What a crazy week this was in the IEM Dallas 2023, we saw G2 getting knocked out by FaZe and also Astralis losing to Mouz. Today are the two semi-finals being played and the grand finale is up tomorrow. The first match is going to be Heroic vs Mouz, where I am going to put all my money on Heroic. I really like the Mouz team, but it was a big surprise for them to even get so far in the tournament. Heroic is still ranked #2 team in the world and should be winning the match easily in a best of 3 setup. Also the two teams already faced each other during the tournament and Heroic won 2-0 without any problems. The second match is going to be ENCE vs Faze, which is going to be much closer. The two teams are quite strong and it's hard to predict the outcome. On paper FaZe seems like the stronger team and should win this game, but the two teams already played each other in the B group and ENCE won 2-0. This might be a psychological problem now for FaZe and they could choke. That is why I am going with ENCE with a smaller size bet. The finals tomorrow will likely be Heroic vs ENCE, where Heroic is going to win.
Yes, thanks buddy.
But if Tundra can ask for consideration and is willing to make several requests, maybe there will be a solution regarding visas to be able to come to Indonesia because this is a game competition so it doesn't trigger many people to arrive there.
After all, there will surely be the best way or solution to solve problems regarding visas.
They can't just ask consideration for it. They'll be asking the Indonesian government to do such with 33's visa but with their history together with Israel, all I can say is that they're not in good terms and that's why there's nothing 33 and Tundra can do to this.But if Tundra can ask for consideration and is willing to make several requests, maybe there will be a solution regarding visas to be able to come to Indonesia because this is a game competition so it doesn't trigger many people to arrive there.

Let's just hope for the best for 33 and his team if ever they're qualified to go to Bali but that's much likely that they'll qualify. And if application of visa for 33 don't work, they'll have to look for another stand-in and I think that might be resolution as the stand-in of all time. LOL.
Moreover, for now Esports is in a very superior phase in various countries including Indonesia and with the arrival of a big team like Tundra in Bali, Indonesia will be eagerly waiting and supported by most Indonesians who are Esports lovers.
Anyways today Tundra will be playing against Gaimin Gladiators.
The odds are bigger on Tundra and even though the two teams are equally strong, my belief is always on Tundra's side.
Hopefully they can give satisfactory results.
Congratulations on winning that bet despite that GG lost this game, they're still now gonna go on Bali and at the same time, they are going to the The International assuring their slot. Well played and well done to them. The odds are bigger on Tundra and even though the two teams are equally strong, my belief is always on Tundra's side.
Hopefully they can give satisfactory results.
Also, Talon might be missing out on the major after Execration pulled off the upset, and the impressive part is they had a shit draft with barely any disables during that game 3 and still made it work. Now their spot for the major will depend on the last series (Blacklist vs AG) that's scheduled on Monday.
What they lacked in disable, they compensated in slow and chase. That Veno and Beastmaster combo with the boar and BS cleanup is nasty, although they are sure to be pummeled in the mid game as they don't have that much kill potential at all unless they they got good initiation on their side. Xctn only needed some items and levels and they turned the game around. I'm Talon opted for a Spirit Breaker rather than some high damage burst hero that can help take down that Enchantress. Would have made their lives easier but yea, Talon is going for the crazy plays I guess.
That's sweet ralle!
Although Tundra secures a Bali major slot, I don't think that they'll ever give a win against Team Secret. Pity to Team Secret and OG as these two teams are gonna be relegated to division 2.
Thanks, and I agree in their last series later today, they'll probably do a limit test or do some draft experimentation, and Team Secret will still win one map at best.Although Tundra secures a Bali major slot, I don't think that they'll ever give a win against Team Secret.

OG still has a chance if they win against D1 Hustlers then that's it for D1 Hustlers and Entity as they'll have a tie on who's gonna be the other team that will be relegated to division 2.

It feels kinda weird that the best team in SEA is missing out on the next Major based on their region but given their current DPC points, pretty sure they are going to make it to TI. They need another 91 points and they are going to get the 4th spot so thats another 100 DPC points which guarantee them their participation on the next TI
Took this for tomorrow's game. Im quite a fan of Talon but I think Execration is pretty much good enough to take a single map from them
Won this one, decent odds actually and I parlayed it with horse riding
By the way, today Tundra will fight Team Secret but I only get 1.16 Odds for Tundra.
Good thing they lost game 1 and I got their live odds with 1.72. Team Secret almost took game 2, but Tundra still came out on top and BOOM was kind of sloppy with his Batrider.

Looking forward to the G2 vs FaZe match. It's going to be an exciting showdown, and I have a feeling it might be much closer than the odds suggest. While G2 is definitely considered the favorite, I'll be rooting for FaZe.
That will be a thrilling match for sure. Both teams have some crazy players like m0NESY (G2) and broky (Faze) who have performed exceptionally for their respective teams and I am excited to see which one of them prevails in their roles. broky had some real clutch moments in Blast Paris Major and he is red hot form right now.
Yes G2 are definitely the favourites but I also feel like Faze are very much capable as well. I had seen them making comebacks in some tight situations so it's still anybody's game. I would also be rooting for Faze here as I like their spirit and karrigan who drives his team so well.
Just a glimpse of broky from Blast Major: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YSBUQUKE6Vw (sends chills down my spine
)For the Astralis vs Mouz match, if Device can bring the same level of performance he displayed in the last two matches, Astralis should have the upper hand. He was an absolute beast in their game against ENCE, with a remarkable rating of 1.51 even though they ended up losing. That's some serious carrying right there. Hope his back doesn't hurt In any case, I'm confident that Heroic will secure their spot in the final, and they might even take home the title. Both Astralis and Mouz just don't seem to be on the same level as Heroic at the moment.

I am not worried about device much but considering how rest of the team is playing I have doubts on this one. MOUZ also hasn't been in much of a form but they also have some good players. I am rooting in for Astralis here to make a thrilling semifinal with Heroic at least but yeah Heroic should be the one prevailing out and advancing to the finals.
But for @tusandii, are you sure that Tundra is in first place in this DPC? isn't it GG who took first place in the DPC this season?
But for DPC the first position is held by Team Liquid and GG is in second place while Tundra is in fourth place but I'm sure Tundra can be number one.
This match is lucky for those of us who choose Tundra because we can win with high enough odds.
That's true, the bookies were generous with their odds when they've been constantly winning against GG in the regional DPC but usually lose in the major.By the way, today Tundra will fight Team Secret but I only get 1.16 Odds for Tundra.

Took this live bet

I guess its either my dumb luck is acting up or Liquid is planning on taking it easy on this last DPC because they dont really need anymore points. It gets pretty unpredictable at this point. I was kinda sure before this season start, Entity might make it to top at this late stage of DPC because Watson was actually pretty good in pub but Quest was actually pretty decent when I expected them to be at bottom 2 though
it's maybe that Liquid just get too confident that they took it very easy not knowing that DPC. But if it is fighting for a position and placement, that would be a tough game for both sides both aiming for a win. One will get eliminated, one will advance to next. both hustles hard.
We are in the single elimination bracket stage in IEM Dallas 2023. Heroic and ENCE are the winners of the upper finals in their groups. There are going to be Astralis v MOUZ and G2 v FaZe matchups in the quarter-finals to determine the opponents of Heroic and ENCE. I think MOUZ can eliminate Astralis. Because we don't have the old Astralis anymore. They are quite vulnerable and MOUZ are a strong team to deal with them. G2 v FaZe is actually a matchup that is like a final series in a big tournament.
G2 have a pretty solid head-to-head history against them recently though. I feel like they will be one step ahead once again and win by a score like 2-1. I think the name of the grand final will be Heroic v G2 as well.

G2 vs FaZe, I'd go with G2. These guys are performing quite well recently and you're right, their H2H against FaZe is good, but you can never know when FaZe would do their thing wherein they can drop the current best teams to earn themselves a spot.
I'm keen on seeing a FaZe vs ENCE matchup to see whether the boys at ENCE can still floor FaZe right now. They're a strong team that always goes under the radar and only becomes hot in the middle of the tournament, but this time around they are the ones who are dictating the tempo of the games. If G2 wins the match, it will be leaning more towards G2 IMO, but who knows.

Team Spirit seems to found a way to get that juice back eh ? It seems that Larl is really fitted for Mid on TS because his play style is way more aggressive than Team Spirit is used to play with ...as Spirit is a team who likes to defend a lot and take fights on defense mode and rarely they go to swarm the map but somehow Larl is making huge improvements lately. 
He is only good at the EEU division and if you compare him to other pos 2 in the previous Major, there were a hell lot of gap between him and other top pos 2. Team Spirit is a very decent team but to actually win with Larl as their pos 2 in the next Major, its not going to happen but atleast at this rate they'll make it to TI for sure through DPC points
Took this for tomorrow's game. Im quite a fan of Talon but I think Execration is pretty much good enough to take a single map from them

And there you go, Team Spirit made another strong finish and is now sitting at 6-0 and will most likely secure the top spot and earn that juicy 500 points. Larl's an offensive machine which is what should expect from mid-laners. Not saying TORONTOTOKYO was a not killer because he was a beast before his play changed and his current position at BetBoom clarifies that he may prefer the role of support after spending most of his time as a professional mid-laner.
Meanwhile, things are getting interesting in other regions. TSM for the first time this season might not qualify for the Bali Major as nouns remains undefeated. The same situation at SEA wherein the loser between Execration and Talon will most likely miss this season's last major. Chinese DPC leading team Xtreme Gaming is also struggling to get a spot in its region. And there's also the Saudi team Quest Esports as a new team representing western Europe in the coming major.

The odds are bigger on Tundra and even though the two teams are equally strong, my belief is always on Tundra's side.
Hopefully they can give satisfactory results.
I cashed in on that Tundra pick as well, i'm surprised that the bookies had Tundra as the underdogs on this series when they took down Team Liquid in the last series and only needed to take down Gaimin Gladiators to secure first place. Hopefully they can give satisfactory results.
I got a bit greedy and even added D1 Hustlers live, as they're on the second map for the extra odds boost.
This match is lucky for those of us who choose Tundra because we can win with high enough odds.
Yes and it's been proven that Tundra managed to occupy the first place and become the king in the DPC.
Congratulations on your victory for choosing Tundra as the winner with quite high odds.
You guys have such a fitting belief that you would have no hesitation in placing your bet on the TI champ that is Tundra.
A little disappointed I didn't bet on this match.
But for @tusandii, are you sure that Tundra is in first place in this DPC? isn't it GG who took first place in the DPC this season?

I wouldn't be too greedy with D1 against Entity but well, the results are good and you've made some nice bets there. I guess tomorrow's match is a consolation and that will be Team Secret against Tundra.
Although Tundra secures a Bali major slot, I don't think that they'll ever give a win against Team Secret. Pity to Team Secret and OG as these two teams are gonna be relegated to division 2.

Now you are betting on much better odds and I totally love this. Tundra ended up winning though, I guess this pretty much tell us that GG domination on the 3rd Major might not be as huge as the previous two Major
Took this live bet because Im quite confident that Quest wont really make it to win against Liquid. Although Liquid technically has qualified for TI, pretty sure they still want to play on the 3rd Major
Maybe in the DPC they will survive being the strongest.
It looks like you are unlucky because Team Liquid lost to Quest Esport 0 - 2 but this actually doesn't make sense because Liquid itself is a pretty strong team even those at TI managed to play really well.
But this is just a DPC match so some teams don't play too seriously.
