Thanks, the game has already started and the first map was taken by Apex Genesis. They're already on the 2nd map and hopefully that they will able to pull this with a 2-0. Otherwise, I hope it would end still with a win even if it ends with 2-1.
It's a clean sweep from Apex Genesis, they had full control of the networth lead in both maps and FUSION didn't even get the opportunity to put up a good fight with how quickly both maps ended.

My MongolZ bet got so sweaty yesterday, Heroic had the opportunity to end the series on a 2-0, then they fumbled the crucial round to give MongolZ a way back to tie things up. After that the MongolZ just run away with the series and Heroic can't keep up with their raw aim.
I knew the matchups wouldn't be close unlike yesterday so i'll play it safe with Team Liquid to win against MIBR. I also had to live bet G2 after they stole a map win from Faze and got some free odds boost out of it.

It's a clean sweep from Apex Genesis, they had full control of the networth lead in both maps and FUSION didn't even get the opportunity to put up a good fight with how quickly both maps ended.There's also an EPL World Series, American region Dota 2 that's happening now. This includes North and South American teams. I've bet on Apex Genesis against Fusion. SA teams are underrated but most teams there are very competitive in the pro scene.
Best of luck with that, it's a battle between the top teams, and the value play is definitely on Apex Genesis based on their roster.There's also an EPL World Series, American region Dota 2 that's happening now.

The odds might make the MongolZ look overrated, but i'd rather ride their momentum here after edging out two teams they shouldn't have won against.

Congratulations to BetBoom for winning the Blast Slam I taking home $400k prize money whilst Tundra goes home with half of it.
The only thing that I dislike from this tournament is the format. Basically those that had great result on group stage got the benefit of starting at higher start point for the playoff. I am really tempted to put an outright bet for Betboom to win in ESL one because of their performance against Tundra but then again I realized that they only played 6 times in total on this tournament
These numbers are totally not enough to convince me that they could win the ESL One as well

It reminds me of the formats from the LoL and CS2 tournaments where teams can skip a match or two in the playoffs if they're the first in their group.These numbers are totally not enough to convince me that they could win the ESL One as well
There are points up for grabs in the upcoming ESL tournament and surely the WEU teams would do their best to catch up in the leaderboards. Even then, i'd still say BetBoom has one of the better chances that could likely make it in the finals since we've seen them show up two in a row.

I agree, I didn't thought that they'll make it but they're strong - no doubt. I'm even more counting on the new OG roster but they didn't make it. I've picked still BB over Tundra because I think that they've got a better odds and everyone's expecting them to play better but the bookies has given 1.65 for Tundra.
Good call on BetBoom, I was heavily leaning on Tundra, but BetBoom is one step ahead, and it could've been a sweep when map two felt like a game of inches.At least they finally broke the curse and snagged a trophy since they've been through several finals and couldn't get through the final hurdle that's usually Falcons or Tundra.

I've been following the Shanghai Major these past few days and wanted to test a few picks before the elimination stage. All of the series are now bo3 so i'm assuming there's less room for upsets unlike with the bo1 in the early rounds.
Gonna bet for the finals.
Let's go BetBoom!
Anyway, some bets for the BLAST Slam. It's already on the semifinals and my bets are no brainer. Since these teams are all great, it's all about who performs better.
We got another Tundra vs. BetBoom rematch in the finals, crazy to think that this same Tundra team was looking like one of the weakest teams the other week after missing out on the ESL qualifiers and now they're the only other team left standing together with BetBoom. 
Interestingly, we're still getting close odds here even though H2H favors Tundra and BetBoom is playing with gpk instead of kiyotaka.

Team NaVi has acquired team PuckChamp roster and they'll be playing in the ESL One Bangkok
NAVI Returns To Dota 2 By Signing Shad and BOOM’s PuckChamp
So, NaVi's roster is now this;

They don't have a big chance but the best teams right now came from the bottom and being unknown too.
Good luck to NaVi.

As per checking these players are just new to my eyes, well not BOOM because I've seen him before, but if they want to qualify in the tournament they need to make sure they can do all their best to win their matches, imagine tons of teams created recently and most of them are already in the pro scene few years back and would like to create a name again so this could be hard to them to quality if there's a lot of gate keepers well lets see until this rooster can do, because Tundra before and OG have this line up but end up to re-shuffle again.

Luckily, the gatekeepers in their region received a direct invite (Parivision, BetBoom, and Team Spirit) because they've got some of the highest EPT points on the leaderboard. Their roster is somewhat stacked though and QBFY is probably the only player that doesn't have a lot of experience.Anyway, I had my money today on Team Liquid. Parivision always ended up surprising me. I had them on the last EPT Tournament to get into final but they lost so yeah I dont even consider the possibility that they were going to win against Team Liquid tonight
I also had a ticket on Team Liquid, and they got gapped in their series against Parivision. Their TB pick was so underwhelming he didn't have that much impact in the 5v5 team fights and was forced to play at the backline for the most part.

We have a lot of new faces that qualified (Boom, Shopify, beastcoast, Gaozu) so it's a brawl between the top 5 down to the last place. Also, I think this is the best opportunity for the underdogs to pull off upsets, the overall skill level isn't as stacked when you compare these teams to the ones participating in the Blast tournament.

Sometimes its not about winning but its kinda like exposure for NaVi. They are a top organization and obviously they are missing out when they dont have a team on dota2 esport scene so its kinda understandable from the exposure PoV
Across from all 16-20 teams that usually make it to top tournament, only about 5 of them actually were making money from tournaments. Most of the other teams dont actually make money as their expenses on wages are alot
While that's true and that's why the most successful ones are also getting the better offers from sponsors. So, it's not only about the prize money but also advertising money from their sponsoring brands. They don't have a big chance but the best teams right now came from the bottom and being unknown too.
Good luck to NaVi.

Astralis' first ban was Anubis, I wonder what the difference would have been if it had been Anubis instead of Dust2.
Anubis isn't on their map pool so it'll be an instant win for Eternal Fire if they somehow let that through after the first ban.Even if they win against Astralis, the odds are stacked against them. They still need to pull off two series wins in a row because if they move to the 2-2 bracket, they face 9pandas next. After that, they'll go to the 7th place tiebreakers due to the Buchholz system and clash with Team Spirit.
