DOTA2 The International 2020

[Shiversnow]

With August just around the corner, I am excited with the upcoming The International 2020 in Sweden. This new meta will surely turn the table for the fights, because of the meta that was introduced at patch 7.23. Many people are rooting for OG to win again but OG.ana is out because he will pursue college. For me this is a very exciting way to do esports betting. I know that bets done in esports are sometimes done through paying item cosmetics to get much extravagant and expensive cosmetics, this window of oppurtunity is not new in this forum but I like to hear your thoughts.

When it comes to these times in terms of betting then i do only trust up some platforms when it comes to betting items or even with crypto.

This upcoming TI would really be not the same compared on previous years yet lots of players do changed up teams or simply have to see some new
rosters.Ive been following them on few minors and majors and i can say that those new teams is much more better.Im not
really rooting that much for OG now but having Sumail on Pos1 is badass.

One of the largest events happens into the world of defense of the ancients 2 is the international and it is the annual event that the valve is making to gather to all of the top players came from a different country and also they are making a huge price pool by buying a lot of compendium levels or battle pass level so the player has an advantage or opportunity to have an exclusive item like immortals and sets of the heroes some of the higher levels they have a not tradable item like arcana that only for 250 levels above and by the changing of roosters and team for this season we are waiting for the epic comeback of the team nigma vs og but still ana will not play on this t.i so we are hoping that sumail and midone can carry again the team og, also the team secret are waiting for a good opportunity the king of majors.

This are good betting sites but if understood the OP correctly. Does any betting facilitate cryptocurrency as a means of payment instead of dota2 skins or what they call cosmetics. I am also a fan but I think esports betting with cryptocurrency do have a potential.

There are several sportsbook that offers cryptocurrency betting on esports some of them are betcoin, fairlay, nitrogensports, sportsbet, stake. You can also use lootbet afaik they accept bitcoin but if you're looking to bet with altcoins you have betcoin, sportsbet and stake.

I still don't have any clear favorite for this years TI since a lot of teams are somewhat struggling in the current patch and things could shift in the future once new updates come out after the major.

[Fundamentals Of]

The next TI is still months away, in the the third quarter of the year. We are still in the first quarter right now. There may still be changes to the rosters of the teams. OG is of course the favorite this early even if Ana is out. That is because they have been the defending champion and the only team that grabbed the championship a couple of times. But, again, there are still so many things that could happen in between now and the next TI. In fact, we still cannot be sure which teams will make it to the TI 10. But this Sweden-held TI is definitely more exciting than the last one held in China.

They are the defending champion, obviously, people would be looking at them right now how would they defend their title with a different lineup. I love Saksa's gameplay since it really fits OG's strat, being aggressive. And with these laners they have, they can leave one hero at the lane and dominate other lanes with the supports they have. Ana will not be back at TI10 so I know some fans are disappointed about it. Right now, I will be looking at TNC since they won back to back major titles and they are the one for sure being the invited team. Nigma will be also going with revenge on the development they had after TI9. PSGLGD also made their changes with the lineup so they are also to look out too. Other teams? Maybe EG, VG and Team Secret but I am not really expecting that much.

What if Ana is just looking,testing and practicing for another surprising strategy again just like what he did with the IO carry last the International? it's a big one-time paycheck every TI and no need for him to participate the majors or minors because it has a bigger prize pool. And he can reason out about schools or other stuffs, so that the strategy won't be exposed? what if it's really like that the same with the past TIs?

I hope that this Covid19 will be gone before the event because if you guys don't know, the ESL LA 2020 was postponed because of it.

[finaleshot2016]

Is it too early to make a thread about TI 2020?
Also, due to the global spread of covid-19 the possibility of eSports event in the future might get cancelled if the virus wasn't condemned.

Anyways, me is rooting to OG with Sumail, it really makes the team OP. The aggressiveness of the team will definitely bring them again to a 3x TI champion. There are changes on the other team that I'm also looking forward. I like how they constantly change their strategy to each other just to gain the title of being a champion.

That surely is a spectacle for many fans that looking forward to watching how OG will play and there is a sure new strategy that he might show to us but unfortunately, I think this season is a hang time for ana.



And with the Covid19 virus amides, let's all hope this season will not be postponed because certainly too many crowds are not really safe anymore and regard for the safety of all that is why it is have to do, but if this would surely let loose and the season will continue to expect a Team OG without Anathan.

Not just Ana but Jerax already called his retirement. Ceb on the other hand move to being coach again and giving way to new OG lineup. This is really amazing. 3 midlaners in OG, as I said they're like wanting to dominate each lane and supports do the roaming. It is really early for this thread but it is good since, with the pandemic on the run, we don't know what might happen. These pro players go from country to country, they are at risk with the tournaments happening.

[dothebeats]

This year's the International will never be the same with the departure of Ceb from the active roster to Ana and JerAx's as well.  Perhaps Sumail and the gang could do something about OG's reign, and there doesn't seem to be any solid-stack team as of late since the conclusion of the recent Majors. With the threat of the COVID-19 still out and about, a few filler tournaments for DPC points might be cancelled, so there's a chance Valve might move the date, too.

I cant deny that this roster is good but nothing can replace the original roster
where Ana,Ceb and Jerax is still on the team.Well, time flies by and good things comes to an end.

Haven't tried those but already heard them. We have some different threads here in forum that talks about dota 2 gamblings.
Which we also using some common sportsbook that focus on cryptocurrency for deposits in short cryptocurrency sportsbook just like sportsbet, nitrogen, playbetr, stake (which recently open their sports betting including eSports(dota2, csgo, lol, etc), etc.

@everyone, do you think the upcoming 2020 Dota 2 International will be affected because of this novel corona virus (covid19) problems?

[ryzaadit]

No more TI10 for this year's boys.

With the current condition of coronavirus, the TI Tournament would be canceled same happens like ESL Los Angeles. If they keep continue the tournament, a lot team from china will have problem with their team member since the activity of flight china & Americans stopped because of the corona.

We will not know because the same thing was said last two years ago. The first TI they've became a champ, they also ran out of time looking for a carry and then Ana appears, the same goes last year. I remember that their carry replacement was Pajkatt and ILTW until Ana came back for the TI.

And with the Covid19 virus amides, let's all hope this season will not be postponed because certainly too many crowds are not really safe anymore and regard for the safety of all that is why it is have to do, but if this would surely let loose and the season will continue to expect a Team OG without Anathan.

Well, yes that should be expected for now that Ana will not be with them and that might be for real. But for the safety of all, staffs, players, coaches and fans, let's all hope together that this debacle might end as soon as possible.

[Wexnident]

You could actually say that the roster of OG has reset, and other teams have a chance of ousting them. Remember the last two back to back TI's of OG, both of which used their roster for both years, which really dominated the scene. With the team lacking some core members, you could actually say that someone else winning is not impossible. It's like how the only thing backing up the support for OG winning again is their record for their wins in the past 2 years. Not saying that the current roster isn't good, it's just that, the story of OG was carried by those 5 after all. Without them being complete, it's like there's a lacking feeling for the team.

This corona virus/covid 19 is expected to be over for 3-5months only, since the The International 2020 is still on August, I think the only tournament will be postponed or cancelled are the Valve Major or Minor tournaments.
But even if it will not happen in August, the The International 10 will still happen for me, I'm positive on that and let's hope this corona virus will end as soon as possible.

Are you a psychic? where do you know the coronavirus would be over with 3-5months any resource can support that's estimation or its just your own speculation. The TI was held on august but for the raised prize tournament by compendium will be open by "May".

Each team also need to prepare their visa a few months before the "Main Tournament" was started, if the pandemic coronavirus still has a high case the government will be stop/extended a flight activity & visa issuance.

Yeah, just like the other sports league I think they will be moving the date or might move on with The International so that they will be keeping the schedule in.

Some majors are still not being played and I think this is a problem since there are some players that are wanting to earn points to be invited to TI in Sweden. I hope it went well this month of April, these professional players are at risk with these games.
