It's a sad year for TNC, because of the changes in the DPC season they should already been qualified with majors that they've won. But now, they're on the qualifiers battling for the only slot due to the system. Actually, I'm rooting for Fnatic and we'll see if Neon will push them to lower bracket.

That's just how things go unfortunately but I don't think it's a sad year for them overall since they're still one of the best teams in their region.

Yes, no doubt that they are one of the best teams but The International is what every team is aiming per year and they've been already qualified early before the DPC season changes its policy. That's just sad for them.

Actually, I'm rooting for Fnatic and we'll see if Neon will push them to lower bracket.

Neon showed us what they're capable of in game 1 and game 2, pretty close games, although bit of a blunder in game 1 lead to Fnatic's comeback...but game 3, masterclass from Raven
Neon - Execration in the lower bracket tomorrow is gonna be a banger! i'm rooting for Neon and Yopaj (:

This is why I like Fnatic, they're consistent although Neon is also strong but tomorrow with XCTN and Neon, I think it's Neon who shall win.

Well TNC has performed well so far even though the series versus Boom Esports was very close in all 3 games and every game took longer than 60 minutes and therefore it was quite tense to watch as every bad executed teamfight in such a late stage of a game basically means a loss for your team, so both teams must have felt completely under pressure in those moments. TNC will face Fnatic, which managed to beat Neon with 2-1, now in the upper bracket final and for me the outcome of that series is completely unpredictable. The lower bracket matches are also pretty good but for me Boom ESports is the clear favorite in their series against Galaxy racer.

I haven't watched TNC and Boom but I'm happy that they've won against Boom and they're going to continue at the upper bracket. As for TNC and Fnatic, I'm rooting for Fnatic.

did i jinx Neon by saying they were one of the main favorites to reach the final?  no chance against Execration, even the first game, as entertaining as it was, shoulda gone to XctN but Natsumi was great in the first team wipe

but that xp they (XctN) farmed in the Animajor is certainly paying off right now. Boom - Execration in the next bracket? maybe but Galaxy are putting up a good fight against boom, anyone else watching it?
 
later, TNC - Fnatic. First ticket today hit, have a feeling the next one is also gonna hit. It's hard to pick a winner at this stage of the qualifier, teams are pretty much at the same level

That comeback from TNC yesterday was unbelievable, I stopped watching after they're down by like 20k gold and thought BOOM will close things out since they manage to destroy the base but overextended while doing so.

Decided to hop on the over 2.5 train as well after seeing most of the series go to a third map unfortunately betradar doesn't have the markets right now so I took the juice on betsy.

but that xp they (XctN) farmed in the Animajor is certainly paying off right now.

That and at the same time Neon picked up a new offlaner.

Now Live: Gambit Esports vs K23 I'm sorry for the team K23 they had a very hard enemy, im now they will lost 
And later Natus Vincere vs Team Spirit great match to watch im think that Natus will win butt Team Sprit is a good solid Team they can win.
in 50 min Play BIG vs SKADE that match win BIG they play better, hopefull BIG get this jear a comeback back to the Premier Liga.

They are gonna need another one just about now. Again 20k down against Arc Warden, getting close to 1 hour mark. Good game so far and would love to see 3rd map but I don't think they are coming back this time around.

An early congratulations to Fnatic, they are the first team to get into the grand finals. Although not yet sure but this is why I'm counting them to get that slot.
Meanwhile at the low bracket, later it's going be TNC and Boom to match and whoever wins goes to the grand finals against Fnatic.

I hope that Boom or TNC will go to TI. So tired watching Fnatic got early eliminated of Majors and TI. They are consistently qualifying on all Majors and TI and showing a great performance on SEA region yet they are completely dominated against top tier opponents unlike TNC that giving a good match to top tier teams. Boom Esports has potential that's why I'm supporting either of the 2 team.

Well it's TNC Predator vs Fnatic now in the grand finals. This means two of the top 3 teams of this qualifying tournament in terms of DPC Points lived up to their roles as favorites and made it into the grand final. Only Neon disappointed maybe a bit as they went out quite early in R4 of the lower bracket against Execration but their series vs Fnatic was pretty close and they lost with 1-2. In the grand finals that are running right now TNC Predator are the favorites according to the bookmakers which is not that surprising as they played pretty well in the Animajor and only lost to the later finalist EG there.

Looks like TNC is just one win away from qualifying, a reverse sweep is unlikely unless TNC fucks up hard here. I think Fnatic still have the potential now that ChYuan took over Moon's position and it's impressive that they're able to mesh things right away with another new player.

For my bet of the day I got o2.5 on K23 vs Team Spirit if K23 gets away with an Inferno pick they could probably take one map just like last time.

Edit : I might've jinxed TNC after that game 4 win from Fnatic. lol

[tomahawk9]

I've updated the Calendar in the OP! Check it out to see the upcoming tournaments in the top esports

Gonna be a slow month in csgo with only one top tier tournament. I added a couple more new games to the list, looking forward to some hearthstone action tomorrow!

I'm sure you guys are watching TNC - Fnatic,  this is totally going to the last game, isn't it? fnc are looking really good in game 4, reverse sweep might actually happen

EDIT* it happened!! Fnatic won, wtf!

Hahaha. It seems that they choked already. Bok game from game 4 to game 5 is very bad as position 3. Raven and ChYuan is showing a consistent impressive game which dictates the game. I believe Fnatic already get this TI slot against TNC.

I didn't notice that moon already leave the team since I always avoiding any Fnatic match. LOL


I'm getting back what I said above about Fnatic on TI. They have a shot on there current roster. Moon is there only problem. 

[hanspeter77]

Next goes O Plano vs Extra Salt in not nothing from O Plano butt i now Extra Salt play not bad think they win.
Santos vs New Pampas the last 5 matches win Santos only 1 time im dont think they win today.
Early tomorrow River Plate vs Aorus Vision  that gone ba a very hard match for Aorus Vision dont think they had any chance to win.

Hehehe.
It's Fnatic that took the slot and I was correct with what I want to get into the TI10. They've been consistent as long as there's DJ and Raven while Deth and Chyuan.
Those two were good addition to the team and with another good and experienced player which is Jabz.

[Beparanf]

They have a shot on there current roster. Moon is there only problem. 

This what I'm alway saying everytime Fnatic lose on TI and Majors. They keep changing there Pos.1 and Side lanes while there Midlane is there problem. Fnatic game improved dramatically after moon kicked out. Raven can release now his full potential by fully trusting his teammates to do there job. The sweet reverse sweep is very intense to watch. I thought that my bet to Fnatic will gonna lose after an early 2-0.

I somewhat agree that moon was part of the issue but at the same time they probably don't want to drop him since he's one of the top midlaners in the SEA region. From my view their issue was similar to Team Nigma but it's difficult to find a replacement mid way through the season when you've spent so much time with the player.

Currently have a bet on Navi, hoping they'd beat Team Spirit so I could get better odds against Gambit later in the grand finals. 

[STT]

Navi should be winning this with far less doubts but looking like it can go either way.    Spirit have great aim but should not be challenging overall but here they are doing good work.  
 I bet Navi but even if I do manage the win, its actually the underdog bet especially live odds which was the one to take value wise.  Lowest frag here b1t on Navi is still a quality part of the team; Navi on eco win via a s1mple ace, +41 kills he kinda swings the odds.

Now the #1 and #2 teams Navi vs Gambit with gambit advantage by one map.    Navi have to get 3 maps to win and gambit only 2 so bet at least 3 maps I think is easiest option.   I dont like low gambit odds though tbh they are most likely to win, I'll put something low on Navi also

[hanspeter77]

Next goes for Tomorrow: Ence vs Lyngby Vikings  Ence is the better Team they should win.
Movistar Riders vs Saw very cool match happy to have time to watch this hard to say who will win, each team is good buut im think this is the day for Saw to win.
Endpoint vs MIBR  Endpoint win the last matches MIBR play not so good.

[batang_bitcoin]

On the NA region for Dota 2, the TI10 qualifier. I was rooting for a different team and not the winner but I acknowledge how strong the team of Undying based from their roster. No memes this TI10 I guess, there's no EE sama as his team Bumble bEE's didn't qualify.
There are two more regions to go, Western Europe Qualifier and China Qualifier. Two strong regions, the clash is for real on those regions.

[hanspeter77]

Tomrrow start the Intel Extrem Masters 
Start with the first match  Team Spririt vs MIBR  this match should win Spirit or they want lose to come on the Second place in Team, than they have not so a hard enemy in the next round.
Bad News Bears vs Mousesports Mouse will win they need the win for the Points.
Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Team LDLC  im think Ninjas win.
Renegades vs Team Vitality that should be a easy match for Vitality.

Chinese teams will definitely dominate this next TI because I don't find OG that much making any headline meaning that the other teams in the region are going to be much weaker. I didn't expect EE to get in because he doesn't seem to be in the right team plus he is probably up on his crazy strategies.
