Vitality game just started and Zywoo looking sharp from the beginning. Hopefully he will continue in same way since I have a bet on Vitality to win 2:0. <...>

what were the odds? hope they were decent, that was literally free money, COL have been crap since oBo left last year, and now they're playing with a stand-in...Zywoo better win the Player of the year on HLTV, dude has been godlike last season and it looks like he's

@ralle14 i'm gonna skip the LPL tomorrow and keep an on the highlight of the day: T1 vs Gen.G...over 2.5 maps maybe?

Alliance - Nigma just started started, the latter with a weird ass draft, w33 getting outplayed left and right, looks to me like game 1 is going to Alliance

i also lost a small multi because of Suning (moneyline + IG -1.5 handicap) Undecided

man, i'm starting to think Suning were overperforming last year, that or they're still missing SwordArt...they looked so shaky in the last 2 games, i feel like that first win against TES was a fluke Sad

also, fuck Bin, dude made SO many mistakes, that 5v5 in the 32min, that dumb play that costed his team the infernal soul...Suning going straight to my ban list for a while

Yeah it's time to put Suning on the blacklist for now and I agree they've overperformed since they suddenly became this good at the start of the summer season. I guess they'll only take it seriously when the qualification for worlds is on the line once again.

That second game was a fiesta though I nearly thought Suning was going to pull it off up until that infernal fight where Bin used his ultimate way too early.

Another SEA news, In Lower Division. Team Assault was disqualified because they're sharing their account during this tournament. And having that said, no confirmation from Valve if they're Team Newbee but I just read some people saying that it's the smurf accounts of Team Newbee which was already banned from Valve events.

Its really normal to see some players within SEA getting banned because some of the players are toxic. Not to flame the Chinese teams but some of their fanbase and players really lack some manners. Its also sad to see Team Newbee which is a former International (TI) Champion team got banned because of Match fixing. Why do they even fix matches when they can just see which is the better team. If they really wanted easy money, they should make their selves better.

Feels sad a former TI champion now gets banned because of match-fixing I think they cannot handle it anymore it's too toxic on their team or organization see the latest news now Sccc is open for new groups at least he leaves and get a good position than getting banned by Valve after the match they have on Ti7 newbee is not winning anymore this is their last opportunity to take home the aegis in china still China against the world it's been a long time before they hold again the Aegis of immortal their Era is already done. There are a lot of rising teams like TNC, Nigma, and more have a chance to get the Ti10.

Before they got disqualified they had some good results finishing second place on ESL and 5th in CDA they have what it takes to become one of the top teams. Most likely it's because of the money that was offered and at that time the tournaments aren't paying that much since they're held online. And I remember a reddit user mentioned that Newbee was struggling financially because of the terrible management.

This really clears the question on why did they do things that. Terrible management will really lead into the fall of the whole franchise and end the careers of the pro players involve. Its also sad to just see that even though they are really fan favorites from different places in the World, managements can get greedy and result into the fall of their teams.

Vitality game just started and Zywoo looking sharp from the beginning. Hopefully he will continue in same way since I have a bet on Vitality to win 2:0. They managed it in last couple of games against Complexity and Complexity is playing with a stand in today so I guess it should be just another day in the office.

Skipping on DOTA today after missing all the games yesterday

Better to wait and judge the form of the teams.

Edit : Suning proving me wrong and go 0-2. Their playstyle was so passive.

i'll try to watch the Alliance - Nigma, not confident about placing any tickets after such a long break though, but any other day i woulda gone with O2.5 maps, these two teams know each other a lot and more often than not their series go to 3 maps. GL!

Won yesterday's combo, today going for:

Vitality vs Complexity and NaVi vs Liquid - MY COMBO BET

Evil Geniuses vs Furia - MY BET

Comboing Vitality and NaVi to multiply the odds, Complexity will play with Jugi as stand-in, don't see much chances for them in matchup against currently second best team in the world, similar thing with NaVi, consider them more consistent team than Liquid (especially after Fallen's arrival) it should be rather safe combo. Furia has played really good game yesterday against G2 and they seems to be in better form than EG, also odds are higher for Brazilians, gonna give them a try here, GL!

Betting on LPL again and taking Suning to win @1.54 vs Rare Atom(Vici) last time they meet was during the Demacia cup and Rare Atom swept Suning 3-0 I doubt Suning will let that happen again.

Later I might go for Team Nigma @1.5 vs Alliance imo Team Nigma should be favored way more in this match up.

Edit : Suning proving me wrong and go 0-2. Their playstyle was so passive.

We're talking about professional players and one is a TI champ. This isn't about toxicity but about them sharing accounts, they were also known to be banned in Valve events because they've been caught throwing a game which believed to be a fixed match. Only them can answer your question why they've done it. With the small amount or probably they've won huge amount from that fixed match way back with the time they've played it. They can still join tournaments but not the elegant Valve events.

Things are finally starting but I will wait for a couple of games to judge the current form before betting big. For today I opted for a couple of surprises. Basically just that every underdog gets at least a map.
LBZS +1.5 - not looking good for me after they threw first map from about +35k money and total control
LGD +1.5
Viking.gg +1.5 - this one I have for quite high stake actually since I belive they can even take the series with a bit of luck
Magma +1.5

Finally some big tournament, missed it very much! Today going for:

Astralis vs EG and G2 vs Furia - MY COMBO BET

Doing combo for Astralis and G2 to multiply the odds since both teams are heavy favorites, hoping for rather safe win. Normally would probably bet on furia in second matchup but today they will play with new player straight from academy (honda) so it's kinda hard to predict how team will perform with that addition to their roster, G2 seems to be more stable, GL!

Starting with LPL for now as I really like FPX to win 2-0 against RW @1.55 I know they lost to EDG on their previous match but RW lost 2-0 to eStar last week and recently they've swapped out their ADC from their academy team.

The pre live odds on the Blast matches is so one sided I feel like every match have a good chance at going over 2.5 but at the same time I don't have the guts to take it since Astralis and G2 could show up at any time.

You're right there's nothing wrong in using smurf accounts so it's most likely that they're the Newbee players and the organizers caught them using a vpn or they told the truth.

Before the ban was annouced publicly some pro players already noticed it but didn't call them out(thread).

Yooooo that's definitely a controversy apocalypse imminent, this fake team scandal will definitely be on Valve's watch. Pro players do not have the right to call out because they are not the authority, maybe pointing out who are the offender will be good enough, investigations should be done on this because this is a big scandal especially for SEA region.

What is the story behind this account sharing, I am pretty sure there is no rules about that, smurfing is bad but they are on a tournament so it does not affect their performance if they switch account. If this is Team Newbee though, this will be problematic for tournament organizers because they will have to raise their standards and create a new regulation regarding the banning matter, too bad Newbee got booted out indefinitely, I don't get why they do those 322 games, they have a lot of money but why stoop that low.

yikes! TSM with a pathetic game against 100T last night, not the debut i expected from SwordArt, plus i also lost my ML ticket cos of that, but i managed to recover thx to Hanwha - DRX going to game 3 today

also Perkz with a terrible debut with Cloud 9...i think i'm gonna skip the LCS this weekend, top teams seem to be a bit rusty after the break Cheesy

Quote from: ralle14 on January 16, 2021, 02:33:59 AM

The odds aren't that great for FPX to win the series @1.38 but i'm still taking it over the handicap since the LPL is too unpredictable. FPX 2-0'd OMG while EDG dropped one against OMG last week.

EDG are up 1-0 but both teams are putting up a good fight in game 2
i'm gonna be very suprised if this ends up 2-0 for them. Btw, +1.5 handicap for FPX @3 live odds, ~~not gonna fall for it tho, looks like a trap lol~~ Fuck! 🤣

@Trofo nice win on EGD handicap 👍
