Today's games

Matches :

1. Ence v/s Avangar
This is going to be a really close one. Ence will choose Mirage or Train and Avangar will be choosing Dust2 as their respective map picks. Ence looked really strong yesterday against G2 and should give a strong fight unlike their initial matches in this tournament. With the last map probably being Train or Overpass, I see Ence as the winner.

Pick : Total Matches - More than 2.5
          Winner - Ence
2. Faze v/s Cloud9
Matchup none of us wished to see. Faze has been out of form lately and been shaky. After yesterday's match against Complexity, I doubt if they can show up a great performance today.
Pick : Winner - Cloud9

3. NiP v/s Vitality
This match is going to be a really brutal one since in my opinion, both the teams deserve to be in the quarterfinals. I love NiP and personally want them to qualify but if ZywOO wakes up today, he can rekt them single-handedly. I will keep discussion and predictions open for this matchup

[PryptoMontreal]

Unexpectedly Avangar went ahead to choose Mirage, which if seen statistically is a ballsy move. They must have chosen Mirage considering the fact that Ence hasn't performed well on Mirage this tournament, losing to Renegades and Winstrike during Challengers stage.

Ence picked Train which is their best map and should be an easy win unless they mess up really bad. Avangar struggled on Train against Navi in their last match.
 Last map Overpass is 50-50 win chance for both the teams. I feel Avangar should have gone for Dust 2 as a safer pick, Mirage as a pick might bring them down to lose and elimination by straight 2-0

I really like Ninjas in Pajamas to really win this round against vitality even though Vitality is in a Rank 7 position and had a winning rate of 76% I really think they had a chance now that ZywOo is not around But if I am wrong about this and ZywOo can play then I don't know what's gonna happen with NiP and what is Lekr0's strategy against them, Well at least they will have a chance in winning against Team Vitality, I surely like what Ninjas in Pajamas had in them and that is why my bet is in them, even though the odds are not with and they only had a winning rate of 63% I surely become their supporters the moment I see them play

What platform do you place your e-Bets?

I really like how Lekr0 handle his team right now but I don't think that they are winning this series but who knows, I like underdogs too

I haven't played or watch a tournament matches lately. I'm sure this match will be amazing to watch and at the same time you can also earn money. Are there any odds on betting a team you decided to place bet?.

Holy cow CSGO still has tournys. Wow. Where would one bet on these?

I place my bets on Sportsbet and have had a smooth experience with them. I've been using their sportsbook for more than a year now.

Last night's NiP's performance was amazing, Dennis showed up in Mirage and gave NiP a headstart and winning lead of 14:1
NiP needs to carry forward the momentum as their quarter-finals game is against Astralis and all odds will be against the Ninjas. If Dennis steps up just like yesterday, it could go to a 3-map series. Else if Dennis sticks to the BOTmode, Astralis' gonna crush them :p

You can place bets and check odds on any famous sportsbook. I use Sportsbet CS:GO betting can turn in nice profits if you have proper knowledge of game and teams. Generally each team has a strong map and a weak map. Considering the stats, you can always make a safe bet.

A major upset for me was Cloud9's lose. Olofmeister had a major hand in Faze's win, the amount of high impact entry frags he got on T-side of Dust 2 were insane, especially towards B-site, he got Faze more than 4 rounds by straight away one tapping the B anchor. Amazing.
Faze v/s Navi is going to be a thriller with Faze returning back in form!

I want NIP to win a major again! get_right take my energy uuuwuu

Congrats on your win. With the quarterfinals starting from 28th, I'll be posting a lot more pre-match predictions and discussions, keep following and winning. Good luck mate.

As of eSports, I'll be posting predictions for only for CS:GO. I am planning to participate in the discussion over NBA bettings starting with today's matches. You can follow them over here.

I managed to get a bet win on Avangar earlier in the contest, surprise over G2 who did awful the entire time they were there from what I saw.   The bet I took required team but also fantasy players pick to get a total score and give a payout.     I can refer anyone who wants a free bet for CSGO games, its a new site specialising in just esports and in crypto - Herosphere

ZywOO wakes up today, he can rekt them single-handedly.

I have no idea what the hype was about, guess I had to watch closer.  Bit of a shame as I used to be a big fan of the French teams and NBK + company


I've been betting everything in my inventory on games going back to lounge and all the others sites that came and went, if anyone ever wants to discuss always interested even after the major

[leowonderful]

Been watching the entire tournament so far, C9 went out before the quarterfinals as I expected, as did Vitality. I was honestly pretty surprised Vitality went as far as going 2-3 considering the team as a whole looked pretty shaky on multiple occasions, but we're past that now.

As for a few of the New Champions stage matches, I'm picking Liquid and Renegades over Ence and MIBR respectively. Liquid's been running through every team they've been going up against recently and nearly every player on the team's had at least one match popping off; I don't see why things would be different this time around. Odds seem pretty good for a medium-to-low bet (still a bit risky) on Renegades over MIBR, even though MIBR's looking a bit stronger than RNG IMO. Definitely isn't out of the question that Renegades wins maybe 2-1 over MIBR.

[STT]

My picks for this game was Navi over faze with flamie electronic and s1mple for top player picks however that might be a bit too cliche a pick to come off.    Its quite ironic a match for guardian vs his old team and he is probably highly motivated to pull that vistory over his past off.    Niko + his old teammate ynk as coach, possibly I'm under rating them on the team work front which would be fatal considering the quality of players any one of them can deliver



Anyone want a free buy in on the next games, ^^ click my ref link if you want it.  I'm pretty sure they also allow fantasy bet type involvement but also this gives a free buy for a proper payout.  Interested in whether people think  NiP can pull this off one last time perhaps but I reckon Liquid over Ence is a good bet

[edgycorner]

What do you think about MiBr vs ren? I am thinking of picking ren for Map 2.

[Maotezi]

Great salutation to everyone who follows the events, and I just have to add that I'm waiting for a diamond coin, Only Astralis wins.

That's such a choke by Renegades by going doing from 11-4 half to 12-16 loss. MiBR crushed their T-side with just 1 round going their way. I had put some mBTCs on stake over Renegades which turned out into a disappointing loss.

[leowonderful]

Extremely disappointing performance from Renegades against MIBR, it is what it is in the end though. Especially disappointing on the first map which was D2 imo, considering only jks was above 80 ADR in the match with Gratisfaction coming in second with just 62.4. Still made good money on my bet for Ence to win against Liquid (though I did not expect Ence to win 2-0 against Liquid) though, odds were very nice on HLTV/CSGOFast if you were gambling with skins.
