Vitality moneyline yesterday was @1.01 odds...and they still lost and got eliminated from BLAST. I watched the match, pure carnage from 9z, that 16yo kid 'try' looked like s1mple or dev1ce with some insane flicks/frags, what a beast! and his teammte 'max' also had one hell of a performance

Liquid, Astralis and Vitality are out of the tournament...hmm, i kinda want to bet on the underdogs (9z and Furia) in the next round 

Most of the games today are too one sided but I found these two upper division matches with okay odds and parlayed them together for 1.8 you could also include heroic to push it above even odds.

I also had VP but in a single ticket. Match went as expected, going to a 3rd map https://i.ibb.co/j60ZHDZ/veryez.png
tomorrow's gonna be a bit of a slow day so it's all about BLAST Premier for me. Gonna go with Over maps in OG - G2.

Looks like G2 might take OG's map pick, the score is already at 10-6 but your over is still in a good shape since G2 picked D2 and that could go either way.

I'm going to ride the Team Spirit train later vs Dignitas, their odds seems too good here 1.35 for series win and 2.2 for 2-0.

Really not sure what is going around. Vitality losing to 9z was so so so unexpected. Zywoo was the worst performer out of all of them in the team that's another hard pill to swallow.

That was also the rpk's last match for Team Vitality and he is out of the team as well now.

Sometimes, if the opponents manage to "discover" the strategy / tactic used, it is difficult to win. It will be necessary to adjust this strategy.

If they find something that is going to be detrimental to the winning of your team then it is the mission of the other team to find a strategy that will counter the new strategy that the other team employs. That is the beauty of team based eSports, you have to create a strategy on the fly.

This actually happens at the very hero picking phase of the tournament draft. If the hero picks have been countered, like picking enigma then they locked rubick or silencer, then your team must have the backup plans on how to pass this obstacles of getting silenced or getting your blackhole stealed.

Comms will do most of the tasks in deploying these ones and I love it.

I tuned in to Navi's series yesterday against Team Spirit and the only thing I can say is that they really need a solid offlaner if not they won't make it to the second major. Team Spirit stomped both games and Ramzes role as an offlaner doesn't seem to fit in with Navi's playstyle.

Today i'm banking on this nice three leg multi @3.4(ENCE, Gambit, Beyond) all favs nothing too unusual and if this bet hits I might put it all on FPX tomorrow.

Next goes:
Heroic vs 9z Team  that should be very easy match for Heroic.
Gambit Esports vs Furia eSports  intrest match Gambit is the better team butt Furia is an hard enemy.

[tomahawk9]

9z lost their map pick and will posibbly lose the match as expected...their path to the main event was so difficult to begin with, face the 2nd best team in the world like Heroic, and then if they somehow beat the danes, they could potentially face the best team rn which is Gambit...mission impossible for the SA team is an understatement, tbh lol

That was also the rpk's last match for Team Vitality and he is out of the team as well now.

awful way to leave, in one the team's most memorable upsets :/

I might put it all on FPX tomorrow.

what do we think about FPX? can they easily beat RNG or is it going to be a hard fought epic battle? honestly i didn't expect the bookies to price RNG ml that high (2.85 odds in some sites), they did have some close games against EDG and TES, but still...

I think it's going to be a hard fought one as they might fuck up the drafts like they did against EDG but overall i'd give the edge to FPX since they have the better players and have the better champion pool if RNG decides to focus all of their bans on certain champions after that 3-0 on their last meeting.

Today i'm rocking this 4 leg parlay@2.6 two of them are one sided odds(GAM and PSG Talon) because they're the best of best in their region only dropped 1 game throughout the season and sweeping teams in the playoffs so it all comes down to FPX and Team Spirit to seal my parlay.

G2 Esports vs Team Spririt  great match to watch Team Spirit should win.
Heroic vs Gambit eSports  since the last match Heroic play not so good  in the last series they play better, it spossible that win Gambit.
Blink vs Alternate aTTaX im hope Alternate win butt im think blink wil win.

[tomahawk9]

@ralle14   what's with the FPX odds? 14.50?  anyway, i opened the stream and saw RNG winning a 4v5 in game 4 and thought "this is over" lol glad i overslept and didn't bet on this game...i did find it weird that RNG were given such high odds in prematch tho, FPX had the momentum on their part, sure, but RNG got first place in the regular split, ppl must've really thought RNG were a fluke, eh? 🤔

MAD Lions and RNG in the next MSI, huh...

my only ticket today:

Spirit haven't played mirage in a while so perhaps G2 can punish them there edit* fuck . Dust2 should be free win for Spirit, it's their best map and G2 have a poor record there lately edit2* as expected, both teams traded maps and my ticket won 😏

There's not that much action in Dota 2, the DPC season week 2 matches will commence on April 20 onwards. Most of them are scheduled in the same date. But later there's a match in the China region, RNG versus Magma. It's I-League and Magma has never won a series when this tournament has started.

So, soon action begins.

DPC season isn't that taken that much serious by the teams in my opinion especially those that are already invited, they don't want the people to know their strategy so they don't take the games most of the time that serious but we can see some potential teams that will take the Aegis in the season.

Team Spirit vs G2 eSports a great match like in the old jears    Spirit win.
FaZe Clan vs Virtus.Pro im hope Faze win butt its hard for Faze to win.

[joker_josue]

FaZe Clan vs Virtus.Pro im hope Faze win butt its hard for Faze to win.

US team to win the Russian team.
Any day even espionage exists in the esport to try to prevent this from happening.

Faze is an EU team, even though they have two NA players (coldzera and twist) most of their matches have been in EU online tournaments.

A lot of people joke about the NA teams but for me they're still good enough where the upset potential is always looming since these back to back online tournaments can burn out certain teams.

talking about NA, got me a ticket with Evil Geniuses for tomorrow + some Dota action too https://i.ibb.co/3hbM5Z9/veryEz.png
btw, i'm not sure why Alliance odds are so high right now, ml at 2.7? i just checked Liquipedia and there are no news about a player missing the match tomorrow...i know they're going through a rough patch, but they just beat Liquid the other day 

[turkandjaydee]

Did someone watch VP get 2-0ed by Forze? I didn't know much about Forze, are they actually a good team or VP were just playing so badly?

That's probably because of OG.Ana hype and I also expect a better performance from OG after ana returns

Later on DPC China Upper Division, 4 hours from now, we only have 1 match. It is SAG vs Elephant. Majority will be going with Elephant.

I don't with that but it's a tournament that everybody is serious with their matches. I don't know where you've taken that idea that they're not serious even for those invited ones. All of them are serious because prize is accompanied by qualification to the major along with DPC points.
