Team nigma has a lack of every thing imagine MC now becomes part of the OG which is really suitable for him because the OG can really give a good team coordination to make sure their offline MC makes a good items for initiation for the next move is their snow balling.

Nope mate, MC isn't part now of OG. He just played for OG on the Berlin major as their stand-in offlane but he's still with Nigma.

Check this out. The current stand-in for OG is their position 4 for Taiga -> Aramis. All in all, they've got still the same roster but just that stand-in for their support as seen on that page.

MC is still part of Nigma and they'll play for Division 2 on the month of June.

While waiting for the DPC markets to come up, i've put a unit on Faze ML @1.87 since I watched some of the Blast major matches earlier, and they almost lost to BNE, but they look better than NaVi.

Faze kinda slipped a bit in the first map- Overpass but they really made some good comeback near the end of the first map but last few won by Navi. Really entertaining first map.

I also have put my bet on Faze to win and I hope they turn around things in second and third map to win this now. Navi surprisingly are playing better than the matches they have played in Blast but I guess given the situation they have to now.

The odds for the +1.5 handicaps on the WEU DPC matches ~~later~~ tomorrow are pretty decent. I've checked another sportsbook, and all three handicaps are at 1.50~ at the minimum, so i'll probably place one or two single bets since I don't trust any of the favorites to sweep atm.

Fnatic to beat G2 2-1 was a 7x bet and somehow I thought that should be bet because of the odds not because its likely but the value of taking this bet means its fair to do so. In CS anything can happen and yep that is just what happened, Fnatic beats G2 when really they shouldnt but all the biggest teams get counter strat'd and thats why CS is different I guess, teams doing their homework can bring the win. Kinda amazing for them, hope they take it forward for another win

CS:GO maps may not be changing that rapidly when compared to other games out there, players are still finding new ways to play the game and to get ahead of other teams in certain maps and we love it. G2 is supposed to be a finalist contender in this last major, but they dropped to Fnatic whom haven't really been up to shape on the last few tournaments. It's still something unique in CS that not every other esports titles can't replicate.

Even my 3 map bet for ENCE and NIP is not a winner, thats sad as ENCE have definitely done better in the past. Anyway lesson learned, take 7x bets on underdogs if you get a feeling it could happen its worth it just for fun has to be

Or maybe just bet on some of the underdogs just for the hell of it with low amounts and just hope for the best? Grin

It seems that some of the roster from Nigma has been standing-in for some teams. But still good luck to them and the game is about to happen within a few hours like 5-6 hours from now.

Well for now the team members are really capable of standing in because they are still top tier players but thats not really the whole point of Team Nigma if in the end they are just those 'mercenary' team. They need to figure out their own game soon otherwise there is no point for them to stick together, they should have let go of their entire roster

Team nigma has a lack of every thing imagine MC now becomes part of the OG which is really suitable for him because the OG can really give a good team coordination to make sure their offline MC makes a good items for initiation for the next move is their snow balling. Miracle after getting into different team's and wins a lot of tournament and it's time for the new era of the players. I don't know kuro already win a TI unlike puppey and still keep playing even there's a problem with their team and his health condition.

We are going to continue with lower bracket matchups in the MSI tournament continuing on League of Legends. The first one is tomorrow which is G2 - BLG and the starting time of the series is 12.00 (GMT). G2 are one of the strongest European teams in this game but they still don't seem strong enough against Korea and China teams. G2 can at least fight better than NA teams in this series I reckon. But BLG would be the winner at the end most probably.

A day later, C9's job is very tough against Gen.G and honestly I expect Gen.G to win the series by 3-0 directly. I'm afraid NA gameplay is still not satisfying at all to me. Gen.G are even likely to reach the finale from here but it is better to not prejudiced already now of course.

DPC tour is Dota and CSGO both made by Valve but sadly no closer links then that Cheesy

I always wanted league or Dota but optional First Person view, but thats another game :p

Check liquipedia.com. Both of them and another esports league can be found there and it's always updated by the community right now there's a match that's happening in SEA and that's with Execration and Bleed Esports. The standing for these teams are currently 1-1 and it's a best-of-3 game so, 1 more map remaining and it's live now. Execration has got a pick of Huskar and Techies with Rexxar(Beastmaster). Let's see if they'll be able to execute whatever plans they've got on their minds.

While the DPC tour has already started for the two regions and then we've got some fresh faces and teams again coming from the division 2.

This is an exciting day ahead, later on the games are about to start.

Speaking of some new face, GH will be standing in for Boxi tomorrow against Entity. Pretty sure that Liquid is going to win against Entity but with Boxi not around, its going to change some dynamic of their gameplay therefore Im going for Entity 1.5 on this game. Other reason on why Im taking this bet is because the odds are great Roll Eyes

Good bets for CS tommorow, I'm opting for 3 maps on Nip vs ENCE but I think ENCE win ? not certain enough.
G2 will beat Fnatic I think and put that with a multi bet win for Faze Navi Liquid. Thats enough ways I could lose on erratic performances but hopefully a decent bet

The other teams that I think will make the round are Heroic,Vitality,G2,Fnatic,Faze,Furia and Ence.

G2, FaZe, and Furia are on 0-2 elimination matches today. RIP our Pick'ems Cheesy

FaZe and G2 looking really weak, getting sent down to 0-2 by arguably the weakest teams, i.e. BNE and ITB. To be fair it was a BO1, but still disappointing regardless. Hopefully, we can see their better form in the BO3 matches today.

Navi is also not in their prime yesterday, getting schooled by Liquid in CT side inferno 14-1. Something is wrong and S1mple missing easy shots didn't help. The only strong contenders for the title now are Heroic and Vitality. Betting on them to get that 3-0 wins.

It has been on a downhill for some time now so it is not surprising that they will lose but to the weakest team, that is a new low for them. I do not know what happened to them, but they do not seem to get the frags that they used to.

There's another news about them and Valve has accepted this transition and that's good them and for the team.

Vitality was also in a downhill performance, but it is good to see them getting back on track. I am not betting on them though. Maybe I can on Heroic but I am still 50-50 on Vitality.

Strange how could they both be weak and here Im watching Gamerlegion doing good work vs Fnatic. Cant say I know much about these players or the combination as a team, surely they are new (3 joined last Sept) still though everyone at this level is known but not to me especially. Time to watch some games, just a bo1 and I'll wait to bet on bo3 ideally be better informed.
I know the players dont like bo1 but Valve prefers it for format and time reasons I think, to some extent for expedience I can see why it would make some sense but the teams themselves consider a single map as quite random any team can beat another to some extent.

Speaking of Old G, it seems that PuckChamp has taken the entire roster. So coming from Old G, they're now Puckchamp. Will still wait for the official announcement.

I think I saw a news article earlier that OLD G bought PuckChamps slot in Div 2 so they won't have to go through the qualifiers.

https://dotesports.com/dota-2/news/old-g-buy-their-way-out-of-dota-pro-circuit-relegation-avoid-open-qualifier-grind-despite-ban

As the article says, this does not guarantee that OLD G could retain their slot. They need to fight harder this time since TI 12 is already near. They need to take this seriously and that means bootcamp, scrimmage and all. I think this team still have what it take to be great but they should put the effort now.

Agree on the 0-3 for ITB. That's exactly my 0-3 pick in in-game Pick'Em. NaVi, FaZe, Vitality, G2, and Heroic should make it. Furia historically always performed amazing in major I'm going to pick them too. Also putting in Ence for their 3-0 Challenger result.

As I said, it's a great success for them that ITB has even come this far. My choices were as follows
3-0 NaVi
0-3 ITB
The other teams that I think will make the round are Heroic,Vitality,G2,Fnatic,Faze,Furia and Ence.
I was surprised by NaVi's performance against Liquid today and I can say that they played a very bad game. YEKINDAR, on the contrary, was the player who backed the team.

I will be waiting with curiosity to see who will be the champion in the last csgo major.I think navi will definitely be one of the first teams to go 3-0 in this group stage.It could be a tournament where both navi and G2 will be in a fierce race.For s1mple and niko, the chance to be champion in the last major is inevitable. There is also vitality, but for some reason I find it weak for them to get this far.zywoo is playing alone in the team and I was not sure what they would do since apex usually demoralizes the team.I am one of those who think that the ITB team will be eliminated without winning a match.I think it was a great success for them to even get this far.

Speaking of Old G, it seems that PuckChamp has taken the entire roster. So coming from Old G, they're now Puckchamp. Will still wait for the official announcement.

Well actually the rumours are that Old G purchased that spot from PuckChamp to stay in division 2. One part of the reason would be a guarantee chance to play in the TI qualifiers because only teams that in on division 1 and 2 will be able to join. Obviously their chances are high to get through the open qualifier but it still chances so purchasing this slot was actually a good move

We don't know if they've actually purchased it or they've been chosen by PuckChamp to play for them instead. Yes, the chance for TI qualifiers is high and we're about to get into it. While this DPC season tour 3, maybe this is the last one and will be followed by the Bali major. All of the DPC points given to these tournaments are quite high.

And that's why no team shall miss this and all of them are going to be seriously going on with these two tournaments to take as much DPC as they can. It's easier if they just get to qualify through points instead of going war in the qualifiers.

I am only familiar with a few of them for One Move, it's only gilgir and afterlife(former Vega). While for UALEIKUMNIHAO, it's only Palantimos. Personally if I'll bet on this game, I'll go with One Move but who knows.
