I have watched some action in the SEA today. The TNC and Blacklist. What a game. Map 2 was a disaster for the Blacklist.

That was a very one sided game and looks an easy game for the TNC. Didn't expect that it will be a 2-0 for this series, as I've thought that it might be 2-1.

Team Bald Reborn vs PSG.Quest now and Gorc has a chance to actually qualify further because he had a great team behind team to actually win this series.

I also have a feeling if PSG.Quest will fail to qualify for TI , the sponsorship with PSG will end and quest might disband right after...because there are some voices in CIS region who are saying Quest are match fixers and don't deserve to have such a sponsor...

He has great team yeah but I personally think he is not good enough to carry the team. Saberlight joining Team Bald Reborn is literally one the most unexpected things to happen in a pro scene considering how good he was and he is currently only 23 years old

Their chances are slim, not gonna lie. There are only two slots for WEU region and there are tons of top teams in this region so its going to be harsh. Anyway, I was actually thinking of betting on Nigma to win -1.5 on their next game but bookies put them on 1.22 lol. Its so weird that bookies still consider them as favourites

[passwordnow]

And speaking of Blacklist International, I've bet against them and will go with TNC Predator on this match with the same odds for my bet on OG @ 2.70 odds.

Alright, I'm happy that I was able to bet on TNC for this match and they're able to close the series with a 2-0. I don't want to say anything but as usual when it's gg, it's this "too ez for TNC".

Another sad day for Filipino Dota 2 fans. Both Blacklist International and TNC Predator are facing the lower bracket. It's tough time for Filipino Dota 2 fans with both Blacklist International and TNC Predator struggling in the lower bracket. The competition must be intense and being in the lower bracket means they have to fight even harder to stay in the tournament. I'm hoping Blacklist can turn things around and make a strong comeback. But as Filipino either of these two qualifying for The International is okay for me.

Yeah, it's like those are the two teams that everyone is counting for. And this is part of another history that Abed won't be able to participate this upcoming TI. Too many teams and players that used to participate it won't be participating it this year.

Somehow PSG.Quest managed to defeat Team Bald but they had problems in map 1 right ? and I think Nigma Galaxy will defeat them and also secure a spot for TI because it's been too long since we had Miracle at TI and same goes for Kuroky.

My predictions for Western Qualifiers are that Entity and Nigma will actually secure both spots and leave teams like Tundra , Secret and and OG home.

I watched the highlights of that series, and it didn't look like they were struggling except for their carry Vengeful dying most of the time which was fine since she had the scepter upgrade.

We'll see if they can break the H2H streak later today, the last time they beat them was during the DPC. As much as I want to believe in Nigma Galaxy I still think they'll fall short in the further rounds(lower semis or final).

Alright, I'm happy that I was able to bet on TNC for this match and they're able to close the series with a 2-0. I don't want to say anything but as usual when it's gg, it's this "too ez for TNC".

Congrats on your TNC bet. I guess that's the end for Blacklist, as I remember their CEO mentioned disbanding their Dota team if they fail to qualify for TI.

[sunsilk]

Me either.

There's so much experience of Nigma Galaxy in terms of playing and their past but it's different today. The meta has changed a lot and PSG.Quest has the upperhand here.

Maybe they will not even going to make it to the next round against Quest. But who knows, this is still on them and how they'd be playing later. So, still good luck to them.

Some CS2 news in the middle of all the dota2 & league rumblings for the tournaments and qualifiers.
G2 Esports bench one of their best players Nexa for recent downward trajectory of his performance.

Here is a player profile of one of CounterStrike's most well known players for along time in the CS scene:

I think yes for Blacklist that they'll disband soon but it's still gonna depend on their CEO and orgs decision if they want to continue with their journey even if they're on the lose of funds. While I've won with my bet on TNC and they've won again for their match today. My bet with OG and Entity has lost. It was so close, the game was so close but that's fine. It was a nice game and there's no Ceb in there as he's needing to take on emergency with his family, immersion stand-in.

This is the kind of games that we want to see. A close game and I thought that OG would win on the last map but then, a single mistake. A die back from Enigma on the last clash and he has no blackhole because he used it to storm twice and then the storm just bought back. What a game, really indeed.

It was expected for this to happen for quite a while because Nexa proved that he is not on G2 level to display high CS2 and it was a wise decision to bench him but also inform him to look for a new team. Rumors are that MaldsMD will actually replace him and if that is true , I think it's another wise decision from G2 management to make this team great again.

I also won't be surprised if Hooxi will leave the team as well because his IGL role seems to slowly shifting toward Niko and Hooxi is not capable of making a lot of frags per game and that will cost G2 victories.

Hot games and matches are happening in the SEA qualifiers.

Execration just beat Prism Esports. And now, what currently is fighting TNC Predator and Bleed Esports. Whoever loses, loses the chance to go to TI too.

This is on the lower bracket and after this match, the upper bracket for the slot will happen. Aurora Esports and Talon Esports.

Exciting times indeed.

TNC won against Bleed eSports! I'm surprised by what TNC is doing right now. I didn't expect that they could win that match 2-0. My expectation was that TNC would lose because they were playing against Emo and Jacky, two of the best mid-laner and carry players I know. Now, TNC will face Execration in another elimination round tomorrow, and since both teams are Filipino, I want TNC to win because I want to see them again in The International. I will be surprised if Execration eliminates TNC, but I'm still hoping that whichever team wins can eliminate either Talon or Aurora. Abat really improve.

I've watched the series.

Map 2 was a good game, to be honest. I think that if Bleed did just respected the ban of Yowe's zeus, they'll have easier time for it.

And Emo was too greedy on both maps. His playing style didn't fit with his teammates. Still, ggs to both teams.

[ralle14]

I'm surprised that Ceb still played with OG, but unfortunately, they're still eliminated by Navi Juniors. I thought they'd at least reach the LB final if OG played this series, I guess that's what happens when their mid player is kind of struggling.

On the other hand, Entity is the first team to qualify in the WEU region and while map three was ongoing, I managed to grab their live odds around 1.80. The Grimstroke and Bane support was more than enough for me to take their side.

Congratulations to them, Entity participated last year and they're going to TI again this year. Watson is really promising and a consistent player. AFAIK, he's got the highest MMR so far.

While with their offlane, DM, he's with OG last time and he seems to be doing well with them and they've found their chemistry together. IIRC, their offlane last year was Gabbi as they've tested him and they did have a good run.

This is how started into Esports as well.
First with CounterStrike as it got me more interested in the FPS genre.
Then from there moved on to the top down view of WarCraft style games such as DOTA2 and League of Legends.
I think Valorant is the next level in the FPS genre but it still hasn't been too well received yet.
There are some networks trying to get it out to more venues but I believe CS2 is just too popular to dethrone it just yet.
