I wish they would win today to get to the playoff stage because I put their name on BSFL LOL  Roll Eyes
I was close to adding them to my BSFL prediction but dropped them after seeing their bad start in the groups and thought they wouldn't make it far in the tournament.

Now that they woke up, i'm starting to see them as the favorites to win it all.


I also have Team Spirit to win against Tundra in the other upper bracket series. Team Spirit still got their form from the Riyadh Masters and i'm not sure if Tundra's nerdy drafts are more than enough to take them out.

Group D matches in the ESL Pro League kicked off today. The first match was G2 vs Lynn Vision. G2 struggled a bit on their opponent's chosen map but managed to win the match 2-0. IGL hooxi was the star of the match and G2 started the group with a win.
The other match in the group is the VP-TL match and it is going on right now. The score is now 1-1 and the decider map is being played. Both teams won their chosen maps and now Liquid leads 6-2 in the last map.

The 2-0 felt like a trap because you can't count out the underdogs when the favorites could take the next game less seriously after they secure their spot in the playoffs.

Well yeah at some point, most of the game are likely to end with 1-1 for sure but I think Im still sticking with Tundra today. I bet on SR 2-0 as well because I think they need to win badly today to get that top bracket spot and Talon is obviously not on their top shape right now so a 2-0 for SR just seems likely for today. This is going to be pretty interesting to watch for sure



The group stage gave GG a lot of room to experiment and this should be their third time playing in the lower brackets this year, assuming they win their final series later today.

I finally got a winning bet but I still can't get a read on these teams.

For the final day of the group stage, i'm going with the teams that need to win at least one map and hope they give their all to win the first map. The 2-0 felt like a trap because you can't count out the underdogs when the favorites could take the next game less seriously after they secure their spot in the playoffs.



As expected, GG always seems to be losing on the first one or two days then somehow make it up on top before the group stage ended. Totally love that some teams are trying to play with different players so we can really expect some roster changes on TI for sure if that works out in their favour. CIS teams are pretty good on group stage for some reason but I doubt that any of them would win this tournament

In the grand final of the Thunderpick World Championship tournament, we see that very close scores were taken.Spirit-SAW fought in the final match.Spirit won the match 2-1, but the fact that the map scores were very close shows how hard both teams tried to win this match. The Spirit team is made up of young and talented players.We can say that they have become a strong team after including 3 players from the academy team to the main squad.SAW team is also the leading team in Portugal, but we can say that their squad is still inadequate.In this kind of tournaments, they see their own mistakes in a way.

So I took another bet because I feel like winning after getting my hit on Tundra. OG seems like a better team now and GG lost their 1st game so I thought that they might be able to get a draw against GG
That's a great hit on the draw and it looks like GG is on a bad start while the CIS teams are taking the lead in both groups.

0/3 on the first day after more than half of the games today went 2-0 and the draws came in late.  Tongue

I thought of switching it up and focusing on betting against the teams that struggled yesterday.

Did anyone watched Topson's debut game with Tundra against Talon? Although this series has ended in a draw, 1-1 standing.

Im sure this ended in 2-0 for Tundra
Yeah, that was a mistake and now fixed. And going on with their other match which was against Shopify Rebellion, it was the opposite and they've got a 0-2 series.

Just watch Tundra match against SR, Topson is playing during early to mid game but Abed ES is unstoppable that makes them struggle to catch up on late game since SR has Alchemist fully online already with ES rampaging all over the map. I thought Tundra already got the match but the SR triple BKB pays really well since Topson Kunkka and 33 Sand King is useless on the clash with all those BKB active in clash.

But overall, The match is very good to watch. Cool itemization is what makes SR get Game 1.
Their team work and synchronized movement made their win on this one. I guess that all of this time, I've been treating SR as a very overrated team but this time is different and how much more with the TI, right?

On the game 2, it's surprising to see some good decisions being done by rtz of rotating at the top during the early minutes since there were twin gates. He can easily go back and forth but as a position 1, that's unusual.

I made a  big mistake betting against spirit,

I totally forgot their win at riyadh masters and how untouchable they especially yatoro looked,

That continued today and they easily beat GG,

Their next series is vs BB team who can be very inconsistent and im taking a shot at spirit to win 2-0 at 3x odds  to recover losses on gg Sad
That's okay. Team Spirit is still a TI winner and they've got the biggest pot share for the entirety of the The Internationals. They're still a strong team after all.

Although on their match against GG, it's a favorite always to least say that it's gonna be GG should have won that match. I've watched that game 2 and that PA by yatoro always can be depended on.

I think that was the first or second time to see that the IO+Leshrac combo of GG has lost.

Im not sure if Im day dreaming or drunk as of now

Liquid to win 2-0 vs OG  @ 2.00

Im sure that Liquid and OG is on different group stage so they wont play against each other and Liquid lost both of their game today so Im not sure where you are getting this information from

So the rumor about Topson going to Tundra as replacement for Saksa absence is true.  Nine really adjust to pos 4 as giving way for Topson. This line-up of Tundra is very interesting since they are just keep losing games because of frequent absence of Saksa. Now that Nine adjust which is a very good midlane before, he knew pretty well how to support a midlane since that is his previous position.
Yup, it's not a rumor actually but it's a real thing about Topson going to play with them on TI but before that, they are participating this Dream League S21.

The Tundra social media pages made even a video of him joining them as a stand-in. But who knows what happens next this TI if saksa won't be back and needs to focus on his health.

Then the possibility of him being a permanent stay to Tundra is possible.

In the last matches of esl pro league group c, I expected apeks to win yesterday. They lost against 9z. Apeks has a better roster in my opinion but they couldn't give the expected result.
NaVi, on the other hand, beat Faze 2-0. I expected NaVi to win and we can say that they played a very good game. NaVi destroyed Faze on the Anubis map of their choice. Winning the map with a score of 16-4, NaVi was more comfortable on the map chosen by Faze. In the match where individual performances showed the effect of individual performances, we saw that b1t's performance won the match for his team.

I check the match on Liquipedia and it shows 2-0 in favor of Tundra if you are pertaining to the Dreamleague S21 tournament.
Yeah it was 2-0 but before it was bug as it shown 1-1.

But that mid play of his Earth Spirit got a triple kill and everyone's hype with that play. Of course with a help of sneyking as lion. But the entire micro skill of Topson shows that he's still the typical him that we've watched since his OG days.

Don't forget that a lot of games are still pending and waiting for this day to end and some are on going right now for the Dream League S21.

It's interesting to see BetBoom become the slight underdog heading into DreamLeague and i'm thinking of putting up a good parlay together with the other underdogs. But it's probably better when we're on the second or third day of the groups once we get to see the performance level of each team.

For now, i'll go back to the draw strategy since this is the usual script in the group stages during the last two seasons of drawleague plus the Riyadh Masters. Cheesy

Totally cant argue with this, its the best strategy ever on bo2 games especially on the 1st day of the tournament. You know what, now Im actually tempted to bet on every single games for today with draw. Except for the games that include GG in it because they should be able to win 2-0 today, I might rack up decent profit if everything actually goes out as planned

I didnt realize that MC is going to play with OG, this could be good

-snip
That had saved you time but it's not a 3-0 but a 3-1 ending. Still, we've got some idea on how the finals will go. I guess that GG is now full buffed and there's one more tournament that they need to play with before the TI.

I still personally think that its going to be GG to win the whole tournament again. Well they might flop abit on the group stage but eventually I think they are still going to be atleast top 2.
That's always been the speculation of many when GG is part of the tournament. It's only one tournament that they've got a quick exit and that's the Riyadh Masters.

I normally would skip most of the BO2 group stage because things always goes south on this type of match but the main highlight would be Tundra though. Topson is playing and Nine is on 4th position which means that things would be way different then they normally is so Im betting on Tundra to win against Talon tomorrow, odds are pretty high obviously because this screams draw for sure
I am waiting for that match of Tundra for TI but thanks to DreamLeague because we get to see how this roster has already adjusted. It may not result good at the first matches I guess.

But for sure with many scrimmages that they've made, they've made their chemistry and every adjust that they needed to have. And it's a good practice prior to their main goal, the TI.
