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.

That's one thing, if there's already that thought built on our minds, we don't care who's gonna care to us but one important matter is we're gambling no matter what.

This is a terrible thing when a gambler does this so that he/she can gamble. Let's take the reality that many does this and many of those didn't result well. They think that they can win somebody's money and will just have to casually return it and take the profit out of it and boom, they're out of the debt that they've taken and easily got money from gambling. Nope, that's not the easiest solution and many have been f'ed up with it.

Two reasons why these leaders are always running during the elections;

1. They have a genuine heart to serve their people.
2. Just some intention if ever they win, they have a personal interest that will be easier to fulfill on that position.

Well, we're all grown ups and we do know that some of these leaders are up for their personal interests. I am not ignoring those genuine leaders that has their genuine heart ready to help their people, these are the type of leaders that are not heartless. I do see some points that there's this genuine leader but because of the people that are surrounding him, he's being taken away to the heart of service and change their route into serving a few for the benefit of himself and those that have pulled him away to the people.

We're living on this world and its era where nobody gives an F to nobody. That's why people do gamble no matter what situation he's in, a gambler will be one. There is a bad result on this one that whether we're a gambler, we'd still remain a gambler and if we've got nothing to gamble anymore, that's where crimes will enter. It's sad that people resort with that option because they've been addicted and that's the reason who's engaged in gambling to protect yourself by having your self control and also by providing yourself. If you can't gamble with any of your money then at least also please don't gamble with others money.

We're seeing the setup coming from all of those Bitcoin ETF applications. There's now a massive buyoff that's happening and if you don't have an idea where all these demands are coming from, the majority of it comes from whoever applied these Bitcoin ETFs.
While the retail traders and investors should just come on what's happening right now, whenever most of these applications becomes approved. I think that we're going to see a massive rally which could land to a price that we're not expecting.

I wouldn't call it crazy if it gets $800k, not unreal could be realistic but this is why I like bitcoin. Full of surprises, if it dumps, certainly gonna make everyone upset. But if it pumps, it goes to the price that we've never expected during the bull run.

If you're the type of investor that's diversifying and able to have both gold and bitcoin, there's certainly no need to think of which you should hold. These are both good investments but with limited budget and funds for investments, I'll choose to have what I've known being better and that's bitcoin. While we see the institutional drive that's happening in bitcoin, this is like still a fresh market for them. And they do understand that being one of the earliest and first on this market will give them dominance and advantage and that's what they're taking from investing in Bitcoin. In gold, those who are also early on that game are surely making their profits easily.

@pmemorex, you're saying that you're expert in investing in crypto and you can help people with such? Then why you even made a thread that you've been scammed?

First of all OP, you posted on the wrong section. This section is visible and labelled as gambling discussion so you shouldn't post topics like that if it is irrelevant to the board. Secondly, this is like an easy story that can be made up. I am sorry if that's what I am thinking of your story. But if the story tends to be true then I am wrong with my thought. As we go outside, you know that everyone is striving hard to get on their shoes and have a better life. If you're just shopping out and talking loudly about your investments and suddenly a stranger comes out and joins your discussion, it is inappropriate to have that reaction of being too open with the topics you're discussing. What if that guy is just pretending to be the owner of that restaurant where you're eating because anyone can easily claim that? And it turns out that guy had already sighted you hours ago or days ago because you've exposed yourself that you're also into Bitcoin. Please be aware of the dangers of discussing things like this on public because of this very known attack: $5 Wrench Attack

Yeah, it's the biggest prize pool that a tournament will ever held and take note that this isn't even a part of a DPC tournament so no DPC points for the participants. But I guess, this is a good thing that there is this type of tournament so everyone can qualify for the tournament and whoever is gonna be invited on this prestigious tournament. And talking about this city, Saudi Arabia is trying to make their country the center of esports and it's a good investment for sure on their end because they know that the esports industry is a big market that they can take advantage for their tourism and also could be a place for these organization to be their main country for their headquarters.

Well, if you've been into esports and watches a lot. Every tournament, event and competitions are held in different countries so there's no far place from these teams, players, organizations and managements. I think it's not about how many people in their country are interested in esports but it's about attracting esports tournaments to be held on their country and get more of the tourism sector and as well as rent for the events place itself.

I'm hoping that I can go there and just be an observer someday but I don't know when exactly it will happen. I think when this is done, they'll put ease to the tourists that has this specific purpose of going there. Hopefully, that they'll like some special process on the tourists who's got that definite purpose of landing to their country.

I'm optimistic on this because it's the entire esports and this isn't just going to be for the Dota 2 but also other esports that's being competitive in the scene.

This is painful for the Old G, I guess that they should just give up this team. Isn't it that they've taken a slot by another team for them to be back in division 2?

If that happens that other countries invests and do the same thing as what Saudi Arabia is about to do, it's a win for the esports industry. Many will keep on pursuing their esports career even not a main player but just a support staff or with the back end type of jobs. The hype on every tournament is actually very good and noticeable and those crowd shouts aren't just for the typical sports but also in esports.

Everyone, aren't you hype with this news or did you already see the good news about having an Esports City in Saudi Arabia?

• A mega esports city is coming to Riyadh soon
• Saudi Arabia announces building $500 million "esports city" project in Riyadh

It's gonna be a worth $500M city for building this place. That's a lot of money for the Saudi Arabia to build this but I think that the crowned prince has got the influence on why this has made. If anyone still haven't seen it yet, the prince has always been trending when there's the battle pass for Dota 2.
