Dota 2: Game 5 in the grand finals HYPE! EG wins first 2 games in a best of 5 series and were very close to winning it 3-0 but iG managed to stage a comeback, not only in game 3 but the series as well by winning the 4th game. Series score now 2-2 and game 5 to come in a few mins. Lets goo!

I had a nice bet on IG +1.5 and when it was 2:0 for EG I was thinking why did I have to go for a cheeky bet when I expected EG to take to tournament. I guess I was influenced by rand and good thing I went that way. 5th map is still in balance so we will see who will prevail in the end.

If IG manages to take this one it will be a big steal. Coming back from 2:0 is never easy and especially not when EG play as good as they are playing today. Both maps EG won has been a clear wins with no chances for opponent while those 2 that IG managed to win were much more close and I kept waiting for turnaround.

IG manage to reverse sweep and win the Singapore Major! Lifestealer isnt a great hero tbh..especially late game against Spec and there are reasons why people arent really picking him even after certain changes. Some really good games honestly from these teams. What reflexes to avoid bkh and for lion to stun enemies so quickly. Great follow up from Mars and phoenix with arena and egg too so EG cannot fight there at all. really good team play coming from IG in the last 3 maps and Chinese region, who were dominant wrt the no. of teams qualified, take the major. Another disappointing result for EG but it wasnt a bad showing, honestly. Just tripped over at the last hurdle. They could have ended the series in 3 maps. I honestly stopped watching 3rd map as I thought EG would take it and win the Major but it wasnt the case and started watching again from 4th map.

IG manage to reverse sweep and win the Singapore Major!

ah man i missed it!! a reverse sweep in the final! and i thought Team Secret - OB Neon was going to be hard to beat as the the best match of the tournament, but apparently i was wrong

few takeaways from this tournament: SA need more slots, EU need to step up their game, will NA ever win a major?  

anyway, today was not a good day for my tickets. T1 to win? down the shitter.  FURIA - G2 over maps? fck that too cos G2 are dogsh*t   so it's all about VP - COL over maps @1.80, at least veto looks decent for Complexity, mrg and inferno should be competitive, vertigo as the decider is free win for VP tho

Going on good so far. Both are playing good CS atm and displaying good team plays. Right now it's down to 2nd map and Complexity seems like are coming from behind on 2nd map to push to 3rd map(not done yet tho).

We have 1-2 days break again after this and we will be having play-in rounds ..the one I have been waiting for.

What an upset made by them. That was already a 2-0 for EG and they only need to win 1 game for them to go home and take the grand finals and be proclaimed as the champions for the first major.
But that's the twist, on the 3rd time, EG was too comfortable enough and it's painful while watching the game because they keep on giving Abed's storm spirit which should have given a respect ban but they didn't. 5 straight games for Abed with storm and the mindgame started by IG.Emo with the historical and tilting "?".

Yeah, Im not sure what happened to G2..they looked awful. Honestly, I wasn't expecting Col to win any maps based on how they played Mirage but somehow they had an amazing T-Side to close it down. Map 3 looking closer but I expect VP to close it down.

Next go on the 8 of april:
Heroic vs Ninjas in Pyjamas a great match to watch im think Heroic will win they the better Team, Ninjas play the last times not soo good.
Gambit Esports vs Astralis thats a great match to Astralis should win.

After the One Esports Major Singapore, the next thing would be the Dota Pro Circuit Season for all regions. Lower division and Upper division for the South American region and Thunder Predator is in it but with a strong rival too, beastcoast.

Now we are back to regional tournaments. Which are fun but clearly not the same as inter regional tournaments/Majors. I am more interested in the Chinese league(i League) as there are a lot of strong teams. China has proven to be the strongest region for Dota at the moment and EU is falling short.

We only have one game for today and that's Suning vs TOP, I really want Suning to win but I have to go with TOP@1.72 here, this series is even as it gets since Suning took down TOP in the regular season 2-0 and at last year's Worlds. My reasoning for TOP is that they have the better raw talent and despite the bad start they have this split they still manage to stabilize and lock the third seed. Also have a sidebet on TOP map 1 first tower since they have a huge priority on taking towers (80%) compared to Suning (42%).

[tomahawk9]

does anyone if the i-League 2021 have an english stream? seems like there's only a chinese website called Douyu streaming this tournament, kinda sucks, i wanted to see IG's Kaka and LGD's Ame, they had a greta performance in the last major

best odds i could find, second best was pinnacle at 1.745

tbh, TES being the favs in the bookies means nothing, just look at what happened to JDG the other day  but i'll be rooting for JackeyLove & Co here, cos like you said, they were fantastic during regular season even though they had some occasional hiccups...let's just hope Suning didn't find that Worlds 2020 form, otherwise, we're screwed 😂

Glad that I have watched another DOTA tournament after a long time not watching and I am glad that it was a Major because you can scout out potential teams that you can rely on when betting. I was surprised when IG won because they were against EG with 2 wins under their belt, I guess the bad manner by Emo was enough to awaken his inner strength.

Every major tournament is composed of different regions so you don't expect these regional tournaments as the major that we've enjoyed watching.
China is a strong region and there are a lot of games and tournaments happening today. You choose your games to watch but all of them are always interesting to me.

I apologize. I believe that this has already been indicated in this topic, but where can I find a complete list of all types of e-sport tournaments that exist?

[tomahawk9]

two words: TOP Esports  
now if this multi hits that would be great


Mouse ml at 1.7x and EG at 1.6x...anyone else caught these odds? surprised they were this high, but hey, i won't complain  

I apologize. I believe that this has already been indicated in this topic, but where can I find a complete list of all types of e-sport tournaments that exist?

i don't know if  such list exists, but if it does it would be a massive list cos pretty much any well-known PVP game (and even some obscure ones)and multiplayer has some sort of competitive scene. Liquipedia, a wiki for esports, does have a list of a bunch of esports but they're still missing a LOT of games

So it was an interesting thing to exist. Something to think about.

(and even some obscure ones)

What do you mean by that? I got curious. What kind of games are we talking about?

I choose here

closer to the match, more streamers will appear, of course there are drawbacks - everyone is promoting their bookmaker and there is not always an English commentator.
But for me personally, it is not interesting to watch with sound, commentators interfere with soberly weighing the chances and enrage with their predicts

Tomorrow will be the third match of the group stage ... EHOME vs RNG.
Royal Never Give Up +1.5 looks quite real 1.729 ... and, perhaps for luck, I'll throw a coin to win RNG 3.300

I watched few games including Elephant vs. RNG today on JeevesDotaTV (twitch). I think he has covered all the games so far.

English stream, you will either love or hate the guy since he is doing it in sort of his own way. Don't like his accents and rewinds when he misses a kill but I love the way he screws with idiots in the chat. Not good for live betting since he has 10 minutes delay. I think he has to have it in order to not breach some rules for unofficial casters.

Had RNG +1.5 this morning so I stopped watching after they took 2nd map. WTF is happening with Elephant, I feel like bet against them is always a good option. They won in the end today so maybe that is a sign of good form coming back.

Well, any game you find probably has at least a tournament whether it is for professional or amateur.

This lists only contain famous games which I believe already become professional esports tournament and league: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_esports_leagues_and_tournaments

I also find this list which contains a wide range of games, even those emerging: https://escharts.com/tournaments (prize pool is included)

The first two games between TOP and Suning was very unexpected Suning had a big lead in first game then all of them quickly died while sieging the inhib and lose, next game it was TOP's turn to throw their bodies at Suning's base when they had every big objectives and advantage in their hands. Third game was just a quick stomp from TOP, the fourth game Suning had the better draft but TOP with the better execution.

Not the best idea to bet against RNG today but I might have to since FPX can go toe to toe with their drafts, Doinb going for unpredictable picks on mid and Xiaohu doing the same on the top lane. The other roles are pretty even too so i'll go for a small play on FPX @2.28 and it all comes down on the drafting once again.
