So the match of Talon and Execration was done and it ended up good for Execration as they're now qualified for the Bali major. While Talon, it's just for the potential placing but they're also likely to get a secured slot.

There's only one match remaining and that's Army Geniuses and Blacklist. If Blacklist wins against AG then the placing will be BL on 3rd and Talon as 4th and both of them will still go to the major.

But if BL loses against AG then we have a decider placing match which is the battle for 3rd and 4th place but still, both places will go Bali major but the difference is the DPC points.
Based on the Liquipedia rankings, it should be more than enough since the minimum will only go down even further.

On top of the Blacklist win, we'll still be getting a tiebreaker, but it's between them and Execration fighting for second and third place.

There's also unfortunate news Team Secret will be heading to Division 2 for the next season after failing to win the last two maps against Tundra. I wonder who'll be the other team that'll join them.
Yeah, Team Secret is going back to division 2 together with D1 Hustlers while here are the teams on WEU in particular order that will join the Bali major, congrats to them:

  • Tundra Esports
  • Gaimin Gladiators
  • Quest Esports
  • Team Liquid

I hope that all of them win against any VISA issue that they might face going to Indonesia.

--

Whilst on the SEA, here are the teams in particular order that qualified to go to Bali:

  • Bleed Esports
  • Blacklist Rivalry
  • Execration

There was a match of XCTN and BL but BL won more DPC points and got 2nd.

It's better to be safe than sorry. I think if we're going to be vocal with our Bitcoin holdings, it's better to use some safe and counter words as if we're no longer have it.

Like, "Yeah, it was a good investment until I've sold and made a profit from it and then I've spent all of my profit for my needs and entertainment."

And from there, you'll stop that you'll put it on their minds that you will still plan to buy it but you don't know when. I know there are friends of us that we can trust but most of them can't. So, if you're gonna be talkative and overwhelmed talking about your assets, always make sure to use safe words and make them believe that you're once into it but not anymore today.

While they're not yet secured for the Bali major as they only have 1 match remaining. I think if they've just won against Xerxia, they are probably secured a slot now.

I think that if Bleed and Talon will win their respective matches as both of them still has two matches, maybe Blacklist will end 3rd or 4th but will still qualify for the major.

I'm avoiding to bet on them because they're still inconsistent IMO.
I agree five wins would've guaranteed them third place, and for now, they have to root for SMG and Talon to take down Execration to avoid the tiebreaker scenario.

That's why i've been betting against them this tour because in the last two tours, they've been a letdown and only shown some improvements in their previous two or three series.

As for some news about the DPC points and The International 2023, Gaimin Gladiators just got enough points so they're already got their direct invitation to go there and the same goes for the first SA team to get a direct invite which is the EG.

In total, we've got three teams securing slot for the TI 2023.

  • Team Liquid
  • GG
  • Evil Geniuses

It was a 4:30 minutes long video. I've firstly noticed about telling that Bitcoin is the first digital currency, I mean that's true in beginners term but straight to the fact, it's not. Much better if it's said that it's the first cryptocurrency in the introduction. However, at the conclusions part, it has mentioned the right thing of what I am saying about being the first crypto.

That was a good video but it didn't reiterate about the scams and phishings when it had tackled about safety. It's said that it rarely happens for the theft and only said more about the forgetting of password of the wallet.

Well, it's fair enough and this is a good introduction for the newbies and those that haven't heard about Bitcoin. Thanks for sharing op!

Thanks OP for posting this.

You can't expect Google/YouTube and even Facebook to take these scam and phishing websites to be down as soon as possible. But as soon as you're able to report them, they'll deal with it.

That's what we can hope for them because if we will just rely on them and no one reports these type of websites, they'll not filter and won't remove it unless someone reports it.

With a tough competition gone to the market of mixers, they'll keep coming and only a few legitimate will remain because it's like a gold rush for the genuine ones but as well as for the scammers.

Blacklist won this match. It was a good match up and despite that, both teams are likely to go together in Bali major but the difference is their DPC points whoever gets a better standing at the end of this tour.

Going to WEU, what a pitiful 2nd and 3rd map for Team Secret. They've won with their first map but then got swept by Quest for 2nd and 3rd map. There's a serious change that I think Puppey needs to do in terms of draft like the third map with their pick, it's not really wise at all to get that medusa as part of their picks.

Quest won easy and ATF's anti-mage offlane made it easy for Team Secret's medusa to struggle in farming.

As much as many would like to see Team Secret win, they just can't. Dota is rough for them.
That win from Blacklist was impressive, and it's now their major spot to lose, as they still have one series left against AG. And I need to stop betting against them because this is my third time fading these guys and i'm now 0-3. Tongue

I was impressed with Team Secret when they won that Windranger pick in the first game, I thought they were most likely losing, but it still worked regardless of the hero's bad record in the DPC games. The Medusa pick was okay in game 3, but they fell for Quest's trap after banning carry heroes in the first phase, and Quest quickly countered her with an offlane AM.
The pick was fine but Quest did managed to counter that too easy and that offlane AM was just so sick and annoying for Crystallis' medusa. I hate it and I'll be tilted if ever I'm on his shoe, keep on dying easily.

We're in the final week of the DPC Division 1 and Bleed got some good odds against Blacklist Rivalry. They're only one win away from locking their spot in the major but their biggest priority is going 7-0 and taking first place because they haven't earned any points in the last two tournaments.

1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: May 28, 2023, 08:28:51 PM
Well, business is business. There isn't any cons on betting against your club, as the objective here is to predict who is going to win and not to cheer for one team or another.
Exactly.

The club owners and members and other fans won't even get mad at you just because you see the odds is better than the opponent and you think that your favorite club will lose this day. People wouldn't even care if you lose, so why care for the thoughts of others since you're not even associated with the entire club and you're just the same as the others for being a fan.

at the end of the day, what matters is how much you have in your pockets? that is true, people won't care if you lose or not. so better think of yourself and not others.
without a doubt, some people even bet on the opposite team if they see such advantage. after all, people do care about their financial gain on this activity, whether you are a die-hard fan or not.
Yes.

It's all about how much you've got. You can do whatever you want with any amount on your pocket whether to bet it for your favorite club or to their opponent.

Nobody really cares unless you're part of a circle of truly die hard fans of your favorite clubs/teams and you tell them that you never bet for that club. They might mock you but who cares, it isn't their money and you're the one taking the risk.

That's why let's just go with the reality and people shouldn't care as well for other people's validation. I thought that it's just for some case but even in gambling which is another personal matter, everyone shouldn't intidimated such as betting for your likes or not.

People wouldn't even care if you lose, so why care for the thoughts of others since you're not even associated with the entire club and you're just the same as the others for being a fan.

Moreover, from a wider perspective, let's imagine the fans of a team bet against their club, and use the profit made with this bet to help their team financially on the next season, so the club could hire superior players and support staff to improve the team's performance.

That would be crazy, but still practicable, right?
Yeah crazy. These are like the die hard fans but that's out of scope and you're not obligated to do such for the club as they've got sums of budget per season and per contract of their hired people whether the staff or the players.

But to show support with the money you've won, you're free to do that and no one can stop you unless they think it's inappropriate or harsh for them.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 26, 2023, 09:41:48 PM
There's also Team Secret against Entity. Team Secret has not shown anything so far this season but maybe it's just like last season when they finally get their plays in the final qualifiers and then went great at TI.
Looks like there's no hope for Team Secret. Even if too many fans are counting on them and thinking that they'll be the best to get onto this upcoming major, they're struggling on qualifying it. They're at the bottom of this tour 3 and might be out after week 3.

I don't think two remaining matches will be enough, these two will be against Quest which is also a good team and as well as Tundra. These aren't going to be easy wins for them.

Too tough for them and they've been always like this. I guess that we'll see another roster shuffle on them unless Puppey really believes on their roster that shall take them to the TI stage. It is what the utmost thing for this year to every team to be considered.

They might be back to division 2 and will have to go through the qualifiers and I think they can make it there but it's gonna be tough, really tough.
1912  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: May 25, 2023, 05:35:53 PM
Changing of terms and conditions without notifying the users or gamblers is normal with online gambling websites?
That's not normal, even if a casino's TOS states that they can modify any of their following rules. There's still a need for them to notify their customers with any change that they've made. That's ethical for a business to let your customers know what you've done based on the policies that you've made and adjusted.

Then when you did something wrong or about to withdraw your money they will tell you that you don't read their terms and conditions, and you start arguing with them until you decide to read the ToS again and you find out that it's different.
If you can prove them that you've got a solid evidence that the TOS have been modified and it is different from the copy that you've read before upon signing up, show it to them so that they can't alter your defense.

Some gambling websites consist of wicked owners that willingly plan to defraud their users using the ToS against them, or is this normal? Have such happened to anyone on this forum before?
Abnormal obviously.

Just check on the Scam Accusations section and you'll see complains, some of them might involve these rules or TOS that have been inaccurately far from the original TOS upon withdrawal.
1913  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Start a lending business on: May 24, 2023, 06:51:56 PM
I don't know if this lender service works well in this forum but judging from the comment on here I think it works
It does works and those lenders that have been in the business and have their own threads on the lending section have been there not just for several months but even for years.

but there is a problem, you are using a brand new account, this could make some people not want to deal with you even though you are the lender.
IMHO, that's not a problem on his end. If his rank is still newbie it's up to him if he'll grant those loans to random people but I'd be picky to begin with this service. It's more of a trust issue while his customers will certainly trust him because he goes "first" as the lender, first in sending the funds to the borrowers.

Its gonna be tough but if you want to make a name then try to lend first only to those credible users. Dont ask for collateral, they would definitely not cheated you if they are reputable enough. This is only if you choose your clients or users perfectly. There are plenty whose asking of the loan here on forum might give to people with trusted feedback with known record.
This I think is the shortcut for OP. If he wants to start with a lending service, this how should he start but with credible members first that he'll allow to borrow without a collateral. That's what we think but it wouldn't warrant him some guarantee and will still depend on how he looks at it.

Hi, Royse. Please don't feel pressured and stressed and take your time. We do understand the situation and this is unfortunately unexpected. We're wishing that your contact from BCR will pay you so you don't have to shoulder this loss. If there's a better arrangement that you can think for everyone, we'll be glad to hear that out from you but as you've said, I'm willing to wait for even 7 to 10 days as you've said.

Otherwise, it's been a great weeks with your management and hopefully we still get to work with your other campaigns soon.

I think this is the problem of a website where you can make your BTC mixed so that it won't be easy to track. The problem with it is that the platform can be used to launder money and I think the reason would be the same as chipmixer if the website still remain seized by FBI. I wonder what will the management do to fix this.
Another problem is that the image that appears on their website is from the actual image of chipmixer when they're seized and it seems that it was just fabricated/edited for a probable exit to make it look like they're seized. Even the logo of CM was there. But who knows.

YouTube remembers the type of videos that you like to watch and from there, they're injecting you all of the related videos together with the ads that's related to it as well.

One easy and free thing to solve this is to use Brave browser, no ads will appear as you browse and watch through it. Or, avail their premium so that you'll avoid to see any ads that might annoy you.

It's still an opt-in feature but it's crazy that it might go enforced to everyone if they want to. This is crazy in all honesty.

Few days ago, I came across a topic on this forum discussing that ledger now gives customers to option to store their wallet seed phrase through a cloud service within the wallet, several users, not just on this forum but also outside this forum, expressed deep concern as no one is sure any longer on the true privacy of the ledger hardware wallet..
I have been advocating to never store private keys and/or seeds to any cloud storage and services and even if it takes Ledger to make them trustworthy, I will still not keep my seeds there.

The twist is that, it's not them that will keep the seeds but by a trusted third-party of theirs and that's even make it more scarier because even it is them that shall keep it, no way and I'll never entrust it to them.
Everything starts as an opt-in feature, and then through the sheer pressure of the government or the userbase, they'll soon start implementing it as a mandatory feature. You can't make this up, this has been the staple in this industry.
Maybe no pressure from the government but it's actually part of their plan and no customer can stop them from doing so.

We can't do much with it but they don't know that this will impact their userbase if ever they've been pushing this to most of their users. AFAIK, they're already seeing the reaction of the market that they've got on it and it's not the typical feedback they want to see.

Because everybody doesn't like it, techy and non-technical people are easily understanding where they are coming from and this is no good for an individual.

Well, lesson for Al and others that have been too emotional with these games. Before you do such mockery or signs, make sure that you're in a better situation.

Like what Luka has said, "Everyone acting tough when they're up". LOL

Does anybody still remember this taunt by Al Horford? Now Butler did this in front of him, and Horford seems angry because of what Butler did to him.

Gold is like the standard of assets and reserves and that's why it's being treated as one of the safest assets where people can jump off if they see that it's no longer safe to bet for their fiat.
Gold was no longer used as a gold standard since the Great Depression and after World War II.

Gold standard history. It was reinstalled later but was abandoned again since 1971. That metal is still considered as very precious asset for investors and we see why Bitcoin is considered as a digital gold.
It may not be the standard based on that wikipedia you've shared but as set in the minds of each individuals, it is and still one of the safest routes into investing and getting into assets.

Bitcoin is better than gold as it is portable with your private keys. You don't have to depend on banks, vaults to store your golds, log in your account and make exchange of gold to cash.
We all knew that but there are investors that want it the conservative and typical way of investing and that's through gold, jewelries, real estates, other currencies and stuff.

We know that it's a liquid asset and can be sold anytime from everywhere with just a few clicks away.

You don't have any key for your gold and will lose it if bankruptcy occurs.
As long as you have it, the value it has got remains.

But look, base on that bar graph Bitcoin is the third and I'm more than happy to see that with 3 digits of respondents.

Well aside from Bitcoin on the chart, if I'm also asked which currency I'll jump my assets then I'd probably said JPY.
