They don't have a big chance but the best teams right now came from the bottom and being unknown too.

We have a lot of new faces that qualified (Boom, Shopify, beastcoast, Gaozu) so it's a brawl between the top 5 down to the last place.

Also, I think this is the best opportunity for the underdogs to pull off upsets, the overall skill level isn't as stacked when you compare these teams to the ones participating in the Blast tournament.

I agree. Those teams that you've mentioned, they've got some new face but for sure that they have what it takes to upset some known teams. Since the schedules are there already, they can study their opponents on how they draft and the team play that they have. I am excited for it to come, just less than 2 weeks and we're in.

Good luck to NaVi.

Sometimes its not about winning but its kinda like exposure for NaVi. They are a top organization and obviously they are missing out when they dont have a team on dota2 esport scene so its kinda understandable from the exposure PoV

Yeah, it feels incomplete when they don't participate in known LAN dota 2 events. They've been there for so long with our old guy Dendi but it had changed so, it's nice to see them back.

Across from all 16-20 teams that usually make it to top tournament, only about 5 of them actually were making money from tournaments. Most of the other teams dont actually make money as their expenses on wages are alot

While that's true and that's why the most successful ones are also getting the better offers from sponsors. So, it's not only about the prize money but also advertising money from their sponsoring brands.

Anyway, I had my money today on Team Liquid. Parivision always ended up surprising me. I had them on the last EPT Tournament to get into final but they lost so yeah I dont even consider the possibility that they were going to win against Team Liquid tonight

They don't have a big chance but the best teams right now came from the bottom and being unknown too.

Astralis' first ban was Anubis, I wonder what the difference would have been if it had been Anubis instead of Dust2.

Anubis isn't on their map pool so it'll be an instant win for Eternal Fire if they somehow let that through after the first ban.

Even if they win against Astralis, the odds are stacked against them. They still need to pull off two series wins in a row because if they move to the 2-2 bracket, they face 9pandas next. After that, they'll go to the 7th place tiebreakers due to the Buchholz system and clash with Team Spirit.

That's it for Eternal Fire, Major. With the defeats of 3Dmax, Sashi and finally Astralis, Eternal Fire said goodbye to the Major.
I would normally expect them to beat the teams they lost to, but they were not focused enough to beat them.
For example, Astralis won the first map they played, Vertigo, the map they chose, then they lost on dust2 and the decider map.

This is pretty much like qualifiers isnt it? The real deal starts on 30th so I guess Imma wait till the real deal. I totally got no clue with cs2 pro scene right now so I guess Im just going to follow your bet if you post them up lol Cheesy

Yes, it's the equivalent of a qualifier while being played on LAN. I'm avoiding the last day tomorrow because there are too many upsets between these teams, unlike the first group where it was a predictable 2-0 for most of the favorites.

It's better to hold on to our bankrolls for now and wait for the Blast Slam tournament that'll kick off in a few days from now. I'm looking forward to that tournament since their format seems refreshing, bo1 matches in the group stage and then the gauntlet format in the playoffs.

To be honest, it's hard to read on Team Liquid. Sometimes, they're not this good but good thing they're good on this tournament.

Yeah exactly, I slightly favour Team Liquid as well although Team Spirit completely demolished the other teams that they were facing. It should have been a close game but it ended pretty quickly. Fans were really dissapointed with that, you should have seen the livechat.

The odds heavily lean on them while the H2H leans on Astralis, we'll see how desperate these teams could get now that they're potentially on their final series.

Eternal Fire lost again today.Our representative, who had a bad performance against Sashi, showed a bad performance on the T side on the Inferno map and brought his situation to 1-2.Our representative, who will face Astralis tomorrow, must first defeat his opponent Astralis tomorrow in order to participate in the Major.A challenging match awaits them and I don't think they are very good mentally.I hope they will win tomorrow and the situation will come to 2-2 and remain in the last match.

It's unbelievable to see them sitting in the 1-2 bracket as they could be the next set of teams to get eliminated.

Also, their next series against Astralis is crazy, somehow both top ten teams had to face each other to extend their major run.

The odds heavily lean on them while the H2H leans on Astralis, we'll see how desperate these teams could get now that they're potentially on their final series.

And still got the same bet for the same teams for their matches for the grand finals and as well as for the battle of 3rd and 4th placers.

Oh gosh I didnt bet today. I would have still gone for Team Liquid today although I might skip GG.

Team Liquid just won 3-0. Expecting it to be really close but it seems Team Liquid is just way better. Considering that Team Liquid only replaced 1 member compared to 3 members from Team Spirit then this is totally expected.

ESL ONE Bangkok is going to be fun. I thought WEU is done for but Team Liquid looks promising

To be honest, it's hard to read on Team Liquid. Sometimes, they're not this good but good thing they're good on this tournament. They take home $50k for the prize. Gaimin Gladiators also did good ending up 2-0 against Parivision.

I'm also excited for the ESL Bangkok, most teams are set going there soon two weeks from now.

Eternal Fire should have beaten 3Dmax on the Nuke map, they couldn't finish the match in overtime, now they have another difficult match.
I don't know if the players will be able to focus on the match to win while they are disappointed, we will see. Also, 3Dmax team beat G2 today 2-1.
They achieved a good winning streak by beating EF and G2. I was quite surprised that m0nesy hit less than IGL in the match played by G2.

Eternal Fire closed the first day with a 2-1 record.They played a good game against Aurora.They started the group with a 13-8 win on our national map Dust2.In the second match, we watched a very close encounter.3 In a match that went to overtime twice with DMax, Eternal Fire could not win the match.3DMAX's next opponent will be G2, while EF will face Sashi.While we expect EF to beat Sashi tomorrow, 3DMAX will most likely lose to G2.

They only went 1-1 so far after fumbling the second match against 3dmax that went to double OT.

On paper Eternal Fire should beat Sashi in their next series, but somehow see this one being close to a toss-up because of how underwhelming Eternal Fire played in their last match.

G2 should have an easy time against 3dmax. The only way this gets close is if G2 has a sloppy game like what we saw yesterday during their second game against 9pandas.

To be honest, I want to take Team Spirit instead of Gaimin Gladiators because they're having inconsistency after Dyrachyo is out of the team. While Quinnn praises the IQ of watson as their new position 1 carry, still that doesn't change the fact that they're having hard time coping with their new roster or it's just for this few months.

We both agree for Team Liquid so good luck to our bets.

Seems like it went as expected. Team Liquid and Team Spirit. I didnt expect that the game would be one sided for Team Spirit, thought it would be over 2.5 maps. Gosh I should have gone for -1.5, I actually had a hunch that it could happen but since that it was a parlay bet then I settled with only moneyline

Next game is kinda tricky but I personally want to go for Team Liquid. It seems bookies favour Team Spirit by a slight margin because Team Spirit hasnt lose a single map yet so far

Got some pick with the matches tomorrow for the 1W tournament, I hope that Team Liquid won't disappoint as to how Parivision did. Also betting against Team Spirit still, I'd go with Gaimin Gladiators.

Oh wow taking GG over Team Spirit is kinda wild there. GG was having abit of problem dealing with Nigma yesterday and yeah Im taking Team Spirit for this. As for Team Liquid, I guess we both agree that they are going to win against Parivision

Well speaking of Nigma, they came in pretty close yesterday but GG was way better on the 3rd map. Totally not one of the top team in ESL Bangkok but atleast they have improved pretty well.

That already concluded their journey for this tournament and this gives them more time in preparation of the ESL Bangkok. We're on the semifinals though.
