ESPORTS - predictions and tips (Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL)

[Jackl87]

1 down for OG after taking down Vikin.gg for a 2-1 victory. There next game is against Nigma which is the biggest threat for them to get the TI slot. If they can beat Nigma tomorrow with an easy victory, I believe the winner on Tundra vs Liquid is just an easy peasy for them. It's good to see Sumail 100% relying now on his teammates. OG just need to clean there drops and avoid a messy drop like they did on Game 1.

OG rally managed to defeat Nigma 2-1 yesterday in a really great series to watch. It's not really surprising that OG are still the favorite team for a lot of people even though they were under performing recently, but they are just very entertaining to watch with drafts that are totally unexpected that are also involving non meta heroes like for example the pick of Chen yesterday. In the 3rd match of the series there were some deciding group fights that OG should have lost but somehow they managed to win them and therefore gain a lead and win the match and the series in the end. That really reminded me of the OG Team of the past years...

Yet they sweep by Tundra and move down to lower bracket and might face again Nigma for a rematch. Tundra really knows well the move and strategy of OG, They commit minimal mistake and there team fight is very clean. If OG get the spot, I believe they will not gonna last on TI since lots of team there are stronger than Tundra and Nigma. Sumail can't do what Ana do back on there prime especially when Ceb and Topson game is not good which is always happening.

Who do you think will win the TI slot for EU and China?

I'm rooting for OG and Elephant Gaming but Nigma and E-Home are so damn strong base on there recent matches against my favorite team for this qualifier. Elephant gaming is the old roster of LGD and I want them to fight OG on TI as rematch.

Cool. I win this parlay even though I doubt already about OG beating Tundra on grand finals. OG seems not gonna counter the winter wyvern mid of nine which  always give punishment to topson. I already stop watching after game 3 when tundra defeat them 2-1. I just saw now the post about OG going TI that's why I go directly on sportsbet to check my bet. And hey what a beautiful Sunday for me. Watching now the replay.

That game 5 of OG and Tundra.

The pick of heroes of OG isn't good for the long game because it's TA that they've picked for Sumail and it's easy to counter that when it's already in the long game.

But they've ended the game as soon as they can and that Wyvern picks look like a kid on that decider match for the TI. Still, they've won and congratulations to them. No Ana and Jerax, no problem.

Notail totally counter the wyvern pick by disruptor skills. Wyvern keeps glimpse back or silence whenever he is initiating the team fight which create a lot of space for TA sumail. Sumail is very good on using Ags on TA. It looks like he has a dagger due to the mobility provided by Ags extra skill. If they doing this performance, they have a chance to win again TI but I'm not too confident on there draft. They might suffer an elimination on TI if they continue on experimental draft pick IMHO.

Yeah.

It's just they've happened to make a counter of it quickly and Tundra became confident that the new meta they're bringing in won't be countered by OG that quick.

But that's OG for them, they should expect that but the legendary pauses nade by them that's quite a strategy.

DOTA 2 TI QUALIFIERS #3 - REPORT 🚨

READ MORE: Dota 2 The International 10 qualifiers are officially over now.

Seen the line ups of teams and I am not familiar with almost 60% of the players because I have been out of the game for about a year now but I am really happy that we can watch another The International despite being delayed for a year.

It is okay if you're not yet familiar with 60% of them.

The group stages will make you familiar with all of them. It's going to be a good time to watch each of those games while having those game-face camera to each of them.

Definitely a good time to watch because new teams and new meta is a good combination to produce a really good fights and I think that the new mechanics and map changes in the game is probably going to make for some really strategies in this big tournament, hopefully we can see a new champion this time.

It would be a good twist if Valve will have a lot of update before a week or two or even a month before TI10 starts.

That would be a lot of adjustments for most teams.

No one watches the quarter finals of Cologne ?

VP vs Astralis in 3rd map and so far both of first two maps were decided in OT. I'm really watching some high class CS:Go with insane plays and new tricks that teams are bringing into the battles. I would really like to see VP wins and move into semi-finals as this young squad don't know to give up as in both maps they were down in both OT and somehow they managed to keep calm and play their game but 3rd map seems to be in the favor of Astralis.

Yes I've watched some matches and bet on several of them, and fortunately I had bet on Astralis to beat VP(Virtus Pro) for this quarter-final
Astralis has been a pretty good team during the tournament but they are far less good than Natus Vincere objectively, so I had bet on NaVi when they've met them in the group stage. Finally NaVi won the tournament without any big difficulties, currently they are clearly the best team for me.
On which sportsbooks have you bet for this tournament BTW? I don't know if you've seen it but there was a very interesting promotion on Stake : a first map insurance promotion, if your team won the first map and then lose the match, you got a refund of your stake.

Don't think that they will do it, IceFrog still has the call for the big updates in the game and IceFrog doesn't want the pro players to get confused in the game, he watches all the The International although no one exactly knows who he is.
