Congratulations to BIG clan for reverse sweeping Extra Salt and making a comeback from being 0-2 series score to make it 3-2 by winning Train, Vertigo and Overpass. All 4 maps very close affair being 14-16, 16-13, 16-14, 16-14. I thought it was over and Extra Salt were going to win it 3-1 during vertigo. Extra Salt were 13-9 up as T's while BIG clan were broke. Incredible comeback.

Edit: They win FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe Final.

Unfortunately, I bet on BIG map Dust2 and Extra Salt map Train  . And that was a very unlucky thing for me that Extra salt won on Dust2 and after that BIG surprisingly won on Train.Like WTFFF  

By the way, OG were looking good yesterday. Can they win against Movistar Riders today? I'm leaning on OG

That is a crazy comeback considering they are behind in terms of net worth which means that they have to make do with almost no secondary guns and a calculated amount of throwables.

my morning tickets, dpc CN and ASL S11 https://i.ibb.co/C586wqy/ffs.png

G2 gonna win 2-0 cos i forgot how dogshit Mouz are meaning prolly another losing ticket. Literally me right now:


btw, the amount of games in CS today is quite overwhelming, isn't it? https://www.hltv.org/matches

[ralle14]

I also had a bet on the CN upper division but I went with Aster instead of the total maps.

Later I still have one ticket Team Liquid -1.5 vs Brame @1.9, once that hits i'll probably roll it on OG ML.

Yeah the qualifier matches scheduled for the next few days is way too much for me to follow.

[turkandjaydee]

Hahahaha, BIG performance is really bad right now. I followed Funspark ULTI tournament in the last few days and even though they won that tournament, they were still struggling against I think tier 2 teams.

And now they lost again Funplus Phoenix. I think BIG are pretty good only at Dust2 and Mirage, I went on BIG against FPX in map 2 (Mirage) and gladly they won that map.

IG is really trash right now, perhaps after winning a major they want to relax a bit. After watching their series against Aster, I think betting on them is a very risky decision in the near future. And don't forget they were also struggling against Magma before.

Yeah really, I blindly went on them to win against mousesports but mousesports were really good as a team against them. Xantares , syrson, tabsen all seems to be having problems now. Not sure where their shine has all gone now. Really hard to see one of my favourite team putting such bad performance.

As for the other game, I actually went to see the whole match and @tomahawk9 - gotta agree farlig has good potential. I loved the way he no scoped on tight angle while having no idea player was there. Really hard to nail such shots. They defeated G2 yesterday and today they have match against Faze. Would be a great match to watch.

I don't think IG is trash, during that series they had a good laning stage it's just that their drafting isn't the best after the new patch while Aster drafted really well around their comfort heroes. Even before the DPC IG always have that inconsistency or volatile trait but they seem to show up on games that matter.


Here's my early bet for later G2 to win @1.91 vs Faze.

G2 with the better form and Faze still struggling even though they won vs Furia it might be a fluke since Furia also lost to Movistar Riders.

The thing that made me more sure about IG is trash is their match against Magma before and at least for me draft result is also counted to measure the performance of a team.

You're right about Aster tho, they're really on fire lately and drafting really well. I should see more matches from IG so then I will know if I will change my mind about them or not, but by the time I write this, they just lost to LGD  .

I got @1.45 for G2 ML when they were leading on map 1  . BOL !!

Aster also beat IG 2-0 in the Pro Circuit season 1 (although they lost the tiebreaker)...i'm starting to think Aster are in fact the better team, they were just very unlucky in the last Major with not having Borax in the tournament. IG just lost to LGD, yeah it might be a good idea to avoid adding to bet slips for the time being

anyway, Team Secret - Alliance in a few hours, i went with Over maps on this one https://i.ibb.co/FY0WmLW/over.png alliance +1-5 handicap odds are still attractive at 1.6, but the Over maps boosted odds are too good imo. Alliance with 3 wins in a row, Nikobaby playing good doto lately, Secret on the other hand have bee a bit shaky after 7.29 went live. Let's see if this one hits

I am also on Aliance +1.5. As you said Nikobaby is as good as ever and Secret looked a bit shaky in the last games. I am hoping for at least one throw in drafting phase as well. Should be free money.

This is my first eSports bet after a couple of days of purposely avoiding eSports due to bad results.

[turkandjaydee]

Congratz if you bet on Alliance +1.5. It already hit.

Unfortunately, I can't get that 1.6 odds on my crypto sportsbook (stake and loot.bet) a few hours ago.

And I want to bet on G2 again on their rematch against mousesports, but it's already too late and the odds is already too uggly  .

[batang_bitcoin]

Congratz if you bet on Alliance +1.5. It already hit.

Congrats folks, Team Secret always has their stopper with these EU teams. Next match of Alliance is with Brame, I think that will be an easy win for them on May 4.
On the Sea region later, T1 vs Boom. Can't decide but I'm thinking of T1.

[ralle14]

Now that the qualifiers are done next up is the Dreamhack Masters and i'll be betting against G2 this time, I know they're hot during the qualifiers but since this is a best of one match i'd go with Team Spirit @1.71.

BIG @1.8 seems really good as well vs Furia but i'm still undecided since Furia might start to wake up after their recent losses.

👍 but i wonder what happened on game 2. Last i checked, Alliance had a 2k gold lead and were 12 to 5 kills or something, i thought it was gonna be 2-0 but oh well fine by me  
i think my next ticket is gonna be either Aster to win vs. LGD or O2.5 maps. LGD were so abd against VG, who says Aster can't easily take this, right?

BIG @1.8 seems really good as well vs Furia but i'm still undecided since Furia might start to wake up after their recent losses.

went with FURIA. this is totally a 50/50 cos both have been quite trash as of late, but i've always rated the brazilian, so EDIT* oof!...but most games in the Dreamhack so far have been really, really close.
Navi @1.7, VP @1.96...those odds on Navi feel like free money but Mousesports put up a good a fight against them earleir today, so Yekindar & co could definitely give s1mple a run for his money 🤔

Yeahh, Alliance were supposed to lead the early to mid-game on that game 2 since Secret's draft was quite greedy. But unfortunately, Alliance were not be able to close that game earlier and let Secret secure the late game.

I see there are a lot of csgo matches today, but I will just watch the first matches and will try on the second matches.

A close game between Team Spirit and G2, I feel like G2 isn't really on fire lately so I think I will go with Gambit on their match against G2 soon.
VP beat Faze but they were very bad in the previous tournament (Funspark ULTI), so I'll keep that in mind and Navi might be my pick for Navi vs VP later.

Woahh, BIG just won against Furia but it does make sense since Furia lost to Movistar Riders recently.

Yeah they both have been poor lately. Glad that I didn't put money, would have chosen brazilian side if I were on time. Vertigo was totally disaster from Furia. BIG were aware about their aggression and they handle that pretty well while defending on CT side. I have been saying it lately that Furia's games are like coin toss. Depends on how ready their opponents are against Furia's aggression.

I feel like they Furia need to maybe proceed things bit differently now that other teams are slowly getting their plays. Its not surprising to most teams anymore.

[hanspeter77]

now live mousesports vs FaZe an it stand 1:1
im dident think das Mousesports win 1 round 
butt okay it looks like that can mousports win. 

[ralle14]

Looks like the bookies are really hyping Astralis up as they keep the odds really close, i'm going against them and take Complexity here @1.76 simply because of the value and they're slowly gaining form with their recent wins from the qualifiers. Sure, Astralis did get their first match win against Extra Salt but I think that's already expected since Extra Salt is somewhere in the tier 2 level. We'll see if they could keep up the same level of play against tougher opponents even without device.
