As of now, it seems that no team can stop them. But if there will be some changes to the meta and some updates that won't be favorable to their gameplay then that could be their biggest enemy. And, I don't think that no matter what the changes will be, there's still gonna be a lot of studies they'll make on new patches and they'd be able to dominate again. This can last up to TI and it's possible that they'll get the title for this year.
We shall see if they won't choke by that time.

Betboom manage to sweep them during group stage of Bali Major and on other major tournament which both team face against each other. GG is good against WEU division team since they are already familiar on these team strategy. I think Betboom has a chance to bring down GG on a finals match when they full roster since they are already on the sycn to each to other with this new roster.

Team Liquid is proven that they can't beat GG on their many majors finals match.
The next tournament is the Riyadh Masters and this has got a whopping $15M prize pool and both teams are there, GG and BetBoom. Therefore, we might see GG will be swept by BetBoom as Pure isn't going to be covered by any punishment there as it's not a Valve-sponsored tournament. Looking at the prize and placing, everyone who's going to participate is already having a secured price even the last place.

As of now, it seems that no team can stop them. But if there will be some changes to the meta and some updates that won't be favorable to their gameplay then that could be their biggest enemy

People have been saying this ever since GG won the 1st Major and look at them now, new patches were released and the whole team just update their gameplay to suit the new patch so unless there is a Major update before TI which I believe there wont be then there is no stopping to GG domination. Pretty sure they are going to be atleast top 2 in TI for sure
They're like the OG of this era and that's for sure that this domination will go on until the TI. But we just can't be sure, we've seen Team Secret in the other seasons where they've been dominating majors then became a lackluster on TI.

Nowadays many people in our country are addicted to gambling. I have seen many people losing their huge amount in most of the gambling games. If all those people can be informed about bitcoin, how to earn money in bitcoin? I think they would have invested in Bitcoin and they could have made money from it.Besides, if they can discuss about Bitcointalk in detail, then I think they will learn about Bitcointalk besides investing in Bitcoin. In this, the person addicted to gambling could stay away from gambling besides earning money.

One thing to remember, I'm not criticizing gambling. I'm just sharing my opinion. thank you
It's easy as it may seem. If you're trying to advocate investing in Bitcoin for these gambling addicts, there's no assurance that they'd listen to you. I am sure that there have been other people that were concerned with them and gave them advice but, they never listened to anybody.
Much better is just to let remind them of what's good for them but don't force them to do something that they don't wanna do. It's good that you're spreading that investing in Bitcoin is good but, you're unsure if they might like the idea of it.

When you wear the luxury watches,it help to get a good girlfriend.
It's because it's also like a status symbol and women wants to have a man that has the sign that it can provide for them.

But you keep all the savings in the investment and earned huge from it.It allow you to do build your own house.Then it allow to keep the big money in your bank balance.So you get a beautiful wife which is essential one.The investment gives you a beautiful wife which is essential one for all the people.Even you can keep all your savings into the gold,which had more value in long run.
It all ends up that it only shows that a man who has investments and luxury watches doesn't have to worry about what they should eat tomorrow. But it's just not all about having a wife because you've got investments and you are good from it. Yet, it's about how good you are in choosing investments and whether you know how to play this game because it's not just for your future but for your family. If given a chance to have a luxury watch, why not? I'll have it after making decent profit in the next bull run if I've got no other important things to spend my money on.

So back to back to back for Gaiming Gladiators eh ? the last time a team dominated like this they ended up winning TI as well and those were WINGS. I remember that era of WINGS because they simply unstoppable and they were doing almost zero mistakes during draft time but also game time. Now it seems GG are chasing the exact thing and if somehow they win TI , I think 90% of Dota 2 pro teams should rethink how they approach this game because its clearly that GG is playing Dota 2.5 at this time with no real rival to stop them  Shocked
GG is playing on a different level. All of the teammates are clicking on their roles but before anything else, congratulations to them. They've been the kings of this season and hopefully, this continues up to TI to make it look easy. But with what I am thinking right now, Valve will do something before the TI and they'll probably nerf and buff here and there. And that potential big patch could also affect to them but we shall see that as they've always been adjusting in many ways.
GG does not always start the tournament in a best way but they sure know how to finish it. This domination is going longer and longer, isn't there anyone that can stop them? I really thought they will not win this tournament but they proved me wrong once again.

Almost all casinos that offer sports betting nowadays also have e-sports. This seems to be a growing trend, I believe.
The market is big and there are usually lot of sports these days on which players like to bet as we have different taste so casinos have started e-sports wagering also along with sportsbook to capture that area also to attract more players to the platform.
E-sports is a huge industry and that's why just like the typical sports that we've grown up with, they're also in demand at these times. No need to be physically present at the event and can be done online. While it's known that the market is so big and expanded for the e-sports, it consists of different type of people especially the gamers and those casual gamblers that want to try other things that's becoming popular.

Wemby got these stats for his debut in the NBA summer league with his team:

9 Points, 2-13 FG

8 Rebounds

5 Blocks

3 Assists

Well, too many were disappointed about the stats that he's made for his very first game. But I'd say that gives time to the kid and the best prospect on this year's draft. It's still a new and fresh start so don't be hasty. That one game seems to be like the judging game for him before even this official season starts.

I would be disappointed though, I mean with all the hype, maybe there is pressure on his shoulder on his first game and there were controversies as well. Some high lights like using his left hand to score. But he was posterized as well, so welcome to the NBA.

So let's give him some time to adapt to the rigors, this is just the summer league so he should not force himself.

Remember what happen to Chet Holmgren, it's not even the start of the NBA but he gets injured.
For sure that there's the pressure and that's why he's not yet confident in playing. It's still the first game though and there will still be more to come.
This is part of the shaping up that's being done to him so that he'll be prepared more when the regular season has come. There's still the pre-season so there's still more.
New culture and it's different from the past leagues that he's played with and that's why he can't just avoid all of those criticisms that's placed on him after the first game.

First, don't invest in what you don't know. It's okay to take it slow at a time so that you understand where you're investing your money. Second, $1800 is such a huge amount already and others don't have it and that's why you have to think first if you're pursuant to doing this.
So that in the end, whether it will make you a profit or not, you won't have others to blame but only yourself for doing so because you're the one who decided to do it.

The availability depends on which country you are from. Of course, if you're living in a country that has a little mass of land then for sure that the availability of the land for agriculture needs will be limited. But look at the big countries where owning acres of land isn't that hard at all because there's available for those who like it but with a price, and won't be flocked by people depending on the location as well.

Do daily budgets vary depending on whether you're a Bitcoiner or not?
Maybe for OP and for the others, it depends that the budget of a Bitcoiner is different from being not. In third-world countries, $10 is enough but being a breadwinner and having all the obligations goes to your shoulder that means that the budget should be bigger. While in first-world countries, it's more than that obviously and I think the factor of why the expenses of a Bitcoiner differs for some is because. It could have been separated from the cash expenditures and to the bitcoin base payments. Dunno.

2nd map was hard for Tundra and it was an almost win for Team Liquid. I thought that the game will be up to three but on the 2nd map, the Tundra was able to come back. A meepo mid and a broodmother carry and then a support visage did it all, 33's darkseer was also fat on this game.
That successful high ground defense from Tundra shifted the momentum and the networth lead that Team Liquid accumulated didn't matter anymore as their healing lineup started to fall off.
One mistake and all of the gold lead is gone. Tundra is always like this, always unpredictable. But having an incomplete roster as saksa isn't there, the plays made it even better. Team Liquid for sure have learned a lot from this match and if they're on the lead and they'll be able to end the game, they should have ended it as soon as possible but well, even if they want to if the defense on hg is through tough still they just can't. Experience wise, Tundra really knows well on situations like those.
1573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: July 07, 2023, 11:45:51 PM
I was so sure of Liquid victory today that I place two consecutive bets on them to win both maps and both of them were a loss. Now , I think Liquid drafted like that intentionally because they had a clear advantage in early-mid game and no advantage during the late them and that cost them both maps in the end.   Undecided
2nd map was hard for Tundra and it was an almost win for Team Liquid. I thought that the game will be up to three but on the 2nd map, the Tundra was able to come back. A meepo mid and a broodmother carry and then a support visage did it all, 33's darkseer was also fat on this game.

Then , I was hoping for Quest to win but as soon as I saw Ace with his Doom , I knew that GG was going to win in the end but Quest do have a very strong stream that might end up with playing semi-finals but only a victory will qualify them to TI.  
Quest is no doubt strong but it's just that GG is stronger. The upper bracket final is just like a replay, GG and Tundra.

While it is true that many have changed their lives through investing in Bitcoin. I think it's a good determination but think of it that it's not an easy journey for you. Your teacher has given you the idea and that's a good one that has been shared with you. And as you work in the land of other people, you'll see your struggle as your inspiration for a better life. You're grabbing every opportunity that you can but do not forget that you should only invest what you afford to lose.

Another controversy Pure of BetBoom has got in. In the stream of their match against Tundra, it was seen that he was stream-sniping while the game was paused. It was known too that he got into controversy by drawing "Z" on the map. As they've won against Tundra, their won and place in the upper bracket have been forfeited and they're now in the lower bracket facing Azure Ray. And another drama was in, AR don't want to play with them unless they're banned. If no action taken, they'll just forfeit the game.

Pure needs to get sanctioned and not play for the rest of the tournament. I guess that's enough of a punishment for now, though Valve would really be the ultimate judge, jury, and executioner for this unsportsmanlike behavior from Pure. We saw them going so far as banning the player for life for much lesser offenses, although they have become more lenient in recent times so that I believe it will be a lesser sanction.
He's sanctioned already and just waiting for the official sanction that's gonna affect their direct invite to TI. Their manager has already spoken and complained that the sanction was too much for them.

Also, Azure Ray demanding a ban isn't really sportsmanlike too. The previous game does not concern them, and they still have time to prepare against BetBoom minus Pure so it's just them being too demanding for a ban when Tundra themselves don't see it like that.
They're just playing by the book, I'm not tolerating what they're up to but it's in the book and Pure's stream sniping is really a bannable offense. Anyway, both Azure Ray and BetBoom are eliminated.

Team Aster is also out. But with what happened to Pure, there is a potential reduction of their DPC points since it was said that it's per player points. If Quest ends up at least top 2 then they'll be the one to get in for the direct invite to TI but if not, then there's still a chance for Execration to swap position with BetBoom's last slot for the TI direct invite.
If they do receive a deduction in points, then they're fucked and have to go through the qualifiers. Top 2 is doable for Quest if they can beat Gaimin Gladiators today since they've already beaten Team Liquid before, but I hope we see Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid in the finals, as I need them for the BSFL.
That's true, there will be a potential deduction in their DPC points and that means that last slot if Quest reaches the top 2 then they'll replace them. But if Quest ends early and not reaching the top 2, by luck then it shall go with Execration. Speaking of Team Liquid, they're now in the lower bracket after being beaten by Tundra without saksa and subbed by their coach aui_2000. And funnily speaking, this match was supposed to be for BetBoom and not with Tundra.
1576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: July 06, 2023, 10:11:08 PM
They were already at the upper bracket and should have taken a rest today and be prepared for their tomorrow's match. But with that simple evidence that has been caught, everything has changed within less than 24 hours. They're already out of the Bali major and was eliminated by the Azure Ray and their secured slot for TI 12 has already been gone because there's only 1 slot left and their DPC point should have been enough if no issue has been made for today, but sadly it's all gone.
I was wondering who would be their substitute and i'm surprised that Resolution was there in the venue. Unfortunately, it's still not enough and I guess they're caught off guard as it all happened way too fast.
I saw reports that it should have been their coach but good thing that Reso was there and was on the caster's side. However, totally not enough and they've been beaten badly by the Azure Ray.

Now it's out of their reach and they have to root for 9Pandas to deny Team Aster the 300 DPC points they need. That final spot will depend on who wins today's last lower-bracket match currently, it's 1-1 after Team Aster failed to pull off the comeback in game 2.
Team Aster is also out. But with what happened to Pure, there is a potential reduction of their DPC points since it was said that it's per player points. If Quest ends up at least top 2 then they'll be the one to get in for the direct invite to TI but if not, then there's still a chance for Execration to swap position with BetBoom's last slot for the TI direct invite.

Betboom certainly have caused ripples in the dota arena and had cemented a name for themselves in this tournament in Bali.
This certainty is in jeopardy for making an appearance at the next major tournament set up starting later this month.

Yea but it goes deeper than that it seems. Azure just announced that they won't play with BB as long as Pure is there and they already reported this to Valve because Epulze tried to convince them to let Pure play but that is simply against the rules because once you cheat ( no matter what cheat you used ) , you should be punished for a long period of time and you won't be able to compete in any official Valve competitions. Now , I'm curious what Valve will have to say about this incident and also what they will say about Epulze who tried to convince Azure Ray to let Pure play against them.

What a day in Dota 2 ...the drama will be big and I got my popcorn ready  Grin Grin
They haven't reported it to Valve yet. They'll only report it if Pure will play but I guess this is all settled now, Pure won't play against Azure Ray, and their coach, Boolk will play for him. So there's an adjustment that's gonna happen for them. Boolk will play as pos 5 and T.Tokyo will play as the offlane(pos 3). Another thing is that I'm not sure if it's for real that 33 used Spotify app while being in-game and with that, the team is punished with a level one draft penalty but that's not really a heavy punishment and I'm thinking of it just a meme when sneyking posted it.
Or there's another stand-in aside from Boolk and that's going to be resolution that will play as their pos 3 and T.Tokyo will remain as pos 5.

To beat the bookmakers, you need an EDGE, a strategic advantage that maximizes your chances of success.
Isn't it that the house always wins? And even if you've got that edge you're saying and a set of strategies to beat the house, you just can't. I mean you may do that temporarily and then get some wins but it's very simple if we're talking about sports betting.
You know the sports you're betting and you've got a plan already and checks out every single thing that's related to the match that you'll bet. That's how it goes and if those edges you've mentioned help you out in winning, that's good but most likely everyone has their own working strategy in terms of winning in sportsbetting.
