I guess benching twist and getting a stand in is all it takes to light up the team once again or maybe it's Astralis having a bad day and still broken after getting denied by NaVi.  Cheesy

Its very rare to see a new player making such performance and rising up to occassions when needed in lifting up the team. zte really played well and TBH they all did well. ztr was however very good but they all as a team played well against 2020' champions. They completely read Astralis like a book.
Damn, did not expect Astralis to lose. I even had them to win 2:0. Did not watch the match but from above comment I concluded that NIP played great and did their homework well which helped them.

Now I have over on BIG march. OG lost their map pick but they started 2nd map great with 5:0 so I am having high hopes for this one.

NIP are giving a hard fight against Astralis. I would have also backed Astralis since NIP are performing poorly. They already have won their map pick - Inferno and Astralis needs to do heavy work in remaining map to get win in their group stage match.

TBH NIP are doing surprisingly well. Wonder what is going on with them in previous couple of matches.
Yeah that was one hell of a performance from NiP I didn't expect Astralis to get 2-0'd like that during the start of second half of the second map I thought Astralis was about to seal the deal but NiP kept on going.

I'm going with Astralis (-1.5) as well NiP looking like a tier two/three team at the moment given their recent form from the summit tournament.

Esports saved my hide
Well done on pulling those big parlays, those clubhouse rewards can sometimes be a life saver I remember going hard on nfl few months ago and nearly lost most of my winnings then out of nowhere the clubhouse reward gave me a lucky win to salvage the disaster i've started.  Tongue

ugh, between work and my new gaming pc, i barely have time lately to research esports matches or even watch 'em  Cheesy

today, top tier CSGO returns with BLAST premier...no value in the popular markets of the Astralis - NIP match unless the latter wins their map pick, then we're off to the races...So, my only prematch ticket will be
OG - BIG


btw, anyone here follows competitive Madden NFL? I just realized Buffbet are now offering Madden matches on their site. pretty cool, i didn't know there was a competitive scene in this game =P


almost 70mbtc won...not even in my best day i woud win that many coins...keep it up 👍

I rarely go for odds above even but I think this is worth a shot Secret 2-0 Team Nigma @2.4 i'm confident Secret will take this series since this will decide which team will get the major playoff spot. My first plan was to go with the over 2.5 but I really like the value bet on the sweep since both teams will always pull these weird big brain drafts that works or it just doesn't at all kind of similar to OG but Secret are the slightly better players.


Congratulations, Secret just swept Team Nigma for 2-0.
The game looks easy for them and as I'm watching it, I thought that Nigma would give them a hard game but it seems that it wasn't. Even with the 2nd game with a good combo of ES + Morph for Nigma, it was just knocked by Matumbaman's Ursa as the MVP for me.

That what you written up there is exactly the reason why I went for Nigma +1.5. If both teams take strange drafts I am thinking Nigma will out draft them in one map and they are much better side now with Kuroky back in play. I am thinking this one is going your way since I used all my eSports luck for today.

Esports saved my hide, I lost a shitload of money on tennis and managed to get it back betting my clubhouse rewards on eSports. If only that one other tennis went right direction. There would be a very nice plus as well.

Well, their captain is Skem which is a former pos 5 while their offlane was the former pos 4. I say that all of them are versatile and very flexible with their chosen roles or there's a sudden agreement from any of them to play the other position if they want to or if it's needed.
Their drafts are totally crazy and gets into the meta even though by just looking at it they're seems to be funny yet but the execution and performance is always flawless.
Good to see that no one is talking about OG as the only darling of the crowd, it seems to me that I have a lot of catching up to do with all this new teams. After this DPC season, The International is going to be field with new young teams that are pretty promising considering that a lot of the old roster from TI9 has significantly change, hopefully this meta will be a gamechanger for the International and to be able to see another team that is going to hold the Aegis of Champions.
As for the upcoming TI, I haven't seen a team that can be considered a new and dark horse. But you knew it right that they're interesting teams just like the unforgettable Wings Gaming. Most teams have to catch up and get as much as DPC points that they can. It's not time for them to waste because the higher place that they'll get for this season, will secure them a slot in the TI. No one talks about OG because they are struggling. All of the regions are interesting to check and watch the games except in the South America, beastcoast is dominating their region.

I actually went the other way Smiley I had Suning -1.5 which passed easy and I have placed it on a double with BLG taking at least one map. So far it is looking better for your bet. First map is just over and RNG took it in dominating fashion.
I'm regretting that now Tongue felt like i've jinxed RNG yesterday their drafting went downhill after that first game and good job on taking BLG's handicap.  Cheesy

It's been a while since i've placed a bet on dota but i'm somewhat confident on Alliance later today against Chicken Fighters. I think this is a much needed 2-0 for them so they'll be in a good position if it comes down to a  potential tiebreaker.

I know someone who is high ELO quake player, plays CS but actually is main Quake.   If I discuss a game tip to discuss this with him and maybe put on a bet.   Cant say Im otherwise familiar enough to be confident in other games.   The sad thing about the decline in NA CS games has been that time slot was most convenient for me to watch and bet and not be distracted, asia area and even europe can be conflicting with actually doing things and being busy elsewhere.
   I can see matches I might watch on Tues but not bettable especially, DIG over Endpoint but its possibly not listed because the odds wont make it competitive enough I'll check back and see, Thusday 4th appears to be when I should be putting down multiple bets next.

I've updated the Calendar in the OP!

February seems to be a slow month for a lot of esports. Rainbow Six, Overwatch, Rocket League, Starcraft 2 and Brood War barely have any big tournaments. This probably means some bookmakers will offer more games like Quake, Hearthstone and Call of Duty to attract more punters...i'm down for more Quake matches (:

Looking forward to some Dota action in the DreamLeague tomorrow with Alliance and Team Liquid

There's LPL starting in a few minutes but i'll skip Suning since I still have trust issues on them so that leaves me with the RNG vs BLG series. After RNG took down WE 2-0 in their last series i'm taking the -1.5 handicap Xiaohu's top lane performance have been amazing so far hopefully he'll hard carry the team once again.

I watched the LCK yesterday and T1 getting stomped by Afreeca Freecs was something else. I thought it'll be the other way around but T1 is so terrible. I'm surprised that the bookies still favor them heavily against Nongshim the +1.5 handicap @1.58 might be a decent value.

Who is tuning in the Dota Pro Circuit in SEA in Upper Division? Who watched TNC versus Neon's first game? That pos 5 of Neon, Jaunuel always gets to use crazy heroes to become pos 5.
Before it was Void pos 5, with the first game, he used Troll as pos 5.

Neon's captain got this very versatile way on how they would play or play mind tricks on their opponent DURING the draft and they should really deliver whatever draft that they are doing and they absolutely won fair and square using this kind of drafting. They must have used it within scrimmages because no pro-player would even try testing a supposedly position 1 hero for position 5 although we recently saw Lifestealer as a position 4 in the CIS/EU region.
