NiP looked clean against Fnatic so i'll give it a shot @1.63, I think Entropiq should grab a map but NiP should get the edge if it goes to a decider.



Also is their odds against mouz seem good @1.80 (scheduled for tomorrow) at first glance it seems trappy but if they're able to beat Entropiq today I don't think it should be close to 50-50.

I agree, NIP are a solid squad of talented players. Could have been better with Dev1ce on it but at the moment, they play with freedom and no high expectations. Just trying to do their best. Their best should be enough to dispose off Entropiq. Who surprised me to day by beating G2 but, G2 were terrible.

Entropiq was good, but cannot convert most of their openings into something mid-round. NIP just showed us they're the better team because they can easily shut down Entropiq's aggression and their mid round calls were just always on point, especially on Nuke, through which NIP never gave a round after the half. On the second map, Entropiq tried to get a map from NIP, but crucial clutches made by REZ and plopski destroyed Entropiq's economy every time, which lead to them losing the entire map. Anyway, still a great showing on Entropiq's Overpass map.

There's not that much interesting tournaments lately after the Dubai's Gamer's Galaxy. Most of the actions and tournaments right now are in the SEA region.

Here are the two:

Moon studio Kagura champion --> https://liquipedia.net/dota2/PNXBET_Invitationals/Southeast_Asia/4

&

PNXBET invitationals --> https://liquipedia.net/dota2/PNXBET_Invitationals/Southeast_Asia/4

Most of them are tier 2 and 3 teams.

I'm also surprised at how G2 lost in a 2-0 fashion but at the same time, it's good to see mouz stepping things up once again since they're kind of up and down recently.

NiP performing well as expected, if they keep up this performance until the end of the group stage they should secure the quarterfinal spot for the playoffs.

Most of the current tournament sponsored by PNXBET is so boring to watch and only exclusive to PNXBET casino(AFAIK). Betting on match there is super risky because there’s a lot of reported match fixing on lower tier teams. We have only limited data about these teams since most of there match is not officially broadcast by local streamers so we are only relying on hunch and odds set by the bookmaker. Let’s just wait for DPC tournaments to make sure we are betting on quality match.

I’m very excited on how teams will maximize the patch on the DPC tournament. More crazy line up on the road.

What a good performance by NIP beating Mouz on rounds that matter. That 2nd map overtime is really fun to watch that I don't really care whoever wins. NBK is on his usual carry mode while the rest of his team can't convert any openings into good rotations that can disable NIP's movements across the map. Everyone on NIP really performed well on this matchup against Mouz, and I think it will be a breeze to go past against Looking For Org, but that team also has a lot of crazy mid round plays that helps them convert bad situations into wins.

I'm just for the action if it's about PNXBet invitationals. Well, a tournament like this is like a pause tournament where most of the top tier teams are on rest and you just want to watch some actions.

Yeah, DPC tournaments are coming soon and that's going to be another action that we should enjoy. It's just a few days from now on and whoever wins will be qualified to Stockholm major.

Gen G -1.5 vs Hanwha Life Esports seems pretty good even at 1.45 knowing they're one of the worst teams and even if Chovy isn't playing they already played with their mid sub Ophelia in their last series vs Damwon which ended in a 2-1 win. As long as they get decent drafts it should be 2-0 at the minimum as they still have some solid synergy even without their core player.

Skipping CS for now since the odds are too low aside for the G2 vs Entropiq match and even with those odds I still think it should be closer since Entropiq were able to beat Mouz.

NIP really started this tournament well. They have played three matches so far and won all three. Currently, the NIP-LookingFororg match is being played live. An easy team for the NIP, if they win this match, they will be guaranteed to get out of the group. The other favorite in group A was the G2 team, although they were favourites, they could not make a good start. They lost two of the three games they played.

I just saw on T1's facebook page that their 5 players for dota 2 are altogether now in their boot camp. This is a good indication that most of the upcoming tournaments that they'll join are going to have no excuses because they're afar from each other.
This is good for coordination but I haven't seen their coach and analyst, march and QO respectively are not there. Maybe they're going to come soon or they're good to work while they're in South Korea.

It’s normal since the upcoming is a DPC points tournament and they missed a lot of DPC points on there previous tournaments. They also acquired Gabbi permanently while the covid-19 restrictions is slowly being lifted so we can see most of the team to play in bootcamps since they will need to grind more DPC points for TI. I believe they will still having a hard time when they fight BOOM in any tournament. I’m not a fan anymore by T1 since they have inconsistent game performance based on there previous matches.

aleksib is back https://www.hltv.org/news/33417/aleksib-returns-ahead-of-fourth-day-at-epl
g2 moneyline got slashed to 1.4 after the news but i managed to grab it at 1.55 earlier today. I think there's a chance +2.5 maps hits, Ancient and Nuke are good maps for Entropiq. Still, we should see a much better G2 without Amanek bot

Odds even dropped lower @ 1.35 at sportsbet.io. It's a relatively safe bet knowing that amanek is out of the roster and aleksib is back for the game. But still you're right that Nuke is a good map for Entropiq especially their T side. Personally this is a skip, as Entropiq is also a good team that can pull off some insane clutch plays for their own, and also knowing that G2 lost to Mouz and Fnatic, two relatively weaker teams compared to G2 as of the moment. Odds were good before the aleksib announcement, but right now there's no value in it.

It's noticeable that they've been inconsistent because AFAIK, Kuku has said because they're not all together so the owner/ceo of T1 esports have granted an answer to his complain of being altogether as a team.
Also, with Boom Esports with what I know, they're also together now in a boot camp together with their coach, the legendary Mushi. All teams have prepared all of this and that's for the sake of the DPC points which everyone aims, to be in the The International.

Entropiq vs G2 game was in theory close and yet Entropiq seemed to have a steady calm to finish the game without slipping.  I post just to put up the last moments of the last round which was quite a crescendo, I didnt think they had this quality to make G2 consigned to their fate when it would be so easy to slip in your grip.   I have to rate them much better then I did previous.  In reality neither team was doing badly, just a very nice execution in both meanings of the word won it for Entropiq.

Pulled the trigger on Rare Atom+1.5 vs Weibo Gaming, I think Weibo is getting too much credit from the bookies. Few weeks ago they're on pace to take the first or second seed but recently they regressed and lost two crucial series against other top oppositions. Rare Atom on the other hand is finding some form but they still need a win or two to secure their spot for the playoffs as the other teams are just a win or two behind from taking over their current position in the standings.

Dota2 News: Team Orca(SEA BTS pro champion) has been disqualified by valve forever due to alleged match fixing and playing with two team owned by Team Orca. This is the second time VTFaded become disqualified for doing such things. I really feel disappointed on this since team orca has a potential team to compete on upper division tournament considering there run on there BTS series. They are too greedy on money which leads them to abuse all the tournaments in lower tier.

Entropiq eliminate G2 from epl playoff contention. G2 put up a good fight, but they couldn't get the results they wanted in this tournament and they should reconsider some of their strategies. This squad should get much better results. There are three matches in Group A today. For a G2-NIP match, NIP might be a good choice. They have a good series of 4 matches and they can continue it. On the other hand, there is the Fnatic-Entropiq match. Teams on the rise in both teams. When I look at the odds, I think Fnatic can make a surprise result in this match, no matter how much Entropiq is favorite.

Just as I have expected. Entropiq really finessed their way to the top 3 on that final map. It's a shame that the overhyped monesy cannot do anything, especially with dead weight amanek or even aleksibot. Everyone was excited for aleksib return but apparently he even performed poorly compared to amanek. G2 odds even shifted heavily upon the announcement, but what a lackluster performance on the series. Regardless, Entropiq performed well. Not clean CS but their rotations looked solid as they progress onto EPL.

On the other hand, there is the Fnatic-Entropiq match. Teams on the rise in both teams. When I look at the odds, I think Fnatic can make a surprise result in this match, no matter how much Entropiq is favorite.

It's a toss coin from this point. But I agree Fnatic can take Entropiq for a wild ride. Overpass is a good map for Fnatic T side, and a questionable Vertigo pick from Entropiq may even cost them this series. Neither teams are good at the map, but in recent results, I'd go for Fnatic on that map alone.
