Hey, that was CS:GO match. OG 2-1 fnatic, semifinals of IEM New York 2020 Europe.

[DOTA 2] My ESL One Germany picks for today:

Natus Vincere - Liquid: Natus Vincere, 1.74 @ MY BETSLIP
Ninjas in Pyjamas - Alliance: Ninjas in Pyjamas 1.5, 1.83 @ MY BETSLIP

It was a CSGO match dude. By the way, Fnatic CSGO roster is quite good and not trash like current Fnatic Dota 2 roster haha  

---

Im hoping for HR 2-0 Winstrike today, they lost 0-2 against Ensis Academy yesterday and also lost 0-2 in their last match against HR.

Hello.

Is this also for Dota 2? which tournament is this? I'm looking for Fnatic games. What I know is that they are still looking for two players to fill their roster.

Pos 3 and Pos 5.

I can't find a match between OG vs. Fnatic in liquipedia and those on going tournaments that are listed.

Bets today💰

3/3 Dota2

✅EXTREMUM - 5men: 5men -1.5
✅OG - ViKingg: OG
✅Secret - Yellow Submarine: Secret -1.5

VIP group 2/3

✅Vici Gaming vs EHOME: Over 2.5
❌PSG.LGD vs Team Aster: Team Aster +1.5
✅OG vs fnatic: OG ML

[DOTA 2] Saturday’s round 2 matches will feature some of the best teams in the tournament. Secret, OG and 5men will battle for the top placement in the rankings. Let’s analyze all 3 ESL One Germany 2020 matches that are going to take place on Saturday.

EXTREMUM - 5men: 5men -1.5, 1.78 @ MY BETSLIP
OG - ViKin.gg: OG, 1.29 @ MY BETSLIP
Secret - Yellow Submarine: Secret -1.5, 1.13 @ MY BETSLIP

This is a very risky bet, but without risk there is no profit. 5men lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas in the 1st match, while EXTREMUM was outplayed by Alliance with the same 0-2 result. Basically after 5men’s disappointing performance vs NiP, they could drop a map or two here too. But I don’t believe it. I think they showed too good matches and performance lately to afford that. Yes, they are unstable regarding consistency and performance, but they should be able to 2-0 EXTREMUM. EXTREMUM is one of the weakest teams in this competition. Maximum what they can do in this match is to take a map off 5men, and that would be the situation where 5men mess up things a bit.

This must be a match of the day right? Famous OG vs Vikin.gg, recent BTS Pro Series Season 3 champions. Should be a really interesting match with a lot of action. OG are big big favourites here, but we all know how their performance is inconsistent. They are able to beat any team in this tournament, but on the other side, they are able to lose to any team too. When we see their drafts and experimentations, both options are possible. However, I do think their full lineup should do the trick. MidOne and Topson are just too good for Vikin.gg. Vikin.gg beat HellRaisers with 2-1 in the round 1, while OG crushed down Winstrike, even though they were losing both maps at the beginning of the game. This should be OG’s match. Their last clash was 1 month ago and OG took that match with a close 2-1.

This is so funny. Betting on Team Secret is so hard these days. Match betting is impossible because of the lowest odds, and -1.5 handicap bets are riskier but they don’t give you too much back. Team Secret is just the most dominant Dota 2 squad in Europe right now. 7 tournaments won in a row, and there is barely a team that can take a map off Secret. Even though Yellow Submarine surprised Team Nigma in round 1, I don’t believe they can do the same vs Team Secret. Puppey, their captain won’t allow it. It’s hard to believe that in this match anything else can happen then Secret taking it 2-0. Low odds, high risk, very questionable if this match is worth a bet. But if you are going for it, Secret 2-0 is a way to go. Good luck.

[DOTA 2] Round 1 of ESL One Germany 2020 Group Stage is over. We saw a few surprises in the first matches, however until the end of the group stage, we still have 4 more rounds. Let’s analyze Friday matches and see which teams are the favourites.

mudgolems vs Cyber Legacy: Mudgolems, 1.36 @ MY BETSLIP

Mudgolems did really well in the recent BTS Pro Series Season 3 by finishing in 2nd place. However, this is a higher quality tournament. Teams are stronger and matches are more demanding. Their 1st match in the ESL One Germany didn’t go too well. They’ve lost 0-2 to Team Liquid. After I watched them in the BTS Pro Series and how they’ve played, I thought they have a chance to show something more in this tournament and vs stronger teams like Liquid. Sadly, Liquid crushed them really hard. Now they are facing a team where they should be really big favourites on the paper. And they are, but Cyber Legacy can be a very dangerous team. From the recent matches they have won over Natus Vincere and NiP. However, in this tournament they have one match, and that was a loss vs FlyToMoon (now Natus Vincere). Really one sided match. Mudgolems should take this match in the end, but Cyber Legacy has a chance for sure. They can pull off a map for sure. It’s really risky to bet on handicaps here, so mudgolems ML bet is the safest way to go.

Team Nigma vs Tempo Esports: Nigma -1.5, 1.50 @ MY BETSLIP

Thank you Nigma for those odds now. Their loss in the round 1 of this tournament got the odds to go higher on Nigma win, especially -1.5 handicap. One of the biggest, if not the biggest surprise in the round 1 was the Nigma’s loss vs Yellow Submarine. 2-0 for the CIS squad vs one of the best European teams surprised many of us. However, in the 1st map Nigma played with the 2 standins, on the 2nd map Nigma played with only 1 standin, but even that didn’t help them to take the map. Well, Yellow Submarine is a much better squad than Tempo Esports. They were crushed by Team Secret in the round 1, and I believe they are one of the weakest teams in this tournament. They will end in the last 3 positions in the rankings for sure. Hopefully Nigma can come back after 1st devastating loss. They are better on all fields, and with GH playing they should be able to take down Tempo. If we don’t see another surprise, that would be really bad for Nigma fans.

[DOTA 2] Thursday predictions and picks. OGA Dota Pit entered it’s 3rd season in China. With a $90,000 prize pool, surely it’s the hottest Chinese Dota 2 league currently. Group stage just ended, and Thursday is the day for Upper Bracket Round 2 matches. Let’s analyze them.

PSG.LGD - Vici: Vici 1.5, 1.59 @ MY BETSLIP
Aster - EHOME: Aster, 1.77 @ MY BETSLIP

PSG.LGD crushed their group stage matches. They’ve finished 1st in their group A with 3 wins out of 3 matches. 6-2 in maps. They dropped a map to Vici and RNG. The same Vici team that they are facing now. PSG.LGD is on a 7 match winning streak in all competitions. Their last 3 matches vs Vici went to their favour too. Two times 2-0, and one time 2-1. Really impressive performance and statistics vs Vici Gaming. After losing 3 in a row, Vici finally stabilized with 2 wins in a row. They’ve managed to take down SAG and RNG to finish 2nd in their group, right behind PSG.LGD. Their 2-9 win vs Magma in the upper bracket round 1 brought them here, in a rematch vs PSG.LGD. I think PSG.LGD are massive favourites here to take down this series. I just wonder if Vici will play well enough to be able to be a threat or to be able to take a map of LGD. Going for a PSG.LGD win here is the safest bet. Try to look for the 1.35 odds or higher, and you should have a nice bet.

We have another group stage rematch here. Team Aster did even better than PSG.LGD in the group stage. Their group B was really competitive. So competitive that strong Invictus Gaming ended in last place with 3 losses. Team Aster took that 1st place with 3 straight wins. 6 maps won, 1 lost vs EHOME. EHOME finished in 2nd place in the group B by losing only to Team Aster by a close 1-2 result. Both teams made some roster reshuffles lately, and we are watching two different teams now compared to a month-two ago. This will be a very close match, Aster are slight favourites, but EHOME can surprise here too. I would say it’s 60-40 in favour of Team Aster. Odds are showing that too. An interesting comparison - in the last 12 days, those two teams played two times. First time EHOME won with 2-1, second - most recent matches they’ve played Aster won with 2-1. That’s showing us how close those two teams are. On my edge, slight advantage goes to Team Aster. 3 maps highly possible here.

[CS:GO] My picks for today are:

G2 - Fnatic: G2, 2.17 @ MY BETSLIP
CHAOS - Mythic: CHAOS -1.5, 1.33 @ MY BETSLIP
Liquid - TeamOne: Liquid -1.5, 1.39 @ MY BETSLIP
FURIA - Triumph: FURIA -1.5, 1.45 @ MY BETSLIP

[DOTA 2] Day 2 of the ESL One Germany 2020 went as we expected. We saw victories from Team Liquid, Vikin.gg and OG. Day 3 is here, and we will watch 3 outsiders battling it out vs top 3 European / CIS teams. Here are my predictions and picks for day 3 matches.

EXTREMUM - Alliance: Alliance -1.5, 1.28 @ MY BETSLIP
Team Nigma - Yellow Submarine: Team Nigma -1.5, 1.33 @ MY BETSLIP
Cyber Legacy - Natus Vincere: Natus Vincere -1.5, 1.87 @ MY BETSLIP

Alliance are entering this tournament as OGA Dota PIT S3: Europe/CIS 3rd place winners. They had a good tournament overall, and now they are ready for new challenges. Extremum are decent tier 2 CIS Dota 2 squad, with CIS veterans like G aka god, but this time in a little different role. Alliance is a tier 1 European team, and they are fighting top EU teams constantly. Even though they have 2 losses in their last 2 matches (vs Secret and VP.Prodigy), they are big favourites here. Extremum should be outclassed here. They don’t have any results behind themselves and their performances are inconsistent, even vs tier 2 CIS squads. I’m expecting that Alliance will open this tournament with a 2-0 victory.

For a 4th tournament in a row, Team Nigma will play without their captain. rmN, their coach, will again replace KuroKy, their captain. Even with that lineup change, their recent tournaments were succes… kind of. 1st place at OGA Dota PIT Season 2, but they’ve had devastating performance in the recent OGA Dota PIT Season 3 where they’ve ended in 7-8th place. Before that they’ve had an amazing run in the very demanding and competitive OMEGA League: Europe Immortal Division as they’ve reached 3rd place there. Nigma is entering this tournament with just 2 wins out of their last 5 matches. However, all those matches were vs tier 1 teams. On the other side, Yellow Submarine is another Dota 2 squad coming from the CIS region. With just 2 known players as Miposhka and so bad, they are looking to make an upset here. I would give them more chances here in this tournament then to Extremum, their CIS brothers. Yellow Submarine is cruising slowly and achieving their victories in tier 2 CIS Dota. However, now they need to face a team that is 5 levels above them. It will be really hard for them, but surprises are possible, definitely. However, I’m giving more chances to Nigma. 2-0 is highly possible in this match. In favour of Nigma of course.

This is the match of the day for sure. CIS clash, between two decent teams. Let me remind you that FlyToMoon is the new Natus Vincere. They’ve signed the whole FTM roster last month and now they are representing black and yellow. This will surely give them some wind in their back. Cyber Legacy weren’t even supposed to be in this competition. Initially, Virtus.Pro was invited to play ESL One Germany. However, Virtus.Pro withdrew from the tournament on September 23rd and they were replaced by Cyber Legacy. This is a very dangerous match to bet on, especially handicaps. I think NaVi are favourites for sure, they will surely win this. They must, everything is on their side. V-Tune and Iceberg their position 1 and 2 players can easily carry games if they get a good draft for them. Another interesting fact is that in the last clash between those two teams FlyToMoon (now NaVi) took a victory with a clean 2-0. However, before that CL took a win over decent Ninjas in Pyjamas. In this one, I don’t think CL has a chance. Amazing odds on NaVi -1.5, however a little bit riskier. Definitely worth a try.

[DOTA 2] The top 16 Dota 2 teams in the Europe and CIS region are facing each other in the group stage of ESL One Germany. The $400,000 prize pool is surely something worth fighting for. We are tuning into the 2nd day of the group stage with analysis of the next three matches.

ViKin.gg - HellRaisers: ViKin.gg -1.5, 2.15 @ MY BETSLIP
Team Liquid - Mudgolems: Team Liquid, 1.48 @ MY BETSLIP
Winstrike Team - OG: OG -1.5, 1.26 @ MY BETSLIP

A nice match for the opening of the 2nd day. Vikin.gg are recent BTS Pro Series Season 3: Europe/CIS champions, and they are on a nice 4 match winning streak. On the other side, HellRaisers are entering this tournament with just 3 players. They are missing their position 4 and 5 players, and it will be interesting to see which players they will announce as their stand-ins for this tournament. As we are still waiting for this info, let me just say, Vikin.gg are massive favourites. Odds on Vikin.gg ML are so low, that I’ve decided to go with -1.5 handicap. It’s highly possible, since their results are really bad lately. Only 1 win (vs Team Empire) from the last 5 matches. Their inconsistent lineup is another problem for them, and those are the reasons why I don’t see them being a big threat to Vikin.gg today.

Team Liquid were struggling a lot in their recent tournament. In OGA Dota PIT S3: Europe/CIS they finished in a low 5-6th place. Disappointing performance from them. And now they will have a real mountain to climb. Mudgolems are recent BTS Pro Series Season 3: Europe/CIS 2nd place winners. They had 13 wins in a row before they fell to Vikin.gg in the grand finals. They are currently for sure the biggest underdog team in Europe, in this tournament as well. Mudgolems are the hottest new squad in the region right now, and they will surely take valuable wins and points from some more experienced and bigger teams. However, I do think quality is on Liquid’s side. Hopefully they’ve prepared well for this tournament. Mudgolems can only surprise them. It’s possible, yes, but I think there is a higher possibility that Liquid will win this game. 3 maps are possible here.

OG announced yesterday that they will be playing this tournament with a full roster. Let me just say, thank you OG. After their disappointing performance in OGA Dota PIT S3: Europe/CIS where they played with Topson and with slightly changed positions, they are coming back now, in a nice fashion. OG is one of the strongest teams in the Europe and world most probably, when they play seriously. It’s known that teams like OG aim for the biggest tournaments, and they use smaller tier 2 tournaments to practice strats and to practice vs other teams. Money is not a priority for them, so it will be interesting to see if they will take this tournament seriously. I would say yes, ESL One is amongst the biggest Dota 2 tournaments in the world, and even if this is an online version of the tournament now, the $400,000 prize pool is something worth fighting for. Winstrike is good tier 2 CIS squad, but currently nothing more. OG should outclass them on every field in the draft / game. I’m predicting 2-0 for OG here. Everything else would be a big surprise for me.

[DOTA 2] ESL One Hamburg is starting up today. Here are my picks for Day 1:

5men - Ninjas in Pyjamas: Over 2.5, 2.01 @ MY BETSLIP

5men vs NiP should be really close matchup. Even tho 5men are sportsbooks favourites, I expect to watch all 3 maps. For me this is 50-50 match after a very short Dota 2 pause for those two teams. 3 maps here are highly possible.

Other match of the day is Secret vs Tempo. This should be Secret -1.5, if you find good odds. Odds are extremely low, as Secret are 100% favourites. Odds on Secret 2-0 are from 1.10-1.20 max. You decide if you want to bet on such low odds or no.

Dota 2 ESL One Germany 2020 group stage is starting up on Monday.

I'll be following that tournament, and place a bets on those matches.

Stay tuned. Here are more infos: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/ESL_One/Germany/2020

There are many new teams this year, along with the usual familiar faces. A very interesting world championship is expected.
I think in group C and group A we will see epic clashes, between
* G2 Esport - Team Liquid
* Fnatic - Team SoloMid

Mention to Unicorn of Love most funny team

Nice old broodwar. I miss it quite a bit. Used to play that game 

[CS:GO] My picks for ESL Pro League today:

Astralis - Heroic: Astralis ML, 1.31 @ MY BETSLIP
mousesports - ENCE: mousesports, 1.67 @ MY BETSLIP

Both matches are BO3, and I feel like book favourites today will prevail. Astralis + mouz.

Broodwar Afreeca Star League Season 10 round of 16 groups:



The betting market isn't up yet at any bookie I use.  But should be available before the event starts on October 6.

[CS:GO] For all ESEA enthusiasts, here are my picks for EU matches today:

Nordavind - Secret: Secret, 1.38 @ MY BETSLIP
Nemiga - GamerLegion: Nemiga, 1.40 @ MY BETSLIP
ALTERNATE aTTaX - Sprout: Sprout, 1.33 @ MY BETSLIP
Singularity - Endpoint: Endpoint, 1.35 @ MY BETSLIP
GamerLegion - AVEZ: AVEZ, 1.69 @ MY BETSLIP
FATE - Galaxy Racer: Galaxy Racer, 1.67 @ MY BETSLIP
SKADE - Sprout: Sprout, 1.31 @ MY BETSLIP
HellRaisers - forZe: forZe, 1.39 @ MY BETSLIP
Nordavind - Singularity: Nordavind, 1.55 @ MY BETSLIP

Be careful, all matches are BO1, go low. I feel like most of the favourites will celebrate today.

[DOTA 2] Today, we will follow 2 matches from the EU/CIS playoffs - upper bracket finals and lower bracket round 3. Let’s try to see who has more chances to advance on.

Ninjas in Pyjamas - Mudgolems: Ninjas in Pyjamas, 2.44 @ MY BETSLIP
Khan - ViKin.gg: ViKin.gg -1.5, 1.99 @ MY BETSLIP

What a match we have here. Who would have thought that mudgolems would play in the upper bracket finals of this event. What is even more impressive, mudgolems reached this stage without a loss. On the way here, they have only lost 2 maps. They topped the group with an amazing 6 wins and 2 draws. 14 maps won, only 2 maps lost. Interestingly enough, they’ve managed to drop maps to two CIS squads, HellRaisers and Khan. They have 3 clean wins vs I would say some of the strongest teams in this competition, Vikin.gg, NiP and 5men. We have seen a really impressive performance by this young stack of players led by German veteran Fata. What is important here for us is that NiP lost to mudgolems with 2-0 in the group stage. They finished the group stage in 3rd place with 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. Decent performance, but they can and they must do better. They’ve had an impressive match vs Vikin.gg in round 1 of playoffs, where they’ve beaten a very strong Vikin.gg with 2-0. On the other side, mudgolems achieved their hard 2-1 victory over Khan. Yes, mudgolems are favourites here due to their recent performances in this tournament and due to the fact that they’ve already beat NiP once. However, we are in the playoffs now, stakes are higher, and for me NiP seems like a much serious and experienced team. When they are on their highest performance peak, they can be a real danger to any team in Europe (well, except Team Secret who are on another level). I think this match will be much closer then the odds are showing us. 3 maps are highly possible here, but I do think NiP has a decent chance here to take revenge on mudgolems and advance to the grand finals.

Khan showed us that they are a really decent CIS Dota 2 squad. Their performance in the group stage didn’t go unnoticed. 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses brought them to 4th place in the group and brought them a place in the upper bracket of this event. Seems like Khan has consistently good performances vs CIS squads more than vs European squads. They have very weak play and gamesense vs EU squads like NiP, Vikin.gg, and 5men. They’ve managed to lose against Vikin.gg and 5men with straight 0-2, while they did show good map 1 vs NiP. Even though Vikin.gg are on a slight performance downfall, they’ve managed to finish 2nd in the group stage right after mudgolems. 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss brought them a winners bracket and a match vs 5men. They’ve managed to overcome 5men with ease. After their 4 straight losses in all Dota competitions, they’ve managed to bounce back with yesterday’s impressive win over 5men. Yes, Khan is very good squad against CIS teams, but they play worse vs European squads, statistically. Vikin.gg already beat them easily in the group stage, and I think they are way too experienced to lose that match. I’m expecting another 2-0 for Vikin.gg here.

[CS:GO] Here are few of my fun picks for today:

Wygers - ZEROZONE: ZEROZONE 1.5, 1.36 @ MY BETSLIP
KPI - eXploit: eXploit 1.5, 1.41 @ MY BETSLIP
Rugratz - Triumph: Rugratz 1.5, 2.50 @ MY BETSLIP
