I see alot Blast matches should be good to bet.  Putting down Astralis to win but EG get 1 map is 3.2x odds which seems good to me and similar for Vitality vs Liquid.
  Right now is also Dreamhack qualifier matches with Mythic vs a team of people I never of, Mythic arent fully serious retired streamers etc and dont practice especially last I checked so I'll just go with 3 maps low bet for fun because certainly they have the experience to challenge most upstart teams

EG to take a map is risky, not sure if there's value at 3 odds, I don't even know what map they can take here since their map winrate is pretty much 0% across the board

plus, last time they won a game was like 3 months ago, they're on a 6 game losing streak, garbage performance in the ESL pro league, they're missing Brehze so they'll play with a stand-in...

i went with Astralis hc x1.9

EG have gone through changes and in last ESL they also finished not winning a game so I also think Astralis should find an easy win with both maps win. As for Vitality vs Liquid, Vitality were really good in ESL and should find a win here against Liquid as well. Hope all games turn to favourites and there is not any surprises packed up there.

I got the same bets too, riding that Astralis handicap even though both teams are missing key players, EG is still at a huge disadvantage.

Then Vitality on the next series, as Avirunes mentioned they showed good results in the previous tournament and that form should carry over coming in to this series. With that said I think their odds should be somewhere around 1.45 or lower.

Speaking of EG, earlier today Bitcasino made an announced about their partnership with EG.

Astralis are really playing it well and are going strong so far in the match against Evil Geniuses. Its onto second map and they already have 7 rounds advantage with scoreline going at 10-3 and I think its safe to say Astralis will this given the way are playing and giving EG no momentum to catch on to them in map 2. I am looking forward to other match Vitality vs Liquid- both are big teams, its just that one team is in form and other team also has good players but yet to catch on to some consistent form.

Really Amazing to see this  . Great to see part of sportsbet.io getting on to some good sponsorship.

The Astralis-Vitality match is currently being played live on the Overpass map. Vitality seems comfortable for now, already the overpass map Vitality is the main map of the team. The second match will be played on the nuke map. I predict Vitality will win this map as well. Our other match today is Evil Geniuses vs Liquid. The odds for Liquid are around 1.10, so I'm not surprised because Evil Geniuses is having a bad day and is one of the teams that has a hard time getting a win.

EG to take a map is risky

I soon learned yep, what happened please Tarik come back.    Just this set of games says alot, somehow Astralis looking not their best also because it has to deal with a new team setup I guess:




The odds for EG vs Liquid now is 6 to 1  but they are both NA teams who know each other better then most.   Still its cursed now :p

Its gone to as high as 8.5 to bet EG, I went 3 maps a small amount.  No point taking 1.04x or similar bets imo.    Could always bet EG then cash out when or if they ever come to challenge rounds wise on a map
  The casters both NA also describe Daps as residing on death row almost, ex valorant refugee now here injured and stating he wants to leave active play; explains alot.  He does ok in this clip though

[tomahawk9]

Astralis - Liquid later today...danes to win x3 odds looks tempting considering Liquid always choke when they face Astralis, granted they choked against an astralis with device and glaive in the roster. But I'll go with maps (nuke-vtg-inferno, probably)


btw, Valorant Masters Berlin semis start today...i may watch 100T - Envy 🤔

EG org riding that crypto bandwagon...first, the Coinbase deal, now this...too bad the partnership money won't be enough to save the csgo division :⌃)

what happened please Tarik come back.

said every single EG fan
1 win in the last 14 games, and in most of those games they had Brehze and Stanislaw in the roster so they've been crap for months now and by the looks of it there are no signs of recovering.
but, look on the bright side, we won't see them in any t1 tournament for the rest of the year (i think)

Astralis still without gla1ve is doing well. Yesterday they were giving close fight with Vitality so I think they still could surprise teams. With Liquid being out of form, I think Astralis has a chance to win if they play like how they played yesterday against Vitality. Lot of problems going on around Astralis and I really do expect them to win something now.

Btw with gla1ve out, who is leading the team in Blast? Magisk?

[SUPERSAIAN]

The final match of group A will be played between Astralis and Vitality. I couldn't follow what happened in Team liquid, astralis match today, it was a surprise result. How did  Astralis beat Liquid ?

Back to the Vitality- Astralis final. Astralis doesn't have much of a chance against Vitality team so I guess they will win 2-0 Vitality.

[tomahawk9]

it's gotta be, right? i haven't paid attention to the player cams to see who's calling the shots, but i don't see any other player in that role, must be Magisk

Back to the Vitality- Astralis finale. Astralis doesn't have much of a chance against Vitality team so I guess they will win 2-0 Vitality.

ended up going to the decider   the game versus Liquid was a bit of a warm up for Astralis

anyway, astralis giving me some wins in Total markets

over maps x2 odds and rounds x1.8 each...will give in-play another go, gotta keep up this momentum!

btw, totally unrelated but, anyone else watching AOE2 'Red Bull Wololo V' tournament? such a comfy game to watch on a saturday night    and in other news, Valorant Masters - Berlin, Envy and Gambit will meet in the Grand Final...gotta say 100T - Envy was fun to watch, will try to follow the final tomorrow

[ralle14]

Going for some valorant action today since blast is scheduled to start tomorrow for the next groups.

For the VCT finals i'm taking Gambit @1.5 I don't see any value in this pick since the opening line was at 1.80 basically it's a coinflip since Envy is also on a tear as they took down the top two teams in their region.

Well whoever it is , it is working for them . Great match against Liquid and a great comeback to go to finals against Vitality.

Nice one toma, must have been a good money maker for Astralis backers there. It has been sometime now since I have seen Astralis making a comeback. Liquid has quite some notable players and Astralis with team going on through changes and winning without in game leader gla1ve is remarkable.

[hanspeter77]

some cool matches tomorrow Team spirit vs Eternal fire that should be easy match for Spirit.
G2 Esports vs MIBR UI that gone be a crazy match sorry for MIBR im think they gone total destroyed.
Ninjas in Pyjamas vs BIG the best for this day   BIG play very good in the ESL league they had a chance to win, its not easy butt possible, im hope it

yeah there is plenty good match will be coming up soon . and interesting to follow in CSGO.Top two teams from each group advance to the "Fall Finals" and
as a fan of the BIG team at csgo. BIG vs NIP, a balanced match between the two teams has the same probability of winning.

[finaleshot2016]

Did you hear the news guys? GAMBIT eSports of EU is the champion of VCT Berlin.
I've thought SEN will dominate the whole VCT Berlin tournament but I'm completely wrong, SEN can really bleed.

Now let's wait for Last Chance Qualifiers and after that, the Valorant Champions will start!

We can see the complete participants here: https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VALORANT_Champions_Tour/2021/Champions

I'm proud that our PH Team, Team Secret is a participant in the international tournament!

i managed to watch the first map...very close game, though i couldn't follow what was going on sometimes because of how chaotic everything is with all the heros and all abilities that i don't understand  still, it was fun

as a fan of the BIG team at csgo. BIG vs NIP, a balanced match between the two teams has the same probability of winning.

bookies are favoring NIP, but i also believe this is a 50/50 match, mainly cos the germans have a better winrate in most of the maps. I'm going with Over 2.5 maps here. Map picks I'm expecting D2 (Big), Nuke (nip) and Ovp/Inf decider

BIG are a good team and they could spoil NIP plans here. Still I am gonna go on with small stake on NIP today in their first game in Blast mainly because I like their team coordination. Yeah it does feels like an even match though and might easily go down to over 2.5 maps. It will be good contest to watch.

[STT]

I was watching a Valorant stream of some big games but they made no effort to explain anything to those not fully upto speed on all the finer points of the game which is essential to building an audience, the game is still new in the bigger picture.    They havent yet hooked me anyway, good to see Steel and Hiko pop up in the names anyhow.

G2 vs mibr is going to G2 and probably in 2 maps I think so no advantage to be had there.    I think Nip vs Big should go favor Nip because they are improving and coming together as a team where as Big has lost a big part of their firepower so would seem far more likely to struggle plus I would rate them as them as underdog even under perfect conditions tbh.  Hedge with 3 maps

I agree after losing XANTARES it seems like BIG will continue to regress while NiP is still in an okay form, even though they've had a few losses here and there they still have the edge on this matchup since they looked competitive during the previous tournament. I think they should be priced at 1.50 but I somewhat understand that opening matches is a good opportunity for underdogs to pull an upset.
