Team Liquid retires matumbaman, a pos 1 player. Topson is pos 2 player. I do not know if there will be reshuffling of role in Team Liquid, but there is none, Topson will not fit because he has the same position as micke. They will have conflict. Do you think that Topson will give way to Micke and play pos 1 or micke will play pos 1 to give way for topson. Topson is  top player but he does not fit to what Team Liquid needs right now.


Obviously, RTZ has more experience but Crystallis is young and upcoming. With proper guidance, he can be a top tier player. If I am to choose for the future of the team, I will retain Crystallis.

New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks (15-5) will visit Madison Square Garden to have a match against New York Knicks (10-11). Both teams come from good win. The Bucks against the Mavs and Knicks against the Pistons. Bucks will still play without their star Khris Middleton. The Bucks are favored @1.43 and New York Knicks odds @2.95.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia Sixers

The Cleveland Cavaliers (13-8) will try to extend their home winning streak to 5 as they go against the Philadelphia 76ers (12-9) today. The Cavs are favored @1.60 while the 76ers odds @2.40. Philadelphia will still miss the service of James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.

Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

The Miami Heat (10-11) will visit the Boston Celtics (17-4) today. Key injuries for the Heat are Jimmy Butler (knee), Tyler Herro (ankle) and Max Strus (shoulder). The heat is underdog @4.40 while the Celtics are favored @1.23.

Well, they cannot trade Lebron just yet, he recently signed an extension worth millions with the Lakers and I think the Lakers plan to get their return as from that extension as much as possible. As pointed out before, Lebron's value with the Lakers is past beyond what he can give in the court. He is an attraction to NBA and the Lakers get a lot of money from him if they play in their homecourt. Last year, even though they did not make it to the playoffs, they still netted a lot of income, thanks to the sale Lebron generated for them. So, though they are not winning, he is still profitable to the Lakers organization.


They are on a rebuilding process; they do not have much of a star that the other teams have and yet they are winning. If they are hit by injury, their system will fail since they do not have much stars to begin with. But you have to give them credit for having a system that works against star-filled teams. They bring back the good old days of basketball where the game is played as a team and not relying on superstars iso gaming or hero ball. They are fun to watch. If this system is sustained, they will be very strong once their roster is complete with stars/superstars that will work with the system they have.

That is actually good if they are going to retain Crystallis. He is a good fit to the team and in the short period that this young guy is with the team, they have achieved a lot. They have reached the finals of TI 2022, which is no small feat. Though they did not win the TI, coming from Last Chance Qualifier and finishing #2 in TI is already a great accomplishment. Puppy should keep this team and try again this year. Reso just joined them before the LCQ and they achieved a lot. Maybe they could achieve more if they have more time to play together and develop better chemistry.


It is ashamed that this team is already retiring their roster without winning TI. They are very strong and had very good chance of winning TI before but they always come short in the finals. Faith_bian already had a good run and the only missing from his collection is a TI championship with PSG.LGD.

I wonder what PSG.LGD team will look like this coming DPC season.

That is a lot of games again. I like it when there are lots of game, plenty of games to bet on.

The Lakers will need that win against Portland tomorrow because after that they will be on the road against 500 teams in the east. If they do not win it, they will be on a long losing streak again. I think their next 5 games are against 500 teams.


The problem is when Lebron is inside the court and he tried to control the ball, his teammates become idle until he releases the ball in the last seconds. The ball is stuck in his hands and there is very little rotation. That is bad for the team.

That 2 win was against the Spurs which are below 500 and rebuilding. They lost against the Pacers who is above 500. Now that Lebron is back, I expect that they would have won against Pacers easily, but they blew 17 points lead in the last 9 minutes of the game. They were not able to protect a huge lead, from a team that has AD, WB, and Lebron. And that is because in the 4th quarter, the ball is either stuck on Lebron or WB and they failed to utilize AD. They should do better if they want to beat Bucks, Wizards, Cavs, Raptors, and Sixers on the road.

Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors (11-10) will meet the Dallas Mavericks (9-10) today at American Airlines Center. There is no injuries on both parties. GSW is favorite @1.82 and Dallas @2.04.


Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Portland Trail Blazers (11-9) will face the Los Angeles Clippers (12-9) today. The Clippers will be playing without their superstars Kawhi (ankle), John Wall (Knee) and Paul George (hamstring). Portland is favorite @1.61 and Clippers @2.39

Detriot Pistons vs New York Knicks

The New York Knicks (9-11) will face the Detriot Pistons (5-17) at Little Caesars Arena. Knicks key injuries are Immanuel Quickley (knee). Pistons key injuries are Marvin Bagley III (illness), Bojan Bogdanovic (knee/ankle), Cade Cunningham (shin) and Jaden Ivey (knee). The Pistons are underdog @2.65 and Knicks favored @1.51.

Here is my bet for today:

Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers (13-7) are on the road to meet the Toronto Raptors (10-9) today. The Raptors is riddled with injuries but they were able to win against the Mavs the other day. I am sure they will give Cavs a hard time. The Raptors are favored @1.56 and Cavaliers @2.47

New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder

The New Orleans Pelicans (11-8) will battle it out with Oklahoma City Thunder (8-12). The Pelicans are favored in this game @1.46 while Oklahomay City Thunder @2.75.

Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns (13-6) are on the road against the Sacramento Kings (10-8). The Suns will try to extend their 4-game winning-streak while the Kings are try to win again after Atlanta snapped they 7-game winning streak. Sacramento Kings odds @1.92 and Phoenix Suns odds @1.93.

Key injuries for the Suns: Jae Crowder, Cam Johnson  (knee), and Chris Paul (heel).

Faze was able to win the next round and extend the map to overtime after this round. For me, the best play for jabbi was in round 34 when he was jump peaking and fragging 3 faze members in the process. After that round, Heroic ended the game 19-16 in the next round.

Broky's best round was round 20 in inferno with just a deagle. 3 Faze members was down and Heroic was still full members with full health. Heroic made the mistake of rushing broky, and armed with just a deagle, he used the fountain as cover and cleared Heroic. That was an epic turn around, costing Heroic their eco while boosting Faze. Even with just this round, Broky deserves to get the MVP award.


Faze already have a great year but for some reason, they failed to win lately. They are shaky and inconsistent some times and some other time, they are fragging consistently and very confident.

My first online bet was on Plinko. I think it was introduced to me by a friend. I do not remember which gambling site it was but there are free sats or faucets that I used to play the game. I never won any, I always lost. I got disappointed with that game and just stopped it. I do not really lose any money because I used the faucet to get something I can use to bet on it. It was a good past time but sometimes frustrating since I do not really win.

Later on, I discovered sports betting and that is when I fall in love with gambling online. I never looked back to casino games anymore. I can easily bet on my favorite teams or sports without even having to get up from my chair. It is very easy and convenient. That is why most people get easily addicted to online gambling.

It is not shocking at all. Heroic has been performing quite steadily and consistently in the past few tournaments. So, I am not surprised that they were able to pull a win today in the Finals against Faze. There is also the advantage of the crowd heavily cheering them on while they are playing. That gives the players unique advantage.

Also, Faze has not been consistent for a while now. They were early exit in RIO and they were shaky against NIP yesterday. So, I believe Heroic have a big chance that they can win against them.

Broky deserved the MVP award for this tournament. He was a monster and consistently fragging for Faze. He saved many rounds for Faze so it is fitting that he gets the award.

That was a hail mary bet for me and in my mind, I might lose the bet, but I trusted the remaining players of the 76ers will be able to handle Orlando. And they did not fail me. Even without their starters, they still performed to the highest level, and I was glad because that made my parlay win. A good start for the week for me.

Congratulations on your bet as well!


I read somewhere that Anthony Edwards is not happy with the Timberwolves since they acquired Gobert. Maybe that is a factor to their current situation right now.


Nice win, congratulations! It is a perfect way to start the week.

He must be livid. It is very expensive to maintain a PBA team and all of his teams not going to the playoffs is really bad. But there is nothing he can do. Injuries happen.

But for us, it is good. We have been asking for a different franchise entering in the finals, and this is an opening. If MVP teams are out, then there is no more MVP vs SMC teams on the finals. It might be SMC vs another team, maybe the Dragons this time. It is a good change.

Hopefully it is the Bay Area Dragons versus non-SMC team in the finals, but I think that is too much to ask. Magnolia and Ginebra is quite strong this conference and we cannot count out San Miguel. Once June Mar is back in full health, they will be a monster again. Just in time for the semis or finals.

I got to admit, I never know Pacquiao before the big fights in the US against big Mexican names, so I am clueless whether this is true or not. But Padilla is also a big name in the Philippines as a boxing referee. So, I do not think that he will sully his name if there is no truth about it. I think he is just coming out clean after all these years. To think about it, that could have affected the future of Pacquiao if he lost that fight. He is still a hard fighter but if he lost that he could have lost a lot of opportunity including maybe moving up and having fights in the US.

Anyway, that is in the past now. Pacquiao is now a legend, and that blow will not tarnish his name.

Here are my bets for today :

Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards

Boston Celtics (15-4) is hosting the Washington Wizards (10-9). The Celtics has to play without their star Jayson Tatum today because of ankle injury. The Wizards are very defensive team so Brown and Smart will have to be very creative in making their shots. The Celtics are favored @1.25 and the Wizards @3.60.

Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers

The Orlando Magic (5-14) will try to break their losing streak against the Philadelphia 76ers (10-9). Philadelphia is favorite @1.95 while Orlando magic sits @2.20

Milwaukee Bucks vs Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks (9-9) are on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks (13-5). The Mavs are on a 3 game losing streak and have lost 4 of their last 5 games. Bucks key injuries are Serge Ibaka (illness), Joe Ingles (knee) and Khris Middleton (wrist). Milwaukee sits at odds of @1.40 and the Mavs @3.05.

Congratulations to HEROIC for winning the Blast Premier: Fall Finals 2022

Heroic have come out on the top against the giant in CS, Faze. Faze had an amazing year but they failed in RIO and now they failed to clinch the Finals against the young HEROIC team. The last map was epic and for a moment I thought that Faze have a chance to snatch the victory from behind. First half was all Heroic on CT side, ending in 11-4. But when they switched sides, Faze also demonstrated the best defense and was able to obliterate the big lead of Heroic on the first half. Faze forced an overtime but then Heroic just have the bigger desire for the championship. Thanks to the heroic of Jabbi, they were able to close the game 19-16. Heroic failed to raise the trophy in RIO but they did not disappoint this time. They won it with finesse.

Faze was able to tie the series. They have good T side against Heroic. Heroic won that side with just a round against Faze but after the switch, Faze totally dominated. The defense of Faze in Inferno is just solid. Heroic cannot win rounds twice in a row. The best round was on round 20 when Faze was on 2 v 5 and Heroic rushed B and rain made an epic defense with a deagle behind the fountain. He got 3 kills and completed the defense. That was very unlikely for Heroic. They are ahead already and should have won that round. Faze have shown why they pick that map. They gave Heroic a clinic.

Next map is Mirage.

Same thoughts. Faze has been shaky this year and that win in Nuke was lucky. It was their pick and they almost got beaten in it. They were lucky they are strong in CT side and was able to overcome 7 rounds deficit, forced an overtime and win in the end.

On the other hand, Heroic is performing consistently. They finished second in RIO and that is a big achievement. I guess they continued their streak here and hopefully they will be able to finish BLAST with the trophy.

I will be betting on heroic the win this game. They are underdog with odds @2.08 while Faze is @1.70. Not a bad odd to bet on.

Pacers will be a test for them. Pacers is currently #4 at the East with a decent defense rating. The Lakers will at least experience some resistance against the Pacers. If they can defeat this team, the Lakers can prove they at least have something going on that can compete against stronger team. The Lakers amass some wins lately because they are against weaker and bottom teams.  The Pacers are the first strong team they are against after they started winning and with Lebron in the roster. We will see how they will fair. They have a day's rest so they should be able to play with full power. While the Pacers will be on a back-to-back game.


They have a series of people in injury list so maybe that is the reason they are in a losing streak. They are unmanned on a rebuilding process, so it is understandable that they will lose. Maybe when all the players are back from injuries, they can continue their streak.

Small amount or big, maybe that money is the amount he cannot afford to lose that is why he is so disappointed in losing and decided to stop betting altogether. That is a good decision because he should not be betting if he is not in the right state of mind. Maybe someday he will come back and will share something successful next time.


This is a good advice. Alas, not every gamble is able to follow it though. Sometimes, we are tempted to bet even the money that we really needed because we have a very good odd or the team is almost unbeatable. But like you said, nothing is 100% sure in gambling. Sometimes, even the most favorite loses due to turn of events in the game. Sometimes the underdogs get some lucky breaks that put them the win. It is just unpredictable sometimes. SO, gamblers much strictly follow this advice.

It is now the fourth quarter and Ginebra snatched the lead from Northport. It is still a close game though. Ginebra has always proven that they can win on a Sunday, and they are very energetic entering the fourth quarter so I also do not have a doubt that they could win this game. They lead by 8 points, but they cannot go easy. They need to push hard until the last second.

We know Bolick can be very creative in creating points. Northport could still catch up and make a comeback.
