BiG Over 2.5 maps
Big over 2.5 and BIG +1,5
So the consensus is G2 vs. BiG  O 2.5?

Very well done boys, we got it!
I was worried the Over might be in danger since G2 won the first map which was BiG's pick, but then BiG came strong to win on G2's map, a weird exchange i have to admit.

But yeah, BiG fans are getting cocky rn, time for a reality check =P

G2 is the first finalist and imo a favorite to win the tournament now, they will automatically get one map advantage in the final which is BO5.
BiG also with a chance to make the final, that's gonna be a nice little rematch if they can make it out of the lower bracket.


My early pick for tomorrow is MAD Lions +1.5 @1.40 (maybe a live bet on MAD to win on Mirage or Nuke if one of those two maps gets picked).

Lucky I split my bet on the nip vs vitality game.   I didnt win but covering the 3 maps at nicer odds means it gave back my bet lost on a vitality win.   I thought it'd be a bit closer for some reason, but perhaps that means I should have just gone with the underdog in that case as Nip are always capable imo.

Zywoo played so good but all went in vain while Nip are so good as a team.

Teamwork should always win in csgo if its being played out right, its been the bane of many a great set of players that were not as much of a team as the other side with more experience and time played together.  I think its the secret behind lions success really.

And you might be right, Nigma could win a game, but Team Secret have been SO good lately, i couldn't ignore those odds.
Here we go! Wtf was that from Team Secret in the 2nd map, LOL... I saw this coming, damn!  Angry

Veryy nice, thanks Nigmaa  Smiley Smiley.

Nigma had a very good draft against Team Secret in the second game. That Viper counter that spectre so hard and then there is no answer for that luna late-game anymore.

Plus OG took 1 map against Alliance with a comeback. What a good day  Grin Grin

ZyGOD  Tongue gonna see if I can find the clip of that

You will find Zywoo's ace under highlights section in here: https://www.hltv.org/matches/2341574/vitality-vs-nip-dreamhack-masters-spring-2020-europe. Click that play and you can see the Zywoo godlike play.

I backed up Nip when they were 5-6 down against VItality in Map 3 in my multi and now just waiting for Slazburg to win. Easy double  Cheesy  Cool

GG, bro

BTW did anybody saw Zywoo ace vs 5 and all headshots in pistol round -USPS.  Roll Eyes Man that guy is something. I wonder where Vitality would be without him.

Vitality vs Nip about to end with Nip winning. Zywoo played so good but all went in vain while Nip are so good as a team. Plopski made some very good plays but if I were to choose a player who was the best throughout the match, I would say it was Zywoo.

Extra Tip: It might a worth lot, to back the each team to win their chosen map in the upcoming fixtures as well. When/where does the map picking information becomes available ?

You can see it on live betting odds. Odds are always a bit more skewed to the side whose pick it is. Otherwise you can check it on HLTV page as soon as the information is available. At the start of every match the teams go trough bans and picks.

Good one with Over 2.5 for Vitality vs NiP,! NiP were terrific in the first map and Vitality are repaying the favor in the 2nd map, currently 11-2, 11 consecutive rounds win for Vitality.

Nice win on mad lions if you did end up picking them for the match win.

I did, thanks!

Mad Lion have taken the 1st map (7-16), it was their chosen map btw. So, map 2 should be fnatic's.
Ridiculous match. Each team absolutely dominated their map picks, but as expected, 3rd map looks like it's going to be a good match (9-10 right now).
F*ck right off, Fnatic!!

Wow haha, Fnatic won only one round of the last 13, they were up 9-4 on Mirage i though all was lost...GG MAD Lions, well played!!!
Slightly disappointed i didn't follow Harkorede's tip on Fnatic winning map 2 (train)...i was late to see their stats 7-2 in their last 9 and they did dominate that one from the start.

So the consensus is v G2 vs. BiG  O 2.5?

Mad Lions really pulled trough nicely. I had them as ML and I had them to win at least one map for very big stake. I needed that win after loosing first multi on stupid Viking.gg, I picked that just to fill the space even though the odds were miserable. I need that slap in the face from time to time to make me remember why I try to never pick small odds on my tickets.

Most probably i will go with a single bet for today, MAD Lions ml...if that doesn't hit i'll have to check the rest of the games that we have and work something out.


I've heard some ppl say that BiG are playing like a top 5 team. I haven't watched them yet so idk if this a true or not so, i'm just gonna skip this match, i was thinking G2 ML, they dominated that match vs. Natus Vinclowns yesterday.

G2 needs to bring BiG down to earth, overrated team imo.

I didn't know the upper bracket has that much of an advantage over the lower one, even if you lose you can still make the grand final. NaVi and FaZe are still in the mix.

Nice win on mad lions if you did end up picking them for the match win.
It seems like the underdogs all won yesterday and it is running into today.
But I do think G2 can get BIG down from their high horse on yesterdays upset.

It's gotta be because of online csgo, some teams are shit at it, some others are good at it. But yeah, BiG fans are getting cocky rn, time for a reality check =P

Mad lions seems an ambitious underdog bet <...>
They've been pretty good lately. Too bad I didn't consider +1.5 for MAD, especially when Fnatic usually like to give away a map to the opponents.

Thorin isnt betting on matches very likely, he just has a silly size ego considering he'd never likely make it as even a coach.

Mad lions seems an ambitious underdog bet and the odds dont tend to swing to a large extent that I used to get in the old csgo games but sure enough they have won 1 map and everyone knew they'd do that but me perhaps.    I'd still expect Fnatic to have the closing power to take the win on the series but I need to watch the underdogs more as its too dangerous not to know who can upset favourites.   Fnatic are not what they once were, I'll watch the game but I think bets on 3 maps are a bit safer in many cases.

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.

Yeah, that is what I am thinking. I don't know if Thorin put his money for Astralis and he is so mad that they lost. Right now, Astralis is in the mud with two of their teammates at rest. They are having a hard time and all we could do right now is hope Glaive and Xyp9x went back well taking back their seat above tier 1 teams in the tournaments.

TBH, I didn't know we've got some dota 2 matches for today, just checked 'em out, I'm not really not convince about Team Secret's -1.5 line, I know they're arguably the best dota 2 team right now, but I feel Nigma are not too of a team bad to steal a map off them today. However, I'm ridin' with you all, brothers!

^ i have chosen similar lines today.

High stake ticket, just some simple ML:
Vitality ML - Vitality is in better form and they won against NiP recently
Aliance ML - hopefully OG will continue with their recent form
Secret ML - hopefully Secret will be max serious
Viking.gg ML - in retrospect, I should have maybe skipped this one, we shall see Smiley

Low stake ticket:
Aliance -1.5
Secret -1.5
Vitality ML
Mad Lions ML
Big over 2.5 and BIG +1,5

I also have few singles and doubles, but it basically all comes to above mentioned selections, riskier bets smaller stake and vice versa, plus 2 football games.

Vitality ML

fnatic Over 2.5 maps

BiG Over 2.5 maps

Forgot to mention above that the 'Calendar' in the OP has been updated.


Anyone looking forward to some League of Legends action? LEC Summer is just around the corner and i'm ready to back G2  Cool
I'm more interested in the LCS Split even though Cloud 9 is probably going to dominate again. I want to see how would Team Liquid perform now that Doublelift is out for good and if TSM's roster would mesh well with him.  Cheesy

There's also COD League in the weekend just started following recently and i'm liking the pace of the matches.

I haven't decided on who to take later for Dreamhack Master but I slightly like Mad Lions against Fnatic after they took down Team Spirit then again Fnatic can sometimes be a scary team and hit shots out of the blue.
