How do you guys assess OG these days? Do you think they can claim the championship after the return of Ceb?
While their performance in the online tournaments aren't consistent they still have a good chance since the next TI is a year away and now is a good time for them to rebuild while ana is on a break.

I don't think so, there will be another surprise that will happen with OG because I see ANA will always be present when it's at the end of the tournament, so I think ANA will give full support at the Final Session because as I know ANA has started to warm up or play and can be used as an exercise in preparation for the final tournament.

They really need Ana so badly. Still no one can replaced ANA as pos.1 even Sumail and worst MidOne. Mid One pos.1 is very unstable and he was always left behind by opponent pos.1, He surely not fitted anymore for Pos. 1. Saksa is doing great as replacement to jerAx as pos.4 although JerAx is the best. Saksa gameplay is very consistent and very stylish. I hope Ana will really back on TI or else we can see an early exit for OG on TI.

of course ANA is a very important point for OG victory, so when ANA is not in the competition at the start then I will doubt OG can win but when ANA is present then I am sure he can make the OG team win again and surely ANA will really really feared by many teams, because without ANA, OG will not feel alive.

Everyone is now talking about ANA after CEB's comeback. OG is not in their full strength without ANA, their carry which is MidOne is not strong as ANA and it is the reason why they keep losing in many tournaments. They recently let go Sumail because of his poor performance and his bad attitude. The number 1 team in the world today is the Secret. Their carry is so good which is Matumbaman but he is no much to OG if ANA is playing.

Ceb already talked about this but he never really stated an obvious answer. They let go Sumail because of this.

Sumail is a better player and I guess without this pandemic, they will be trampling the offline tournaments with Ana just standing and watching at their sides.

Did you work out yoyur total score? there is a formula, I read it on the forum you linked

I would get about at least a hundred points if it hits and there are a few entries below the hundred so i'd probably have a decent chance to win one of the lower prizes since there's 25+ entries so far. Cheesy

Second attempt at the parlay contest, somewhat confident on Schalke and G2 to win as they're looking better recently than the other teams even though they have a slightly worse record.

I also have them on another seperate parlay with a slightly higher stake. I only added the LCS favorites so I could place higher if it hits. Tongue

I was really tempted by this, parlays is my thing anyway.

I don't mind betting stinking fiat, but I would hate to fritter away Bitcoins.

forgot to post my tips earlier, but at least there's a game left which aTTax - B5. The germans been recovering from two shocking defeats in the Nine to Five and they haven't looked too bad, B5 on the other hand have been pretty iregular in this offseason, plus the h2h favors ATX (6-1).

I might give LEC summer a shot later today

Ana will comeback, don't worry but it's unsure when he'll comeback. There's no TI for this year it's assumable that he'll be back for OG next year. And for the replacement and slot that he will be replacing, it's for sure that MidOne is going to be out of OG when they are about to approach the qualifiers for 2021. Too bad that MidOne is always getting kicked but I'm sure that he'll be on a better team if Ana replaces him.

ANA is one of the best carry in DOTA 2 because of his IQ. He always invented crazy meta and build. He carry the OG many times and it is the reason why they became 2x T. I champion. I also excited to see ANA playing dota again, it's been months and he still in the rest mode. His teammate which is jerax already retired in playing Dota 2 but I hope that the OG will be in the finals again with ANA. The team Nigma and Fnatic are now also strong. OG really need ANA because they are having hard time to win in different tournaments.

<...> The important thing is, popular teams are already playing it and it's mainstream in different platforms.

Yeah, the top esports team know that there's potential in Valorant, it's just a matter of time now cuz you don't wanna end up like Apex Legends (showed some promise for a while but ended up being forgotten Cheesy

) some major tournaments are starting to pop up (liquipedia has a few in A-tier here), so it's possible that in Q4 this year or Q1 next year we'll see the first S-tier tournament

Well, Apex Legends is kinda different from Valorant, it's a battle royale and all FPS players are still interested in the CS:GO type of match even it got launched and mainstreamed. I used to play Apex legends for 3 seasons, and obviously battle royale aren't suitable in betting platforms because it's hard to know who's gonna win if the drops on a certain area are RNG. Definitely, a good team will still lose if they have a fight with a gold armor team while wearing white armor. Anyways, many people are already thinking that Valorant is almost the same with CS:GO, I doubt it will have the same future with Apex Legends and besides, they have different game developers and I know that Riot Games will spend millions of money to make the game last longer as they did on the league.

Another thing is that Valorant is still a new game and one of the best way to keep your game for a long time is having a bind with the community. As CSGO have ways to tell what they want like making maps, Valorant don't have that. Well, Valorant in their first release have their bonds too but some players are worrying how the maps are so claustrophobic and not that well-made.

As I said, it is still a new game so obviously there will be a lot of development that will happen through time. Still, I don't see CSGO going down because of Valorant.

I am still new at this so is there some nice DOTA related page. Something like HLTV for CS. Where I can easily see H2H, all upcoming matches etc. Usually I see the games in my bookie offer and then I check what it is about

Should be other way around.

like @ralle14 said, liquipedia have a simple tool to check H2H, but my go-to website to check h2h, recent matches, record in the last few months, players stats, live coverage with scoreboard, detailed match stats including graphs, etc is Dotabuff. I've added it to the OP

Back for some league action, I currently got this good looking parlay hoping it hits so I could post it in stake's parlay promotion and maybe at least take one of the ten prizes.

what parlay promotion? is it esports related?

It's not esports related, the promotion is posted on their forum there's not much requirement other than the bet amount and the parlay to win. The ranking is determined by the number of legs in your parlay, total odds and highest odds. The first five prizes are nice if you can hit a long shot parlay. Cheesy

For the head to head I use the dota liquipedia page, when you click the "i" logo on a specific match there's a bar graph on the bottom that shows all the head to head results.

Here's an example between OG and Alliance.

I barely see any people talk about Valorant which is one of the mainstream game and most of the CS:GO players are already playing it.
<...>

the game still doesn't have a solid and well-known/well-organized competitive scene, this is obviously cuz it's been out for a few months. Give it a few more months, if its popularity remains the same or better yet it goes up, bookies will start offering more and more lines and esport bettors will begin to throw money at it and ppl will talk more about it

Even in the beta start of the Valorant, there are many tournaments that happened and even the first week of its launch, many popular fps players already have a team. Even here in Southeast Asia, there are many current CS:GO players that shifted to Valorant. It's true that the Valorant don't have any tournament that is so popular like Worlds or The International, but those tournaments are already enough for any betting sites. The important thing is, popular teams are already playing it and it's mainstream in different platforms.

There's not much bookies offering odds for Valorant except for loot bet that's why it's not discussed here even though it's one of the popular games at the moment. If stake have i'll probably give it a try but for now I just have to stick with league, dota, csgo and a little bit of cod.

I have almost the exact same bet as you, except i picked cr4zy 1.5, thank god i didn't take them to win, their CT side on inferno was horrid.

Waiting on SG.pro now, hopefully it does not go to decider map, as BIG Academy have better recent stats on overpass. Let's see...
