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

[sunsilk]

Yeah, thought so but I was thinking maybe I am missing something because of all the hype. I watched some DOTA game and commentators got wild shouting Battlepass is out. I guess they get easily excited

It's getting the hype because every year it's giving new style of the items that they've produced before. And 25% of all the sale goes to the fund for the prize pool of Dota 2's The International. But for this year, there's no TI. TI is like the Christmas of Dota 2.

And the current went to $10M already within just few days. So the hype is real not just for the items but for the prize pool that it has collected from battle pass. 

Whether we have battle pass or none, we can still bet and play.

Thanks @sunsilk!
I'm also aiming for that physical item of aegis, hoping to reach 1000 if ever there's a sale. I'm ready to spend just in case there's a sale of levels, this is also a support for the upcoming TI!

Yup, this is the mindset of most players. They're buying for supporting TI and the items that they get is a great exchange for showing support.

I see that you are discussing Dota 2 Battle Pass, so here are some general infos:

Battle Passes are purchasable items that grant access to tournament and event features, as well as a wide variety of earnable cosmetic items. They were previously known as Compendiums. Proceeds from sales of Battle Passes usually go towards a tournament's prize pool.

Valve has released the Battle Pass for The International 10 Dota 2 tournament despite the competition being delayed into 2021. The Battle Pass launched today at a price of $9.99, with 25% of all sales going into the prize pool for The International 10, the annual Dota 2 world championship. Typically the Battle Pass runs until just after the conclusion of the competition in late August, however, with The International 10 being delayed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic it is currently unknown how long the Battle Pass will run for. It seems unlikely that Valve would run it until the tournament takes place, as it would make TI 10 the biggest esports event ever by a long way and it would likely never be surpassed by another Dota event. Much like previous years, the Battle Pass features a massive amount of cosmetic items that can be unlocked by leveling up the Battle Pass. This can be done by playing the game, or by purchasing levels for real-world cash. Again 25% of all those sales will go into the TI 10 prize pool.

Highlights include a new terrain that is unlocked at level 160, Pudge and Anti Mage personas, and amazingly three new Arcana sets. One for Wraith King, one for Queen of Pain and one for Windranger. Living towers can also be unlocked at level 200. The big new addition however, is the return of guilds. It has been years since guilds have been available in Dota 2, but the TI 10 Battle Pass is bringing them back, allowing players to join a large community of like minded fans to find games and people to play with. Exclusive guild challenges that require the whole community to join in, and daily challenges can be used to increase your guild points, which in turn will give you certain rewards.

Fortunately the guilds feature is not being entirely locked behind a paywall. Anyone will be able to join a guild, but only those who purchase the Battle Pass will be able to create one. The International 10 was due to be held in Stockholm, Sweden during August 2020, with the main event scheduled for August 18 to 23 in the Ericsson Globe Arena, which can hold up to 16,000 and was expected to sell out. However, the coronavirus pandemic forced the event to be postponed, with Valve mentioning it will most likely take place in 2021. It is currently unknown exactly when or where The International 10 will take place.

I didn't bet much because of my low bankroll, I only got some bucks as profit. If I have my withdrawal processed tomorrow, I will send you a little token as tip.

Thanks I'm back in today. Finished my training course and passed yesterday.


I have backed the CSGO and some of the Dota, I don't feel too brave.

Good luck.

Well played rand!

As you say and recommended, I'll just watch most of these matches for today. But I've got a feeling for VP.P, Nigma and Secret. Although your pick is with Alliance still, good luck with your bets. You're always this good rand.

[rand1919]

We already have a hit on 2 matches

✔Team Secret - Natus Vincere: Team Secret -1.5, 1.31
✔Gambit Esports - Family Team: Family Team, 1.95

Viking is 0-1 currently, and Nigma and Liquid are 1-1, hoping for Nigma ML win. Let's go!

[Globb0]

Alright, a good day to have came back. Lost on the CSGO ac, but Gen.G might save me a few quid.

Meanwhile,



Yee ha

Congratz to everyone who followed or made same bets

Who was watching the game 2 of Vikin.gg vs. Team Unique yesterday?

The kills were 22-11 in favor of Team Unique but then with the technical glitch the decision of the admin was that Vikin.gg won by default. Apparently, Team Unique wasn't allowed to play 4 vs. 5.

Here's another issue, was that decision by the admin enough for my bets to be acknowledged? Does anybody here also bet on specific games in addition to or rather than just win/lose?

I have watched the match and that's a bitter lose for Team Unique despite they led the game and they were about to take the game, they still lost. But, it's the admins to decide and there are certain rules that each team have to follow and consider.

Did you just bet specifically for game 2 or you have bet for the series winner? At the end of the series, it's Team Unique won. If you bet for game 2 only, the bookie should acknowledge the match winner(Vikin.GG) declared by the admins because it's technically the winner. And the admins just declared "default loss" for Team Unique because their Luna can no longer connect, this is the same as the TNC vs. Cignal Ultra issue.

I made a total of 3 bets on game 2 alone, which would've all won had the bookie acknowledged the decision of the admin. Unfortunately, they didn't recognize it. It was odd. As a matter of fact, even my bet on which team would bring down a tower first, which was won around 45 minutes before the game was finally decided to be a default in favor of Vikin.gg, was also voided. I was wondering why, because it didn't have anything to do with the overall outcome of the game.

Here is todays Dota games....




Look like plenty of entertainment for today. *edit*Oh but they are all on at conflicting times. FS.*/edit*

I would suggest you read terms & conditions of the page you are using. If they don't have it covered you can write to support and demand your money. Those are the situations which all bookmakers can value differently. By common sense your tower bet should have been winning and other bets voided.

I had similar experience with wbet7. If one player forfeits during tennis match they count it as regular result while many other betting sites  count it as void bet. I complained and got my money back and they added the clause in T&C few days later.
