Just watched Gambit - Hydra game and seen 4 vs. 5 game for the first time in my DOTA life. One gambit player left the game after 10 minutes and they continued playing as 4 and managing his hero a bit. After that it was just a matter of time for Hydra to take that 3rd map but Gambit gave them a good run and even had chances to maybe win the decider.

Mentioning it here so you know what happened if some bookies decide to void the bet.

Huge downgrade after Ropz left, and dexter still on the team but they bench acor and sell ropz wtf?   Mouz new roster looks does not look exciting at all, grim

 Its true NBK on raw play is no Ropz he might not even be as good as his former self IDK but I was hoping he could sew the team together.
Maybe Im biased too much to NBK but a good IGL can make all the difference as its an influence over 5 players not just reliance on 1 all-star.   Perhaps he is just there to pick up a pay check and wont do any homework or even really guide the team as I imagine.   I doubt they will have initial success, but they could develop.  Mouz was often in times past an upset team (and so too good odds), discounted as not tier 1 but then at times able to beat any team in the scene.   Ideally they become able to do this again, either way its a story Im interested in but I'm biased to all the old French major winners as they all seem flawed greats to me.

Just watched Gambit - Hydra game and seen 4 vs. 5 game for the first time in my DOTA life.

talk about ez money on gambit i meant hydra  
did the bookies void the bets? they usually take into account the final result of the game and not what happened during the game unless they suspect there was some 322 involved in which case they'll void it asap

Anyone here watch Team Tickles match, I was surprised how strong they are by defeating all strong team on EU except Team Liquid. I watch there recent match against Tundra and this my first to witness how Tundra give a2 one sided match against Team Tickles. I do research and I found that they are previously known as Vikin.gg. There new roster is very explosive and I feel a Team Spirit vibes in them. I hope that they can maintain there performance until they can get on TI

Me, I've watched their match against Tundra too. Team Tickles is actually strong if we're going to base them with their roster, their players are experienced. I've known only 4 of them except tOfU but regardless of that, they're a strong team. Just because the team name isn't popular, doesn't mean that they're strong. On Dota 2, there's no longer weak teams, all of them are equal and one's advantage is just the knowledge about the new meta and as well as professional experience.

[hanspeter77]

Today not so big matches late rplay Party Astronauts vs Strife  think Astronauts will win they are mutch stronger.
RBG Esprots vs ONET4P RBG should win this they have mor experiense int he Game.
Reddragon vs SWS Gaming im think reddragon will win its not easy but i think they will win this.

Yeah, I'm actually impressed on there team fight and they counter and pick-off the enemy carry. There game 2 PA supposed to be a slow phased for them since there's Razor and Bane on Tundra but they show an opposite result after they consistently kill razor on early game. All them are very good on there own role especially Ace as offlane since he keeps killing skitter and nine during early to mid game.

For some reason, I like VP @1.70 vs NAVI this is the last game for NAVI and even though VP still has another series this is basically their best chance to get their fourth win since their last match would be against Team Spirit. In some way, this is like a tiebreaker between third and fourth place but i'm leaning on VP to win since they look slightly better than NAVI. I also think the over should hit but i'm not too confident on it since all it takes is one outdraft.

Nahh, Tundra is literally is having some problem in there coordination during team fight. They commit a lot of misplay and Fckn FATA keeps doing feeding frenzy in back to back game. His positioning is always easy to spot even though his hero is very squishy. I'm rooting on Tundra for that game since they have a good draft especially Game 2 yet they let Phantom Assassin farm freely without pressure and Invoker keeps picking them.

I also think that Virtus Pro should win this series as they are just the stronger team overall in my opinion. I don't know but i also feel kinda sad to see B8 losing so clearly with 0-2 again. Dendi was probably the first big star of Dota 2 but now he is nowhere close to the best players and best teams anymore, but that just shows that the game keeps on evolving and back then when Dendi won a lot with NAVI the whole scene was still pretty amateurish in comparison to today. But hey as long as he is having fun playing competitive Dota 2 he should keep on doing it and i guess he can still live from it with his twitch streams.

If you watch carefully the game, You will notice how good TT on team fight  especially there setup and vision all over the map. If you watch how invoker move on game 2 which all his tornado is on point for setup and also SandKing burrow strike epicenter on game 1 always do a game changer in every team fight. Tundra is not weak during that fight, TT is just better in every aspect of the game. Let's see if they can keep that game phase on bracket round.

[ralle14]

I don't know but i also feel kinda sad to see B8 losing so clearly with 0-2 again.

Tbh B8 should've been eliminated last season but for some reason, they're able to keep their spot due to one of their teammates having ownership of another team.

Taking Liquid -1.5 @1.73, this is the last match for both teams, Alliance is already relegated and even though there's no reason for Liquid to sweep this series I still think it'll end 2-0 given that every team (except for Coolguys) took them down in a 2-0 fashion.

I like the first game of them. Team Tickles really played well and got the control of the map. I mean instead of Tundra should be everywhere because they have spirit breaker and IO, they've dominated that lineup with theirs through map control. Their game 1 is impressive, I'm really are impressed with that because I've been playing and against with SB and IO, they're hard to get out of map since if you're far from your teammates, you'll definitely going to be gone too soon but Team Tickles, they know how to counter it.

Today start the ESL Meisterschaft Spring 2022 Germany

finally, tier 1 csgo teams are gonna start playing tomorrow! Astralis v K23,,  astra 1.46 last night, now the ML sits @1.29, oh well i'll take my chances with -1.5, a bit risky cos this is their first competitive game in a while so they're gonna be a bit rusty


kinda weird to see Astralis in Funspark, but hey, 150k for the winner, or 50k for 2nd place, that's enough motivation alright

Its been a while when I bet in csgo that time is the era of the team liquid and astralis who conquers the world of csgo, i didn't expect that they will change their rooster also they hold xyp6x but currently they dont have a good standing on the match whats the web you are using to check the standing of the players like stats, maps, rooster and winrate? so I can add this for additional information when i try to make a bet again. Currently im using gosugamers.

IG vs Aster starting in a few minutes, took the over 2.5 @2.00 since I don't think IG would go down without putting a good fight.

Also, I think Aster will take this series but IG should get at least one map since they're in a tough spot sitting at the second lowest spot of the standings and their next game will be against LGD so they're likely to get relegated unless they pull off something crazy and win both series.

i also got burned in dpc cn today cos of VG getting 2-0'd by RNG,, i overestimated VG, this new roster is absolute crap  

also, Astralis couldn't close out map 1 against K322,, at least the hedge i had with Alliance +1.5 vs. Team liquid went through,, seems like Handsken was the problem LOL the stand-in that replaced him today looked pretty good in game 2

tomorrow im thinking: +2.5 OG v Tundra and T1 v Fnatic, LNG -1.5 and maybe DWG kia to lose a map against Nongshim? if there's a person who knows Showmaker and Canyon's weaknesses and how to exploit them in the rift is their former teammate Ghost  

[hanspeter77]

Tomorrow 2 cool matche sin the Funspark ULTI 2021
Fnatic vs BIG  im hope BIG win butt its gone be hard Fnatic is the better team, butt im every time for BIG Germany go 
Gambit Esports vs Extra Salt  for sure will Gambit win they was the whole last jear one of the best teams in the world in cs:go.

Aster took the game with a score of 2-0.

The first game is close, from early to mid game but I don't think that IG's line up is going to be par with Aster's at the late game. I don't see any good reason why they've picked TA and didn't finished the game too early when they're still good and tie with them.

Since Aster's carry is Anti-mage, also, they lack of disables.
