Unfortunately, we didn't see the over in the grand finals as LGD had the better draft on both maps. It could've gone to a third map if Team Spirit decide to pick different cores but they really want to make the Viper and Ember pick work somehow.
Yeah was kinda expecting some sort of crazy games there considering that this is pretty much the rematch for TI10 but PSG.LGD is currently back in their prime I guess and casually winning the top spot for $1.5 million Do you guys think that PSG.LGD will flop on the Major though considering that they dont really need to win any points in this tournaments therefore they could pretty much draft whatever the hell they want as well as trying things out That is quite a prize and too bad Team Spirit was not even able to win a single map. I think many are expecting it to reach game 3 and so maybe there are lots here that got rekt betting on +1.5 map. I do not know if they will flop but I think they could use the major experience better if they still try to win it while experimenting build and combos. That is why it is exciting to watch arlington because we might see something new and amazing in it. |

This trade discussions involving Brown and Durant may effect the Celtics negatively whether it pushes through or not.
If it pushes through, it will disrupt the established chemistry that the team build through their young cores. And they are not assured that Durant and Tatum tandem will click. And it can also disrupt Tatum's development as the alpha of the team. This may lead them not achieving anything. This can affect Tatum's decisions when he becomes free agency. Worst comes to worst, Durant will leave them disarrayed just how he leaves his former teams.
If it does not push through, it may affect the relationship of the management with brown and eventually affects the team. After the performance that Brown showed last season, specially in the finals, he will be disgruntled to know that Celtics still considered him a trading piece. A disgruntled star athlete will have bad performance

After having a wonderful season and reaching even the finale, I'm going to wonder what Boston Celtics will do in the new season. They were so close to win a championship after a break of so many years. However Warriors didn't let them do it. If Celtics don't make too big changes in their system I still believe that they can make it sooner or later. But their job is still going to be difficult of course. I wonder if they are thinking of changing some of the players in their roster. I hope the changes wouldn't be for their best players.
They do not have to make any drastic changes in their line up. Their starting is very young aside from Horford. That is good core and now they have an experience in the finals, they will develop more. An adjustment could bt to let Al Horford be on bench and put someone younger but equally talented to take his place in the starting line up. They do not have to trade Horford but keep him to keep the team anchored since they need a veteran guidance.
I like how the Golden State Warriors didn't complicate things regarding the possibility of signing Kevin Durant and decided to continue next season with almost the same lineup they have the previous season that won a title. It's a good move for them not to pursue getting the rights of Kevin Durant.
Basically, the Warriors also joined the Durant hype and even offer the Nets their possible trade package. Things failed as the Nets ask for more young players in return and the Warriors didn't take the bite.
We can now remove the Warriors from the list of teams that were rumored to have an interest in signing Kevin Durant this off-season.
They actually do not need Durant in their squad. They already have good chemistry and their trio is good for a few more years if there are no major injuries happening to them. And I like how they develop their young athletes that could replace their current Trio in the future. Getting Durant means throwing away the work they have done with their young athletes away. |

What n interesting turn of events on Riyadh Master Tournament. We have another ultimate rematch from Team Spirit and PSG LGD after TI10 grand finals. I didn’t expect that Team Spirit will gonna beat Team Secret via reverse sweep in a convincing way. I thought this will gonna be OG and Secret finals but the result turns in to opposite on todays matches. Grand finals is upcoming for less than 1hr. Good luck! LGD will gonna win this time.
That was totally unexpected. Team secret was dominating on the first game and I thought it will continue on the next game. But Team Spirit regrouped and find a way to beat team Secret on game two and totally crushed them on game 3. I really thought team Secret will move on to the finals but alas, they lost. Anyway, both teams that are at the top of their groups in the group stage has fallen. We will see LGD and Team Spirit in the finals. By the way, here is the odds in stake.  It seems that LGD is heavily favored to win the match. I don't think that Team Spirit will just give in though. Good luck to your bets. |

IMO, we are the one who is complicating the bitcoin to an average joe because they already know how to use money so if they are supposed to spend bitcoin they can and they will but the volatility of the bitcoin is making it more of an investment and speculative asset over the currency. And then its not really mandatory for everyone to know the technical knowledge of cryptocurrencies just the basic understanding of decentralization is more than enough.
It is not enough that they just understand how to use it but also how to protect their bitcoin and other crypto. In the last bull run, many of the new crypto users are losing their crypto to scammers because they are giving away their private keys. We cannot keep new users to keep using bitcoin and crypto if we do not educate them properly. It is the least we can do to make sure that bitcoin will continue to grow. The thing is this : 1. Bitcoin Volatility are drawing in the wrong people, because speculators and profit hunters are attracted to high volatility... because it provides for an opportunity to make huge profits.  I am very sure, if the novices come because of this problem. Even I used to be interested in BTC because its Votality can make us profit. Maybe if only small traders will not make the market volatile. But the whales can certainly direct where the market will go. It can also be a factor to drive them out of crypto though. Once they fail to realize their profit or got rekt by volatility, they will immediately lose interest in bitcoin. It seems difficult, if indeed they already have an evil nature. Because wherever it is bad people are always there, they sometimes also have more knowledge than good people. So I think it's natural that in an innovation there are always things that are not good there.
Anything can be used in good and bad. Do not blame the technology, blame the user. that is why we need to educate the new users so that they can protect themselves from bad individuals using bitcoin and other crypto. |

A big fan too of the shake and bake maestro but I don't know, there must be a different purpose into why they want Crawford in their roster.
Maybe mentally?
He may be one of the greatest sixth man in the league but those knees are growing weaker as you age.
I don't see him being given even 20 minutes of playtime, it will be more of boosting the morale of their bench.
I do not see any purpose in it. He could provide veteran knowledge and experience but the team already have Lebron. And who is better to provide that experience and knowledge than their own star with 19 years old experience. And with Jamal's age, he will only be a liability on the court.
I guess you can call it sacrifice, and this is not the first time that we have heard players accepting pay cut for reasons, others want to stay in the league, or players that just come from injuries like Victor Oladipo when he move to Miami.
So genuine reason or not for Harden, we shall see if his gamble have paid off or after this season and it didn't went well with him then maybe he will exercise his option the next year.
Getting a pay cut makes him look good and if he gets a ring with it, he can use that to leverage for a better contract next time. Does not look like a sacrifice to me, more like a strategic approach to secure his future. |

Sa tingin niyo mag kaka 2nd big hype ba si axie in the future? As we know currently madaming players na ang umayaw at investors na nag benta ng assets nila. Marami na din na dismaya ssa axie dahil sa kanilang pag ka lugi. Is 2nd big hype deserve by Axie Infinity/Sky Mavis?
Last bull market is is ang GameFi sa trends kaya halos lahat ng GameFi platforms ay matunog. 2nd GameFi Trend? Quality Games?
In the next bull run, Do you guys think na aangat padin sila over the other quality/3d games na on the development right now?
As long as hindi naman tumitigil ang mga developers sa pagdevelop ng game ay may pag-asa pa rin na sumabay sa next na bull run ang axie. At kapag tinignan mo ang revenue nila per month kahit na pababa ang trend ay medyo mataas pa rin naman kumpara sa nuong 2019. So may pundo pa rin sila para ipag papatuloy ang kanilang operation. At depende sa magiging result ng builders program at release ng land gameplay, maaring mas sumikat pa ito sa hinaharap. https://www.axieworld.com/en/economics/charts?chart=revenue |

Team Spirit eliminated RNG in the playoffs. The semifinals slot is now complete and each team is guaranteed USD 425K prize.  I am excited to watch Team Secret and Team Spirit battle it out in the semis. They had a good match yesterday and I know they will not disappoint. I am rooting for secret for they have been very dominant in this tournament. But depending on the odds, I will bet on the one that have better odds for this match up could go either way anyway. I will surely bet on OG on their match against LGD. I just don't feel that LGD has what it takes to beat OG right now. |

My hands is itching to bet on both Chinese team because they are both good on crucial match like this but the new and improved Nigma give me hard time to decide whether if I will stick on my parlay match winner or do the safe bet which +1.5 on EU teams. I think any odds that greater than 1.5 for +1.5 handicap is a steal for this matches because these 4 teams on quarter finals is proven consistent based on there previous matches.
Hope you bet on +1.5 on EU teams because Nigma just got there 1st win against LGD. LGS call an early GG on the game because Nigma dominates them since the beginning. Nigma seems very strong after Sumail join there roster and Miracle back on position 1 once again. I think they can beat PSG LGD on this match and possibly on the finals since they have an even match by OG before. This might be there official come back after being relegated to Division 2. ILTW is the one dragging them down.  I was surprised when LGD called an early GG in game 2. I know Nigma was snowballing on their lead to LGD but it was just an 8K lead. I guess it was not worth it to waste time since LGD won game 1. LGD proved that they are the better team in Game 3. They returned the favor to Nigma and destroyed them early with 5 kills just 2 seconds in the game. They snowballed on that and Nigma had no chance to come back. LGD secured a semifinal seat against OG and earned a guaranteed 425K paycheck. |

^^ I guess it's just a question of Booker's mentality though, I rated him above Tatum couple of years ago, but right now, it seems that Tatum is more clutch than him specially with the way their series with Dallas turns out.
So let's see if he can go back next season with a lot of pride and prove something in return. He is still in his prime, can average 25 ppg++ and be on the top of the scoring list. He just need to be consistent and have that Black Mamba mentality.
Booker is still young. He still have a lot of basketball in him. Also, he have good mentor now with CP3. I am sure he will be back this season better and stronger. Consistency and mentality all comes with experience. I think this past two years are experience enough for them to build upon. Probably, it's now or never for Chris Paul, next season should be the one but the Warriors are still one of the favorite despite some of the supporting cast leaving for a good contract on other teams.
I think Chris Paul is still good for 2 seasons. Hopefully he could get a ring within that time. He is one of the best point guard in my opinion and a ring will solidify that. |

The way I see it, there are lots of casino signature campaigns because they can realize profit from it. Obviously, they are pulling a lot of gamblers from here otherwise we will not see them promoting here.
That said, gambling section will remain an active section in bitcointalk even when there are less casino signature campaigns. There are a lot of gamblers here that would want to talk about gambling events and the like. There might be a slight decline in activity but that's it.

I do not see any clear goal on your part in establishing a casino.
You lack experience in casino business. I suggest you get some from existing online casinos by working under them as a developer or coder since you already got that skill. Then you can observe from within how a casino is run and managed, their selling points and the costs.
Next is established what can set you apart from other online casinos. If unique enough, that will get you your user base.
Having knowledge in coding and crypto is not enough to survive in casino business. That is common and you can just hire people to do that for you. What you need to have is good management and business skills and a clear goal.
Good luck with your endeavours.

Westbrook and CP3 are also in the list of valuable players along with Harden who don't have a ring until now, I think these 3 mentioned names are the remaining players in their generation who haven't got a ring that is still playing up to present and the rest had already also retire without it. Now, I'm kind of curious which of these 3 has the most chances to win its first ring before they retire? Mine is CP3.
Those 3 names mentioned above do belong to a heavy teams in the league, the competition has gotten tight and I'm looking forward that at least one of them can grab a title.
I am rooting for CP3 to get a title too. He almost got a title in 2021 but fell short to the Bucks. Hopefully they could do better next season. Among the 3 that you mentioned, CP3's team has gone the farthest lately. And he is the oldest, so I hope he gets a ring before he retires. That might be the case too, we've been talking these trade rumors even before the NBA Summer League started and until now both Durant and Irving are still on the same position. The Brooklyn Nets are taking priority to trade Durant first but there's no team yet in the league that could match what the Nets wanted in exchange for Durant which is kind of reasonable because Durant can really get a title for team if he will have a good supporting players and a co-alpha in the team.
If there are no biters, are the Nets going to retain these two or they will be forced to trade them with lesser value than they wanted? I think they should retain them, but I do not know if they can be productive since the players requested the trade themselves. Word on the street is that the Lakers just offered Jamal Crawford a 1-year contract. Crawford is one of the best sixth man to ever play in the NBA and a relentless scorer. I could see him coming off the bench for a few good moments when they need a bucket. He’s old, but many NBA players were surprised he didn’t have a contract last year, as he’s still one of the better players in the league.
I tried to search this, but I do not see any news about it. What is the source of this rumor? And if true, does the lakers want to add another oldies in their roster? They need young blood and fresh legs, not another old guy. |

Riyadh Masters group stage is over with Team Secret and OG getting the top spot of their respective groups. Team Secret is still proving to be very strong, losing only 1 game to Team Spirit.  I do not have the odds yet, but it is very interesting to watch these teams battle it out in the playoffs. I think LGD and Team Spirit will move on to the next round but will see how the odds are before I make my bets. |

Sa pansamantala okay din na hindi niya balak na i-ban ang crypto pero habang binabasa ko yung article, sa tingin ko ay may negative connotation sa kanya ang crypto. Dahil sabi nga niya ... “what social good” does Bitcoin achieve... So, sa palagay ko ay makaka apekto ito kung may magpupush na i-ban ang Binance at mapwersa sila na desisyunan ito. The biggest crypto exchange in the world, Binance, is also eyeing to secure a virtual asset provider (VASP) license in the country. Although a think tank – Infrawatch – is trying to block this from happening, with the group even penning a letter to the BSP and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to ban the exchange from operating.

The Knicks have the best package for him but Danny ainge is trying to fleece them. The Knicks have like 12 firs round picks in the next 7 or so years. Ainge wants like 6 or 7 first round picks PLUS our youth in grimes, iq and obi. I hope new york hung up on him immediately. As a knick fan I'd love donovan but we'd have an incredibly small backcourt in mitchell and brunson, and losing all that capital, nah. I'd run the squad as is and keep building. Ainge is off his rocker.
wow, that is just way too much. Are they overestimating the value of Donovan Mitchell? Knicks will be trading away their future if they give in to that. On the one hand, I agree that the Heat should improve the roster, and Kevin Durant would still be a priority target for their management. On the other hand, the Heat have already had good results in the playoffs over the past few seasons, and it means that the Heat management would obviously be making a big mistake if they decided to trade a lot of role players just for Durant.
They have good results, but it is just not enough though. They need one more star to push them into a Championship or at least to the finals. The East is a tough competition right now with Celtics stars at their peak and Bucks still a force to reckon. But you are right, it just does not feel right to throw away your built chemistry and role players for Durant. And Nets will not let go of Durant without getting the value they want. |

This is a good time for Team Secret to polish their teamwork and improve since they still have to go through the TI qualifiers.
Pretty sure that they already have with the way they are playing right now as they are now so much better with their new stand-in. They had a hard time on the DPC but winning all 3 previous games slaying all those top teams so far. Totally has me worries abit because this means Team Secret could be a top candidate for the WEU TI qualifier as well alongside Nigma. They totally dominating right now with 40 kills a game. They are in a roll. But someone pointed out that they always have a good start but fails to finish strong in a tournament. They give away their hands early in the tournament. Hopefully it is different this tournament. Maybe its time for Iceiceice to find another team and Secret shouldnt let Reso to be out of their hands
I have seen this comment a lot in social media. I wonder how will this affect iceiceice. It is exciting to see how will this develop for team secret specially if they finish strong in this tournament. OG is good too and too sad for TS which most people been saying that TI champ was a fluke. hahaha
OG is strong and splitting their matches. I feel like OG is still experimenting with their picks and combos. |

^Simply because many Filipino user here that loves basketball, Honestly I really want to support the Gilas but there current roster is not on competitive level compared before plus the coaching style didn’t improved at all and just use the traditional way which is proven not working anymore, Before we have a lot of small shooter player but now we can’t compete anymore at that game. The odds is really tempting but it’s obviously a trap if you knew how bad the Philippines team right now.  The result is really bad and as expected, we loss to Japan in their last game. Though I’ve heard many good players to play with Gilas next especially with the NBA player Jordan Clarkson and I hope this is true because seriously, our basketball team needs to be more composed and a good player like JC can be a big impact to the team. I hope for our Gilas team to have more practice time and bond as a team not an individual player. We are expecting Kai Sotto and JC to play on 2023 FIBA qualifier together with june mar, dwight and japeth. PBA will give way also so that they can have longer practice time together. Hopefully this is true so we can have a better chance in entering FIBA world cup. That is our chance to redeem ourselves. We are a proud basketball nation but indonesia and japan are beating us now. Those nations have improved a lot with their game and we are being left behind. We loss, despite of having a good players they are unable to showcase their real talents. I think the problem here is about the coaching staff and the system that we have right now, the mother teams of the players should allow their start player to easily practice with the national team but because of too much politics, we are seeing a bad standing of Philippine Basketball.
We did not send our best players because of pba have an ongoing conference. I think they have recognized that as a mistake and will have only two conference next season. Hopefully SBP and others involved will do away with politics as well so we can provide a better system and coaching staffs to our next gilas rosters. |

Sa mga mahilig sa trading, mukhang wala na sa beta phase ang " Coins Pro" dahil sinubukan ko ito pagkatapos kong makita na nagkaroon ng " facelift yung Coins" mismo at nakapasok ako [AFAICR, hindi ako nag sign sa wait list nila dati]. Mabuti naman kung ganon para maari na magamit ng ibang coins.ph user ang trading platform nila. Kailangan na lang nila mag attract ng mas maraming users na gagamit ng platform. Sa experience ko, mabagal ang movement ng mga crypto na nakalist sa kanila dahil kukunti lang ang nagtratrade. Baka ngayon naka open na, mas mabilis nang gumalaw at lumaki na ang volume. |

Secret is simply having fun playing against Deboosters as even their picks are picked in a funny way to make the team fight scrappy and very hard to counter. FIrst map they had clock + timber and a doom ...imagine running from that haha. Second map is even funnier as they took Dark Seer + ES and that proves that Secret players are on another level in this game but they should prove this when TI qualifiers will come. As many said, Everything is just fun until they met there first Chinese team in the tournament. I don’t exactly if they will still have fun if they will up against on LGD right now. LGD is playing on different level again and they just destroy TS without a sweat at all. They master this current meta and Ame can’t wait to win his first TI championship. Secret is proving to be really strong this tournament. They are dominating right now versus PSG.LGD. I do not know what changed but they are like more aggressive right now. They are not the usual defensive team. I like this version of Secret. I hope this continues to the finals. Team Liquid is obviously not suitable for Ana carry. Ana is not updated anymore on this meta while he keeps playing like he doesn’t care on winning. OG is very strong team but Team Liquid is strong too since Matumbaman is only missing on this current roster, It only means that Ana is a dead weight to this team that’s why they can’t do anything against strong team especially OG that they beat back to back on the recent DPC points. Calling Ana as part time carry is a bad idea because he is already outdated.
I was surprised to see Ana in the lineup yesterday. It is just too bad that he doesn't seems to fit with Team Liquid. I wasn't actually expecting too much for him since he has been away from the Pro scene. |
