We have a few days of DOTA rest before the Riyadh Master starts 5 days from now. While SEA is probably in its weakest season, another player is joining another team outside the region. Entity has a new offlane in this tournament, Gabbi.

And this makes Ceb play for the current OG squad as their pos 4. This is like version 2 of The International and for sure teams are going to go all in on this one.

That's cool. Every team that feels like they are still capable of winning has to change and do some experiments because last year, final qualifiers Team Secret and Liquid went on to play very well unexpectedly and finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Meanwhile, Quest Esports who's also on a good run lately and is clearly a black horse if it is able to qualify for TI thru the last qualifier seems to have some internal issues. A week ago, they parted ways with their coach Accell. And then ATF whose loan contract had just expired decided to leave citing Quests' offer as unacceptable. This is weird, Saudi is pouring millions to billions of dollars into events, sports, and esports so I guess ATF's concern is not about the money. So I guess Quest won't be the same again in the coming Riyadh Masters and TI Last Qualifier.

Yeah they were not that dominant at all, well not really what I was hoping for but the 2nd map was really good though for NaVi. 3rd map was abit balanced between those two teams. I should have known that it will be either way over 2.5 maps to whichever teams that ended up winning, the odds was so much better than picking NaVi to win

Closer than I would've liked but a win is a win regardless. Today we'll see how the new roster performs against a tier 1 team. Navi is the underdog against Heroic, but I'm hoping they can at least stretch the game to a full three maps. I would be very happy if they win though Cheesy

Betting on them.

Vitality destroyed Complexity.I think Vitality, who won very comfortably against their opponent, did not expect such an easy match.The first map was Inferno, which Complexity chose, and here Vitality managed to defeat their opponent 16-1.It would be a surprise to expect Complexity to win the match from Complexity, who performed so poorly on their own chosen map.As a team, Vitality played well while Complexity played poorly.

Same thoughts here, Betboom is the only team that gives GG a solid fight and actually show dominance agains them. I think Betboom can have a shot on the Finals if only Pure stay in the roster and they continue their upper bracket journey that time since they are so good before they got dq on their Tundra match.

Worry not anymore, BetBoom despite the controversy of their one player (Pure) on the Bali major. They'll going to face again GG and other teams on Riyadh and as well as in TI.

Pure is likely to stay in the roster and this issue had gone cooldown already. With the news coming out of securing their US Visa, they're going to go in the US for the TI in Seattle.

I hope that other teams won't have any difficulty getting US Visa since it's always have been the case for most teams.

The closest match of the weekend is probalby going to be NaVi vs Heroic, two of the strongest teams and eventhough Heroic is a clear favourite I would never call it an easy game against NaVi.

Its not even that close though if you actually compared them based on the odds given by the provider. Heroic is a very clear favourites according to the odds, probably because NaVi is not really that promising on their first game but I personally think that this could be an easy over 2.5 maps even if NaVi ended up losing against Heroic

In the first match played today, we watched Liquid vs G2. We can easily say that Liquid performed better as a team. Liquid's new transfers seem to have adapted to the team quickly. I didn't expect Patsi and rainwaker to perform so well in the first match. I can say that they both managed to surprise me. On G2, we can say that hunter had a really bad performance. Since hooxi is an IGL, not much frag contribution is expected from him, but when one player plays worse with hooxi, it puts more burden on the other players.

Today and tomorrow we are having the upper bracket finals of the Blast Premier Fall tournament, with the group finals happening next week. The top teams playing this weekend are not at risk yet of getting eliminated, but it's still going to be some interesting games. The first match today is going to be G2 vs Team Liquid, which is going to be an easy win for G2. They have a strong team this year and should go far in the tournament. In the second match there will be Complexity playing against Vitality, which is probably the most one sided game of the weekend, Vitality is going to win that without trouble. The last match of the day with Evil Geniuses against NiP, where my money is on NiP to take that home. The closest match of the weekend is probalby going to be NaVi vs Heroic, two of the strongest teams and eventhough Heroic is a clear favourite I would never call it an easy game against NaVi. They dominated CSGO for such a long time that they could make a comeback.

There is only one match left between AURA vs RRQ for me to get a multi-win from both matches today.
Hopefully this will be the start of a good bet for me so that in the future I can be even more enthusiastic about predicting and giving up some money to bet on MPL Indonesia.
Let's see if my prediction or your which prediction can be successful in getting a win.

Congratulations friend, won your bet.
Did you watch the match live? Just look at how terrible RRQ beat AURA Fire with 2-0 points without giving any chance.
Seeing the performance of RRQ players in the first minute always puts pressure on AURA players who attack mentally and causes frustration to last longer.
The next match will be even more tense and you have to be a little careful placing your bet because sometimes your opponent can come back.

Yes, I got a pretty satisfying win yesterday.
For the match between BTR vs GEEK, I didn't see it, but for RRQ vs AURA, I saw it from the initial maps to the end of the match.
It was a really good game presented by RRQ that made AURA unable to avenge the defeat of the first maps.

For today there is a match between RRQ vs ONIC which I will later.
These two teams actually had a good game but I have a prediction that ONIC will be able to beat RRQ later.

Blast premier fall groups tournament has finally started. Looking at the first 2 games in group A, Vitality destroyed the new EG squad. The only good player in the EG team was junior awper. FlameZ, magisk and zywoo playing was enough for Vitality to win the match.
In the NiP-Complexity match, the EligE transfer seems to have shown its effect in Complexity. EligE won the match with a clear superiority difference against NiP.When we look at the rosters, I think NiP's roster is better in terms of talent, but they can't do some things well enough and this reflects badly on them.

Glad the player break is finally over. Astralis is leading in the first half of the map, and Navi is not showing the dominance that we're all hoping for. I rooting for Navi and hope they can bounce back in the second half or in the next map. Otherwise, it won't be a good start for the new international roster.

Yeah they were not that dominant at all, well not really what I was hoping for but the 2nd map was really good though for NaVi. 3rd map was abit balanced between those two teams.

G2 vs Liquid tomorrow though, I might take over 2.5 maps on this

NaVi made a really nice start to BLAST Premier by beating Astralis 2-1 in the opening round of Group B. Astralis did a good work by winning the first map which they picked. But NaVi stayed cool and made a great comeback to win - 16-6 on Nuke, 16-12 on Overpass. jL and iM were both shining today with nice fragging skills.

Their next opponent is Heroic on Sunday. Heroic are currently at the top in HLTV rankings. This is a really early big exam for NaVi with their new roster. However they played a show match against Vitality a week ago with this roster and they seemed strong against Vitality. Hence I will be expecting see the same competitive team against Heroic to fight for winning the series.

Given that MPL matches are a little less difficult to predict than Dota 2 and LOL, it appears that not many people are interested in betting there.
But in reality, I also participated in this game; I merely waited a few games to attempt to get predictions about which club would prevail.
Upcoming matchups that I haven't entirely predicted but have tried to forecast are BTR vs GEEK (BTR victory), and AURA vs RRQ (AURA win). If my assumption is accurate, I'll try to forecast and wager on the following game.

It’s dumb for them to secure Visa if they still don’t have secure spot on the TI.

You can read full details here: https://afkgaming.com/dota2/news/betboom-full-team-visa-secured-for-the-international-12-in-seattle

Pretty sure with all that incident in Bali Major that they will still secure the direct invite but what really surprised me was that Pure wasnt given any punishment at all. I thought Valve would have banned him because of that and Betboom would need to search for another player to fill in that position.

I think valve considering the fans of Betboom and for a better competition in the TI that’s why they let this incident slide even though Pure is always doing this. Honestly, I’m expecting too a tough punishment since he will just keep doing this since he get profit on his channel for streaming aside from his career salary.

Quote from: arallmuus on July 13, 2023, 02:06:03 PM

but if they actually keep this roster, they could get a decent chance to win against GG for sure

Okay, so BetBoom is able to secure proper documents early and passed in the visa qualifiers. Are they just applying for visas in advance or they were already informed by Valve that they are part of the TI? But I am optimistic that BetBoom is indeed heading into TI with its complete roster. It's going to be very interesting.

It is most likely that they've been informed by Valve that there's no reduction in points. They won't spend time and effort applying for a US visa for nothing. That optimism of yours is going to the actuality of it because they're going to TI with complete roster unless someone becomes sick and needs to have a stand-in if ever Valve allows that during the actual date of the TI.

The MPL Indonesia tournament started today and I saw two matches that took place. It's surprising that it's been almost two years since I watched or followed MPL developments, but for this season I'm again interested in betting on one of the MPL Indonesia Esports tournaments. For tomorrow's match there are two BTR vs GEEK and AURA vs RRQ matches. This is a great opportunity to place bets as it is an esports tournament whose outcome is easy to predict.

for a first match like this, it's a bit easy to predict. I've tried betting on the Over map 2.5 twice with decent odds and won. you need to pay attention that ONIC is very disadvantaged in this MPL match because several reliable players who have been bought from other teams are perfect. I usually bet all in for ONIC.

Would be nice if Moonton expanded their tournaments elsewhere and have a global tournament once a year.

maybe you missed something that Moonton has world championships like M1, M2, M3 and so on. usually this M series will be held once a year and can be said to be an international championship.

The first opponent is Astralis. If we don't see communication issues NaVi can make a really good start to the tournament. I'm especially curious about iM and jL's performances.

There is no reason not to because NaVi is still a top tier team with s1mple around

I simply took the bet on them to win against Astralis in their first match. Well I could have take Astralis to win a single map for sure and that would be easier to win but whats the actual point on betting on odds that low though

Glad the player break is finally over. Astralis is leading in the first half of the map, and Navi is not showing the dominance that we're all hoping for. I rooting for Navi and hope they can bounce back in the second half or in the next map. Otherwise, it won't be a good start for the new international roster.

BetBoom is now secured with US visa so that means they're going to the The International. The issue of Pure in Bali, Indonesia, stays in Indonesia.

I think they're all clean and good now and that's why they've secured a VISA for the TI. Valve likely have decided that there's no deduction in points and they've been punished already in the Bali major.

That's at least what I know but haven't found an article that explains that there's no longer a punishment. And I am expecting even after the Riyadh Masters, there will be no more statement needed from Valve.

It's a fairly region-locked game that's why there's not a lot of bookies interested in listing it on their events. Most of the action is happening in SEA hence, there's only a few teams to look out for. I was also interested on betting at the tournaments at first but after seeing the odds heavily skewed on some teams that are really performing for a long time, I decided not to and just focus on Dota 2 and CS:GO instead.

Would be nice if Moonton expanded their tournaments elsewhere and have a global tournament once a year.

I think there are a lot of bettors already in Mobile Legends, especially in the eastern part of Asia. Most of my DOTA 2 friends are into this game as they shifted during the pandemic as this is easier, more accessible and the game is much faster to finish. ML continues to grow although I am not sure how many hardcore players admire a mobile game.

I watched many games during the M4 and it was the first time. All I know is that Indonesia is one of the powerhouses in this game. There were a lot of fans and the atmosphere looked great. A few days ago I saw a lot of comments saying M4 in Indonesia was more lively than this year's DOTA 2 Bali Major.
