I was eyeing in tomorrows match which LGD vs T1 which is really very exciting.

Not that exciting if you look at the odds though. It seems PSG.LGD has really the upper hand in this match. Your $100 bet on LGD will only give you $11 if they win. But this is exciting if you are rooting for T1. Your $100 bet for T1 will become $560. T1 is really an underdog in this match. They are up against one of the potential TI champions this year. Lucky for T1 though because they were able to make it to the top bracket. Losing this time does not mean they're already eliminated.

That's why bookies offer map handicaps, already took T1 +1.5@2.57 in this match up since there's a decent value in the handicap knowing 3/4 of their previous h2h went 2-1 in favor of PSG LGD.

I just think it'll go to all three maps after seeing IG quickly drop a map against Team Spirit yesterday.

Edit : Holy cow, what a game 2 these late game fights are so insane both teams going all in and expending all of their buybacks at one point.

anyone else enjoying Worlds? no major surprises so far, although Mad Lions beating Gen.G was a bit odd

let's see if i can hit some wins

DK looked a bit shaky against Rogue yesterday, it was almost winnable for Rogue thx to Hans sama, almost... hopefully DK won't play around much today and get this over with quickly

already took T1 +1.5@2.57 in this match up since there's a decent value in the handicap knowing 3/4 of their previous h2h went 2-1 in favor of PSG LGD.

superb value. We're in the Main Stage so we can't really underestimate any team now. I already placed a couple of tickets earlier, but i'm tempted to go for Quincy Crew +1-5 x1.9...no crazy value like T1 but maybe worth it? will wait for the drafts to see what both teams have prepared for this stage...so far, OG strats haven't worked out, although they faced Secret, so  (game 2 was so hard to watch)

That fight was epic, I have never seen all 10 players getting killed and then buying back in the same fight. In the end you got your +1.5 maps on T1 and PSG.LGD took the decider easy. What was the odds on PSG winning decider before drafts? I wanted to play it for high stake but got held up in a meeting and came back when the odds already dropped to 1.1.

Same, first time seeing that type of engagement since it's usually just the cores or the support having enough for the buybacks.

After game 2 their odds hovered around as high as 1.22 I immediately took that and combined it with Team Spirit later against Fnatic.

Now live Gambit eSports vs HAVU Gaming  cool match Gambit play very strong and they dont lose die match
Gambit is the best team in the world this jear  when they lost its a bit LOL
Later play LowLandLions vs Coalesce, Coalesce is a bit better but im think Lions win this match.
Team Lemondogs vs Young Ninjas  im dont now about Lemondogs butt the ninjas are good in CS:GO they should win.

Two weeks before the Major, Bubzkji left the team and Dupreeh returned to the team for the Major. A very important change in the Astralis team before the Major. Without Device, I still think their chances in this major are very difficult. There are much, much better teams than astralis right now. Lucky is a very young player I guess it will be his first major experience I'm not sure?

Thats kinda on the smaller side but I guess we wont really get decent odds from any of the PSG.LGD games huh, quite expected from the heavy favourite to win. Tough luck for T1 there although they managed to take game 2 but I honestly thought that match would went down as 2-0 because PSG.LGD won almost all games in the group stage with 2-0 as well, that kinda showed how good they are.

Anyway we will have two upper bracket and two lower bracket games tomorrow. All teams are pretty even against each another apart from T1 that seems to be listed as favourites to win against Alliance according to the odds

That match of PSG.LGD and T1 is totally hype! It's like a grand finals match but T1 just lost at the third game and they're now at the lower bracket going to have a match with Alliance. I think that T1 can defeat Alliance on their match just a few hours from now and if ever they win, they're going to face either EG or VG. These teams are both strong and I think that they'll find it hard to go against with any of them but, I wish them good luck later on their do or die match.

Did anyone saw 100 thieves vs SKT T1 match of League of legends worlds?

Didn't check the betting odds of the match but it was easy to predict the match, there was no chance 100 thieves beating SKT.
The next matches are on 15th.

Funplus Phenix vs Domwon

I didnt expect that T1 could really make out at least snatch 1 game win against PSG.LGD which is known to be a strong team and cant still be that confident that they could beat up Alliance easily but hey
comparing it on LGD then i could say that they could handle it well and moving forward on upcoming matches neither EG or VG? then i could say that they would lost up against these things for sure
but we cant be still make out conclusions because everything could happen on where underdogs could beat up tier 1 teams on a tournament like this.

Yeah, they were the underdog for that match and as usual, we all have been always considering that PSG.LGD is a strong team and amongst at the top for top tier teams. I know that they can't go easy with Alliance as it is a best of 3 game but if they'll maintain the same performance on what they did against PSG.LGD, I think they got the upperhand. It's going to be CIS doto versus SEA doto and this is really one of the most exciting region matches that we're waiting for.

You've got your 2.57. Nice win. Congratulations! You've made a nice analysis as well.

I don't know what PSG.LGD was thinking when they decided not to ban Doom Bringer in game two. They must have thought they will still prevail the better team despite giving T1 both Doom and Magnus. T1 has shown comfort in playing with the hero. Perhaps Doom was the key in that game. 

The second game was indeed the best among the three games. But PSG.LGD is clearly the better team.

Lucky was not playing 100% last time I saw him, illness apparently.  It cant be too serious or they would not have included him but overall I dont think they can win this where as previous majors few could challenge the amount of consistent performance they had on multiple fronts.    Until I see different and maybe Lucky does improve massively but I rate them as missing a wheel, they will try to adjust for that and other teams will likely punish and take advantage if capable which a few top teams are now.   Navi is my long term guess but I'll judge better during the major.

Odds are in favor of T1 I remember the live odds are hovering around 1.2 to 1.3 after the drafting phase. I only caught the first few mins of the match then stopped watching after the first blood gank on the bot.

Locked in my parlay for T1 and EG @2.06, T1 -1.5 should've been my initial bet but unfortunately stake isn't offering any handicaps for the match. Very confident on T1 to win the match and even sweep the series since they have the better individual players. Same goes for EG even though they struggled quite a bit in the groups, I doubt they'll do the same mistake throughout the playoffs and the h2h favors EG as they took down VG during the animajor.

I went with different route and locked in Alliance and Vici to take at least one map. I agree T1 is closer to victory but odds are total rubbish so I went for value. Will be though but I hope nikobaby will manage to carry one map.

For the second game I am thinking chances are maybe 55% in favour of EG so I expect Vici to take one map easy.

Hopefully both games finish 2:1 for your choice so we can both be happy

Yesterday, PSG.lgd vs T1 was really something. Lost my bet on PSG to win the second map and make it quick but T1 really put up a fight. But had to put some good stake on the line on 3rd to recover that back.

That fight was epic, I have never seen all 10 players getting killed and then buying back in the same fight.

I was watching that, second map was it? Didn't had any idea what's going on but sure liked it lol. T1 vs Alliance today should go T1 very likely hoping the way they played PSG yesterday.

Many have thought that it would be a sweep as I'm also reading those active chat in platforms where the game has been streamed.

As of typing this, they're on the draft phase and it's making me excited and at the same time worried whoever lose this best of 3 and goes home with $800,400 as 9th-12th placer still not bad, what a prize.

Yeah the price pool of the TI is really huge and 800k for a 12th place is a lot of money. No wonder that the preparation of the teams is basically only focused on the TI because the other tournaments even the majors have a way lower price pool. To the match of T1 vs. Alliance i think that T1 is the favorite here. They showed a great performance so far and even managed to take away a game from PSG. LGD which is the big favorite to win the TI this year, while Alliance's performance have been pretty disappointing so far and they went directly into the lower bracket. The first 15 minutes of game 1 look still pretty even at the moment though.

T1 just won against Alliance. Alliance going home with $800,400 while T1 is securing $1,000,500 and will wait for the winner of the match between Evil Geniuses and Vici Gaming. Another good game to watch. As usual for the early game, you can't just predict the game even if there's more kills from one team to another and with tower pushes.

Because at that period of time, there's not that much action but knowing the situation goes with the mid-game. Around 25 mins and so on because that's likely we can see who's at the edge and has the upperhand.
