It's too early to assume things and I think it is going to be another wild ride for them for these upcoming tournaments.
I don't know but I feel like it's going to be good for them but then again, more updates will come in the next year and those might make them create new strategies or maybe even worse, they might be eliminated as they've been eliminated in 2022 and like how Tundra was eliminated early in the 2023 tournament. Hopefully as solid and no changes is foreseeable for Team Spirit, I hope that they're going to make another appearance in the International 2024 and hopefully snag the Aegis again but then as you've said, there's a lot of things that can happen.
I would also like to see Team Spirit at International 2024, but I wouldn’t want them to win, especially if it’s 3-0. Of course, raising the Aegis above team for the 3rd time would be legendary and it’s hard to believe that it will ever be done. But I like it when there is a constant struggle and there is no clear favorite, when the games take place in a fierce struggle, as was the case with OG - LGD and TS - LGD.

I can say the same example about CS: Team Vitality interrupted FaZe Clan’s win streak of 18 wins in a row. karrigan is of course a legend and I don’t want to say anything bad, but this is too much. I wonder what kind of odds they gave for this match.

Is anyone of you have an idea on how the new team from Japan, Reject May plays? I have seen them in some posts and I have no idea about this team for Dota 2 that is based in Japan.

It is the first time hearing this team name from the Japan. And the players that they have, the roster itself are unknown names and never heard of them.

Anyone who is familiar with them?


I also heard about this team a few days ago. They're all new to me as well. But Japan is pretty sure a country with a lot of gamers including DOTA 2. In the past, I remember some Japanese teams participated in lesser events. Maybe their teams are not just good enough to make it into Division 1. I heard Sony is one of its main sponsors so it should be good financially. But they have to prove it and make it into the bigger competitions otherwise Reject will just withdraw from the DOTA 2 scene just like the other big e-sports teams in the past who failed to win significant matches.

Lots of CS2 finals today with winners like Imperial SB , Monte and the most important one Vitality who managed to defeat the "gods" Faze clan that dominated the entire year of both CS:GO but also the new CS2 but today Vitality played way better and a quick 2-0 from them with a fashionable and dominating victory that kinda puts them Nr1 global team in Counter-Strike.

There are also rumors that Faze will lose a couple of players and Twitszz most likely will be one of them and this is normal because Faze achieved everything that you can achieve at the highest level of pro cs.  Cool

Eternal Fire seems to have adapted to CS2, though not fully. With the performances in the recent tournaments, we can say that the team is getting used to the new game or will be fully acclimatized in the near future. The fact that Xantares' performance hasn't changed is important for the team's performance, and the fact that Wicadia, the young star of the team, is improving day by day is another positive factor for the team. At the moment they are fighting well as a team, but the fact that woxic is far from his old performance makes the team awp diff.

This weekend we can watch the Blast Premier Fall 2023 tournaments semi and grand finals. NaVi is already out after losing 2-1 against complexity, I thought they would go deeper in the tournament. In the two semi finals today Vitality is going to play against Cloud9. Vitality has been really strong this year, but so far I haven't seen them play many CS2 matches and I think they have some strong strategies ready for the games. Cloud9 has played more matches in CS2 as they have been part of already quite a few tournaments, but player wise I think Vitality is much stronger. I am going with Vitality to reach the finals tomorrow. In the second match will be FaZe vs Complexity, with FaZe being the clear favourite here. The two teams played in Sydney against each other and FaZe won 2-1. For me they are the strongest CS2 team right now and I am putting my money on them to reach the finals as well. Tomorrow we will likely see Vitality vs FaZ in the grand final, where FaZe is going to win in my opinion.

Speaking about going back in dota scene then there's no way that we could be able to concluded or tell that they wouldnt really be going back.
Just like Ceb?. Even there are rumors that "Ame" would be going back too. So there's always a possibility of comeback not only just on the game. hehe
I've read that rumors that Ame is about to comeback and I think this is going to be a common thing now in the dota 2 community. Whenever someone says about their retirement, expect that it's just like a temporary rest for them and they're going to comeback for sure. Because they'll miss a lot of actions, tournaments and of course the prizes from it.

This is their lives and livelihood and any opportunity that has come to them will be missed. They've got contracts, sponsorships, etc. and more and their talents are being appreciated and that's why they're likely to come back. And as you've mentioned Ceb, he has said it twice I guess and look, he's still going to play with OG and I think that's fine.

He's doing the right transition that the oldies should go into a position 5 where they can just command and think of the plays focusing about the strategies in game while the core players, positions 1,2 and 3 will just have to focus on their goals and roles for the teams every match. Who are still those players that have said their retirement? I've seen many of them that have transitioned into casting and streaming. But the most recent one, I think it's just Ame and faith_bian.

Solo is officialy back with 9Pandas. The 322 god himself simply won't quit haha and last time he said that he will be a coach and no longer wants to play but look how that turned out in the end.. . For those who don't know Solo is the infamous guy who bet against his team to lose with a stake of 322$ and the game got inspected by Valve back then but short story that's why we see twitch chat spamming "322" during a fight Grin Grin
I've known Solo and he was with ramzes for a long time. So for 9Pandas, any known reasons why Miero is out of the roster? He's a good offlaner but why he's out?

Also, there's a rumor that has been posted in weiboo in Chinese that faith_bian is likely to come back and get out of retirement.

I haven't seen any faith_bian hater and that's why this rumor has blown out the chinese community which was posted by his wife.

Yes, this is where "322" do start because of that incident on which even up to now whenever we do see tournaments neither majors or even TI and the actions made out
or by the team looks like throwing then this is the word that would really be spammed out on the chatbox.  Cheesy

Team Secret can always surprise, even if few people believe in him, I have been convinced of this more than once.
I am one of the people that didn't believed on them but that's good as they're going to be serious with most lan tournaments these days as they've missed the last TI.

Congratulations to everyone on the release of patch 7.34e. In a small update, they nerfed some heroes that had high win rates - Bristleback, Chaos Knight and Spirit Breaker. Finally, I'm tired of seeing them every time.
It's always like this. Valve always nerfs what they need to nerf. Going with some tournaments now as with Pinnacle 25 years anniversary. There's a 10-day matches for all the group stages. That's a long one and 8 teams are going to be eliminated as they proceed to the playoffs. The prize pool isn't a lot but this is a good alternative to watch in the EU region and see some potential players. So the child prodigy named, satanic is playing for the yellow submarine. Let us see on how they're going to end on this tournament.

Time to revamp this thread because we got Blast Premier Fall Final. Nothing much to bet on dota2 so switching up to cs2 for a while as usual



Im literally throwing my money away when I picked this but oh well I'll get them back on the playoffs. I took this when it was 11-12 for Vitality so I thought they would be able to win 2 straight map but oh damn well this sucks  Roll Eyes Anyway, by the time I posted this the Complexity already won the 2nd map so yeah I lost this

I was out of the loop in CS2 pro scene for a few weeks now, but have they fixed the crazy glitches and the hitboxes not registering properly in certain agent models? It still happens in my games and I don't think it's a good betting experience if your team gets demolished in a round because of those glitches. Also, I watched the highlights of this game you linked and it was pretty close. Vitality won the series after getting enough steam to take off on the 2nd half of the third map. Good executes from their T side even with the array of flashes that Complexity throws to deter the site taking.

The second map is just too close. That bet could have won if Vitality had the patience to hold sites and not try to cover as much ground as possible.

I got it wrong again. Yes, for MENA - 1, for Western Europe - 2, for Eastern Europe - 2
MENA has already Team Falcons as the qualified team. That means that PSG Quest is taken down by them. But in the upper bracket, PSG Quest managed to beat Team Falcons before they face in the grand finals. Anyway, in a few hours we'll see the completion of the qualifiers as SA and NA are the remaining regions to complete the set of participants.
All participants of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 have been determined. I am glad to see that 9P from Eastern Europe have qualified by defeating the VP. Something happened to the VP, probably dismorality or something else, they first lost in the winners, and then in the losers bracket and in the end did not get a slot. I'm glad to see Razmses with his team.
Actually, 9Pandas is no doubt stronger than VP but the performance they have not just on this qualifier but also during the TI was impressive. I have just noticed that ramzes turned into an offlaner on this qualifier without miero. I don't know if he's on a break temporarily or he's been kicked and Vtune has replaced his as their position 1 for this ESL qualifier.

In Western Europe, Team Secret received one of the slots. Puppey continues to show a high level and that his age does not hinder him in this. Is he going to play until he is 50?))

In any case, there is less than a month left until ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, which will be held in Malaysia.
Many of us have belittled the roster of Team Secret but this could be their redeemed roster as they will also go to Malaysia. So, that makes all sense that all of them are going to Malaysia but hopefully no one gets denied as Malaysia isn't strict with VISA, etcs and most of them won't be required to have one, right?

We won't notice how quickly time flies)
Yeah, you say so and we'll get to see it as there are still some other tournaments that we can watch while waiting for the actual ESL to come.
You had to bet on 9P with a large odds, because most bookmakers believed that VP was the favorite in the last game.
But what else I noticed was that the two well-known bookmakers had different odds, if I understood everything correctly. I wonder if it was possible to bet on the victory of 2 different teams with odds above 2 or am I missing something)

9 pandas and Eternal fire will face tomorrow in the final of the Pari Please tournament. We saw the difference in how good Eternal Fire is in Lan tournaments. They are very effective as they do not have ping problems. Teams like Furia and MIBR could not advance to the finals. Especially the extra frags made by Xantares attracted attention. He is not called LANTARES for nothing, rest assured, there are not many players who can aim for him under equal ping conditions. I trust EF in the final, I'm thinking of a bet, to be honest, the odds are around 1.70, it doesn't look bad at all.

I am hoping for that. As it seems to look that the most desired tournament now is going to be Riyadh Masters than the The International. It's possible that the growth in MENA is going to be quick.

There will be a huge growth for that region and some teams have started moving to that region. Team Falcons for example play on the MENA Qualifier for the ESL One currently despite only ATF that comes from that region. As for the tournaments though, if you compare it with football then its pretty much the same as local league and world cup

Players obviously earn more from their own respective league but to win a world cup is another accomplishment that all players want
Yeah and as they qualify, they're building this region as one of the best for sure. Whilst this region is going to be one of the interesting ones these days, thanks to the government that's fully supporting their moves.

Speaking of them, 1-1 now with Klim Sani4 against 9Pandas.
And they finally lost after another grueling series. So it'll be the mainstream teams once again in Eastern Europe. VP against 9 Pandas for the second slot.
Yeah, they lost to 9Pandas and what's good is that 9Pandas also beat Virtus.Pro and they have taken the 2nd slot for the EEU region. That's a good beating for them when the one that they've fallen apart was the one to qualify for the ESL KL.

The team in SA that qualifiers to ESL is kind of weird team name but I'm familiar with two players there, Darkmago and Pandaboo.

AFAIK, Saudi Arabia is going to invest billions and they are going to pour money into esports and they want to be the esports hub and centre of the world.

As for Valve, still haven't yet announced the changes and we will know that next year after the ESL. Maybe we will just get more ESL.

Going back to Riyadh masters, I think that they have concluded this year that they can do better and they might attract more investors and sponsorships to 2024 Riyadh's.

Well they might or they might not and that would depends on sponsorship as well as if there are some organizations that are willing to move into MENA. I think the way Valve scraped the dpc probably was to let them host another system that will include MENA region into it so yeah we'll see on this one. I kinda believe that Riyadh Master will still be a top tournament with highest prizepool but to stick at $15M or even higher will cost them alot of money

So I took a risky bet for the Worlds Final, not expecting to hit it either way I just need T1 to win



Why am I not surprised to win this one  Roll Eyes. Also T1 outright bet @15x odds boys !

Saudi Arabia really doing their best becoming the hub for all the best things in life and I am happy for it, I hope that when this happens that traveling and going in a vacation should not get expensive, I really want to see Saudi Arabia even if they are a really strict country to travel to. What is happening to Valve? What announcement are you talking about? I am not up to date with all the stuff that they are currently doing so I am stumped right now, did not even get to watch The International right from the start which sucks.
