Yesterday I thought Furia will win for sure against Cloud 9 but it was all a flop show. Cloud 9 totally got them in both maps. They barely gave Furia any moment to find some quick rounds and get a momentum going. That loss has now left them 3 points behind from Gambit who are leading the table.

Sportsbet.io’s very own Southampton FC into the FA Cup semi finals along with Man City, Leicester & Chelsea. I’d love Southampton to win it, would be huge for them. Good they play Leicester in the semis which keeps them away from Man City until a potential final.

Saints vs Foxes and Blues vs Cityzens are a great semifinal fixtures for FA. Southampton did good to defeat Bournemouth and advance but Foxes are playing a great football also. Both teams are having quite some injured players but most of them will return by the time the match day comes. Saints will be boosted with Ings return and Maddison will also return for Leicester. So yeah it will be a quite contest between the two. Saints are playing a great football this season and out of all four teams they are the one less likely to win it. But they have a good team and have the capability to defeat big sides. Saints to win against Leicester is what I predict, after all they have yet to take revenge for the 9-0 defeat they had in last season and kicking Foxes out of FA will be a perfect one for Saints.

Was checking the spreadsheet and the leaderboard in MM page and realized that I actually picked Houston for their game against Rutgers while I posted here Rutgers in selection. Sorry @tyk. Lot of 5 picks up there on leaderboard and we have someone from our pack as well on line to get something.

Next round is gonna be tough as we have to pick O/U points as well and there would be a lot of difference among participants so am looking forward to next one.

Arsenal did a great job coming back from a deficit. It was second time they avoided a loss coming back from deficit. In previous round it was Spurs who lost and now they totally nullified the 3 goal advantage Hammers were enjoying at a point. Arsenal are attacking great and they have been pushing their opponents deep. It is a great sign and would have turned out great if they avoided those early goals today. Nothing can be changed now but Gunners did a great job today.

You won @ralle14. NaVi were so off today with decisions. Well actually they usually are sometimes but today they were so off. They could have lost 2-0 after giving off a 4-5 round lead in Dust 2 to allow Gambit to push the map to OT. Gambit now tops the table with 3 wins but Furia also could be on top of the table if they win against another Brazilian team - Mibr which I think they will.

I got another nice parlay ready for later, what do you guys think ? Is it good enough or will Gambit disappoint. Grin

Gambit is a nice pick and they have shocked NaVi in Katowice but NaVi knows what mistakes they did then and they weren't really happy about it. This match sure serves as a rematch and things won't go down easy. NaVi after falling against Furia will try to change things from here on. Every match is now kinda crucial for them if they need to progress. I might go for O2.5 maps on this one.

BTW Mibr vs Team One went on as expected- O2.5 but have to agree that the map on which Team One won , it was quite close. Mibr almost made a comeback but Team One won some rounds in later stages and won the map.

I was going to place some bets and back FURIA, but then i checked the head-to-head with Navi and i said "nope"...2-0 for Navi in the last three series against the brazilians, not good enough...i'll just keep an eye on the live markets.
MIBR - Team One later today, good game for brazilian fans, quite the borefest for me 😂 quick 2-0 for mibr

These matches are close and better stay away from them rather than betting on them but still FURIA are playing great. 1 map up already but they are down on second map. They have the advantage still so they have quite a time to think about this and make it in third map.

Mibr-Team One I know Mibr are a good team but still there is a part of which says Team One are gonna take at least one map. Mibr is also not the team to give in too easily so I probably might go for O2.5 (not with a big stake tho).

Tottenham's squad is not enough good, yet they perform well enough. They are not defeated by too many goals. Mourinho is a really great coach. He is able to perform well with a team that has almost collapsed. Liverpool has a lot of star players than Tottenham. Yet Liverpool are doing very poorly this season.

I believe its all about timing and performance. Its not about the players they have entirely or who have the better or compare it with the squad value, there are other things as well like strategy and so and so. In Spurs vs Arsenal , Spurs had a 1 goal advantage but their approach of letting Arsenal deep into defence and keep attacking them costed them. It was same with Zagreb, they let them keep on taking the shots. I think there are some approach that needs to be change now inside Spurs.

I would say compared to Mourinho, Klopp is doing things much better. They keep the possession and they keep on attacking. Yeah it sure is hard time for Reds without their main man in defence and their attacking not working as well but they sure are gonna find something if they keep on attacking.

next meatches for tomorrow:
Gambit Esports vs Cloud9 should be an esay match for Gambit
Natus Vincere vs FURIA esports im think Natus will win they play very good the last matches
MIBR vs Team One here its hard to say butt im think MIBR win.

Navi haven't been their best and they have tendency to fall out in middle or give the momentum too easily. And we know FURIA and how well they are with aggression. It would be a very tough contest but I think I am gonna go with FURIA on this one.

As for Mibr vs Team One, both are new teams to me as I haven't seen much of them. It would be a tough contest for sure and since it is hard to pick a winner , I might go for O2.5 on this one.

Game 1: 18’ 3-1 Southampton
Game 2: 29' 2-0 Watford

Gambit vs Mibr was easy match for Gambit but sure mibr did pulled off in 2nd map but Gambit didn't gave them any chance in 3rd map. Navi vs Cloud9 is still ongoing with Navi leading but Navi gave up their momentum and Cloud9 pushed them to OT. Navi are just giving it too easy in middle so not so sure about this one. Cloud9 can still have chance.

So far table C has kicked off as expected but there are still matches today. Furia vs Team One is an easy one. So yeah pretty much boring first day in CS as well.
