[DOTA 2 Wednesday] Yesterday was a hard day for many Dota bettors. With a lot of favourites dominating, few of them fell. OG had a hard match against Nigma, but they’ve won 2-1. Spider Pigz didn’t manage to take down Hellbear Smashers, one of the favourites to take the Snow Sweet Snow trophy. Let’s see what Wednesday can bring us. Here are my picks and predictions for today.

TNC Predator vs BOOM Esports: TNC Predator ML @ MY BETSLIP

Two of favourites are fighting today for a direct point in the battle for the top of the group rankings. This is the match of the day in the SEA region for sure. Interestingly enough, in the last 4 months those two teams played 3 times. TNC didn’t win a single map vs BOOM. Can history repeat itself? I somehow doubt it. This can be a 3 map match, but TNC Predator is somehow being more aggressive in their recent games. Those games brought them 2 wins and 2 losses. BOOM Esports has the same stats, but I would say TNC had a harder schedule and they played some really close series vs Neon, who are the biggest surprise of this tournament.

Brame vs Hellbear Smashers: Hellbear Smashers ML @ MY BETSLIP

This can be a one way match it seems so. But I don’t think it will be so easy for Hellbear Smashers. Their last series went to all 3 maps and it was a very close one. Hellbears won that one with a 2-1. They are on a huge winning streak in all competitions, a big 11 matches without a loss. Brame are playing better and better, and they’ve crushed strong Imperial Pro Gaming with a 2-0 for their 4th win in a row. Taking into account only DPC EU lower division matches, Hellbears are firmly on the top. 4-0 score vs Brame’s 2-2. HellBears should take this match quite convincingly. If you are brave enough and you love to risk, -1.5 handicap would be an amazing bet too.

Vikin.gg vs High Coast Esports: Vikin.gg ML @ MY BETSLIP

This should be a no brainer. High Coast Esports is a new squad, consisting of ex Chicken Fighters players. Their track record is very bad, 4 matches, 4 losses. 0% win rate. Even if they have a decent team on the paper, they just can’t cope with the competition in the EU upper division. Vikin.gg are flying high on their last win vs Team Nigma, and I don’t believe HCE will be a threat to Vikings. It shouldn’t be. Even though Vikin.gg has only 1 win and 2 losses. Those will be the battle of the two last positioned teams in the division. It’s fair to say HCE is already out, and they don’t have a chance to make it out of the group, but Vikin.gg are still fighting for their spot at the upper part of the table. All in Vikin.gg.

Creepwave vs No Bounty Hunter: Creepwave -1.5 @ MY BETSLIP

No Bounty Hunters are amongst the worst teams in the division. But strangely enough they are doing good. With a 3 wins and 1 loss they placed themselves in the upper part of the standings. Basically, they’ve beat 3 weakest teams in the division - burjui, NoUndying and Hippomaniacs. They’ve lost to Spider Pigz with a clean 0-2. NBH have a better win rate in their last few matches, but Creepwave played much stronger teams. Wins vs Spider Pigz and Brame were really close ones, but at the end, victory is all it matters. They’ve managed to do it. They’ve even made Hellbears Smashers run for their lives in their last series that ended up with a close 1-2. Creepwave ML is the safest thing to go here, if you can find decent odds for your taste. On the contrary, -1.5 handicap is a pretty solid option.

beastcoast vs Infamous: beastcoast ML @ MY BETSLIP

Let’s be careful here. Yes, beastcoast are playing in the shape of their lives, but Infamous did take down Thunder Predators and very dangerous Team Unknown in the other competition recently. In this DPC SA tournament they have only 1 win and 2 losses, while beastcoast are still undefeated with 4 straight wins and 8-0 in the maps. This should be a clean win for beastcoast, and again beastcoast ML bet would be the safest if the odds are good. If not, riskier bet would be -1.5 handicap on the side of beastcoast. But I wouldn't go all in, Peruvian Dota tends to be very unreliable.

[DOTA 2 Tuesday] Today is a very interesting day of Dota. We will follow DPC matches in 3 regions. Together with that we will follow playoff matches of Snow Sweet Snow, an European online tier 3 tournament which has quite an interesting series. Here are my short predictions and picks for each match.

EXTREMUM vs NoUndying: EXTREMUM ML, 1.43 @ MY BETSLIP

This should be an interesting match between two tier 2 CIS squads. I do think EXTREMUM is a slightly better team and they’ve shown that in their last series vs NoUndying, 15 days ago. They took the series 2-1 in the group A of the same tournament. This will be a very close series, 3 maps possible, 60-40 in favour of EXTREMUM.

Hippomaniacs vs Meta4Pro: Hippomaniacs ML, 1.67 @ MY BETSLIP

Those are the two weakest teams in the EU DPC lower division. Hippomaniacs played 4 matches and they have 4 straight losses, while Meta4Pro played 3 matches, and they have 3 losses. Only difference is that Meta4Pro managed to win one map in this tourney so far. This can be a bloodbath, but Hippomaniacs looks better somehow. There is basically zero info on Meta4Pro and it’s players. Basically an amateur squad. Hippomaniacs are no better, but at least experience is on their side.

Ceepwave vs PuckChamp: Creepwave, 1.46 @ MY BETSLIP

Interestingly enough, both teams ended in top 2 in their groups, which was a real surprise. Nobody expected to see them perform so well, so we can say that those teams were the biggest surprises in this tournament. Both teams are looking very solid going into this match. Both squads are around 75% win ratio and this will be a hard match for both of the teams. 3 maps are highly possible here, but I believe more in Creepwave’s victory here. Somehow I like their style more. Plus they were almost impeccable in the group stage, finishing 1st with only one 1-2 loss.

Nigma vs OG: OG ML ,1.63 @ MY BETSLIP

Some say always go with OG, as we know how strong mentally they are. They are in the mode that they can beat anyone, but they can lose to anyone too. That’s their current state I think, so this match can be very dangerous. OG is 2-1, Nigma is 2-2 in this division currently, which doesn’t give too much edge to each of those teams. Statistically, their matches are always close and tend to go to all 3 maps. I must pick OG here as the winners of this series, as it’s very dangerous to go against them. You never know when w33 from Nigma can have bad performance, and so many things depend on him. He is such a player.

Hellbear Smashers vs Spider Pigz: Spider Pigzs 1.5, 1.63 @ MY BETSLIP

This should be an interesting one. Hellbear Smashers are on an amazing winning streak. They’ve ended their group stage run with 5 wins and only 2 losses, while Spider Pigz went 6-1. However Spider Pigz had one very hard match yesterday vs Brame. In their 1-2 loss to Brame they showed all the weakness. However, before that series they had some amazing wins vs teams like Nemiga, Imperial Pro Gaming and others. Surely, they can pull off a map here. +1.5 handicap on Pigz is the best bet to do here. Odds on Hellbears are so small, that handicap on the opponent team has a big value.

Alliance vs Tundra Esports: Alliance, 1.45 @ MY BETSLIP

Oh yea, Alliance is back. However, Tundra is here to break everyone’s plans. 1-2 vs OG, and 2-0 vs High Coast Esports and Team Liquid are very respectable results. They’ve crushed Liquid and I wonder if Alliance will be strong enough today to show their full potential. I doubt NikoBaby will let this happen. He is just too good, but he will have a real competition now in terms of Skitter, who is playing better and better. Odds on Alliance win are pretty decent and I suggest taking it. Alliance crushed OG with 2-0, just like Tundra crushed Liquid.

4 Zoomers vs 5ManMidas: 4 Zoomers -1.5, 1.23 @ MY BETSLIP

This one should be easy. 5ManMidas are one of two worst teams in the NA upper division. They are holding last place with 4 straight losses. 4 Zoomers are not showing strong performances like last season, but they are here. Middle of the table with 2 wins and 2 losses. They can make it 3 for sure, 3 wins. 5ManMidas are nowhere on the level of 4 Zoomers and if 4 Zoomers will play their A game they should win easily. My pick here is a 2-0 for 4 Zoomers.

[DOTA 2 Monday] New week, new Dota 2 challenges. This week we will follow most of the regions as we have some really interesting up and coming matches. Today, SEA, South American and European regions are the most crowded ones. Here are my picks and predictions for Monday matches.

HellRaisers vs Gambit: HellRaisers ML @ MY BETSLIP

CIS lower division is so competitive. With teams like HellRaisers, Gambit, Winstrike and others the division is looking really interesting. That being said, this match is a derby of the CIS lower division for sure. One of the best organizations in there battling it out. Even though Winstrike is holding 1st place, HellRaisers are a really big threat to them. They have 3 wins and a 6-3 in maps. Really nice stats. On the other side, Gambit is disappointing us, at least in those first rounds. Only 1 win out of 3 matches brought them to 4th place. They need this win so much. But I don’t think they can do it, HellRaisers is just better in all fields. HR should outclass them pretty easily. This should be a pretty big win for them, so they can keep up the pace with Winstrike who are holding 1st place with a 4-0 score right now.

Spider Pigz vs Brame: Spider Pigz ML @ MY BETSLIP

This could be a nice match. Both teams are run by Greeks, ex teammates. ThuG from Spider Pigz will fight out vs Focus, Skylark and Spartan from Brame squad, and this should be a really interesting clash between those players. They know each other, they know their opponents playstyle and this match is very open. However, due to their recent results and plays, Spider Pigz are favourites here. They are on a 4 match winning streak in all competitions and in their last 3 matches, Spider Pigz won them 2 out of 3. I think this will be the hardest match for Spider Pigz in this league until now and they will need to do everything they can to pull out a win. 70-30 for them if you ask me, but 3 maps could happen.

0-900 vs Infinity Esports: 0-900 ML @ MY BETSLIP

The South American region is always interesting. It’s teams are always providing us with amazing matches. Matches where any team can win, as they are all on pretty much equal level, at least those teams on the top. Even though this is lower division, some teams are standing out more than others. 0-900 is one of them. I think this is a real deal and a real opportunity. Odds on a 0-900 win are amazing, even though I think they should be much lower. 0-900 is a squad with 4 straight wins in this league and with 8-3 in maps. Compared to Infinity Esports that have only 2 wins out of 3 matches. 0-900 are in excellent form and they gathered a decent group of players in one team. My money is on them, as odds have big value and the team has a 80% chance of winning this match.

+ EXTREMUM - Hippomaniacs: EXTREMUM -1.5 @ MY BETSLIP

[DOTA 2 Friday] For the end of this week we have 3 amazing series in CIS DPC divisions and one top notch series between two favourites in South American upper division. Here are my picks and predictions for those Friday matches.

XactJlepbI vs PuckChamp: XactJlepbI ML @ MY BETSLIP

We are starting our Friday predictions with this CIS lower divisin match. Two decent squads are fighting for the top of the table. PuckChamp are in a much better position compared to XactJlepbI. With 2 wins and 1 loss they are holding 3rd place in the rankings. On the other side, XactJlepbI has only 1 win from 3 matches. Really bad performance from them when we take into account their lineup. On paper, they look really strong. With Magical, KingR and Funn1k gathered under one banner they should and they must do better. PuckChamp did show some amazing matches lately. From their last 5 matches in all competitions, they have only 1 loss. XactJlepbI struggled with Brame in their last series, but I believe they have all that it takes to beat PuckChamp.

Live to Win vs Empire: Live to Win ML @ MY BETSLIP

This could potentially be one amazing series. I love the Live to Win squad. They still didn’t explode, but they have amazing potential and class. Both squads have 1 win and 1 loss in this tournament. However, I would say that the Empire had a slightly harder schedule. VirtusPro and Spirit were their first opponents. Shockingly, Spirit fell to the Empire while VirtusPro devastated the Empire, as we all expected. Yes, Live to Win struggled in their last series, where Empire did surprise a few teams on their way. They are on a 2 match winning streak and I do believe they will give a hell of a time to Live to Win. But in the end, Live to Win should be a better team and they should take this series. +1.5 handicap on Empire could possibly hit too, if you want to risk more.

VirtusPro vs EXTREMUM: VirtusPro -1.5 @ MY BETSLIP

Whenever VirtusPro plays it should be named the match of the day. It’s just so enjoyable to watch their Dota 2. They are the strongest team in the upper division, together with Natus Vincere. 3 match winning streak for VirtusPro. Zero maps lost.  Compared to EXTREMUM who are on a 2 match losing streak. They were struggling to beat the Empire, and in the end they’ve lost it. However, they’ve taken a map off NaVi which is not an easy thing to do. Odds on VirtusPro winning the match are so low that it’s not worth betting on. However, -1.5 handicap is interesting here. Highly possible that VP can take it 2-0. 4th series in a row without a map lost. They are just so good.

beastcoast vs Thunder Predator: Over 2.5 @ MY BETSLIP

This is a clean 50-50 match at this point in time. Their matches are always back and forth. Thunder Predator takes series 1, beastcoast series 2 and so on. Well, at least that’s how we can describe their last year. Their last series went in Thunder Predator’s way, clean 2-0. However, beastcoast in this tournament looks unstoppable. 3 matches, 3 clean wins, 6-0 in maps. Really impressive. Thunder Predator lost to Infamous in round 1, but they’ve managed to pull back in the next 2 rounds. 2-0 vs SG and 2-1 vs Unknown did bring them back to fight for the 1st place. They are surely capable of taking down beastcoast. Go for handicap or over 2.5 maps here, those are the best options here.

[DOTA 2 Thursday] Today we are following Dota 2 action in SEA, European and North American regions. Teams like BOOM, Gambit, T1, VirtusPro and Quincy Crew are playing their matches today. It will be an exciting Dota DPC day. Here are my picks for Thursday.

BOOM vs T1: T1 ML, 1.63 @ MY BETSLIP

In the last year, their matches were always back and forth. Each time a different team won. However, T1 has a different squad now, and they are surely making their mark. However, BOOM is not a team that they should take lightly. Favoured Fnatic did lose to BOOM yesterday in a close 1-2 series. That was a surprise to many. BOOM are 2-1 now, while T1 are 1-1 with one match less. On paper, T1 are looking slightly stronger, but it's worrying that T1 lost to Fnatic with a devastating 0-2 a few days back. Still I do think this will be a very close match with 3 maps. T1 are my favourites here, by very little 5%.

Gambit vs Imperial Pro Gaming: Gambit ML, 2.05 @ MY BETSLIP

Both teams here are in very bad shape. It’s understandable for Imperial Pro Gaming, as their squad on the paper is the biggest mystery in this division. Gambit on the other side is disappointing a lot of people. With a really decent stack of players, they still weren’t able to do anything significant. Both teams have 2 losses out of 2 matches in this tournament, but IPG won 1 map more than Gambit. Gambit with a new lineup are on a 4 match losing streak, while IPG are on a 3 match winning streak in other tournaments vs the same caliber of teams like Gambit. Yes, Gambit are not favourites here at all, but I do believe in them somehow. This is a big gamble and there is a pretty high risk to lose the money, but value on Gambit is big. CIS scene is so unstable that this happening wouldn’t be a surprise.

Winstrike vs VP.Prodigy: Winstrike ML, 1.31 @ MY BETSLIP

Another CIS lower division series is here. Winstrike is the 1st placed team in the division right now. With 3 wins out of 3 matches they are looking like a real there here. They had 2 really strong wins vs Gambit and vs Imperial Pro Gaming. Those wins could be the sign where they will end at the end of the road. At the top, at least of this lower division. They finally have a decent mix of players, and their teamplay is nice. Youngsters from VP.Prodigy are still new to the professional scene and pressure for them is very high. Experience is not there and with 1 win and 2 losses they are currently holding 4th place. Not bad for them for the completely new squad, but very bad overall. I don’t think they can compete with Winstrike on this level currently. Winstrike should take this and odds on their win are quite good.

VirtusPro vs Unique: Virtus Pro -1.5, 1.17 @ MY BETSLIP

VirtusPro are one of two best squads in this upper division. They will fight for the 1st place for sure, together with NaVi, there is no doubt about that. Unique is the last team in the division. With 2 losses they are looking less and less competitive here. VirtusPro, on the other side, has 2 strong dominant wins vs Live to Win and Empire. Two 2-0 matches as they are looking good. I don’t think Unique can do anything in this series, they are just matches vs much better teams with better players on all positions. Easy win for VirtusPro.

SadBoys vs 5ManMidas: SadBoys -1.5, 1.30 @ MY BETSLIP

I don’t like those -1.5 handicaps so much. But that's the only logical choice here. 5ManMidas are the last team in the division with 3 straight losses. This mix of players is not working on this very unstable NA scene. Basically they are 5 amateurs playing for this new stack. There is no better situation on the other side either, but SadBoys have experience on their backs. The International winners, ppd and Fear are sailing with this ship. SadBoys will take this match for sure, but there is a higher risk in this handicap. If you want to get something out of this match, -1.5 handicap is the only logical choice.

Quincy Crew vs A-Team: Quincy Crew -1.5, 1.3 @ MY BETSLIP

There is almost the same situation here too. In this clash, David (A-Team) will fight Goliath (Quincy Crew). The story would be nice, but I highly doubt David will beat Goliath this time. Quincy Crew were the best and the strongest North American Dota 2 squad in the 2020. They opened this tournament with 2 dominant wins, and I do believe they will continue in that fashion. A-Team is just a very weird stack of players from all regions. The stack that won’t do anything in this division sadly. After 3 rounds, they are 0-3 without a map won. Compared to Quincy’s 2-0, and 4-0 in maps. Heaven and earth. Difference in quality is very likely to be seen in this match.

[DOTA 2 Wednesday bets] SEA region is again giving us an amazing series between Fnatic and BOOM, two title contenders. On the other side of the world, Team Secret is getting back in action. Can they be unbeaten after 3 rounds, is yet to be seen. Nigma is no weak opponent. Here are my picks and predictions for Wednesday.

Fnatic vs BOOM: Fnatic ML, 1.31 @ MY BETSLIP

Wednesday will be one of the most interesting days this week. Fnatic and BOOM are opening the match list today. Fnatic are one of the favourites to take the SEA Upper division, but they have really hard competition in BOOM, TNC Predator and Neon, the team that surprised us all. In this clash Fnatic should have a huge advantage. 2 wins, 4-0 in maps are their scores after 2 rounds. On the other side BOOM are 1-1. They’ve lost to Neon, a team that is holding the top of the rankings currently. Let’s just say that in the last 6 months Fnatic never beaten BOOM. 3 matches, 3 losses. With new Fnatic’s lineup they should be able to do it today as they are playing really good.

Team Secret vs Team Nigma: Team Secret ML @ 1.47

Finally, one of the biggest rivals will finally meet again. Puppey vs Kuroky. Two of the biggest captains in Europe will finally clash. I must say that Nigma is rising in form pretty fast. Since Kuroky returned to the active roster, they are crushing and they are playing really well. Only danger for them should be w33’s bad plays, as he tends to have those very often. If that happens again, Secret will just crush them. GH is one of the biggest Nigma’s strengths, as his Earth Spirit plays usually bring the advantage to them. Both teams managed to get 2 wins in the first 2 rounds of European DPC division. However, Secret lost just one map, Nigma two. This can go to all 3 maps potentially, but I favour Secret. Yes, they had a bad end of the year, but seems like they returned to their old form after the break. They look good, and as we know they were surely the best team in Europe in the last year.

No Bounty Hunter vs burjui: burjui +1.5, 2.29 @ MY BETSLIP

This match could be a bloodbath. Both squads are very low ranked and they are fighting for their lives. Even though NBH has 2 wins and 1 loss, they’ve managed to get that vs much lower teams. 2-0 vs Hippomaniacs and 2-1 vs Meta4Pro are decent results, but those teams are on their level or even lower. NBH are such big favourites here that betting on them is not worth it. Both teams are filled with unknown players and both teams are making a ton of mistakes in their plays. Their matches look like real pub matches. And I see an advantage for us here. Burjui will have a hard time, that’s true, but they can pull off a map for sure in some weird scenario. Their win vs Brame showed that.

Infamous vs SG Esports: Infamous ML, 1.48 @ MY BETSLIP

Both squads were directly invited to this upper division, and for now I would say they both disappointed. Both teams have 1 win and 1 loss, and this is a crucial match for them as they are direct competition for the top of the rankings. Infamous did surprise us all with their top notch 2-0 win vs Thunder Predator, one of the top favourites to take this tournament. On the other side, they were crushed by Team Unknown, which was pretty devastating. SG Esports did lose to Thunder Predator pretty bad and they’ve barely managed to pull off a win vs weak NoPing Esports, with a close 2-1 result. When I put everything on the pile, Infamous are a better squad right now and even if their performance can vary, they should be able to take a win against Brazilians.

[DOTA 2] Safe bets for today. Try to catch and find highest odds if you can.

Brame vs Creepwave: Creepwave ML

This should be a no brainer. Brame lost to Creepwave with a clean 0-2 just 6 days ago. And that should be an alarm for them. From their last 5 matches, they have only 2 wins. On the other side Creepwave managed to get 4 straight wins before losing to Imperial Pro Gaming with a close 1-2 for the end of their streak. Creepwave are holding 2nd place in the division currently and they are one of the nicest surprises in this division. Positive of course. In this state of Dota 2 and so early in the season, it can happen that Brame surprises us with a map, but overall Creepwave showed 2 levels higher Dota plays then their opponents.

High Coast Esports vs Alliance: Alliance ML

High Coast Esports as ex Chicken Fighters squad did disappoint for sure. Start of their journey is looking really tough. 3 matches, 3 losses even though they faced really strong opponents like Liquid and OG. Alliance is rising in form again, after a very bad end of the last season. With a NikoBaby caliber of player, they can run the wheel in this game for sure. They are better on all fields, and with their strong showings vs OG, Mudgolems (now Tundra Esports) and Nigma they are really looking to take another victory in this match. Potential of 2-0 is decent here, but I suggest you play safe here and go for a bigger unit bet.

Team Liquid vs Tundra Esports: Team Liquid ML

Liquid are currently holding 3rd place in division. With 2 wins and 1 loss they are really looking good. Their big advantage is that they are playing from a professional training facility that Team Liquid is providing. That is seen in their communication and team play for sure, and that is a big factor in games such as Dota 2. Tundra really surprised me in the last few days. Since Mudgolems became Tundra, they’ve played 2 matches. A close 1-2 loss vs OG and a clean 2-0 win over High Coast Esports made them really competitive. Skiter is playing really well on position 1 and I do believe they can do good in the future. It’s just a question if Liquid will allow them. Another safe bet for me, as Liquid ML is a good way to go. No shenanigans.

[DOTA 2] We are getting closer to the end of week 4 of the 2021 DPC season. Both the upper and lower divisions are really getting hot and we are here to follow all the matches daily. For the end of this working week, I’m bringing you CIS and South American DPC divisions. Here are my Friday picks and predictions.

Winstrike vs XactJlepbI: Winstrike +1.5

Yes, XactJlepbI are favourites here. But they showed a lot of weakness in their last matches. Even though they are 1-1 in the division currently, both of their games ended on the 3rd map. 1-2 vs B8 and 2-1 vs VP.Prodigy are some respectable results in this division, but Winstrike did better I think. 2-1 vs Gambit and 2-1 vs Imperial Pro Gaming are really amazing results vs really strong and decent squads. Winstrike are on top of the table currently with 2 straight wins. Yes, XactJlepbI are favourites, they are on a 3 match winning streak, but I see opportunity for Winstrike here, at least one map. That’s highly possible.

Virtus.Pro vs Live to Win: VirtusPro -1.5 / ML @ MY BETSLIP

Virtus.Pro is definitely one of the hottest squads in the region right now. Really amazing stack of CIS youngsters. And they are doing their work, can’t say otherwise. However, I always loved Live to Win. Since their recent creation, I thought they have a good caliber of players to be well matched vs stronger teams in the scene. Both VP and Live to Win have one 2-0 win in the upper division. I can say that Virtus.Pro had a stronger showing vs Empire, compared to LtW’s vs NoTechies. However, this can be a very difficult series to predict. VP are heavy favourites here and there is a high chance for VP 2-0-ing Live to Win. I do think that Live to Win will have their own chance and with the right drafts they can pull up the +1.5 handicap. Very tricky one. The safest would be to go with VP ML if you can find any decent odds at all on this one.

Team Empire vs Team Spirit: Team Spirit -1.5 @ MY BETSLIP

Funnily enough, Team Spirit never beat Empire in the 2020. They played 2 best of 1’s and they’ve lost both of them. However, both teams have new squads now, and the situation is kinda different now. Team Spirit is a new squad with new guys on the block. They are doing amazingly. By winning BTS Pro Series Season 4: Europe/CIS last December, they showed that they can be matches vs one of the best European squads. Sadly, I do think that the Empire can’t do anything here. They are just not on the level of Team Spirit right now, and they’ve struggled a lot before. 0-2 vs HellSmashers showed that. Spirit won vs EXTREMUM easily and that is the way they want to go in their next series.

Infamous vs Team Unknown: Infamous ML @ MY BETSLIP

This should be another easy pick, right? I do believe so. Even though Team Unknown came out of the qualifiers to this division and they had only 1 loss, I do believe this can potentially be too much for them. 2 matches in the upper division, 2 losses. On the other side Infamous had 1 match and they surprised us all. Clean 2-0 victory vs one of the favourites, Thunder Predators. Really impressive showings from them in their last series, and I do believe they are heavily favoured here. There can be good odds found on Infamous ML. Use that.

[DOTA 2] Another DPC week is coming to an end. Let us analyse Thursday’s matches in different DPC regions. The CIS region will be the most active today. Here are my picks and predictions for today’s matches.

PuckChamp vs B8: B8 1.5, 1.48 @ MY BETSLIP

Both teams opened their lower division participation with a win. B8 beat a very decent XactJlepbI squad, while PuckChamp beat Gambit, with a 2-0. Surprising win for PuckChamp. The CIS scene is still so unstable that in lower divisions and tier 2 of Dota anybody is capable of winning at any point in time. Today’s match between those two teams is no different. PuckChamp are favourites on most sportsbooks, but I believe Dendi’s B8 can pull off a map, and that would be my safest bet and suggestion here.

Evil Geniuses vs Black N Yellow: Evil Geniuses, 1.30 @ MY BETSLIP

Yes, EG should technically be the strongest team in the North American region, but they failed to be that in the last 6 months. Now, they are on their way to redemption. 2 matches in the upper division, 2 wins. But 2 maps were lost. I wonder if they can continue in that fashion, or will they finally show their real strength and dominance that they could deliver. Even though Black N Yellow has 3 straight wins in a row, those wins were insignificant to this match vs EG. Those series were vs very weak NA squads, and now they have a real deal in front themselves. EG beat 4Zoomers and SadBoys, 2 extremely strong teams in NA, and I don’t think beating Black N Yellow will be a hard task for them. It shouldn’t be. Well, it shouldn’t, right.

B8's current lineup is somewhat unstable and they really should just focus on creating a 4 support 1 games but their recent performances are what to be expected because they are being lead by a former TI winner. Its true that the CIS's scene is very unstable and not just that fun to watch.

EG should really be stepping up because of getting that DPC invite without even playing a game. Their game with SADBOYS was really worrying for them because it would cause a lot of flames in their name and its really good to see RTZ playing with Abed and ICE3x which are both stable players.

[DOTA 2] Another DPC week is coming to an end. Let us analyse Thursday’s matches in different DPC regions. The CIS region will be the most active today. Here are my picks and predictions for today’s matches.

PuckChamp vs B8: B8 1.5, 1.48 @ MY BETSLIP

Both teams opened their lower division participation with a win. B8 beat a very decent XactJlepbI squad, while PuckChamp beat Gambit, with a 2-0. Surprising win for PuckChamp. The CIS scene is still so unstable that in lower divisions and tier 2 of Dota anybody is capable of winning at any point in time. Today’s match between those two teams is no different. PuckChamp are favourites on most sportsbooks, but I believe Dendi’s B8 can pull off a map, and that would be my safest bet and suggestion here.

VP.Prodigy vs XactJlepbI: XactJlepbI, 1.40 @ MY BETSLIP

XactJlepbI are a clean favourites for me too, and odds are extremely good in that case. Anything above 1.50 is very good. With their roster, XactJlepbI is just not comparable to Prodigy. Even though Prodigy managed to take a map off HellRaisers in their 1st match, XactJlepbI showed much better performance vs B8, losing with a close 1-2. Decent performance brought them an okayish position in this match. Both squads are pretty new, made just for this DPC season. VP.Prodigy is without any experience and familiar faces on the scene. I highly doubt those youngsters can carry this series vs much bigger guns like Magical, Funn1k, NoFear and others from XactJlepbI.

EXTREMUM vs Team Unique: EXTREMUM, 1.87 @ MY BETSLIP

I was so disappointed in EXTREMUM yesterday. They were hyped as big favourites in their series vs PuckChamp in the Snow Sweet Snow tournament. However, they were destroyed 0-2, without any chance of knocking their opponents. I believe they have so much more strength to beat such teams, but they just didn’t show up. In their last 5 matches, Unique managed to win only 1 map, and lose 10. Their form is very bad, and if EXTREMUM raise their play a little bit compared to yesterday, they should be able to take this series pretty comfortably. Odds are amazing on ML bet.

Evil Geniuses vs Black N Yellow: Evil Geniuses, 1.30 @ MY BETSLIP

Yes, EG should technically be the strongest team in the North American region, but they failed to be that in the last 6 months. Now, they are on their way to redemption. 2 matches in the upper division, 2 wins. But 2 maps were lost. I wonder if they can continue in that fashion, or will they finally show their real strength and dominance that they could deliver. Even though Black N Yellow has 3 straight wins in a row, those wins were insignificant to this match vs EG. Those series were vs very weak NA squads, and now they have a real deal in front themselves. EG beat 4Zoomers and SadBoys, 2 extremely strong teams in NA, and I don’t think beating Black N Yellow will be a hard task for them. It shouldn’t be. Well, it shouldn’t, right.

[DOTA 2] My picks and bets for today:

High Coast Esports vs Tundra Esports:  Tundra Esports ML

This will be the clash of two new organizations that entered Dota 2 world just recently. High Coast Esports picked up Chicken Fighters, while Tundra picked up Mudgolems. Both teams went through the roster adjustments recently as both rosters are looking really interesting. Tundra with Skiter, 33 and Fata are leading the charge today to beat ex Chicken Fighters and ex NiP squad. Both teams started their EU Upper Division with two losses. High Coast lost to Liquid and OG. Actually they’ve managed to take a map off OG which was quite impressive. Tundra lost to Secret and OG. They had most probably the hardest schedule of all teams while facing both Secret and OG in the first 2 rounds. They did solid work vs Secret pulling out a map off them. However this time, it looks like both teams are kinda equal right now and I’m having a hard time picking the overall winner here. High Coast can take a map off for sure, but I do believe Tundra are just slightly better right now, so my pick is on them.

Team Unknown vs Thunder Predator:  Thunder Predator ML

Peru is the strongest nation in South America. And here, in this clash we will watch 2 Peruvian teams battling it out. Both teams started on a wrong foot, with losses. Unknown lost to beastcoast with a 0-2, while Thunder Predator surprisingly lost to Infamous with the same result. Team Unknown came to the Upper Division through the closed qualifiers with just one loss. However, this is another level of Dota now. Especially if they need to play vs Thunder Predator, Infamous or beastcoast, some of the best teams in the region. I think the safest bet here would be Thunder Predator ML, but Team Unknown +1.5 is a pretty good pick too in case odds are higher than 1.70. My pick here is Thunder Predator to win the match.

+ Extremum vs PuckChamp: Extremum ML

[DOTA 2] My picks and bets for today:

OG vs Tundra Esports: OG -1.5

OG vs Tundra analysis: We have another new organization here as mudgolems were signed by Tundra Esports on January 25th. Mudgolems did an amazing job in their 1st match in the league. They played a 70+ minute map vs Team Secret that they’ve managed to win. Even though they lost the series in the end, they showed they have a decent lineup going into the future. With an organization behind them, I do think they are even more serious. OG did beat High Coast Esports (ex Chicken Fighters) in the first round, with 2-1. I think OG has realized now that there are no weak teams in the European region anymore and they need to give their best to win even the less known squads. This is a must win for OG, quality and everything else is on their side. Big risk here for going on -1.5 handicap, but it’s worth it.

Team Liquid vs High Coast Esports: Team Liquid -1.5

Liquid vs HCE analysis: Chicken Fighters were signed by High Coast Esports on January 20t, and are now performing under this new brand and name. They showed amazing performance vs always strong OG. They’ve taken a map off them and showed they can battle even vs the strongest teams in the region. However, Liquid plays a different style of Dota and they are not so unstable as OG currently. Liquid are heavy favourites here on all sportsbooks, and I do think that they will take this series. It’s just a question if they will manage to get an impeccable win or if they will drop a map. I do think there are higher chances that Liquid takes it 2-0. They looked ok in their first match in the league, a 1-2 loss vs strong Nigma. Big risk here, but odds are quite attractive for -1.5 handicap.

Brame - Creepwave: Creepwave ML @ MY BETSLIP
Hippomaniacs - Nemiga: Nemiga ML @ MY BETSLIP
Imperial - XactJlepbl: XactJlepbl ML @ MY BETSLIP

[DOTA 2] My picks and bets for today:

Winstrike vs Gambit: Winstrike ML

NoUndying vs Extremum: Over 2.5

HIPPOMANIACS vs Creepwave: Creepwave ML

Just 3 days after their last series, those two teams are facing each other again. Since its creation, Creepwave is on a 100% win ratio. 5 matches, 5 wins in different competitions. 2-1 win vs Spider Pigz in a round 1 of EU lower division made them full of confidence going into this rematch vs Hippos. On the other side Hippomaniacs are on the 5 match losing streak in all competitions. They’ve lost 0-2 to Brame in the round 1. And I do believe this will be their second loss in a row in this competition. Creepwave are just surprising everyone with those amazing plays. Nobody expected that 5 players would work so well together, but obviously it’s working. It’s surely possible that they will be one of the underdogs in this division. Underdogs that can go all the way.

[DOTA 2] We are ending this working week with amazing matches from the DPC series. This time I’ll analyze 3 CIS matches and 1 South American match. Most of the teams are playing their first matches this season and the schedule is getting pretty crowded. Here are my picks and predictions for Friday.

XactJlepbI vs B8: XactJlepbI ML, 1.36 @ MY BETSLIP

Neither of these teams have played any series yet. XactJlepbI is a newly made squad for this DPC season and it’s featuring some very interesting CIS names. Magical, Funn1k, KingR and NoFear are all well known names to all Dota 2 fans. This team looks incredible on the paper and I do think they are one of the underdogs in this lower division. Underdogs that can go all the way. Dendi’s new squad is not looking good. After recruiting 3 Brazilians, they’ve already lost without German player 5up. It will be interesting to see who will fill his spot. 0-2 vs NoTechies and 0-2 vs Extremum doesn’t look good for B8. This must be a win for XactJlepbI, I highly doubt B8 will do anything in this season either.

Team Unique vs Natus Vincere: Natus Vincere -1.5, 1.25 @ MY BETSLIP

This should be an easy pick for all bettors. NaVi are huge favourites in this series. As one of the best CIS squads, NaVi are looking to conquer CIS upper division. Compared to Unique, they are just on another level. Higher quality players, better team play and understanding of the game makes them heavy favourites here. Last year, Unique couldn’t beat NaVi in any series, and I do believe this year will be the same, at least when speaking about current lineups. NaVi -1.5 handicap is a good way to go as there is a high chance for a NaVi 2-0 result.

NoTechies vs Live to Win: Live to Win ML, 1.72 @ MY BETSLIP

Actually both of those teams have decent lineups, but I am favouring Live to Win. I really like this team and since their formation in October, they are progressing slowly, but steadily. With an amazing carry players like fn and dream, they are surely looking to be one of the biggest underdogs of this division. They can definitely show good games and go far in this tournament, with a little bit of luck. NoTechies on the other side, since their creation they have 2 straight wins. 2-0 vs B8 and 2-0 vs Winstrike are decent results for the new squad. They look solid, but I do think Live to Win could be too strong for them potentially.

Infamous vs Thunder Predator: Thunder Predator ML, 1.56 @ MY BETSLIP

Thunder Predator is one of those squads that can take the 1st place in the South American Upper Division for sure. Very strong Peruvian squad that have some amazing results in that region. Their latest 1st place at BTS Pro Series Season 4: Americas made us all wonder how they could take that. Beating 4Zoomers in the grand finals made them really big favourites here. New patch is here, but still, they should go far in this competition. Interestingly enough, Predators played Infamous 3 times in the last 2 months or so, and all 3 times they’ve lost 0-2. Weird enough since Infamous didn’t take any bigger championship in 2020. This time, I do believe Predators are big favourites even though odds are not showing that. Average risk for a decent odds is a way to go.

[DOTA 2] ESL One Online with it’s CIS divisions will be the most active league on Thursday. We are following 2 lower division matches and 1 upper division clash between two solid teams. Here are my picks and predictions for those matches.

Winstrike vs Imperial Pro Gaming: Winstrike ML, 1.55 @ MY BETSLIP

This should be an easy match for Winstrike right? Well, why do we have so high odds on their win then. Well I think Imperial Pro Gaming has had a pretty nice series lately. They’ve taken a map off Spider Pigz and Brame. They’ve even faced Winstrike 3 months ago in the AOC Play playoffs, where they’ve lost with a close 1-2 result. Imperial has a completely unknown lineup, but a lineup that could surprise their opponents. On the other side Winstrike with player like DyrachYO looks like a decent tier 2 CIS squad. Yes, Winstrike has a lost vs NoPangolier in their last series, but I do think Imperial is out of their league a bit, and for those reasons I do think Winstrike has a high chance of taking this series. Amazing odds on ML bet.

VP.Prodigy vs HellRaisers: HellRaisers ML, 1.37 @ MY BETSLIP

Let me remind you, that this is not an old VP.Prodigy squad. They have a completely new squad competing as VirtusPro academy or Prodigy in this case. 5 unknown players put together are set to make another splash on the scene like their old Prodigy squad. However, in their first series they need to take down decent HellRaisers. HellRaisers look so strong on paper, however their performance is not showing that. Well, at least not until now. With Cooman, Resolut1on and Vanskor they look like a really strong roster. However, they still don’t have it. They don’t have chemistry and team play to be able to show that in the game. All in all, this should be another no brainer. Experienced HellRaiser players vs unknown youngsters of VP. If HellRaisers don’t take this series, they will disappoint a lot of people.

Extremum vs Team Spirit: EXTREMUM +1.5 @ 2.00 MY BETSLIP

I would go with Spirit here, but this is a new patch, new meta and teams are playing completely different. Spirit was strong at the end of the last year for sure. 3-0 vs Vikin.gg and 2-1 vs Live to Win were their last matches in the last year. However, it will be interesting to see if they can continue that performance in this new patch. This will be their first official series on the new patch and in this year. On the other side, Extremum already played 5 matches this year. They have 4 wins and 1 loss which is a pretty respectable score. In the worst case scenario they can give Team Spirit a hell of a game. Yes, Spirit are big favourites here, but in terms of this being their first match this year and on a new patch, I must give a chance to Extremum. They showed they can take maps and series from similar level teams. On the other side, odds on their handicap are amazing. Reward is big for minimized risk here on a +1.5 handicap.

[DOTA 2] Today we will follow 1 EU, 1 SA and 2 SEA matches. South American and SEA regions are just starting up and today we will watch first matches being played in those regions. Here are my picks and predictions for today.

Alliance vs Nigma: Nigma ML, 1.39 @ MY BETSLIP

This will be the only series in the EU’s upper division today. Alliance did never beat Team Nigma in the last months. And they’ve played a few times. After having a disastrous 2020, Team Nigma managed to get back in form at the end of the year. With Kuroky coming back to their lineup, they’ve started to play decently again, even if they were far away from the most dominant teams in those months. I believe both those teams have flaws. Alliance’s flaw is that NiKoBaby is the strongest player in the team and he is 2 levels above everyone else, which means he is the most common player to carry all the team on his back. Same on Nigma with Miracle, but a big plus for them is that they have one of the best captains in the world, Kuroky. W33 can be a problem sometimes with his weird and inconsistent plays, however overall they should be able to take Alliance down. They are a better team. But let’s be careful here, the new season just started, we will see in which form teams are.

Fnatic vs T1: Fnatic ML, 1.70

Fnatic had an almost perfect first part of 2020. Winning a few tournaments on the way, they failed to perform like that at the end of the year. Few lineup changes happened, and they were at the beginning. With players like Raven, Moon and DJ they should be able to be one of the most competitive teams in the SEA region, but competition is big. T1 went through lineup changes too, but they’ve managed to take Fnatic down in their last series 1 month ago. However, a new patch, new season can bring changes potentially. On paper, I do think Fnatic is a better team. We just need to see in what form players are. This can potentially be a very close series, but I’ve decided to go with Fnatic. 60-40 for them, if you ask me.

BOOM vs Neon: Over 2.5, 1.87 @ MY BETSLIP

Four 2nd places for BOOM in 2020. One 3rd place. Speaking about big online tournaments that was it. Not a bad performance overall. They’ve made only one change in their lineup, so the core of their roster is still the same. On the other side Neon impressed me with their plays in the qualifiers for this upper division. Neon are on a nice win streak and they played a lot more official matches in this new season compared to BOOM’s 0. That’s why I’ve decided to go with 3 maps here. It will be a very close series and even if BOOM are sportsbooks favourites, I do think Neon can take this too if they’ll get lucky. Over 2.5 is a really good bet in this case.

beastcoast vs Egoboys: beastcoast ML, 1.20 @ MY BETSLIP

This match is a no brainer for me. Thunder Predator, Infamous and beastcoast are surely the favourites for this region. Beastcoast being one of them is expected to go really far here. Truth to be told, beastcoast always had problems vs Egoboys in their past. In their last 2matches, Beastcoast didn’t win a single map. However, Egoboys didn’t show any mesmerizing performance in the qualifiers for this upper division. Nothing special at all and for that reason I do believe this should be a beastcoast win today.

Evil Geniuses vs 4Zommers: Evil Geniuses ML, 1.30 @ MY BETSLIP

This series became one of the strongest North American clashes. 4Zoomers were crushing Evil Geniuses in most of the 2020 in most of the matches. Evil Geniuses had a year for oblivion. However, with Abed and iceiceice on board now it will be interesting how they will perform. This is surely a scary lineup on the paper, the scariest on NA. But they need to turn those names into won matches. 4Zoomers and EG are top 3 NA Dota 2 teams for sure, together with Quincy Crew. Even though 4Zoomers had an amazing 2020, I don’t believe they can harm EG here. Of course, if EG takes this seriously it should be a convincing win for them. They are big favourites here coming into this new season. Evil Geniuses did nothing in the last 6 months of 2020, and I wonder after their lineup changes how their play will look. Obviously, they are one of the favourites on paper, just because of their amazing individuals in the squad.
It's been a while since I haven't watched EG play with a tournament. This is also the first time to see the team play with iceiceice as their new offlaner.

I also missed watching Abed play with them since he had played a lot in the SEA tournaments with a temporary roster. I want to say that this is a sure win for them but, just as the usual, if not enough practice, they can be beaten. But EG will always be the favorite as usual, artour mahboi!

[DOTA 2] The DPC season is officially starting today with the upper divisions in Europe and North America. We have 2 amazing series being played in Europe today and 1 in North America. Here are my picks and predictions for today’s matches.

Team Liquid vs Vikin.gg: Liquid ML, 1.48 @ MY BETSLIP

Liquid and Vikin.gg are opening European division with their clash. Interestingly enough, they played 3 series 2 months ago in 3 different tournaments. Liquid won only 1 time and Vikin.gg crushed Liquid in the Dota Summit EU/CIS grand finals, 3-1. Their most recent match was in the EPIC League where they played 3 map series which went to Vikin.gg favour again. I must say, Vikin.gg were in amazing form in the late 2020. 2020 was their most successful year with 2 big tournaments won in the 2nd part of the year. Liquid’s biggest achievement of the year was at the end of November when they’ve won ESL One Germany 2020. That was pretty recent, and I do believe they can continue their good form coming into the 2021. They are an organization with top tier bootcamps, coaches and all the stuff that can help them transition to the new season. Overall, they are a more quality team. This should be Liquid’s win, even if it could be a close one.

Mudgolems vs Team Secret: Team Secret -1.5, 1.46

Yes, Team Secret has a history of losing to Mudgolems. It was at ESL One Germany not a long time ago. They’ve even dropped a map to Mudgolems in the EPIC League. However, Team Secret ended 2020 on a bad note. Team Secret did fall in form in the last few months and they’ve didn’t managed to win anything since September. I’m eager to see how they will enter into the new season. Refreshed or on the same note as they’ve ended up last year. They are surely the biggest favourites to take the EU region for sure, no matter bad results lately. Mudgolems did make a few changes to their lineup, and that lineup did bring them to the Upper Division through the deciders tournament. Even though their new lineup is looking strong on paper, and is capable of surprising any team here, I still believe Team Secret is 3 levels above them. This is a new chance for Secret, time to restart and reset and start from scratch in the new season. 2-0 for Secret is the way to go here, but a very risky bet with not so big returns.

Evil Geniuses vs 4Zommers: Evil Geniuses ML, 1.30 @ MY BETSLIP

This series became one of the strongest North American clashes. 4Zoomers were crushing Evil Geniuses in most of the 2020 in most of the matches. Evil Geniuses had a year for oblivion. However, with Abed and iceiceice on board now it will be interesting how they will perform. This is surely a scary lineup on the paper, the scariest on NA.

They are big favourites here coming into this new season. Evil Geniuses did nothing in the last 6 months of 2020, and I wonder after their lineup changes how their play will look. Obviously, they are one of the favourites on paper, just because of their amazing individuals in the squad.
