ESL One Fall 2021 Tommorow exciting games between Virtus Pro vs Tundra both had win streak so far at group stage. I think this is a fair match for betting. with odds that I believe will be balanced later. match 23 august i bet for VP . Can't wait for the match!

@ralle  Unfortunate
i expected that LPL match to be 50/50 so it was the only one that i skipped. 2/2 for me today




happy to see Faker back to the big stage of 'Worlds'. G2 and Fnatic last game is going to be insane...happy to be one of the +300k viewers witnessing what could possibly the most epic game of the year so far, probably the best series in this rivalry in a very long time! EDIT*  G2 are not going to Worlds. Sad times

Group B totally disappointed me with very surprising results. I was claiming that G2 would come first in this group, but they couldn't even get a win, what exactly is the problem?. Other than that, I didn't expect these performances from Forze and Sinners teams, anyway, it's nice that other teams compete so much, I will be more careful when making a bet next time.

Yesterday was nice days since win 2/3 combo and win some high odds single bet from PSG.LGD. They play bad since lose their midlaner and their coach only can play 1-2 heroes.

Bookie is Acebets io since it is the only one accepting BNB.

My next combo bet https://imgur.com/a/g8O4rTx

IG should able to dismantle Aster aries 2-0.
Team Aster is no 1 team against china team, in 2021 they have 3 winstreak against elephant and 5-1 H2H. expect a win for them.

Alliance +0.5 i think it safe since it is PSG.LGD without their mid
VP -0.5 biggest gamble since Tundras is at their peak, but we know VP is online gods so just taking good odds.
Spirit -0.5/ML it will be stupid if i lose this combo because this match
Liquid +0.5 i hope it safe and no more throw pls liquid

I will do single bet later when game already live

Just spotted Apeks vs Endpoint which has the underdog in an early lead despite 50 ranks between the two teams.    Neither is perfect, Boros just making a mistake of inexperience of overcooking guarding the bomb when all he has to do is wait for defuse 1 v 1.  Sometimes less is more, he is only 17 so I guess this figures.   Overall Endpoint should take this and I put small bet on 2 maps.
   I might have overbet considering I just randomly saw the match available to bet but Endpoint took sinners and spirit to 3 maps, beating Sinners and I've watched them many times before they should pull through unless they flounder into a fast 2 map failure somehow.

VCT masters berlin will start soon, ready to bet now guys?

There is some good news here because our national team is competing in this event which is BREN eSports, therefore I'm looking forward to this match and believe they will put up a good fight if they are made to play with SEN. But, of course, SEN will once again dominate these stage 3. Don't forget to bet on this match, and keep an eye on Gambit and SEN!

I cant bet Valorent but I will endeavor to watch matches to see if I might in future, depends if I think its enjoyable to watch or not.  I like the game itself in a fun way but not as much as CS.


I should have not rushed my bet on Endpoint, Boros is very new and with inexperience it seems.  Doesnt excuse the other 4 not pulling it together but I already know a new roster in any way can be disruptive to teamwork etc.   I won on the sidebets which doesnt cover my main stake,  Apeks was 3 to 1 to win the 2nd map.  Apeks won on momentum well played I guess, had to leave before it ended.

I will ask a Polish friend about Boars vs Wisła playing tomorrow, at the moment I would just guess ENCE goes through

Interesting to see OG string a couple of wins, this series against forze is probably the most crucial match since it could decide the tiebreaker incase they end up with the same record. With that said i'm taking OG@1.45 I honestly don't like the odds as I was leaning on the over 2.5 this match but after those 2-0 results against VP and G2 we could see another sweep.

The Dota teams started to prepare for TI10 now. So far it still seems like a mess because of the new patch. All the strategy got changed again and we don't know if there will be some fixes before TI or if this is it now. I started to follow some more pub games to see how the top players are doing. But most of the time i just see some meme strategies, like for examples Venge coming back as carry. It will hard to predict the winner this year.

We'll probably get a couple of small patches before TI but it shouldn't change the meta that much. I haven't caught up with the patch but tbh it's good that they released the major patch somewhat early as the meta was looking a bit stale.

ESL One has been so chaotic. Liquid and Thunder Predator sitting at the bottom of their respective group, beastcoast haven't lost a match...wtf? Still, i'll try my luck in the last day of the group stage with a draw between Alliance and Team Liquid

another single will go to the esl pro league, over maps G2 - COL...d2-nuke-vtg, yeah that looks like a game going to the decider, no?

what are your picks for today? what are you watching?

It will hard to predict the winner this year.

a team from CN or SEA region will lift the trophy

we could see another sweep.

i thought the same. i'll drop .5 units on -1.5 just for fun

It's a bit of adjustment for the teams qualified I think, not a lot of changes and the only ones that are really new is the neutral items which isn't really game changer unless it's tier 4 or tier 5 NI. I think this is good because we will see how good they are with this new patch.

Agree on this. I watch the match of LGD and Alliance and I'm how the heck dying buff or am I missing something. This is my first time to watch again Dota2 as I'm a bit busy, I don't have time to read the patch notes but the only thing that has a major changes was the removal of some neutral item. LGD still without nothingtosay in there roster.  I believe they might get the TI title this year.

It's important to read the patch notes if you want to keep up or you can probably watch games to stay on what's currently happening, I read the patch notes so I don't have to watch matches and just see the highlights plus it's not the tine to bet yet, I am spending all that I save in The International.

They've done well but are struggling on both 1st and 2nd maps here.  I took a cheeky live bet on 3.2x while they look badly down on their own map pick, CT side inferno I figured they might come back or at least put in a good effort.    They might just scrape it back and take 3rd map also, they are the higher ranked team but today it might not be enough.

I just took a look at the 7.30 patch notes and there really is a lot to read. The changes to the normal items and neutral items don't seem so big but if you look at the changes to the heroes and their abilities than you see that a lot of heroes have been changed or adjusted so i think that was really a major balance patch. I think that the teams will definitely need some time to test out all the changes to the heroes and to come up with new strategies and hero line ups and that we will definitely see new meta heroes now, but i also think that this should be no problem for the teams as the TI is still 6 weeks away and they have plenty of time to adjust to the new patch.

Virtus.Pro start strong today in the ESL  an win 2 maps in arrow, SinnerS had no chance today.

That series between OG and forze was too close for comfort, I must say that was not worth the sweat but i'll gladly take any winnings.  Today i've locked my pick on Complexity map 1@2.02 assuming the first map (Mirage, Nuke) will be their map pick. I also wanted to go for the series winner since this is a must win for Complexity but then again this series is close to a coinflip so I had to switch after seeing their recent h2h result.

[tomahawk9]

VP always ban Nuke so that leaves Mrg for COL. It should go to COL unless they're into some 322 stuff behind the scenes cuz VP are dogshit in this map. I think it'll be mrg-d2-ovp unless VP feel comfortable picking Vertigo after beating Sinners in this map yesterday. I'll go with the Over maps at 1.93 boosted

does anyone have any tips for the ESL One Fall playoffs? tomorrow we'll have Team Empire - Spirit and Virtus Pro - PSG.LGD

I am out of touch with CS, following DOTA almost exclusively from eSports niche. Had a very nice pick on RNG this morning, hopefully football will come trough as well.


Regarding matches tomorrow my money is on Spirit, don't know why but I am always betting against Unique, and on over maps in PSG game. I am expecting PSG.LGD to continue with their slightly strange drafts since they have very wide hero pool and I can see that tactic working once and failing miserably on other map. Must admit it is much easier for me to predict games between teams from same region, this clash of styles is throwing my gut feeling and I don't know how to compensate for it yet.
