[CS:GO] My picks and bets for today:

illuminar - HAVU: Over 2.5, 2.01 @ BetOnBit
LDLC (Avengers) - Budapest Five: LDLC, 1.65 @ BetOnBit

Both matches are BO3 and betting risk is high. Illuminar vs HAVU will be very interesting match, i think those 2 teams are evenly matches. Both teams have pretty hard period lately and their last match was in November last year when HAVU won. Avengers or ex LDLC have a chance to take down hungarian - finish mix. On paper they are stronger team, but we will see how the match will go. Slight favourites are LDLC to the bookies.

[DOTA 2] My picks and predictions for 2 matches today (Hainan Master Invitational (Spring) - Europe Qualifier):

ViKin.gg - GODSENT: GODSENT 1.5, 1.63 @ BetOnBit
OG Seed - Infinity: OG Seed, 1.28 @ BetOnBit

Both matches are BO3. Vikin.gg are showing pretty good games lately, but i don't see a reason why GODSENT couldn't take 1 map away from them, even tho they are favourites. Good odds on that. OG Seed is big favourite too vs mixed Infinity lineup.

[Dota 2] DreamLeague Season 13: The Leipzig Major group stage will start tomorrow.

@rand1919 will you bet from the first game? Or just pay attention and analyze it first?

I can't really predict anything from the very start of the tournament. Sometimes there is a tier 2 team that is on fire unexpectedly and randomly.

[rand1919]

[DOTA 2] DreamLeague Season 13: The Leipzig Major is finally here. Here are my bets and predictions on all opening matches in all 4 groups:

TNC Predator - Nigma: Nigma, 1.60 @ BetOnBit

Vici Gaming - Team Secret: Vici Gaming, 1.68 @ BetOnBit

Evil Geniuses - Natus Vincere: Evil Geniuses -1.5, 1.63 @ BetOnBit

Invictus Gaming - Reality Rift: Invictus Gaming -1.5, 1.40 @ BetOnBit

Alliance - Virtus Pro: Virtus Pro, 2.30 @ BetOnBit

Fnatic - Team Aster: Fnatic, 1.69 @ BetOnBit

Team Liquid - paiN Gaming: Team Liquid, 1.23 @ BetOnBit

beastcoast - Chaos Esports Club: Chaos Esports Club, 1.50 @ BetOnBit

All matches are BO3 luckily. Be careful, betting risk is always high in Dota 2 tournaments, at least in the group stage until we see in what direction will tournament go. Here are some of my thoughts about few of the big matches:

I have a lot of things to say about this match prediction. According to the odds, Vici Gaming and Team Secret are two biggest favourites to win DreamLeague Season 13: The Leipzig Major. Two biggest favourites are placed together in group B, where only the top two teams will advance to the Upper Bracket of the playoffs.Their last clash was at ONE Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational Singapore in the Lower Bracket round 2, where Vici Gaming took the win with 2-1 score. Secret finished at 5-6th place, while Vici went all the way through lower bracket to the grand finals, where they beat EG with clear 3-0. Let’s keep in mind Team Secret played with a stand-in that tournament. MidOne replaced YapzOr at position 4. Now YapzOr is back in the team, and it will be interesting to see how they will perform. On the other side, Vici Gaming does look like the best team in the world at the moment. Their laning stage is strong, their cores are carrying them, and supports are always on the spot. I think there are few teams in the world right now who could match Vici in terms of aggressive plays and their dominance. For those reasons, I give a slight edge to Vici Gaming in this best of 3 series. I think that match winner will be: Vici Gaming.

It’s a pity that this group stage of DreamLeague Season 13: The Leipzig Major won’t be played in front of the live crowd, because Alliance would have a lot of support of the German crowd in Leipzig because of their legacy. Group C will be a good group to keep an eye on, as i think together with Alliance and Virtus.pro, Invictus Gaming here contenders for top 2 positions at the end of this opening stage. According to the odds, Alliance and Virtus.pro are pretty high contenders to go through the group stage as top 2 and go all the way to the grand finals. Again, interesting fact – Alliance and Virtus.pro faced each other at ONE Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational Singapore lower bracket round 2. Alliance was better team then, beating Virtus.pro 2-1 and knocking them out of the tournament. In the end Alliance went all the way through the lower bracket, finishing in 4th place in the end. Regarding this match prediction, I would give a slight advantage to Alliance again, due to their recent performances. They are looking really good to go far in this Dota 2 tournament, however I can’t see them as a team on the throne right now. Competition is just too big. Virtus.Pro has an amazing lineup with a big potential for the future. If the stars alight for them, they could do wonders, and repeat their old lineup success. I think that Alliance is currently a slightly better and stronger team, but i love surprises and underdogs and VP can surely do it. I think they are capable to make a surprise and beat Alliance, odds on VP are amazing too.

I am so hyped and excited for this match. Even though i think that difference in strength between those two teams are kinda big, it will be one of the most exciting matches of the DreamLeague Season 13 group stage. First of all, Evil Geniuses are 2nd place finishers from the last ONE Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational in Singapore. They have been beaten by Vici Gaming in the grand finals with dominant 3-0 score. If i put that on the side, Evil Geniuses in the team to look on in 2020. Their lineup change was perfect and it gave them another depth in their gameplay and drafting. Surely, their form will only rise through the year until The International 10. They have so many options and possibilities, and they surely will be one of the teams favoured to win all Dota 2 tournaments that they will play this Dota 2 season. On the other side, Natus Vincere together with their CIS brothers Virtus.pro, are looking to be the dominant force in CIS region this year. How much can they done with the new lineup on the international level, we will see. According to the odds, they are in the lower third of teams favoured to win this Dota 2 Major. To be honest, with EG and Liquid in the group D, I am not sure if they can manage to take top 2 positions that lead to the upper brackets of the next playoff stage. This match prediction is very easy for me, as I think Evil Geniuses are the clear favourites here and match winners.

I do think this will be a really important best of 3 match for both teams, since nobody wants to end up in DreamLeague Season 13 lower bracket, especially not in the round 1 which is bo1 format. Nigma qualified for this Dota 2 tournament through WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020 which ended a few days ago. Bukovel Minor champions had secured a spot on this Leipzig Major and Nigma took it by both hands. Nigma or ex Team Liquid, ex The International champions, with slightly changed lineup (w33 instead of Matumbaman) are surely looking to get back on the top tier of Dota 2 teams. Interesting fact is that Team Nigma is the 4th favourite to win this Dota 2 Major, according to the bookies, while TNC Predator are right behind them, sitting at 5th place of the tournament favourites. If I didn’t watch Team Nigma at the Bukovel Minor, I would say that TNC Predator are favourites here, but currently I think the opposite. Team Nigma amazed me at the Bukovel Minor with their tournament run and their cooperative gameplay and strategies, that I simply see them as the match winners against TNC Predator. So this match prediction couldn’t be easier for me, as I think Nigma will dominate this.

[boyptc]

Well, that's sure a long analysis and I'm again thinking about the last match and strategy of Nigma that they would easily play the group stages and may want to go under the losers bracket.

However, this could be a different thing now since it's a major and a high place after the run will give a sure slot for the The International.

[turkandjaydee]

Bruh, Navi won against EG. This is what I mean when saying this before  

Sometimes there is a tier 2 team that is on fire unexpectedly and randomly.

But It's only 1 game, so not really yet.

-snip-

I will only wait until Nigma meets another big team like team Secret or Vici Gaming. And only after that game, I will have a better prediction on Nigma.

It looks like that TNC has lost their sparkle after winning a major and they've become a Major Fluke  

[livingfree]

This is the first major of Fnatic and I think they've became stronger this time. They've been in their new boot camp on Europe and everyone has adjusted pretty well after they have migrated there.

Watch the documentary on their facebook page.

Yeah, TNC lost with 2nd and 3rd team.

They really are the kings of best of 1 because they are good with best of 1 matches. But they are still not yet out, let's wait if they can beat Aster later.

[rand1919]

[DOTA 2] Day 1 ended very badly regarding matches.There were few surprises and picks went pretty bad. Only 3 / 8 for day 1, but we will fix that forward on. My first DreamLeague Season 13: The Leipzig Major bets and predictions for day 2:

Nigma - Fnatic: Fnatic 1.5, 1.50 @ BetOnBit

Team Secret - beastcoast: Team Secret -1.5, 1.53 @ BetOnBit

Invictus Gaming - Alliance: Invictus Gaming, 2.30 @ BetOnBit

Natus Vincere - Liquid: Natus Vincere, 1.69 @ BetOnBit

All matches are BO3 and betting risk on group stage is extremely high, we saw that yesterday. Even big favourites can't win. Nigma won their match as expected, Secret had close 2-1 match vs Vici, Alliance dominated VP aand NaVi surprised us all by beating one of the tournament favourites EG with 2-1.

Those are first 4 matches for today. Fnatic showed that they are really prepared for this tournament beating Aster 2-0, i might give them 1 map here, but favourites for me are Nigma. Fnatic handicap is good here, odds are better then Nigma ML. Another shock was, beastcoast won vs Chaos. Seems like Peruvians are prepared, but i don't give them much chance vs Team Secret. I expect Secret to take this convincingly. IG vs Alliance - i'm looking for a surprise here. IG is very good team with 3rd place at MDL Chengdu Major and 1st place at The Summit. Alliance is in their tip form, it will be very close match, even tho Alliance are favoured, i went for IG, they surely can do it, amazing odds on that. What do say about NaVi? 2-1 win vs EG. Can they repeat that performance vs Liquid? I do think so, they are looking good, better then Liquid.

Next 4 matches are starting at 16:30 CET! Ill place another bets right before so stay tuned! GL! PM me for discord / google sheet!

[rand1919]

[DOTA 2] 16:30 CET matches - predictions and picks:

Reality Rift - Virtus Pro: Reality Rift 1.5, 1.66 @ BetOnBit

TNC Predator - Team Aster: Team Aster 1.5, 1.54 @ BetOnBit

Vici Gaming - Chaos Esports Club: Vici Gaming -1.5, 1.41 @ BetOnBit

Evil Geniuses - paiN Gaming: Evil Geniuses -1.5, 1.50 @ BetOnBit

Again, all matches are BO3, betting risk very high. Those handicap bets are so risky, you should probably know that, especially -1.5 handicaps. VP disappointed me yesterday vs Alliance. I believe they are favourites today and that they should win vs Reality Rift, but won't be easy. RR are not bad team, at all. 1 map for them is possible. TNC are another big favourites in their match vs Aster, but i believe Aster can pull off a map from them. They played good yesterday on map 1 vs fnatic, they just lacked the late game. I believe Vici and EG are capable to 2-0 their opponents. OK-ish odds on that.

Its a bit dissapointing, I know that they have a good spot in the next TI but they still need to prove they are a premium team. The time they won has no a-team in it. This time, it has a lot of good teams and yeah, they're there. This might show that their new coach is not working out.

It's not a fluke dude. It's just that EU teams adopt very well on the new meta where in the SEA teams cannot easily catch up on the new playstyle of DotA. Of course TNC will have a hard time in their match up against nigma which has a solid core and a solid line up that's why they end up lossing on a 0-2 note.

[DOTA 2] My first upper bracket bets and predictions for DreamLeague Season 13 (Tuesday matches):

Nigma - Evil Geniuses: Nigma, 1.71 @ BetOnBit
Invictus Gaming - Vici Gaming: Invictus Gaming 1.5, 1.85 @ BetOnBit

Both matches are BO3 and betting risk is normal to high.

Boys from the Team Nigma are playing out of this world. They have managed to win that Bukovel Minor, and they have continued their amazing form in this DreamLeague season. They ended 2-0 in their group A, beating TNC and Fnatic. First place group A is playing 2nd place group D, which are EvilGeniuses. After their amazing 2nd place finish at ONE Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational Singapore, they are looking like washed up team in this tournament. At least in the group stages. They have been beaten by NaVi, but they have managed to beat PaiN and Team Liquid barely. Doesn’t look good for them now. But we all know EG are a playoff team, they always show their strengths in their playoff runs. I expect them to rise and show why they are currently one of the best teams in the world. But against this Nigma, it will be very hard. I’m giving a slight edge to Team Nigma.

Vici Gaming are recent ONE Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational Singapore champions and i would say the best team in the world, at least in the last few months. They have been dominating. But in this DreamLeague and their group B, they have been beaten by Secret, who took the first place in that group. Deserved? Well yes, they have managed to outplay VG in BO3 series, beating them 2-1. After that loss, VG took everything in their hands and they showed what they are made off. 2-0 vs CHAOS and beastcoast gave them 2nd place and a playoff match vs their Chinese brothers, Invictus Gaming. Yes IG is definitely a strong team, a strong contender, but are they on a Vici’s level? I don’t think so. They showed us amazing performances against Alliance in their group B, but can they repeat that vs Vici? Maybe. Invictus Gaming might win a map.

Later ill place bets on BO1 lower bracket matches!

[boyptc]

There is no doubt now with Nigma.

They are taking the tournament seriously and if they are losing with the first games that they have. It's not that they are weak or what, they are also experimenting some strats just like what they've done to TNC. I'm also impressed with EG so this first match on the upper bracket is like the battle of the tier 1 teams.

[rand1919]

[DOTA 2] My bets and picks for DreamLeague lower bracket, BO1 matches:

beastcoast - paiN Gaming: beastcoast, 1.47 @ BetOnBit
Team Aster - Chaos Esports Club: Team Aster, 1.42 @ BetOnBit
Reality Rift - TNC Predator: TNC Predator, 1.45 @ BetOnBit
Liquid - Virtus Pro: Virtus Pro, 2.06 @ BetOnBit

Be careful, those matches are best of 1 series. Betting risk is extremely high. Go low on this.
