Yes, Jackky is recognized as one of the best carries in Tier 2 teams. Watch now the BTS PRO Series Season 4: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/BTS/Pro_Series/4/Southeast_Asia
The game is already on and live today.
The match is MG.Trust (former team of Jackky) versus T1 (GeekFam old roster + Jackky). I can't say that MG.Trust is leading and T1 is sure win, they're par I should say on this first game. The match is only for two games.
After their match, it's TNC versus Fnatic. Debut match of Fnatic too after a long time with their new team mates Masaros and Raven.

Lower bracket playoffs starts later today and I really like the over 2.5 on Team Liquid vs Team Nigma since Team Liquid is sometimes doing role swaps between their carry and mid.

I agree, their current situation seems similar when they took in sumail as their position 1 it's not working out for them. He needs to go back to his roots and stick with the position 2/mid role.

I didn't watch this game but I saw this clip, Team Nigma pulling off some sneaky backdoor play to steal the game from Gambit.

man, i forgot about the Epic League play-ins today   

looks like Liquid didn't have any problems against Spider Pigz. OG with another clean 2-0 Live to Win, but Nigma seem to be struggling against Gambit, most kills and 10k gold lead for the latter in 40min of play, looks like they're go to game 3

i added Just Error moneyline at 1.55 to a single bet, although i feel like Yellow Submarine will be a real test for Sumail & Co

isn't Jackky like one of the best carry in tier 2 dota? looks like a solid roster, are they going to debut in the BTS Pro Series next week or is it too early?

And that's usually the reaction of other fans when a pro team gets rekt by another pro team. They sometimes stumble just like how Virtus.Pro beat the undefeatable Team Secret.
Btw, T1 (Dota 2) has announced their roster and it's composed of Geek Fam's roster + Jackky as pos 1.

Next match alternate aTTaX vs x6tence  im hope Alternate wins this match, butt that can be hard.
im watch in last time x6tence how they playing they play very well.
alternate have an good day ome on have bet on alternate. 

MMR measure how good you are in terms of match winning and hero win rate. So the higher the MMR the better player you are. 4-5k MMR is somehow on the semi-pro level, 11K MMR is the highest record so far in DOTA2. So based on his statement, Nigma performance is just an average compared on the enemy team.

Team secret is a pretty solid team. All there support player really works in synchronize to AgentM. Tossing out Midone is the best decision they done and we can see the result on the current performance of OG. Midone as Pos1 of OG really gives them a hard time. Very inconsistent player.

Please translate, maybe there is more of us newer to eSports who have no clue what that means 

I am mainly on football today but I have added over 3.5 maps on mousports - Astralis game @1.41 to my multi. I am expecting a good match in the final and if that happens this should pass easy. Would not be surprised if we get full 5 maps here so this more secure option should be free money.

Dota2
OMG, it was easy for Navi yesterday, got my 163 euros from that bet,
today i am going to bet on Secret to win vs Nigma, both showed  bad game but still i beleive in Secret, Nigma showing 4-5k MMR game on this event

What a come back in second map for Virtus.Pro vs. Fnatic. I had over 2.5 maps in this one and already thought my ticket is a bust. Fnatic took opponents map pick and then had something like 13:7 on their own pick. That is the time when I turned it off and went to take the dog for a walk. I came back and it is 13:13 and immediately Fnatic makes a good clutch and has 14:13 with bad economy for Virtus.Pro. Now I know what I have to do, I turn it off the stream and come back now to see they are playing third map

Dota 2
Okay, today i expect from Navi the same game they showed yesterday with viking and fast gg from secret. I bet on navi to win today.

Feels great to hit a multi after trying for a few days. Going back to a single bet and picking OG to win vs Just Error with their 4-4 record they're in a good position to tie with the other teams for the upper bracket spot if they win which they should. The only way they lose here is if they become too confident and start picking some unusual heroes. For the other series I like the over on Nigma vs Liquid and the +1.5 handicap on Navi but i'll probably do some live betting since you can sometimes tell which team will win based off the draft.

I haven't watched this match but you can follow the game schedules on liquipedia. It seems that this game has been commenced and ended. The match winner is Team Liquid.

Congrats.

in 15 min Start an great match BIG vs OG 
that gone be very hard to say who will win, im realy dont now.

and now live Astralis vs Gambit Esports firs tmap win Astralis now second map 3:0 for Gambit 
im think Astralis will win.

What happened with this match? I see that Navi - Viking is starting at the moment and that one should have been later.

I have a lot of money riding on Liquid, trying to exploit Mudgolems bad form. I just settled in front of PC to watch it and then  Where can I find news for stuff like this.

moneyline picks everywhere,, guess i'm the only one going with Over 2.5 maps on Furia - COL and NAVI - Vikingg

yeah, quite the catchy name for this update: CS:GO: Operation Broken Fang, i dig it. Love how they brought Aztec back from cs 1.6 but with modern graphics LOL

i might actually install this game again because of this update, haven't touched it in a few months but i'm interested in trying out the new ping system

[DOTA 2] Only 2 more days until the end of the EPIC League Division 1 group stage. The situation is getting pretty hot. Bottom 4 teams are fighting for survival, while on the top there is a fierce battle for the 1st seed. Here are my picks and predictions for Friday matches.

Liquid vs Mudgolems: Liquid ML

Team Liquid are straight favourites here with a nice odds on their win. Mudgolems are the last ranked team in the division. With 2 wins out of 8 matches, they are not looking good currently. They are fighting for their survival and this is their deciding match. If they lose this, they will hardly end on that 8th or higher spot that leads to the playoffs. In the last 1 month, those two teams played 3 times. Liquid have 2 wins, while Mudgolems one. But their matches were always back and forth. Liquid entered this tournament with 4 straight losses, but they’ve managed to pull it back and with 3 straight wins they are not in the play for the playoffs. They need this win too. And in this moment they are a better squad.

Natus Vincere vs Vikin.gg: Natus Vincere ML

I’m going with an underdog here. It’s the logical choice here for me, as I see a big potential for a surprise here. Vikin.gg lost to Nigma in their last series, and NaVi showed some amazing series wins against Alliance and Nigma. I do believe they have everything to beat Vikin.gg which are currently holding 1st place in the division. One month ago, NaVi did beat Vikin.gg 2-0 in the playoffs of the ESL One Germany. Even though I do believe this match will be much closer and favouring Vikin.gg slightly because of their recent performance, NaVi will surely have their chance. Vikin.gg has only 2 losses in this competition, one vs Alliance and another one vs Nigma. Overall, their performance was impressive last week. However, I’m picking NaVi here or over 2.5 maps, which can potentially be a good bet too.

Virtus.Pro vs Alliance: Virtus Pro ML

VirtusPro is on fire. With knocking Team Secret down in their match yesterday, they are surely looking to be one of the biggest contenders here for now. 6 wins, 2 losses, and they are sharing 1st place with Vikin.gg. This young squad has pretty impressive results lately, and their performance is speaking for itself. 2-0 vs Secret, 2-0 vs Nigma, 2-0 vs OG are surely the results that show how strong they are right now. On the other side, Alliance is fighting for survival. With 2 wins and 6 losses, they are struggling not to drop out of the tournament before the playoffs. They are one of the worse performing teams currently in Division 1. I don’t think that they can win against such a strong VirtusPro squad right now. VirtusPro are clear favourites in this series.

I just saw there is a new operation available for CSGO. This will likely draw new attention to the old game again and we might see some teams coming out. I didn't read anything yet about a new tournament yet, but it might just be around the corner. What is your take on new competitve maps? Will we see some new teams dominating the old teams on these maps? It would be nice to bet on an underdog team who is very specialised in these maps.

Bets for today:

Heroic vs GODSENT - MY BET

mousesports vs Cloud9 - MY BET

FURIA vs Complexity - MY BET

Gambit vs Astralis - MY BET

One rather safe bet on Heroic but wanna risk with the rest. Cloud9 is starting to play really good on Dreamhack and odds are great. Furia vs CoL - imho even matchup, going for Complexity here at 2.20. Also gonna give Gambit a chance, kinda crazy but they are playing incredibly well recently and have't lost a match since October, imo worth a try at those odds even against Astralis, GL!

Going against mudgolems once again as they face Team Liquid a win here secures them to the play ins and a chance to take one of the last two spot for the play offs. Skipping the other series since VP and Vikin.gg already qualified. Combined it with mousesports for a total of 2.2 since they've beaten C9 recently (blast qualifiers).


I got baited by Secret as well I had them pre game with terrible odds at 1.4, VP is just too good.

Secret -VP
Just took juicy odds for this Secret game (to win), hope they win that 2 maps 2-1 )
