[DOTA 2] We are coming to the last 3 days of the event. Friday is the day for another 2 amazing matches. Upper bracket finals and lower bracket round 3 match. 4 teams left. Let’s see who has the more chance to make it to the grand finals.

Team Secret - Team Nigma: Team Nigma 1.5, 1.95 @ MY BETSLIP
Alliance - VP.Prodigy: Alliance ML, 1.85 @ MY BETSLIP

MATCH: TEAM SECRET VS TEAM NIGMA
Date: Friday, June 5th @ 16:00 CEST

Let’s be honest here. Team Secret is showing the best performance in this tournament, and I do think they will end up in the grand finals and eventually win the whole event. The best two teams from group A are facing each other now. Both Secret and Nigma had an almost perfect group stage run. Team Secret already beat Nigma in the group stage with 2-0. And that was the only loss that Nigma has from the groups. Secret lost to Alliance with 1-2 to drop to the lower bracket, and now they need to fight for their lives. This is a do or die for both teams, the loser is going home, and will face VP.Prodigy / Alliance in the losers bracket finals. In their last match Secret won against FlyToMoon 2-0, while Nigma demolished Liquid with 2-0. I do think that Nigma is in the top 2 teams that are playing the best Dota in this tournament, however best Dota doesn’t mean a win always. If you can find a decent ML odds on Team Secret (1.30 maybe), go with that, that’s the safest bet. Again, handicap -1.5 on Team Secret has lower odds then Nigma +1.5, and again I’m struggling what to pick. But I do think eventually someone can take a map off Secret or even beat them like Alliance, and Nigma showed really cool plays. Even if they lost to them in the group stage without taking a map, I do think they can take a map here. Of course it’s a big gamble.

MATCH: ALLIANCE VS VP.PRODIGY
Date: Friday, June 5th @ 19:00 CEST

Alliance seems like in great shape recently or at least in this tournament. Even though they had a worse score then VP.Prodigy in the group stage, they are doing amazingly in the playoffs, and they took down the best team in Europe, Team Secret. That must be a big plus for them. VP.Prodigy however did beat Nigma, so that kinda evens up the score. Their match history is not long as they had 2 official matches. First match went to VP.Prodigy’s side, while Alliance beat VP.Prodigy in their most recent match, 5 days ago. This is funny, as this is another match where we will see 1st and 2nd ranked teams from the same group face each other in the playoffs of the same tournament. Alliance is on the 6 match win streak, while VP.Prodigy lost only to Alliance recently. Their last loss (not including Alliance) was on May 15th vs their main squad. They are doing amazingly too. I do think this will be another close match, maybe 3 map match. I’m giving a slight advantage to Alliance, since they’ve beat VP.Prodigy with 2-0 result five days ago in the same tournament. They surely can do it again. Odds are amazing on Alliance ML.

GL all! Hope you can find good odds!

Some Dota games for today


15:00 Team Secret vs Nigma

18:00 Alliance vs VP.Prodigy

It's most likely going to be Sumail that gets removed from the roster if Ana comes back earlier than expected. I remember Sumail tried the offlane role before but it didn't worked out with his previous team.

I agree, for now it's very unlikely for two TI's to happen in the same year unless the schedule for the qualifying phase is changed and the amount of majors get reduced.

Problem is just that OG doesn't care for other tournaments then The International. Just like last season, they were doing really bad, but they've managed to gather enough DPC points to qualify for The International. That's what matters for them, and they have won it. They are showing up when matters. Plus their players are out of form, since there are not "real" LAN events or anything going on, just small online tournaments with not big prize pools. They are full of money, they don't need 50.000$ tournament win. 

They will show up for sure when it will be needed. 

It's impossible that in 2021 we will see 2 The International events. The International is like Dota 2 World Championship. Do you see 2 World championships in football or any other sport?  Plus there is no time for that since season is very stacked with tournaments and LANs and new DPC format was just announced, so I 100% sure 2 TI's wont happen.

Ana might go back to OG unexpectedly but who's the player that he will replace? MidOne and Sumail will go offlane or it's Sumail and Ana will go back as their safe lane. We don't know but this what Ana did for two consecutive TIs. It was never expected by us that he will appear just only for TI.

It's a decent pay check for him and part time whenever the TI goes near. There are rumors that there might be a two TI for 2021, who knows but next year is going to be full of surprises right?  

[DOTA 2] Day 2 of the ESL One Birmingham 2020 – Online: Europe & CIS playoffs was really exciting. We watched all 3 maps in both series and we saw one big surprise. Let’s see what awaits us on Thursday.

Team Secret - FlyToMoon: FlyToMoon 1.5, 2.36 @ MY BETSLIP
Team Nigma - Team Liquid: Team Nigma, 1.78 @ MY BETSLIP

MATCH: TEAM SECRET VS FLYTOMOON
Date: Thursday, June 4th @ 16:00 CEST

Team Secret had a pretty hard match on Wednesday in the upper bracket round 1 vs Alliance. Team Secret started perfectly with a quick 20 minute map 1 win over Alliance, but in the next two maps they struggled so hard, and Alliance managed to bring those maps in their favour. Shocking win for Alliance over Team Secret. I guess very few people believed that Alliance could win against Team Secret, the strongest and most dominant team in Europe right now. But that’s online Dota. FlyToMoon secured their opportunity to battle vs Team Secret with a 2-0 win over Vikin.gg in the lower bracket round 1. FlyToMoon is another team that is doing really good as they are on the 5 match win streak. In their last 5 matches they didn’t lose a single map, as they have a 10-0 score in maps. However, this is most probably one of the harder challenges that they could have right now. Team Secret showed that they are vulnerable in yesterday’s match vs Alliance and their loss vs Team Unique a few days back. FlyToMoon has all the tools to take Secret down in this situation. They need to learn from their previous matches and take Secret by surprise. Even though Team Secret are big favourites here and will probably take the match in the end, I would give a chance to FlyToMoon. Team Secret is obviously shaken, and if Alliance took 2 maps off them, FlyToMoon can make a surprise too. Odds on FlyToMoon handicap are sick, and I do believe they can take a map off strong Secret. After watching Team Secret yesterday vs Alliance, -1.5 on Secret is just too risky compared to the small return it can bring.

MATCH: TEAM LIQUID VS TEAM NIGMA
Date: Thursday, June 4th @ 19:00 CEST

Nigma showed amazing performance in the group stage. With 6 wins and 1 loss they’ve finished in 2nd place in the group, right behind Team Secret. Sadly, they didn’t manage to surprise VP.Prodigy in upper bracket round 1. Nigma was an underdog in that match, and they were even on the first 2 maps vs VP.Prodigy. However, even though they started good on map 3, their lineup was not strong enough for VP.Prodigy’s late game. They have dropped to the lower bracket now, where they need to face Team Liquid. Let’s just remind ourselves that Liquid and Nigma faced each other in the group stage of this tournament. Nigma took that match with 2-1 result. I would give Nigma a slight edge here. Liquid is pretty strong too right now, but I think Nigma is showing a little bit more in this tournament. They are favourites in my head in this match too and I believe they should take it. Team Nigma ML should be a good bet here with decent odds. Hopefully, Nigma’s today loss vs VP.Prodigy won’t affect them on Thursday vs their deciding match. Let’s keep in mind, this is a lower bracket. Loser is eliminated and the winner will face the winner of Secret / FTM in the next round of the lower bracket. This is Nigma’s chance to prove that their previous tournament runs are forgotten. They can win this on their experience and if w33 won’t make so many mistakes like in their match vs VP.Prodigy.

Very risky bets and tournament! Same like yesterday's, Secret 1.10 odds and loosing.

Unfortunately, Team Secret just lost the 2nd game. Nikobaby's morphling late game was too strong for them and that ethereal blade + nature prophet's sprout was countering Matumbaman's Troll so hard.

While the other cores which are Death Prophet and Mars late game don't have enough damage to kill the enemies.

RIP Team Secret -1.5  

Personally, I just love TI more than any major. The intensity of the matches during TI is beyond extreme. It is only in TI where you can see a multi-million dollar echo slam or a multi-million dollar dream coil. Jaw-dropping is the word!

Moreover, I guess the players and teams are at their best of shape during TI more than in any other tournament. They are at their best of plays as well. Not to mention the aegis, the huge prize pool, and some personal grudges that make every game worth winning.

Betting during TI couldn't be more exciting.

Yeahh, but maybe if it's true that when The International 10 starts, Ana will be ready to play with OG and make the tournament become more interesting.
Especially if there will be more shocking things like IO carry in the last TI  .

I just hope TI 10 will be more interesting than Majors and these recent online tournaments.

Sadly, you will need to wait until 2021, since Dota 2 The International 10 is moved to 2021 due to COVID-19.  

Do you mean Dota 2 The International 10?

If so, did you watch The International 9 before? Even Virtus Pro and Team Secret who are the top 2 teams in majors were having a hard time in that tournament. And there were some underdog teams that performed very well against the favored teams.

So I'm not really interested in betting on that tournament at the start. So unpredictable but that's why it's a very interesting tournament.

[DOTA 2] On the day 1 of the ESL One Birmingham 2020 – Online: Europe & CIS playoffs, everything went as expected. Two favourites won first matches in the lower bracket. Today we have scheduled two upper bracket matches and this time it will be much more interesting. Let’s analyse upcoming upper bracket round 1 matches.

Team Secret - Alliance: Team Secret -1.5, 1.46 @ MY BETSLIP
VP.Prodigy - Team Nigma: Team Nigma ML, 2.08 @ MY BETSLIP

MATCH: TEAM SECRET VS ALLIANCE
Date: Wednesday, June 3rd @ 16:00 CEST

This is a hard one. In the last month those two teams played each other 3 times. Team Secret won all 3 times with the 6-1 map score in total. Team Secret had an impressive run in their group A, and with 6 wins and 1 loss, they have taken 1st place for the playoffs. Interestingly enough, they have won all their matches with 2-0, except vs their match vs Team Unique which they have lost with 0-2. Since that loss, they had another impressive run over with 4 2-0 wins in a row. One of them was vs Nigma, a team who really surprised us in the group stage with their amazing performance. Alliance is the 2nd placed team from the group B. They have finished their group stage run with 5 wins and 2 losses, one vs Cyber League and another one vs NiP. Let’s just say Alliance is in pretty good form as they have straight 5 wins from their last 5 matches with 10-1 map win-loss ratio. Impressive. Is it enough to beat Team Secret? No, it isn’t. I’m almost certainly sure that Team Secret will win this match. However, Alliance showed in their recent performances that they can take matches from the best teams. Here, I’m more aiming for Team Secret winning 2-0, then Alliance taking a map off Team Secret. I think Puppey won’t let it happen, and he will aim again for another 2-0. Very risky handicap bet, go small.

MATCH: VP.PRODIGY VS TEAM NIGMA
Date: Wednesday, June 3rd @ 19:00 CEST

Another epic match. VP.Prodigy and Nigma had similar performances in their groups. Both teams ended their group stage with 6 wins and 1 loss. Nigma lost to Team Secret, while VP.Prodigy unexpectedly lost to Alliance with clean 0-2. Until this tournament, Team Nigma looked lost and they didn’t adjust to the patch properly. Nothing worked for them, as they were eliminated early in every tournament they’ve played. VP.Prodigy is taking EU/CIS scene lately with their amazing plays and wins. However, this is the real test for them now. Both teams have 4 wins and 1 loss from their last 5 matches. When I’m comparing their tournament performance it was kinda even, on the same level. Those two teams never faced each other until now. Nigma finally showed that they can play good Dota, and Miracle- showed why he is one of the best position 1 players in Europe. I love surprises, and I can see a surprise here too. Even tho, VP.Prodigy is a big favourite here due to their recent performances in EU tournaments, I do believe Team Nigma can surprise here VP.Prodigy too and take this match. They surely will be a different kind of team in the playoffs. Now it gets serious. VP.Prodigy has a slight advantage here, but I’m going for Team Nigma. I believed in the group stage they’ve shown everything they need to surprise a strong team like VP.Prodigy. Let’s see. Odds on Nigma are amazing.

GL! Very risky bets today, don't overreact!

i'm still waiting for international to be held... somehow only on it i win with my bets

I did these too and also added Unique to this and that made a 3 out of 3, backed it as a treble and 3 doubles just in case. All good about trebled my stakes.

I don't know CSGO well enough or the wrong team win too often, killing my accumulators. Fun to watch though. Dota seems a bit more stable.

#CSGO 3/4 today. Pretty good day.

❌ Cloud9 - Triumph: Cloud9
✅ Dignitas - MAD Lions: MAD Lions
✅ VP - MAD Lions: MAD Lions
✅ HellRaisers - Hard Legion: HellRaisers 1.5

2/2 #dota2 today. Solid return. Especially if you made a parlay bet.

We started on June 2nd.

[DOTA 2] And here we go. It’s time for the ESL One Birmingham EU/CIS playoffs. After the group stage, we have the best 8 teams that will face off in the double elimination bracket. Day 1 of the playoffs will start with the 2 lower bracket matches.

ViKin.gg - FlyToMoon: flytomoon, 1.54 @ MY BETSLIP
HellRaisers - Team Liquid: Team Liquid, 1.25 @ MY BETSLIP

MATCH: VIKIN.GG VS FLYTOMOON

Date: Monday, June 2nd @ 16:00 CEST

Good Vikin.gg’s group stage performance was expected, as well as their top 4 group placement. Basically they’ve won almost all matches they should’ve won. Well except their match vs Unique, which they surprisingly lost with 1-2. They have ended their group stage run in 3rd place of group A with 4 wins and 3 losses. Their losses vs Nigma and Secret were expected, but their loss against Unique really surprised us, even if it was in the last round which didn’t matter too much for them. Vikin.gg are playing really good but from the last 5 matches played they have only 2 wins. On the other hand FlyToMoon is one of my favourites teams in the competition for sure. Sometimes they are playing so good, that they are impressing us all, but sometimes they’ve got lost in their drafts and mid to late game. However, they are showing results, and that is all that matters for them. They’ve ended their group B run on 4th place with 4 wins and 3 losses, same as Vikin.gg. They had some nice wins vs NiP and OG, and they took a map off VP.Prodigy which is really a hard thing to do lately. Overall their performance was decent, and they are performing good in all tournaments they are playing. However, they still need that 1 step to improve and to be able to fight the best teams. Overall in this match I do think FlyToMoon are slight favourites, and this match will be much closer than the odds are suggesting. However, my brain and heart is telling me to go with FlyToMoon. I think they have a 60% chance to take a win from Vikin.gg and knock them out. It will be a high pressure match for sure as the loser is going home and is knocked out of the tournament.

MATCH: HELLRAISERS VS TEAM LIQUID

Date: Monday, June 2nd @ 19:00 CEST

I’m not even sure how HellRaisers ended up top 4 in the first place. For example, NiP has a much better map win-loss ratio, and they have a positive 2-0 result vs HellRaisers themselves. And if you ask me, NiP should be in the playoffs now instead of HellRaisers, as they’ve deserved it more. I don’t know who created those ESL rules, but they have no sense at all. This match is the battle of 3rd place group B team HellRaisers vs 4th place group A Team Liquid. Both teams ended up their group stage run with 4 wins and 3 losses. Only CIS team that’ve managed to take a map off Team Liquid in the group stage was Natus Vincere, but in the end NaVi lost with 1-2. Liquid lost to Nigma, Secret and Vikin.gg, which means they can be beaten for sure, but I’m not sure if HellRaisers can beat them. Most probably not. Most impressive results for HellRaisers were 2-0 vs FlyToMoon and 2-1 win vs OG (which ended group stage with disappointing 1-6 win-loss ratio). I think that from the HellRaisers match vs NiP we can learn a lot. HR lost 0-2, and Team Liquid kinda reminds me on NiP sometimes. Liquid are big big favourites here, and if all drafts and early game goes by their plan, they will take this series with 2-0. Team Liquid ML win bet is the safest way to go if you can find the good odds. No way HellRaisers can win that match, maybe they can surprise us with a map, but that’s the maximum we will see from them.

Low shitty odds today, but safe bets today. You can parlay those 2 matches even. GL all!

It is in a multi, but it was a 2 way bet win or lose. So thanks for explaining that.

I just need FlyToMoon to have won to complete 2 or them.

Vitality-Ence ended as a draw. This tournament doesn't have extra time in group stages. You probably made a bet on winner market so bet is void (push). Meaning it is counted as odds 1.0 or in other words as you didn't even played it. You should get your stake bet if it was single bet or just paid the rest of the accumulator like you didn't play it in case you got other game correct.

Good for you, I made that bet as 1x2 without realizing draw is possible outcome and lost the nice multi ticket.
