If they had Heroic as their opponent in the final stage then I think Heroic would have been the winner of the tournament.
It would have been a tough final but yes if Heroic would have made it into the finals then I also think that after a tough fight Heroic would have emerged as IEM Dallas winners.
Anyway now off to another CS tournament that is about to kick off tomorrow- Blast Spring Final [1]. Vitality vs Imperial and then G2 vs Cloud 9 is tomorrow's fixture in Group A. Vitality vs Imperial should be an easy win for Vitality given their run of form but G2 vs Cloud 9 is a tough fixture. Both G2 and Cloud9 finished poorly in IEM Dallas and will be hoping to start things strong in the Blast now. Reference:

ENCE was the winner in the final of the IEM Dallas tournament.Although the first map was mirage chosen by MOUZ, mouz could not win this map and started the final match with a 1-0 defeat.It was a match in which sunpayus showed extra performance and dexter played badly again.We can easily see this in terms of the overall score.There is a decline in the team due to the fact that dexter is mouz's player and I think they should change players as soon as possible. The second map was nuke and again it was a map where the ence team won by doing the team game well and they became champions by defeating mouz 2-0 in the final.Sunpayus reached a good rating throughout the tournament. ENCE dominated in the final and I am not surprised by the result. I was actually surprised when MOUZ reached in the finals after defeating Heroic. Well anyway I thought of it as a fluke and well it turned out to be right as ENCE showed pure domination in the finals over MOUZ. All players of ENCE were having a good time in the game and had their respective moments while MOUZ were just clueless. When the team's awper plays well, we can say that it is generally easier to win matches.But when we look at device's rating 2.0 by far, we can say that it is not enough for only awper to play well, assuming that the overall team is not good, although it is 1st.
Well it's not the case everytime. I have seen matches where s1mple, Zywoo had displayed some spectacular plays but despite that they have lost their matches. It's a team game and the impact from every player matters. Sometimes impact from one player is enough and sometime it is not. For a consistent form it is better to have everyone finding some impact inside the game. |

The most reliable football transfer source Fabrizio Romano just confirmed a few minutes ago that Brighton's Mac Allister is moving to Liverpool with personal terms already reached between Liverpool and the player. I think it is a great signing for Liverpool, they had a pretty bad season, and that's why they are starting their transfer business pretty early. Mac Allister will greatly improve their midfield, just as he did in Brighton and does for Argentina. I think Mac Allister is just the beginning in order to restore the midfield. Fabrizio also reported that there are more names on the list like Manu Kone, Kephren Thuram, Gabri Veiga [1]. I think that Liverpool are planning to sign lot of players and hence they are taking things fast here. Mac Allister is a great signing and that really makes the Liverpool midfield solid but they still need more options in midfield. I am glad that board are now listening to Klopp and signing some players to strengthen the squad. What do you guys think about this move, both for Liverpool and the player himself?
I think the move is perfect for Liverpool. Remember that there were strong interests of Liverpool on Bellingham and Bellingham has established himself as kind of a modern midfielder with everything in terms of defensive and offensive attribute. As for Mac Allister, I feel he is a player who was too much underrated until the World Cup and he is kinda similar to Bellingham in midfield. Although he might play a bit different but I get the feeling that he is kind off similar to Bellingham. So if you ask me how good it is for Liverpool, then I will say it is perfect and a very very smart move keeping the budget in mind especially when you think that they were going for Bellingham at one point. As for Mac Allister, he is now representing a great team and chance to improve himself under Klopp and is a very crucial step in his career. There will be pressure on him, but he has to take those chances in order to progress. Reports are that it will be contract until 2028, so he has good amount of time at Liverpool here.

Yeah it seems like Kai Havertz is Real Madrid's top target and I am very much surprised after reading this news. I wonder how Ancelotti is actually planning to use him. The only thing that comes up in mind is to use Havertz like the way Chelsea used i.e as false 9. The formation that Madrid usually uses has no space for attacking mid-position where Havertz himself very comfortable in. That really leaves me wondering on what are Ancelotti plans actually.  Chelsea is reported to be looking for a good amount, at least are looking to get the value they paid to get him which was around 80m Euro so its gonna be somewhat near 80-90m Euro mark for Madrid to actually get Havertz from Chelsea done. |

Manager Carlo Ancelotti has told Real Madrid's board he wants to sign Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane, 29. After the departure of Benzema, it is obvious that Real urgently needs an experienced and effective striker. Will the clubs come to an agreement? Harry Kane is a good target and I think he will do same like Benzema there. Might have a bit problem adjusting but he is gonna do great. The space left by Benzema is huge and Real Madrid need someone experienced and Kane seems like a perfect piece. Roberto Firmino was also one name that was reported to be discussed [1] so chances of Firmino is also possible. Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal hope to announce the signing of Paris St-Germain and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, on 6 June. Will Messi really opt for a rich football retirement in Saudi Arabia? Season has yet to end properly so I will wait and see how the other clubs proceeds him once the season actually ends. I think he is not in rush to make any decision so I feel he is gonna take his time and make a decision carefully. It's gonna take some time. Tottenham and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, 36, says it is the "end of an era" and hopes to find "a project where I thrive" amid links with a move away from the club. If so, where will he start the new era?  Its quite difficult to say. There were some links with French club Nice but they already have another good goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel so I have doubts about move to Nice. I will say its gonna be a French club where he moves next. The chance to play Champions League football has proven key in Chelsea and England midfielder Mason Mount's decision to join Manchester United over Liverpool. This bad season will cost Liverpool dearly.
Mount to United is still far from 100% as Chelsea has valued him at least 80m Euro and United certainly wants to negotiate further as they think its a bit too much [2]. I would say United are gonna drag this as they dragged Sancho and Anthony deals earlier. When United is given a big price tag for a player, United always have been like this and try to negotiate and lower the fee as much as according to them.

Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?
Well there are other sites as well where those countries are not banned, so why not play there? There are lot of options around. That option might not be as better as you usually use but at least you can have the gambling experience if you are away. Everything has its pros and cons and VPN has that too. One might use it in order to make the site accessible when he is away but lot of gamblers use it to play while in restricted zone, there are some who continuously try to abuse the Bonus that casino offers, some try to play in the casino while they are banned, even some of them are hackers too. I think nowadays the gamblers are just abusing it and casino has to defend themselves there. In regards to your question, I personally try to play in casinos where I am allowed and luckily there are lot of reputed casinos that allow my zone so I don't have to worry about using VPN while using a casino or a sportsbook platform. About the "block & confiscate", I agree with blocking since its the service they are providing and they can do anything with the account but I don't like that idea of confiscating at all. Any casino confiscating deposit (not profit) is just scamming their users in the name of TOS ( avoid such casinos). |

As a senior who is still active and continues to be part of AC Milan, he doesn't want to rush into retirement. Indeed, he is very old and an ideal player in a club, but with his current form, he is still quite decent. There is a bit of a record of him being sidelined a lot due to injury, so I think AC Milan needs to look at options at a later date. Because after all Milan performance without a senior like Ibrahimovic looks quite imperfect. Its confirmed that he is gonna leave AC Milan as reported by Romano [1]. He has been sidelined due to injury for a long time and I can understand AC Milan not choosing to renew his contract as he is getting old and he is more injury prone now. Club has assessed this very carefully and had made this decision. AC Milan feels like they can still do with Oliver Giroud and Divock Origi. With the way Saudi Clubs are going on right now in trying to leap the big football names we had, I feel like he is gonna have some big offers from Saudi Clubs for sure. Zlatan Ibrahamovic is a big name and they will put a good offer on a table before him. Question is will he take it (such big offers from Saudi clubs if he gets)? Next coming days/months will be very much crucial for Zlatan to assess his options.

Gündoğan scored the second goal for Man City in the 51st minute.
Early second goal from Gundogan just going into the second half has truly changed the game. City seems to be dominating right now in the second half and United have yet to find a way against the City's defense and find some shots on goal. I think City has got this right now if things goes like this. If it goes on like this then I feel City will be the one finding the third goal and the game is done for. As for Gundogan, he has been so much reliable for City in this season. I also like the fact that Guardiola has given him the full license to go into the opponents box and take on attempts. He has found so many goals just by taking part into the attacking role. As Fabrizio Romano earlier said in his tweet [1], Gundogan is very much underrated.

We all know what Karim Benzema has done for Real Madrid. A man can play only a few matches badly and if he plays a few matches badly he will be dropped from the team. Karim Benzema himself is interested in staying with Real Madrid for one more season, hoping that Real Madrid will honor his interest. Many say that because of his age, Real Madrid may leave him, but age is not a fact. He will definitely do well for Real Madrid and hopefully a good decision will come out of his meeting with Real Madrid tonight. And I also want Karim Benzema to stay at Real Madrid for one more season.
He has come out and has denied all those rumour about him leaving Madrid and join Saudi club. With the form he is right now, it is hard to say he is struggling at Madrid or age is getting better off him and is affecting his performance. He is settled at Madrid and I don't think Madrid has given any reason for Benzema to worry. Yeah the offer from Saudi club is really tempting but given the time he has been at Madrid and the love he gets from the fans, I don't think he is gonna move to Saudi club. He is gonna honor the contract and play for Madrid until runs out at least. Maybe next season, move is possible but I would like to seee Benzema end his career at Madrid. |

Sean Dyche successfully saved Everton from the relegation zone, I think he is a suitable coach for Everton for next season, although I also want another coach which is more experienced. But Sean after all, is capable enough to manage Everton, and we have to give him more time. The reason is, also he is only half a season at Everton.
No manager is safe nowadays. Series of bad result and inconsistent performance and board members will start discussing possible sack and start reviewing candidates internally. Sean Dyche definitely has done a good job but it's still a tough one next season. Everton are facing tough times right now and I honestly don't think Sean Dyche will be able to make Everton a consistent team or maybe brink back to days when they used to enjoy at least top 10 table finish. It's a long way but my prediction is that half-way through the next season or maybe even earlier than that, Everton will struggle and they will sack him. |

Looking forward to the G2 vs FaZe match. It's going to be an exciting showdown, and I have a feeling it might be much closer than the odds suggest. While G2 is definitely considered the favorite, I'll be rooting for FaZe. That will be a thrilling match for sure. Both teams have some crazy players like m0NESY (G2) and broky (Faze) who have performed exceptionally for their respective teams and I am excited to see which one of them prevails in their roles. broky had some real clutch moments in Blast Paris Major and he is red hot form right now. Yes G2 are definitely the favourites but I also feel like Faze are very much capable as well. I had seen them making comebacks in some tight situations so it's still anybody's game. I would also be rooting for Faze here as I like their spirit and karrigan who drives his team so well. Just a glimpse of broky from Blast Major: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YSBUQUKE6Vw ( sends chills down my spine  ) For the Astralis vs Mouz match, if Device can bring the same level of performance he displayed in the last two matches, Astralis should have the upper hand. He was an absolute beast in their game against ENCE, with a remarkable rating of 1.51 even though they ended up losing. That's some serious carrying right there. Hope his back doesn't hurt In any case, I'm confident that Heroic will secure their spot in the final, and they might even take home the title. Both Astralis and Mouz just don't seem to be on the same level as Heroic at the moment. Yeah, device has been the man in form for the last few matches for Astralis but I feel others also step in a bit and make it smooth. I am not worried about device much but considering how rest of the team is playing I have doubts on this one. MOUZ also hasn't been in much of a form but they also have some good players. I am rooting in for Astralis here to make a thrilling semifinal with Heroic at least but yeah Heroic should be the one prevailing out and advancing to the finals. |

It's very interesting that the news continues to grow as the transfer window draws near. Regarding Mount, like Erik Ten Hag's interest in him, with a fairly large price tag, it will probably continue to be a top priority because it seems that Man United wants more player options as a backup squad. Yeah with the squad United has right now, it seems hard for Mount to be a regular player for them. Maybe ten Haag has some other plans as Mount is not a type of player to be put down on bench. He can really be useful in midfield. Actually, Kovacic is still quite ideal at Chelsea, but Chelsea clearance process is very simple, namely removing a number of players to pave the way for new players that are being targeted by Pochettino. first. What Manchester City wants for the midfield player remains the same in order to consider more replacement options. I always felt Kovacic as crucial figure in crucial midfield but it seems that they want to restructure now. Lot of changes are gonna happen at Chelsea so I think they would take a bit more time to find their right form in the league. It's a very tough time for a club when lot of changes go all at the same time. - Arsenal are keen on Declan Rice [4] and are planning to open talks after the Conference League Final (which is about 6-7 days).
Apart from Arsenal who are interested in Declan Rice, it turns out that Bayern Munich also did not miss the opportunity where, based on local news, Declan wanted to try a new challenge outside the Premier League, so Bayern Munich made an offer to him. However, these rumors have not been fully confirmed by Declan, after the match against Fiorentina in the Conference League he said he still wants to focus on helping Westham until his contract actually expires in 2024. Bayern are also reported to be interested- Yes, but I expect Declan Rice to choose an English club rather than settling for a club out of England. It's what I feel like so I could be wrong also. There will be some interesting developments further after Conference League final and I am sure there will be more besides Bayern, Arsenal in Declan Rice's race. Also Arsenal are monitoring James Maddison also from relegated Leicester. It is also another interesting name to look onto in this upcoming transfer window. |

Thomas Tuchel tried his best for Bayern Munich and did well for the club by winning the championship in a short time as a coach. The very time he became coach for Bayern Munich is a difficult time that some coaches won't be able to achieve success but with all difficulties he still ended with a good result. If Bayern Munich didnt end up winning Bundesliga I won't have blamed Tuchel because it is not his fault.
With such short amount of time it is tough for any manager and Tuchel still managed Bayern better anyway. Well to be honest he was lucky but I think even if the result would have gone the other way, they wouldn't have put blame on Tuchel. The situation at Bayern wasn't great to begin with when he arrived and Bayern had some tough fixtures with CL games as well so it was tough for Tuchel especially coming after a break of nearly 6 months. |

It has been reported that if mount already reached personal agreement with manchester united.  I expect his transfer to be done by united in early of summer transfer season. Ah Bummer !  , I thought Arsenal might have a chance here but anyway he was inclined towards moving to United anyway. Secondly, United also acted on it when they came to know that Mount favours United a lot. Right now personal terms are agreed then that means only thing to go down is the fee between both the clubs for the transfer of Mount now. If it completes, it will be a great move for United as it will certainly help them in midfield. |
