Complexity just won their first map (Nuke) as they picked. Fnatic are good today , have to say.

Fnatic indeed played very well, i thought they would push it to double OT (Nuke) and end the game in two maps. Glad i stayed away from the moneyline.

Waiting on Vitality later today as almost everyone has them win, hopefully we are not all wrong about it. Cheesy

What do you guys think about complexity +1.5 and vitality ml totals at about 1.99....or simply go with complexity ml?

Complexity just won their first map (Nuke) as they picked. Fnatic are good today , have to say. Kinda had my good amount of balance on Complexity +1.5 . Glad they were able to win on Nuke in OT. Next map is Mirage, I am kinda want to bet on Complexity but Fnatic are playing quite well today. Fnatic might not have good records in Mirage but I've gotta feeling that its gonna change here maybe/

Anyway will pass.

ENCE and Vitality are the two teams to qualify for BLAST Premier EU Finals. I was rooting for MAD Lions to advance, but they lost in a very competitive/close game vs ENCE in two maps. They still have a chance though, play-in match vs NiP next week. To be seen...

I was late to the Complexity Gaming vs Fnatic party, I just joined in, It's currently 4 apiece.

I took Fnatic to win the 2nd Map @ 1.99, elsewhere I'm with you on Vitality and as for Mad Lions I went overboard with -1.5 @ 2.9 odds.

Its his job to critique so he'll pick a fight with everyone but its not especially valid to evaluate performance right now as online is alot different to LAN for most teams <..<>

And they lost Xyp and gla1ve for the time being, and they've been playing with the new guys for like two weeks. Thorin was just being an oportunist jerk.

I've heard him come out with far worse, its true enough teamwork is key to csgo consistent wins but we already know they dont have their full team. Turns out they need the full team, he is not getting a cigar for this one. Thorin has had a go at just about everyone in the game, he puts alot of bias to IGL players who typically under-perform while doing that job.

Aliance-Secret - over 3.5 @1,45

Man, Alliance did not show up today at all :/ they had a couple of good team fights in game 3 but that's it...

Well, that's enough Dota for me, gonna go ahead and take a long break just chill and wait for the BLAST Bounty Hunt...which starts next Tuesday Grin

No picks for tomorrow, CSGO matches are meh.

I wasn't able to watch first 2 maps but this 3rd one was all the time in Secret favor. As you said Aliance had a few nice team fights and nikobaby did good job on that PL but that was nowhere near enough to turn the tables on Secret. Really thought that Aliance will manage to take at least one map but in the end it was another bad day for my bank

I checked the drafts a bit and it seems to me that Aliance lost all the maps in the drafting stage. To win against team Secret you need both perfect draw and perfect execution and they weren't even close on either point.

Alliance didn't show up ? I think it was more like Team Secret being "Team Secret" freaking terrific! I also had the Over 3.5.

Elsewhere I've got Vitality ML looks like they'll complete their come back after the sloppy 1st Map.

I don't know why Thorin is so mad or started beef with dev1ce though. Is there a history between them? I do agree that he should just ignore this guy, it is true that he is a good analyst but that doesn't mean that he should call dev1ce a loser. They won multiple majors, consecutive wins even. If dev1ce is a loser, what am I?

He doesn't have any previous beef with device and we all feel like it was a publicity stunt from Thorin. As analyst I think you should note all the things. Astralis is going through tough time and its gotta take time to build on. Seriously wasn't expected from such senior analyst and commentator to lash out on twitter, seems kinda immature.

What are your betting selections for today?

My high stake ticket has:
PSG.LGD -1.5 @1.45 -this one already started, first map was a bit of the scare but PSG managed to take it
Aliance-Secret - over 3.5 @1,45 - hopefully this one should go over easy, Aliance now knows that they can take Secret, and Secret will be gunning for some revenge.

My low stake ticket has the two above plus some football and following CS:
Mad Lions ML @1.8
Vitality ML @ 1.5

Don't trust the CS selections much today but it would be bloody nice if it all goes according to the plan

How terrible do you feel you added a relatively small-odd bet to your single bet to boost the total Odds a bit and then bang! You lost the bet because of that ? It stings right ? I still haven't come to terms with myself, I took Mbir ML live during the 2nd Map they were around 2-6 up (not sure) @2.44 and I really don't know what I was thinking, I looked for another live game to increase the Odds to at least 3x, the rest they say is history Sad

Ouch!!, That's hard. Happens with me as well. I also know the feeling of getting tempted with low odds in order to push the bet a little further and boost the odds. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't. Hope you didn't had quite some money on that one... otherwise gonna sting more. Undecided

Haven't tried betting Costa Rican football but corners are really risky especially outside the major leagues. Also wasn't there any other major league going on like bundesliga at that time? (game wasn't that good but still you would have found some good markets to bet on to boost the odds on the betslip).

Now Thorin vs device @tomahawk9: https://www.essentiallysports.com/csgo-thorin-lashes-out-at-astralis-members-on-twitter-coldzera-dev1ce-mibr-twitter-esports-news-2020/

They are world champions, I never understood why they arent still that same threat. Did they just get older or some obvious problem or other teams got better and specifically adapted to their tactics because when you are at the top it makes you the target of everyone in the game. I still remember them being nobody and defeating Fnatic on mirage, they werent even paid properly at that time and Flusha gifted them plane flights I think it was for a LAN.

I see they have each won the others map pick and now Dust2 decider, glad Tarik and his team arent failing badly at least. Still slightly surprising to me, not a confident bet.

I guess they are at the point where they are burning out. This is the hardest part in esports, professional players do it non-stop. Practice over practice and continuous tournaments to attend to, that is why players can he easily burn out and retire, no choice but do streaming or coach. I guess TariK can do better but they are being covered by this new players that can dominate the majors and minors. Even s1mple is falling behind Zywoo.

Man, TACO and FalleN is such a deadly duo. IIRC FalleN had like 16 kills in round 7 of map 1? something crazy like that lol Good luck in your picks.

Yeah 16-17 in just 7 rounds, he was really unstoppable in initial rounds of map 1. His whole team had kills in single figures while he already passed the double figures. TACO wasn't good in map 1 but he did good and lifted the play for MIBR in map 2 and map 3.

Let's see how MIBR performs today against EG.

CSGO, There were no upsets in today's fixtures, that's why I prefer the BO3 games

We almost got one. Triumph were close to KO'ing Gen.G but the latter manage made a great comeback.

MIBR vs Cloud9 was really fun to watch. <...>

Most NA games have been 10/10 so far so i'm going with NA teams again:
CSGO
FURIA - Gen.G O2.5 @1.94 ✖
EG - MIBR O2.5 @1.88 ✔
Dota
Team Secret -1.5 @1.65 ✔

GJ @tomahawk9. Seems like you are on good win streak.

MIBR vs Cloud9 was really fun to watch. MIBR are really not that good in overpass but still they had a good lead playing on CT side. Fallen really played godlike as expected with his AWP. Also insane comeback from MIBR in map 2 (inferno) and map 3 (dust2).

Today we have some crazy quarterfinals in Blast Premier Spring. Will go with Europe first:

Fnatic vs Vitality (my pick: over 2.5 maps @1.86)
ENCE vs mousesports (my pick: ENCE ML @1.99 / safer with ENCE +1.5 (@1.31))
