It is not just a good job because I think that what Invictus Gaming did is not an easy feat to do which is winning 3 games straight and a mistake could cost you the championship. The reason that they aren't banning Storm Spirit is because they want to bait Evil Geniuses into picking it so they can counter the hero.

You mean this? https://youtu.be/NWyOE5cAw0g?t=1266 Yeah that was a harsh trashtalk but at least they win up the game.On next game you can see that they are FF'ing on IG.Emo maybe they're pissed on that one. lol

Congratulations to IG to be the grandwinner of Singapore Major.

EG did make a good 2-0 score on having a lead of Best of 5 but IG do able to close that gap and tied up till game 4. Its odd that they arent banning out that Storm spirit and been
commonly picked but IG did manage to have those counters.

Emo chatting out globally putting "?" is really a very risk move when they are on game 3 but they do able to carry it out.
Well played IG.

Agent M and Nisha is not performing well on there match against IG. Imagine they are fighting PL 4v1 then they are still being killed 1 by 1 because Nisha Monkey King keep fighting it blow by blow even he is overpowered by PL that game.

There support is very consistent but there Pos 1 and 2 is not that consistent anymore on this Major unlike there game on CIS qualifier. So sad.

Most of us have expected that it will be EG and Secret in the finals and yeah, I was expecting that Secret will won the series but they ended up being beaten and played like kida by IG.

Abed never gets old and even with the pandemic, that is the reason why EG is patient on him and won't release him to their roster.

I was really expecting for Secret to beat up IG but it turns out 0-2 still a good game though.Puppeys reflexes were always amazing as i had observed.
EG is just waiting up for the finals and facing the the team who would win on that Lower bracket Bo5 tomorrow or 5 hours from now.
Just to say that ABED is too bad ass. 

The darkhorse is out, Secret is also out.

Last match and decider game for the lower bracket and it would be two Chinese teams.

PSG.LGD versus Invictus Gaming, both are good teams but PSG.LGD came from the wild card and they've went too far.

While Evil Geniuses are waiting for the finals and they'll fight whoever will win on that decider and last match for the lower bracket.

Oh boy, TP got kick out by IG for close fight. I really rooting those South American boys to see on grand finals. Anyway they have a good run on this Majors and maybe we should see them on TI soon.

I hope Team will overcome the lower bracket curse and have a match on EG in the finals. They are the only team remaining who have a shot against EG. Arteezy is kinda jinx against Agent M.

OB Neon and Secret's match is epic and one of the best on this tournament. OB Neon got the respect of these tier 1 teams and they're not even complete because Natsumi isn't with them which is also a very good carry.

With good communication since Deth is a Singaporean and with less time that they've played, they still played well. That Matu's troll and Yopaj's Windranger got the decision of the game 3, if only Puppey didn't hexed spirit breaker, Neon was about to win it but still it's Puppey and his squad team secret.

He is probably thinking of the Roshan equivalent in League of Legends. Neon really looked good today but being defeated by Team Secret is somewhat a good thing since they really made Secret work hard for that much needed win. Neon fans should not be sad since they really did well in this Tournament. EG vs. PSG.LGD will surely be a blockbuster because of their meetups at this upper bracket finals.

Yeah! Everyone's getting crazy with TP and we're now having a favorite to watch not just for this major but for the next tournaments. Hard to say about Neon but they're really also a good team despite lacking of experience in international tournaments.

But the most exciting part always goes to TP. They're like the Wings of TI6.  

So good to watch TP games right? They dominated completely VP like an amateur on both game 1 and 2. I'm very excited for tomorrow matches. I think Secret and TP will have a rematch on lower bracket because Neon is still not that pretty solid against veteran team like Secret which always play in TI. But as a Filipino, I'm still hoping that they might win and I will put some minimal bet for them in case they won. 

They've outplayed really well VG.

Thunder Predator won and they're going to be against IG tomorrow.

As for Neon and Secret, I think they can even get 1 game for it. I doubted them against VG, despite being solid, they've won against them and Neon wasn't solid on their line up but they've got a good stand in, deth.

But I guess Secret is already prepared to face them and puppey got some counter for them already.

TP will surely win this match. There gameplay is very unique and fresh to what we usually see on the tournament on CIS and SEA. This South American really showing an impressive game and the real dark horse on this major tournament.

---

Do you think Neon can win even 1 game to Secret considering Secret lose to PSG? The 4.12 odds is really sexy.

I watched the Game 3 live of NEON vs VG, and it is a one-sided match. OB.Neon Yopaj took the spotlight as his Puck incredibly caught 3 in almost all of the clashes that happened in the game. Buying Dagon 5 directly after dagger, he accumulated 13 kills with 0 deaths.

The aggressive playstyle of the the team is the piece that leads them to win.

EG won

PSG.LGD won, rand won.

Now watching, Neon versus VG - game 1. Edit: Neon won.

VP versus TP will start after Neon and VG.

Who's baron, nashor?

That's a 2-2 for your bets, a break-even.

With your latest predictions I would only agree with the last one, Neon vs VG. But the 3 other matches, they're hard to predict but I would usually go to those teams that have shown good performances and known in their tiers.

Anyway, good luck rand. The games are up within a few hours.

[DOTA 2, Friday April 2nd] Singapore Major is moving on. Today we have 2 upper and 2 lower bracket matches. High stakes, amazing teams, crazy series. 8 teams remained in the tournament. Here are my picks and predictions for today.

Evil Geniuses vs Invictus Gaming: Invictus Gaming ML @ 2.03, Pinnacle

A no brainer for me. Invictus Gaming was the best Dota 2 team in China in the previous months, and the current Chinese Dota stage is much more competitive and higher compared to North American where we basically have only 2 competitive teams that can win something, Evil Geniuses and Quincy Crew. EG won against weak Fnatic in the round 1 of the upper bracket, while Invictus Gaming had a close 2-1 series vs their brothers Vici Gaming. Overall, there are no heavy favourites here, odds are very similar. My pick here is China.

Team Secret vs PSG.LGD: PSG.LGD +1.5 @ 1.77, Pinnacle

Yes, Team Secret is the best team in Europe by far. Especially in the last year. However, they had some flukes this season, they are not as vulnerable as before I think. On the other side, PSG.LGD is playing nice Dota, aggressive and unpredictable. Team Secret are heavily favoured here, and I don’t like this. I do believe PSG.LGD will have a proper chance for a map or series even in some crazy scenario. Yes, PSG.LGD lost to Thunder Predator, the team that Secret won, even if it was not a clean win. Odds on PGD.LGD are amazing in this one, worth trying for. 2-1 for Secret? Sign me up.

VirtusPro vs Thunder Predator: VirtusPro ML @ 1.88, GGbet

Strange how VirtusPro is favoured team here by bookies. Even vs Thunder Predator, a team that is the real underdog in this tournament. Underdog that is crushing all opponents. Their only loss was vs Team Secret in the last series they’ve played. And they played Group Stage. Overall, amazing run, but I believe this may be the end of the road. I may be wrong, as they are playing really attractive and smart Dota, but I like guys from CIS more. If they could play their A game from the beginning of the season, that should be enough. But we will see, I think this is an open match overall.

Vici Gaming vs OB Neon: Vici Gaming ML @ 1.30, Pinnacle

Vici Gaming is an amazing squad, they had some struggles, that’s true. A loss in the group stage vs Liquid, a team that is already out of the tournament, made them feel uncomfortable. 1-2 loss vs Invictus Gaming in the playoffs was expected. They are much stronger than their results are showing, and I do believe crushing OB Neon won’t be a problem for them today. Even if OB Neon crushed Liquid and Fnatic in their last series, I don’t see them advancing on today. Vici is just a few levels above them.

[DOTA 2, Wednesday April 1st] Day 1 of the Singapore Major went as expected. 3 favourites and 1 underdog won their series as we predicted. Upper bracket is over for now, and today we are following 4 lower bracket matches.

Fnatic vs OB Neon: Fnatic @ 1.50, GGbet

Fnatic had a rough day 1 in the playoffs. 0-2 vs Evil Geniuses. But I would say that was expected as Evil Geniuses are much stronger and just on another level. On the other side, I do believe that OB Neon is the weakest team in the playoffs. Even though they did beat Team Liquid with 2-0, that was their only real win in the Group Stages and Liquid came so unprepared to this tournament. This should be Fnatic’s game. Slightly lower odds, but should be a sure win.

Vici Gaming vs Team Liquid: Vici Gaming @ 1.72, Pinnacle

Now this is a real clash. One of the best Chinese teams right now vs one of the best European squads. As I already said, I feel like Chinese teams are very strong this season and this is another plus for Vici. Chinese teams have hard regimes and hard training within high quality eco systems and leagues. That’s another way why Chinese Dota 2 teams are so strong usually. Liquid is not in their top form. In the group stages they’ve only managed to win one series and that was a win vs Vici Gaming, their opponent today. This is a higher stake match, and I do believe Vici Gaming can take this. Liquid had a fluke match vs OB Neon too, losing 0-2, so everything is open here.

Thunder Predator vs Team Aster: Team Aster +1.5 @ 1.50, Pinnacle

This will be a very hard series for Aster. They already lost once against Thunder Predator in the group stages. Another minus for Aster is that they are still playing with a standin, and that is seen on their last matches. 1 win, 3 losses and 3 draws in the group stages. Thunder Predator won the group stage, but they got crushed by Secret in the round 1 of the playoffs. Now this is all of nothing for them. High stake match, loser is going home. Yes, Thunder Predators are favourites, but I feel like Aster can pull out a map here. Decent odds, and decent chances for them to try upset the favourites.

VirtusPro vs Quincy Crew: VirtusPro @ 1.33, betway

Actually Quincy Crew did much better as I thought they would. They finished their group stage run in 4th place with 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses which is pretty solid if we take into consideration that they are playing with a standin on position 4. MSS is missing and he is being replaced by Poloson. However, I do think this is the end of the road for them. VirtusPro should be too strong for them. Even though VirtusPro failed to beat PSG.LGD in the upper bracket round 1, I do believe they are higher level then Quincy Crew. Everything should be on their side. Odds are slightly lower, but should be enough for a bigger safe bet.

GL all!

Virtus Pro does always choke from mid game and knowing LGD which is really well on surpressing enemy team on early farm.So thats treally a good choice.
For Secret then theres no doubt to that but on that 3rd selection then i would definitely go with Vici gaming i do have much trust with
Ori and Erica
