was wondering if what happened today with Gla1ve is a common thing in Esports world , does that happen a lot guys ? the timing of his announcement was a few hours before the game start which makes me wonder about these kind of situations since they can have a huge impact on the odds ... especially outrights betting
after watching the game today I don't really think Astralis is still the favorite to win the event

Well, looks like it'll be a 2/3 for me today. Team Liquid are struggling against I don't know know who they are 
Astralis -1.5 @1.67 ✓
OG vs Alliance - OG ML @1.60 ✓
Astralis -1.5 @1.67 ✓
OG vs Alliance - OG ML @1.60 ✓
They had 12-6 and 13-7 lead in the 3rd map but couldn't close out. It's not that i'm complaining, i had North +1.5 parlayed with Virtus.pro +1.5

Nice win! And earlier today everyone on social media kept saying how G2 could underperform and i thought "maybe they'll bounce back today with a 2-0...-1.5 @1.96 looks good"...good thing i gave in to peer pressure lol https://i.ibb.co/tPKVcMG/2fjvbs.jpg
The Heroic game was very close in theory, they knocked over Astralis and then they got back up and won it just like a world champion does even when missing their IGL.
Absolutely. I watched it and it was great a match. Heroic put up a good fight, but man, dev1ce was instrumental in map 2 with an amazing comeback. Hopefully, this win will give them a little boost after the gla1ve news.
The Heroic game was very close in theory, they knocked over Astralis and then they got back up and won it just like a world champion does even when missing their IGL. Was a crying shame, Heroic with coach Hunden would have made an awesome win and a giant upset but I always like the underdogs.
Thing to realise with the pro players is they rely on the income and Freak is not tier 1 team anymore so he has a problem with this current no LAN atmosphere as its trouble for the lower teams. No criticism is possible for people just trying to find their legs in a new game or any game that'll entertain them as players. As a spectator sport valorent could work but its so new its not well known and mostly these things need to develop, its a challenging beginning.

G2 seriously fucked up their chances for 1st place in group A, not that anyone considered them the favs over Astralis, but still...

Anyone watching Astralis vs Heroic...2nd map and Heroic are 9-2...wtf?? hoping for a comeback
Riot wants ppl to be able to play this game on pretty much any pc, like CSGO, but ffs, valorant's graphics turn me off so much...Can't say much about it from a competitive point of view...
}
EDIT*
Astralis with the comeback thanks to the god "dev1ce". Once he was in the zone, you knew it was over
And OG with the 2-0 vs Alliance, good start. A win for Team Liquid and it'll be a 3/3 for me (:
There are lot of players criticizing Valorant right now.
My only complaint about Valorant is that is looks like sh*t LOL Riot wants ppl to be able to play this game on pretty much any pc, like CSGO, but ffs, valorant's graphics turn me off so much...Can't say much about it from a competitive point of view...BTW @tomahawk9, great work with the thread. Looks very neat.
Glad you like it }EDIT*

Dreamhack Masters and ESL Birmingham start tomorrow, any early comments?
I'm not really following CSGO and I only watch CSGO matches if there is no interesting Dota 2 match. But I also want to have deep knowledge in CSGO, so I will try to watch as much as I can.Dreamhack Masters and ESL Birmingham start tomorrow, any early comments?
And for the ESL Birmingham SEA region, bettors should be more careful because there are so many inconsistent teams in the SEA region. Only Fnatic that has consistently performed well in the SEA tournament.
Quick suggestion, why don't you add Valorant? I know that this is a new game but I'm pretty sure they will provide huge tournaments in the coming months.
Kinda weird for the gameplay, there a lot of people talking velorant could beat csgo. But see the gameplay went you have some skills like wall, fire, and anything on first-person shooter game just weird and not making sense. More like an RPG game ~LOL.
The reason why velorant hyping right now, there a lot streamer and pro player one of the examples s1mple from navi who also playing velorant trying this game. But from my own perspective from the graphic, gameplay game and other think. This game just hyping and could be after that the player activity getting more worst than apex legend.
There are lot of players criticizing Valorant right now. There are lot of CSGO professional players like food, freakzoid and almost most of the Swole Patrol , Scream had already moved on to pursue a new career in Valorant now. They have created further hype now.
I feel like we will see a Valorant tournament very soon with the attention around Valorant now but there are lot of CSGO fans not liking it. Recently when freakzoid move to Valorant there were lot who criticized his decision. Its a game challenging CSGO atm now.
BTW @tomahawk9, great work with the thread. Looks very neat.
A bit late. My picks for today:
CSGO:
Astralis -1.5 @1.67 ✓
Liquid -1.5 @1.54 ✘
Dota:
OG vs Alliance - OG ML @1.60 ✓
So much pessimism surroundring G2 right now, so i decided to stay away from their match vs North...But G2 -1.5 @1.96 odds seemed pretty good =(
@batang_bitcoin After what happened in the BTS Pro SEA, I think i'm gonna back Fnatic.
Under 2.5 maps @1.55 versus Adroit looks like a no brainer. I wonder if Birmingham 2020 will be another walk in the park for Fnatic.

ESL One Birmingham 2020 - Online: Southeast Asia will start in only 3 days (May 21). This tournament is too popular to not be on your calendar .
Based on the previous ESL tournament (ESL Los Angeles 2020), SEA region will start first and EU/CIS region will be the last. Good luck for Boom Esports but it looks like Fnatic will own this tournament again.

Hey, tomahawk, just saw this thread and if it's Dota 2 history. They've got plenty of players that were banned for match-fixing. The latter was already added to the list.
https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Banned_players
I'll follow your calendar so that I can join discussions for csgo too.

@ryzaadit didn't know about that meme. thanks for sharing that little piece of Dota history (:
Did anyone watch the Astralis vs G2 match? So underwhelming, G2 got monumentally destroyed, it was hard to watch, tbh. And I had "Over 3.5 maps @1.96", ffs!
Quick suggestion, why don't you add Valorant? I know that this is a new game but I'm pretty sure they will provide huge tournaments in the coming months.
You mean to the Calendar section? I think adding more than 4 games could make the section look a bit crammed? Though I might come up with something later on. And yeah, the Valorant page on liquidpedia does have a buch of tournaments sheduled for this month.Did anyone watch the Astralis vs G2 match?

Even not more than 1 month ago, there was a suspicion of match-fixing in WePlay Tournament.
There should be more Dota 2 match-fixing cases than those already exposed. There are many players who get match-fixing offers, they said it in their interviews.
Even there is a Chinese player who said in an interview that he gets ostracized for refusing the offer but I still forget who is the name of the player who said that. Its Yamateh or Mushi if I'm not mistaken.

Semi pro match or lower tiers will always be of more question but the top tier players are making enough so its only greed if they go that way. The csgo case I remember involved players making no pay at all yet they were one of the higher teams, hence ban from valve related events and unable to get team interest after that. Csgo got alot more popular and they remained banned. More recently some criminal charges were laid in Australia I think for game throwing, the asia region for Csgo has less money available for players I guess but still its inexcusable.
Heres a link for that newer case - https://www.dailyesports.gg/five-men-finally-charged-with-match-fixing-in-csgo-in-australia/

@ryzaadit Is this the first time that there's been a major case of match fixing in Dota? What about Esports in general? I've been in this community for like 6 months or so and i haven't heard of any match fixing (could've missed it tho).
Some changes to the OP:
- Added Nitrogensports to 'Crypto Sportsbooks'
- Added new section 'Calendar' (just four games to keep it simple).

There are several match-fixing cases in the long history of Dota 2. And if I'm not mistaken, within CS:GO too and a lot of other competitive games out there. The only question is if whether they are caught or not. Those Esports "pros" are just barely making any money in the past years and that made them prone to being involved to match fixing to have some extra cash.
Really loving the Calendar section. Very neat and will probably provide important information (for me) when searching for any tournaments coming up.

@ryzaadit Is this the first time that there's been a major case of match fixing in Dota?
From our greater history called "322"Back to 2013 went we have some game RoX.KIS vs zRAGE at StarLadder Season VI went RoX.KIS making some weird gameplay at the end of game the score from RoX.KIS got 50 Death with only 27 mins gameplay. The organization making some investigation from this game, and they indicated making match-fixing, one of the player from RoX.KISS A.K.A "SOLO" making some bet against his enemy and got 322 USD as the payouts bets.
Because of that 322 meme on the Dota Community was born.
What about Esports in general?
I don't know about this, most of my e-sport knowledge more focused on "DOTA 2" since I play that's game.
