GIVE ME YOUR WINNING TICKETS FOR TOMORROW!!! Grin I'm not getting three losses in a row, please!
Already posted my picks above.

Unless s1mple and eletronic start trolling, Na'Vi should win against COL, the latter were pretty shaky against OG the other day. I don't trust FaZe or Vitality so i'd rather avoid picking a winner and go with maps, should be a close game. BIG - forZe...easiest match the germans have had in a long time.

Main bet is Furia to WIN...gotta bounce back from that shitshow of a match against MIBR, and Liquid's performance last night was pretty bad, so large bet on the brazilians, let's go!!

I watched Dust2 and like you said EG were losing, even when they won a couple I didnt think it'd be nearly enough.   NAF did 2 great clutches and he is a great player  often, the odds for EG to win this series at this point were @10  which for live bets might be the max possible.    I did bet EG but I didnt bother adding at that point, I figured EG had lost their dust mojo and went to get food.

2 clutches by NAF while simultaneously somehow his team only got a further 3 rounds after being 5-0 up.

This weird fuckery continued with my bet on ENCE to win the first map against G2. Train isn't one of G2's fav maps, in fact, in their last two games they had won only 8 rounds total:



Same with me on EG vs Team Liquid 2nd Map. I've never been lucky with those 22:30 (GMT+1) fixtures to be honest.. I was already on my best mood with Team Liquid up by 5 and EG yet to get on the score board, then the whole story change  Angry

Liquid were such a joy to watch in the first map and NAF with some really smart play, the best imo being during their T-side running away from a gun fight in the bomb site vs two EG players, leaving them to diffuse the bomb, then bang! He went around and over the roof to take them both out from behind (all in a jiffy)  Grin

GIVE ME YOUR WINNING TICKETS FOR TOMORROW!!! Grin I'm not getting three losses in a row, please!

I could use a win too, I went from 5 straight wins to two consecutive losses.

EDIT* Furia lost 0-2 vs. MIBR...2020 is officially a weird ass year lol

Live betting ftw "look Furia lost the first map, but they are the favs so why not put a mid-sized bet on them to win 2nd map?" @1.38 Cheesy
Not to mention that it took more than 10min to place my bet, technical problems my ass...

EG just to win Dust2 was showing as 5.4 right now, seems like fair odds to consider.   I hesitated too long and its disappeared but EG can win dust2 I'd hope as its not a strat map but I missed this first map so maybe they really are tired and unlikely to pull anything out of the bag.    I can see why Liquid has been doing so well but 3 maps is still a possible.

That match was such a shitshow lol and then the whole thing on social media with this and then this, cringe!

@Harko  awful series, lasted like what? 3 hours? But it's bit sad that MIBR can only beat Furia in Bo3 whenever there's some shady stuff going down  Tongue can't wait until they meet again, gonna be a bloodbath, Furia are going to annihilate MIBR is gonna be hard to watch Grin

Yeah right, a total shit show.

I'm in on Liquid vs Evil Geniuses; It's Dust 2 for 2nd Map, that's Evil Geniuses 2nd worse performing map and Liquid's Best, since EG are even getting swept under the carpet in their own picked map, I reckon that this would be an EZ 2 - 0 for Liquid.

I took Liquid -3.5 rounds in the 2nd Map @ 2.0 odds.

1W-1L for me today. Team Spirit won after double OT in map 3, pretty good match.
will edit this post with my picks later today, i'll probably go with CSGO picks only.

lucky Thursday picks:
CSGO
multi - Natus Vincere to WIN + BIG to WIN @1.92 X
Vit - FaZe O.25 @1.88 X
FURIA ML @1.63

I think G2 would win but the odds are slightly better on the over.
And they're in map 3. Nice pick!

now off to watch the best team in NA, Furia  Smiley
EDIT* Furia lost 0-2 vs. MIBR...2020 is officially a weird ass year lol
I missed the entire series but was able to watch the second half of the second map and they looked like a different team maybe the long pause had an effect on them.  Grin

The game was the most annoying one I've seen so far! So many technical pauses, players freezing in game and shit! Furia were 13-12 up in Map it was reversed to 12-12 after the break, up to if not more two hours of technical pauses. It went side ways from there feels like fixed f**k, You could see how nervous the Furia team looked after the several breaks, but It is what it is  Cheesy


Very busy day for me so not bet so far for me, I'll update my bets very soon Smiley

Feels nice to break the streak yesterday Complexity made the game very close in the end of the third but eventually they manage to close it. Today, i'm backing the over this time instead of the match winner on the G2 vs ENCE series. I think G2 would win but the odds are slightly better on the over.

I had to change my initial NaVi vs. NiP pick from OVER to NaVi winning after the map selection. I'm not blindly following percentages but all three maps NaVi had better recent results which made me switch my pick. Glad that complexity finished the job against OG...no surprises there.

✅ Na'Vi ML @ 1.67
Furia ML @ 1.43

✅ NiP ML @ 1.55
✅ Team Liquid ML @ 1.75

Nigma against OG in the last 2 months: 5 games, 5 losses... This is embarrasing :/

Oh man! Poor Nigma, I haven't checked tomorrow games yet.

Today has been literally perfect for me! It felt as if I knew what games to bet on and what lines to avoid  Smiley I just need Furia ML to make it 4/4 for me today and 6/6 in 2 days.

On the next series i'm confident with Complexity taking down OG I haven't watched OG on their last few matches but the recent form says it all.
COL took map 1, but OG are putting up a good fight in Mirage (COL pick)...although it looks like Complexity are about to make a comeback, they've won 6 rounds in a row and it's COL 10-11 OG at the time of writing.

OG took 2nd map, but COL looks untouchable on 3rd. Nice team effort lead by blameF & k0nfig. Should be an easy, stress free map bar some crazy comeback.
Liquid also looks very good so far against Alliance. This could be a very nice day for me finally unless I jinx it all with this post.

man, wth is going with G2? what a way to debut at #1 in the HLTV rankings lol  Grin

Speaking of rankings, look at the jump BiG took in the standings after their win, +16 spots, up to #8.
Their fans have been saying for a long time now that BiG is a top 10 team...well, look at them now  Roll Eyes

I agree with you on Nigma ML currently @ 2.04 (but I'll pass on this one  Wink)
Nigma against OG in the last 2 months: 5 games, 5 losses... This is embarrasing :/

Anyways, while i watch the Alliance - Team Liquid, i'm thinking of going with a small parlay tomorrow in Dota, something like: Fnatic -1.5 (game vs. Geek in the group stage finished 2-0) and Team Liquid -1.5 (Empire lost 0-2 today, could meed the same fate tomorrow?). Total odds @3.25 right now.

For Dota 2, what do you think about the SEA region for BTS Pro series? games are ending for this day but tomorrow is the last day which is with three games.
Or it's better to wait for the playoffs?
https://liquipedia.net/dota2/BTS/Pro_Series/2/Southeast_Asia
Those three remaining games looks crucial to a few teams like TNC and Boom esports with the odds close to even I think it's worth a shot with TNC as they've been sweeping teams in the last couple of days. I prefer waiting for the group stages to end but if you want to make a small bet for tomorrow TNC is probably the play but beware that most of my posted prediction in the last few days have lost.
BOOM esports has improved a lot honestly. They became one of the strongest SEA team and that happened for a very short span of time. The experiences that they had with those regional tournaments that they've joined helped them a lot. The group stages has been set and the teams that were eliminated are Execration and Cignal Ultra. 2nd and 3rd in standings will have the upper bracket. Neon esports versus Boom esports. Both underrated teams. Whilst, TNC versus T1 are on the lower bracket.

This one will screw you over. It is my pick as well and I am quite sure Complexity should win this easy. My other game on the ticket NiP 2:0 just passed so this one will be problematic given my recent record. So maybe we both break the curse this evening Smiley

I also have another multi with remaining DOTA games OG and Liquid match lines plus some football from German league.

I think I have a curse or something as most of my bets are always on the opposite side Grin anyways my bet for today's blast tournament matches are NaVi and Complexity. I know NaVi is struggling recently but after watching their last h2h i'm still convinced with NaVi winning 2-1 or another 2-0 if NiP couldn't take their map pick.

NaVi are so very much unpredictable, i'm not sure why are they given such a huge advantage to win here @1.56? NiP last 5 games have all been Over 2.5 maps, i might go for that.

I'm going with "History" over "Reality", So It's Na'Vi ML @ 1.67 for me, Then Furia ML @ 1.43, I'm gonna pass on Complexity vs OG, but If were to go for a punt, it's going to be on Over 2.5

Dota
Nigma ML @1.89
Alliance - Team Liquid O2.5 @1.91

Dota 2 games today are actually more tricky than I initially assumed, I can't make a clear cut decision on picking either side, and I also think the over 2.5 maps are actually a trap.

NiP ML @ 1.55 (I don't know if Team Empire are any good, but I can't rate them based on their win against Alliance)

Alliance are so shitty lately and Team Liquid ML @ 1.75 seem like a giveaway Grin

I agree with you on Nigma ML currently @ 2.04 (but I'll pass on this one  Wink)


ps; I also took a small 3-game (40.4 Odds) correct score parlay

Nigma 2 - 1 OG (Dota 2) @ 3.74
NiP 2 - Team Empire (Dota 2) @ 3.28
Na'Vi 2 - 1 NiP (CSGO) @ 3.3

Helps that Astralis have fallen from their peak.    Esports is big business now & I got an advert for 'esports investment fund', was just looking at an article explaining the team is fed of constantly touring the globe and not having a home life.   Sounds like they tour more then the Rolling Stones, its definetly paid for them but that also means they have got money to enjoy but no time to use it.   Quite ironic in this lockdown but not that surprising being the best team has put them into every Lan as the team to beat.  They are famed for their top training, more hours on days off which not every team does.   Heres link to article/video: https://www.dexerto.com/csgo/richard-lewis-sources-reveal-crisis-behind-astralis-burnout-1378864
  Until the next major and/or we have an actual 'normal' seasonal LAN event I think its all uncertain who will thrive.

I've already placed my bets for tomorrow:

CSGO
Furia -1.5 @2.35

Thats quite an upset in most bettors minds if that happens, literally Fallen from grace and his world champ status.   But yep ranks 14 higher for Furia, I'm just behind on my views and also an average 5 years younger for the team.  I know Hen1 but not the others really, saw a good clip for Vertigo from art where he just flanks and slices the enemy team in two though it was vs pistol it shows verve Cheesy

Tensed 2 Map but Team Vitality came through, should ez game ? Since it was a 2 - 0 win



Reporting late as usual but Vitality was also my pick to win, G2 just didn't have enough time to clear their heads after what happened on Sunday.

man, wth is going with G2? what a way to debut at #1 in the HLTV rankings lol  Grin

Speaking of rankings, look at the jump BiG took in the standings after their win, +16 spots, up to #8.


We have two games scheduled for Tuesday (BLAST Premier: Spring): NaVi vs. NiP  and complexity vs. OG

NaVi are so very much unpredictable, i'm not sure why are they given such a huge advantage to win here @1.56? NiP last 5 games have all been Over 2.5 maps, i might go for that.
OG have three straight losses coming into this matchup, i just don't trust them to do something more than stealing a map perhaps. complexity -1.5 seems tempting but i will probably take the ml instead.
