I thought the OG series will be played today as I remember one of the team's socials said it'll be pushed tomorrow but it looks like it'll be postponed indefinitely as there's no confirmed schedule for now.

Anyway, I dropped a unit and a half on RSG +1.5 @1.66 as they'll be facing against Lilgun, I think there's a bit of value on RSG's handicap since they're able to beat Lilgun in Moon Studio recently.

Some bookies have them close to 60-40 in favor of Lilgun while Betsy has RSG at like 70-30 which puts the handicap at decent odds.

Yeah, other next games are likely to be delayed as well. Let's see tomorrow if the schedule will push through for NGX vs Gladiator and Tundra vs Team Secret.

But I think as long as the OG and Liquid game is delayed, they're also going to be affected but still, let's see.

Good luck on this bet.

Lilgun is an underrated team but always gets to beat those popular teams like T1, TNC, and the others.

Furia unexpectedly surprised me in this group. Let's see how far they can go in the playoffs.

out of all the teams from group A and B, furia have been the most dominating side. We'll have to see how Gambit and NaVi are doing because it feels like they're the only teams left that could give Furia a run for their money

good value bet right there. RSG had won two series in a row without dropping a map before today's game. I might give Betsy another shot   i stopped using it cos of the high margins, but it looks like you can still find some good lines, though i wonder if you could've done better in the sportsbook by using the daily boost

[hanspeter77]

another great matches in 3 days in the ESL Pro League Season 15
Players vs Movistar Riders for sure win Players this match they are to strong for riders.
BIG vs Party Astronauts BIG will win this very strong 16:2 or something.
Team Liquid vs GODSENT my prediction Liquid will win this they have more skill.

Not really following the DPC Sea division 2 and had to check this team after reading your discussion. Seems pretty solid huh for a team that get into DPC in an open qualifier and on top of that 3/5 of their players dont even have a dedicated page about their profile in liquipedia yet.

It seems RSG alongside with either Talon or TNC might make it to division 1. Winning 3/7 games with 2-0 is a huge deal at this point, its like halfway through the DPC already

Do the tolerances really need to be down to 2 minutes, did they have that tight a schedule to broadcast that they cant just discuss for a little longer.     Poor team, maybe they can get a starlink satellite uplink and a power generator as backup like Ukraine peoples

Most of these events concerning DPC have a strict schedule, albeit them always being late for broadcast by 10-15 mins on their end. Idk why they don't allow for any grace period even further on online matches. They aren't losing much by allowing teams to get their shit together for a couple more minutes due to technical problems. It's unavoidable, and they know it. Even they have encountered lots of technical issues in the past and no one can even penalize them for the delays.

I guess its normal before the game starts there's already a rule regarding the game its not all about the players and the team it's all about the schedules and the event organizers they don't want to delay the other match because the match didn't attend by the other participants at the same time it affects the final game which is already prepared and schedule, of course, the outside thing like the third party betting sites too they will refund all bets.

The handicap on their sportsbook were sitting at 1.35 and their match winner market was 2.15 at the time so the daily boost won't do any good and that's why I switched to Betsy knowing they tend to lean on the favorites. 

Another example is the Secret series Betsy has Secret @2.23 while Stake has them at even odds earlier today. With that said i'm going with Secret today as there's too much value on their side as I think the bookies are giving a lot of credit on the side of Tundra based on their recent performance.

Sad news dor Nigma Galaxy fans out there, they are all tested positive for COVID-19 except for Gh which they are still waiting for the result. There’s no update whether they will still play or not but there performance will be surely affected if they continue to play since there’s only 3hr23mins for there next match with Gladiator. Betting on Gladiator is a sure win!

I was shocked on what happened that all of them are positive for Covid and pretty much sure it would really be a great effect on their performance.Is there any postponement?
but since they do only play on isolated place then for sure it would be still continuing. Does betting on Gladiation would still be that possible for this situation?

[STT]

2 madLions matches today back to back which could be a little hard on them and surely theres a chance it overruns into overtime.   Maybe they are accommodated in that possibility or not we'll find out.  Anyhow I think I will just stack them as a multi bet, ENCE and 3 maps vs Hellslayers.    They could lose both fast but I fancy the most contested route, Hellslayers is ex fantic including JW who recently was seen just walking through enemies with flashbangs and flanking the entire team unawares basically something that is never supposed to happen but for JW is quite normal even in his 'old age' apparently :p

Just got off work and this is what I got as a news lol. I was waiting for this game to be live and see whether Seleri has matured on drafting and can command a team of pubstars against some big names. Even though NGX tested positive for COVID, I don't think it will still be a walk in the park for Gladiators. Their recent performance is okay, especially against big names like Liquid and OG a month ago, but the inconsistencies on Seleri's drafting sometimes cause them to perform rather lousily on matches that they have a clear advantage on.

Tundra just smashed Secret in Dota2 with a clearly 2:0 against them and the funny thing is that Secret didn't manage to get 10 kills in either of the maps. My thoughts ? I think sumail is way over rated by the community and also he doesn't fit in Secret game play style.

If Tundra keeps playing like this , they might have a great chance for TI this year.

I thought it's going pretty well when he switched places with Nisha?

Just on their previous matches Sumail was way confident of the switch, and mentioned that the carry meta heroes on this patch works well with Secret's tempo. Well some games it does,  some games they're just dumpstered. Also, Yapzor is, IMO, slowly fading away as a great 4 position especially on early rotations. There's a lot going on in Secret during this match against Tundra that I think just needs some recalibration (or getting used to). But yeah, Tundra played like beasts on this match and no doubt they deserve this win.

Going for at least 1 map for Secret on their next match against OG. Both are having troubles finding their form, but I think they'll be able to let us watch some good Dota.

Players sounds so dumb to be honest. I understand that there are sanctions against Russia, but its a esports team that has been around for a long time, just changing the name won't do much. Atleast the gambit players can compete on an international stage. I am a big fan of Hobbit, he has a long career with gambit. Should be a sure win against Movistar Riders. Team Liquid vs Godsent should be the closest match in the group. Maybe Taco brings some Mob skills to the game and they could win this one. BIG vs Party Astronauts looks to me like a sure win for BIG again. Gambit/BIG are my two favourites in this group.

Yup Secret looked good at their opening series, then in this series, Secret got outdrafted twice in a row, during the first map Tundra picked heroes that can run you over and control the tempo.

On the second map, the KOTL mid is just broken together with other sustain heroes that can drag the team fights for so long while Secret is going for an ambitious IO core lineup.

Unfortunate, that the Nigma series got postponed due to COVID issues and it also stirred some interesting discussions as others said it was unfair when compared to BOOM's situation.

anyone watching any games today? there's a big game in DPC div2, Chicken Fighters v goonsquad. I've booked a goonsquad win at 1.5 odds, good enough for a single. Alliance at 1.4 odds vs Bald, also decent for a double but i'll pass

ESL pro laegue group C starts today, BIG are favorites against Liquid even though the germans will play with a recently promoted player from the academy, hmm 🤔

The BIG team has a four-game winning streak. I didn't know that if you hadn't said so, they would have played against the players from the academy. I was going to bet accordingly, now I'm thinking again to bet. The other match in Group C will be between Movie Riders v Godsent. The Brazilian team have lost four of their last 5 games. They are in decline as motivation. I want to give the Movie Riders team a chance in this match.

EZ 2-0 for Entity against Brame. The match is very cool to match since there’s a lot of team fight in every minute of the game. Well played on Entity pos 1 to carry the game even though Stormstormer build especially skill build doesn’t give much impact in the game. Entity got punished during early to mid game due to there support focusing on there mid as backup while leaving Brame pos 1 free farming. It just happened that Bloodseeker has good itemization on the game to provide good damage output against Wraith King. Nice profit tonight.

Just watched the replay for Polaris and BOOM on SEA DPC. I must say, I'm impressed with how Polaris went toe-to-toe with a seemingly untouchable BOOM Esports. The only veteran player that I can recognize on this lineup is Mac, the rest are either young bloods or pubstars that haven't scratched the tournament grounds just yet. I love a good early rotation, and BOOM is quite known with their aggressive plays early on in the game. But Polaris knew how to counter this and sometimes turns around such engagements. I will have my eye on Polaris for the next few days for the SEA DPC matches. They're something worth betting for IMO.

Their next match is against SMG, a team which consists of veterans like midone and ninjaboogie. Polaris +1.5 should be the play here, but taking them as match winners should also be good value. If Polaris can go head to head against BOOM, then they can probably take SMG for a ride, too.

Polaris is playing some good DOTA in this last patch and they can go toe to toe with almost anybody. One map handicap sounds like a nice and secure way to go when odds allow it. Did not watch them against Boom but I watched a couple of games before that and they were always on point.

Taking Chicken Fighters to take at least one map against Goonsquad later today as my only eSports pick for the day. Rest is some tennis from Miami.
