaining games that we have, the other one was for later.

At least you went 1-1 after the matches earlier today. Team Liquid almost made the 2-0 happen, but there's too much threat from the side of BetBoom with their heavy hitting lineup.

Yeah, at least still getting a win despite of some losses. I'm happy with the results that I am having with all of these best of series and we're on the last day of it. I'll wait for the result of my bet with Talon and Mouz before making new ones.
