I am quite happy with my choice for the draw in the Brighton - Manchester United game as that could have gone differently for obvious reasons, but it was the decider against renato.
In hindsight my pick for the Barcelona - Atletico game was a bit stupid. I thought that Barcelona is going to win, which they did, but 3 goals in that game wasn't smart to assume. It really isn't fun to see Barcelona play these days and against Atletico it is almost a nightmare. Sure it's great if teams have a good defense, but I remember the days when it was so much fun to watch because the game went back and forth as Barcelona constantly pushed the opponent. That has changed drastically.
Good luck for the cup everyone!

@arallmuus looks like you got the better of me, even if Brighton wins we have the same picks for Barca, so you win this already now that both DOTA favourites are in the finals. Don't think I'll need to worry about relegation as a point should be enough to secure myself, but I really needed this win, well done you!
Yeah you could have gotten top 4 by now if you ended up winning against me but hey let me take that 3 points so I can totally avoid relegation. At this rate it still doesnt feel that Im safe at this point as the last two games could be the turning point for some players
-snip
I was expecting you could do me a great favor against arallmuus, but it turns out that I was mistaken to even pick you to win in the first place.
Good luckI was abit lucky though but hey it looks like you should be getting 10th spot because @LFC_bitcoin lost against @Slissy. So that would put both of us respectively 9th and 10th which is abit safe from the relegation. iirc only bottom 2 players got relegated wasnt it?
April 23, 2023, 01:49:26 PM
Hey! Nice I won the little side special (I know, results not final, but feels good nevertheless) because those kits!!

@slaman you need 2 more wins and that may not be enough, ready to do a Watford/Norwich?

Good luckSlaman you gave me a challenging game overall, but I needed that one to remain relevant on this thread
, I'm still behind with -5 goals, which is not looking good. Being a good season so far for me in other pools except for BSFL

Terrible season for me all around the pools and BSFL, I really need to reconsider the way I do things, huh!

I was finally able to tie my rival after the Dota question both teams go to the final, 4-4 for now there are 2 questions left to define this round
Another point goes in the drain, honestly I didnt expect this outcome but good to see favourites living up to their name 
Currently watching the FA cup tie, this match is boring for a semi final ,haven't seen any action to be excited about besides the referee being engaged one too many times to a make a decision ..If this match doesnt draw a red card it will be a shocker.
And looking at the spreadsheet looks like this round might have several draws from what i have seen, but hope to see some winners.

I didn't understand the DOTA official site (ESL), it explains the format, but the draws and matches didn't explain properly. Like There is lower bracket and Upper bracket playoff, double elimination, I didn't understand what it means.
Just it seems Google schedule shows Gaimin lost but must meet Shopify again and try win to get to the final right?
Is there a better site to explain everything rather than trying to guess?
Best site for DOTA things, at least for me:Just it seems Google schedule shows Gaimin lost but must meet Shopify again and try win to get to the final right?

Team Liquid is in final already so all of you with 0, you got it wrong. GG must win against Shopify in a match that starts in 45 minutes to get to the final. In the old patch I would be sure they would make it, in this new one it is 50:50.

Is there any new patch? And if there is then what are the chances for Gladiators? I'm waiting for answers from Dota experts curiously. 
Well actually the current games are using new patch which is totally different from all the previous patches so yeah both teams are on equal chance to get through the lower bracket final but given how both teams played today, I'd say GG is better though compared to SR
This might be biased opinion as I want GG to get to the final as well to secure my next point
Can't actually do it while I am in pubs watching football
Made cryptofrka watch last map of Liquid - GG and he complained whole evening afterwards. April 22, 2023, 06:38:01 PM
Are you guys staying in England for few days or you are already returning home?
This match was amazing to watch online and I can only imagine how it was in stadium, must be unique experience.
Congrats to all winners for bonus round

Yep, we're here until Monday, having a blast with Steve.
I've watched a lot of football live, even games of high quality, but this game was among the best I've seen. The best for sure if I include the overall experience.
____________________________
We did put the winners for the bonus round into the spreadsheet. They are (from 1st to 5th):
strongkored
Ulven
hakan2217
buwaytress
ralle14
We'd like to point out that nothing is official so far. We'll do the BSFL results on Sunday as well, but until Tuesday or Wednesday everything we do is still unofficial.
We're working in short bursts, on small laptop monitors and with some booze in us so if any mistakes happen, they will be rectified latest by Wednesday.
Therefore it's especially important that during this week you help us by checking your results by yourselves as well and reporting any issues you might find.
We apologize in advance if some mistakes do happen, we're doing the best we can considering the circumstances

One of the questions who will determine the result of the round between me and LTU_btc is related to Dota. If I'm not wrong Team Liquid have made it to the finale. As for Gladiators they are going to play against Shopify Rebellion to be able to make it to the finale. Is there any new patch? And if there is then what are the chances for Gladiators? I'm waiting for answers from Dota experts curiously.

Now that you ask I wonder what the setup in other stadiums are as well. Where I'm from in Southeast Asia, there are no VIP boxes, just "grandstand" box, in the middle with just sofas so it's pretty close to the field as well, players can actually (and have in the past) jumped up and hugged presidents etc haha.
But the two I've seen in England are high up above. Best views, since you see the entire pitch, but definitely lacking some of the fanatic atmosphere. At Anfield, for example, the best atmosphere seats are at the Kop -- but it's a sort of misnomer as no one sits at that section, and most of it's filled with season ticket holders. But you see almost nothing, to be honest. You wait til your team attacks your end, and hope they camp there all game so it's fun. The other half, if you're dominating, happens up field and you kind of are guessing what's going on.
The VIP boxes are above, and generally are quieter =D
As a neutral, I'd definitely take the VIP cushy seats. Drink, talk, watch everything. Not sure why Trofo/cryptofrka are not too drunk to respond here!

The box at the Emirates is behind the seats. The seats are outside, it's grandstand and the view is fantastic - chairs are so comfy and way different than the usual stadium experience.
The box is closed off, you can get food and drinks inside but you're not allowed to take them outside.
They are high up above, so no way the players can reach them

About the game, im never gonna understand how the bookies and the data collect compute the minutes. They always add one to the real goal. for example Martinelli goal was at 19.37 but they put 20.

it is easy, if it is 0:31 on the timer, that is 1', it can't be minute 0, so each minute after is counted when started, and minute 20 starts at 19:01
Fulham did their part, Wolves are already up against Leicester, so it is up to Everton to win against Palace and improve chances to avoid relegation

Nice to hear you have a magnificent experience with SB guys, and also you see a beautifull full of goals games.
About the game, im never gonna understand how the bookies and the data collect compute the minutes. They always add one to the real goal. for example Martinelli goal was at 19.37 but they put 20. And its always that way for that i avoid like pague that kind of bets, it can make you loss health.
The NBA question for me it was like a freepoint, for everyone who knows anything about NBA. I think Trofo joking us on that, its like when he say to us check the draft in tennis.

That is beacuse we can hold our alcohol well 
New games are already starting so that means new round of drinking is starting as well. We watched Fulham in a pub near hotel. Now we will try to find some even better pub for later kick off. April 22, 2023, 08:08:07 AM
i assume you watched the game in the closed vip-rooms or could you feel the whole stadium atmosphere live on the stands as well? (unfortunately i don't know this stadium and can't say anything about the vip stands and how they are designed).
and of course also a very nice gesture from Steve (Sportsbet.io) - hope for you three that the meeting for all parties then (outside of the game attendance) has also been worthwhile
