I've lost on this match. I thought that GG will take Team Liquid but that's a proud moment for Team Liquid especially for Insania since they've always been beaten by GG for the whole year in different tournaments. As for the lower bracket match of GG against Tundra, they've won 2-1 against them. It was a match of former TI winners and major winners.

I like the third game since it's a one sided match and Nightfall just given life to another forgotten hero which is the Gyrocopter.

That's really possible and they're eager to beat GG because it's always been them that have became champs for many majors and tournaments. On this one, they want to win against them and not just that but also to take that $5M first prize. Right now, BetBoom is against 9Pandas and it's on a tie 1-1. Waiting for the 3rd map to commence. Whilst for GG, they've been beaten by Team Liquid on a 2-1 match. So, GG goes to the lower bracket and will be up against Tundra Esports tomorrow. I think the best match for today is Quest and Talon but I'll see it later after the match of 9Ps and BB.

I've been always experiencing this in the pub rank games. And there have been times that we're all mega and did a come back and the same goes that we've destroyed everything and only the throne was left but then we still lost. Dota 2 is a tough game honestly, it's mentally draining and that's why even the pro teams, one mistake becomes a good comeback and a lead doesn't guarantee a win to them. It's going to be a mental break down usually if a team comes back just like what happened with the game of 9Pandas and Team Spirit.

Congratulations to those that have been part of this airdrop. I am always late as I am not optimistic anymore with these airdrops but it seems that there are still some exception with a few project. It's always like this that there's the hype and you get to be a part of it and then when the distribution is done, you only have to wait until the exchanges open the deposits for everyone to dump it. That's usually the cycle of it and you have to be quick on it as the markets are surely going to reflect down when they open the markets on it from exchanges.

9 hours from now, the games are all set and ready for the group stage. The teams are now completed by the other 4 that has got in through the decider matches. I thought 9Panda's aren't going to make it because they did a good job on the first day of the play in but then has been found to have a decider match against Virtus.Pro. This is sad to see that VP isn't as strong as their roster before but still able to get into this tournament that has a lot of prize pool to share to everybody.

I wouldn't call that throw. One mistake for each game really changes a lot for each games situation and there's the snowballing that do happens for the teams that are under farmed and does a comeback.

It's gonna be crucial for him if he wants to participate in the TI. I guess that he'll be playing with Nigma on the qualifiers but we all know that he's got a tiny chance to get on with them because of how Kuro and the team was performing, they're truly far from the meta right now.
But if another team is going to take him as a loan through the qualifiers up to the TI if ever lucky, I wonder what team is that. The one successful loan is Sumail. This is a good reason why I guess that kuro is going to push him to be taken as a loan while he's still in contract with them.

Possible that he'll take them as a loan as well. It's because they've got no permanent teammates.

Despite ATF is really a good position 3, I agree to you that if he stays with Nigma, there should be an adjusted. And from being with OG before, he's a position 1 and that could be the adjustment. I am thinking that Nigma is more with the contract business now and not with the actual competition anymore. Kuroky needs to be just their manager or coach and let the younger ones play with their talents. ATF with the Quest is really a strong dark horse but then, it's all about business and contracts and probably ATF was minisculed by their offer and that's why ATF can't even proceed despite with a go signal from his Nigma management.

Yes, I've got the same story as yours. I've been used to being mocked by those people that were ignorant in Bitcoin but I just endured it and showed them through results that it's a great thing, an asset and investment that they can truly rely on by being patient.
Those were my old and not-so-close friends but that's fine and I just kept quiet until a few years ago and the bull run came. They have seen the results but I'm not bragging it, they're just seeing that I was way too busy from doing my stuff and things until they've noticed everything that I was doing. I just told them that I've sold everything so that they won't bother me anymore. I know that sometimes it's nice to make them see you're winning but I have come to realized that it's best to just have a peace of mind and quiet place so that no people will bother you anymore and you can do and continue whatever stuff you have been doing.

Okay, thanks. I thought that there's a way that it can be checked since there's a way to check every current game even just for the images and real time trackers.

It's not a rumor, it's a fact. The one who's assigned in doing these updates have officially posted it on his Facebook and Twitter account. I don't know with his other socials but if you know Wykrhm Reddy then you can check it. He's icefrog.

Btw, Riyadh Masters isn't a dota 2 major but it's still a tier 1 tournament because of how huge the prize that's awaiting for the teams that will be part of it. Isn't there a way to check the MMR or the leaderboards? But anyway, that's not a big deal though, most teams are craving for the prize and I doubt that someone won't be able to play but we'll know soon if there have been some visa issues for some players. Btw, what's a mercenary status?

That's a good transition for Gabbi, I think that this contract is just going to be for the qualification of the TI in the Western Europe. Gabbi being a pos 1 before and now transitioned into a pos 3. That's not an easy one but he surely have his practiced and play a lot of games in the pub as a pos 3. Looking at the teams participating this qualifier is like hard to think of. But the good thing is that there are two slots on this region.

I'd be careful of not choosing any of them because these days, I choose not to be a day trader. But if you want to be one, you have to start just going with the spot market. And if you're looking for any alternatives, there's no need for you to think. By simply buying that $4k worth of BTC as your investment, you don't need to do that much as you only need to hold and do nothing with it. There's no any tricks or strategies aside from the term called, HODLING. I'm sure that you've heard of that somewhere and with that amount, you need to search for yourself first if you truly are prepared and ready to buy Bitcoin. Because if not, you may regret it eventually that you've bought when you're not prepared mentally and emotionally.

Having food security plays a big part for an economy of a country. If you're one of the biggest producers and farmers in your region, it's no doubt that you're one of the big contributors to your economy. But even not that as big as I am thinking, as long as you produce your own food, you're not just helping to keep up with the economy but also you're securing your food and lessening the problem that you have to deal with. At the same time, not just being secured in food but you also have to produce and sell it within your region and much better to export it in country's that has a lot of demand for crops, tomato and etc.

Like the known quote about money;


And with their stance before, that have changed them into a better person today because they see the opportunity is on it. Or, they're just playing fool and making everyone believe that they're against bitcoin so that there won't that be much demand and they can pick it while the prices aren't as high as possible.

Going to the point of government, most of them are actually neutral and whoever is at the top of these officials dealing and concerning topics about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. They're probably just weighing things around so that they won't compromise the bigger institutions favoring Bitcoin with their policies, so, they really are careful in balancing laws and reviewing the benefits of it upon adoption.

Beastcoast won against Shopify Rebellion. The map 3 of their match is one sided

This is for tomorrow's match. Although Quest is an interesting and seem to be an easy going but strong team. GG is still different from them.

While as of typing this, Betboom and Azure Ray's first map is done and the first win goes to AR. Pure of BetBoom is disqualified for the entire run of this Bali major. Well, if AR will win the 2nd map or 3rd map if it goes there, this is their last run. A lot of things will be affected for the BetBoom team just because of his issue.

That surely is a long time but take note of the word that's being said, "sometimes". And I think that happens for special occasions and accounts that need to be taken seriously with their investigation department. But telling such, is just like giving you ample time to wait so that you won't expect that it should be as soon as possible. They can also solve it the quickest that they can and if you think that it has taken a long time for this investigation with your account, you can have a follow up and ask them on what's the progress and in which part of the process with your case is. It's not gonna hurt them to give you an update unless they'd say the same thing to be patient.

Yeah, we are still the ones to decide and control ourselves if we're going to take loans. Even if the government pushing people to take loans, that's a trap and you know it for yourself and just don't take it when you don't need it. And even if you need it but you know that you're not able and there's the consequence that you may experience later on, just choose what's ease for you.

Live frugally. This is going to help you out with what you just need in your day to day living, I agree that living luxury will push you to your limits because you're living to impress others and that's the second thing to avoid, don't try to impress other people and don't get their approval with things that you're doing in life. If you're living simply then that's the best way to live out without waiting for others to tell if you're doing it right or wrong if you're seeing it very well effective and you're not having any troubles living it.

I don't know the background of the owners of stake but if there's only thing that I know about them is that they've built its reputation over time and it's also they are serious with this business. They've taken on board Drake as their brand ambassador and paid him a lot of money.
So, I think that with that action and a combination of many users that will agree that they're trusting them, if going with the roots and whether it tallies or not. They've made their brand known and popular not just here in the forum but also in sporting events that they've been supporting athletes and those sports in itself.

I thought that he'll be choosing to get away from the team to explore further. But this is a good decision from him getting that $100M for a 4-year deal to make the current roster intact together with a new addition of CP3.

This truly is a good news for the Lakers. While Dennis Schroder is out and will be going to the Raptors, Hachimura got a decent contract with the Lakers while adding Vincent to their roster. Well, this is what we're liking with the Lakers now. A lot of support is there and this is a balance lineup that they probably want.

I voted for sportsbetting and it's the most popular in the poll. 

Not just entertaining as it is but if you're truly a fan of that sport you're betting, it's easy to figure out what are the teams that you should bet if there are odds out already.

This varies from the bias that we've got but can't argue that it's one of the most popular.

Anyone will have an answer base on what they think and feel about which is more bullish. But this is a topic that really has nothing to do with someone's holding or belief in the market. Miners will always be there because it is profitable, the bitcoin core devs of course are also bullish too and want to see bitcoin to succeed more. Whilst for the noobs, count me in there as it could be someone who's just in the market and buys bitcoin and holds it for the long term. As for these institutions, they're known that they're here to make money and that's why no matter what the market situation is, they'll find ways to capitalize the situation and make money from it. You see what they're doing right now, they're all hungry to take advantage of the situation and no one wants to get left behind.
