Surprised to see EG go down against 4Zoomers on their first series, I was expecting EG to drop a map but dropping a series this early would mean they have to win the remaining series if they plan to qualify for the third major.

I cant imagine how would they win against another top NA teams if they cant win against Nouns. We'll see though, they probably slip in their first game due to their new roster but imo they were just bad

Not many interesting games left today

You didnt consider Tundra vs Alliance to be an interesting game? well yeah it was pretty a one sided game after all but still a top tier dota though

Does anyone make a bet with the recent match of the Team OG vs the Team Secret.

Yeah and lost, it was a close one


Taking this for tomorrow, there isnt anything left for Europe region tomorrow so yeah this one should do

It's like that they're going to get any place and will be back to division 1 too easy. I wonder how they're going to perform if their opponent is the usual one they fight in division 1.

If they cant get back to the 1st division then they might as well want to consider to disband the team. They are actually decent, way better than the last DPC for sure but they are far from their prime. They were pushed out by the 2nd division team to only left with 3% win probability, thats kinda show how bad they are though because if it was against any 1st division team then Im pretty sure that they wont make any comeback from that 2nd map

I don't think that they'll disband even if they won't make it but I'll not be negatively thinking that they'll able to get back on division 1. I'm sure that they can make it happen and be with the other strong teams again in the division 1.

With what I've read, it was Sumail that has contacted nigma and then they've acted quickly of kicking ILTW. I guess they've also wanting to try something new and sumail isn't a questionable player. Imagine in a team in division where all 5 players have been TI winners? That's something promising and they have to prove themselves that they were once there and will be back again.

Some analysts say that if the team would still end up badly, it's not about the new recruit like ILTW and Sumail but it's about Kuroky that has to step down and be better guy and have a transition from pos 5 to being a coach just like what notail did.

Stanislaw world class IGL playing at the moment for a team called Bhop, how the great have fallen.    On the basis he does have alot of experience I put down 3 maps vs Bad news bears.    

Another one Complexity are in theory not a bad team, ranked 24 over their opponents in Dubai tomorrow; OG ranked over 30.  However the odds are close to 4 to 1 for Col to win because they have been crash and burn in most recent games.   Can they come back in the heat ?  I'll go with 2-1 OG win just for fun
& a multi all the favorites to win Dubai Thurs

Blast Premier next Weds

Today some cool matches in the Global Esports Tour 2022: Dubai 
the first match is now live to watch OG vs Complexitiy gaming first map win Com.. second map OG  each team will win this, last map should win OG.
MOUZ vs Falcons Esports for sure win MOUZ they are to strong.
Movistar riders vs TyLoo  that gone be hard for TyLoo, they dont have any chance to win.

Does anyone make a bet with the recent match of the Team OG vs the Team Secret. In this match of game one, it is already in favour with the Team secret because their draft is so good against the team OG and again unexpected build by amar the f makes a viper offlane with a damage build of skadi and dragon lance to fight against the razer which is ideal to counter their pick, also this game it does not give a good positon for Taiga to commit a 3-5 man blackhole. During the game, the two teams secret tried to pick again with the razor against the morpling but the game becomes snowballing because of the continuously losing in the clash. They don't have enough damage with this game that's why they got conquered with the Morp and Tiny carry.

The match was typical as OG won two straight games.

I think that Team Secret is still in trial mode with Crystallis as Puppey picked two Razors for him, both game 1 and game 2. I'm not impressed with him and maybe he's still in adjustment mode.

But he has to show that he's worth it in the team. You know Puppey, he's the typical guy that if you don't perform well, you'll be kicked.

Another one Complexity are in theory not a bad team, ranked 24 over their opponents in Dubai tomorrow; OG ranked over 30.  However the odds are close to 4 to 1 for Col to win because they have been crash and burn in most recent games.

when teams face a NA team, ranks are unimportant, the game will either be a really close one or the NA team will underperform. Regardless, the fact that COL just lost to this OG roster says a lot about their current level. I genuinely don't know why the Complexity org doesn't disband the csgo division  

anyway, watching some Pinnacle Cup right now, BIG - Fnatic has been really good game, dropped some mbtc earlier when i saw map 1 was a stomp

Fnatic's new roster looks really promising, nicoodoz is such a good player

btw, i'm surprised by the production of this event, other than the terrible face cams, rest of the stuff is top notch, could easily rival some top tier events like BLAST premier for example, really cool

[boyptc]

Speaking of Fnatic.

I'm watching the match of Dota 2 Fnatic and NGX.Sea.

Currently, it's 1-1 and it's a best of 3 series. I'm just waiting for the 3rd game to happen, first game Fnatic dominated but NGX.Sea has turned it upside down. While on the game 2, I thought that it's going to be a win again for NGX.Sea but Fnatic tied the series.

The highlight on this game 2 is when jhocam(tiny) was on the fog on the rosh pit and then Fnatic got into the roshan pit and he's not noticed because he's standing on the fog of war.

To make it easier to understand, I suggest you guys watch the reply of their game 2.

[ralle14]

I cant imagine how would they win against another top NA teams if they cant win against Nouns. We'll see though, they probably slip in their first game due to their new roster but imo they were just bad

I agree it doesn't look good for EG but still doable since it usually comes down between TSM, them, and QC.

You didnt consider Tundra vs Alliance to be an interesting game? well yeah it was pretty a one sided game after all but still a top tier dota though

I forgot to mention that series, I did watch it but only the first game though, 33 was just going ham against Alliance.

I'm watching the match of Dota 2 Fnatic and NGX.Sea.

Same, no lead is safe between these two teams. It felt like game 2 should've been NGX to win but their carry hero sucks, easily getting bursted during team fights.

[execijutiere]

Fnatic has built a good team. I think they just need time and it's not difficult for them to achieve success in a short time. We will wait and see.

Turkey's super team eternal fire has recently entered a new path with imorr.
Imorr took the igl role from woxic. I think the team lacks a coach. There are problems on every map when holding B sides and they still don't realize it.

Actually team secret makes a lot of changes with their team line up with their carry and with their fight, they pick Razer two times which is easily counter and also not ideal for a 5v5 match it is just dependent on its second skill and ulti most likely they use a refresher and daedalus only to get a damage with it, I feel the same they will kick again their carry actually Matumbaman or Sumail is enough that they regret and give up these players.

I really thought that the game 2 was already the end. Honestly, despite the hero pool they've got on that game 2 and 4 melees including the supports, it's an almost win for them.

We've seen that Fnatic was having hard time dealing with them but still managed to snatch that game 2.

The match ended for game 3 and it's for Fnatic, again, when it's Fnatic's match then the opposing teams should give the respect ban for Armel's KOTL.

Yeah watched that as well. Considering that Alliance was top 2 teams in 2nd division but they were basically trashed by Tundra, I kinda think that there is a huge gap between 1st and 2nd division in WEU region dang.

I feel the same they will kick again their carry actually Matumbaman or Sumail is enough that they regret and give up these players.

Probably not, there isnt that many top tier carry left that hasnt found any team as of now. Besides that, the TI qualifier is coming so the ideal move would be to go with their current roster rather than getting a new one but with that said, its still the 1st game though so anything would have happen at the end of the DPC

Just needed CIS-R to win the 2nd map then Im good

Edit : busted, oh well

I expect too much with the match of the OG vs Complexity at the first 15 rounds of the game team OG can make a good plant after that they cannot make a good position making to defend the bomb which leads towards to making mistakes and get a losing streak of that rounds. After the switch team, they can defend their positions which makes the scores into 16-11 and they got too much pressured because of the 3 more rounds needed by complexity.

[hanspeter77]

in the Pinn Cup Championship today 2 cool matches.
Heroic vs Team finest  sorry for Finest they cant win Heroic is to good think that gone be a 3:0
BIG vs Astralis im hope BIG win they can win. BIG play very strong this jear btt Astralis is not to bad, we will se a hard match.

[ralle14]

I agree there's a big gap with the current promoted teams compared to the previous tour.

While in the CN region, RNG lost the series just now against Dandelion who recently got promoted from the second division. RNG did okay as they manage to build leads during the early phase but they're struggling to maintain their lead during the mid-game for some reason. Dandelion on the other hand looked promising as they could contest one of the major spots it'll be interesting to see how they'll perform against the other teams.

[Peanutswar]

Theres a dota update currently happen which is a lot of changes of the heroes stat, cooldown and etc. and one of the major awaiting of the Pro player is Marci added to the game in Captain mode actually this is the first official match of Marchi in Team Nigma vs Fnatic, Nigma and it is good with their draft because marci can combo with MK but Fnatic makes an outplay Chief Armel pick a kotl which is a huge advantage in terms of farming and Ganking with an early burst of Dagon, vessel and its solar skill. I guess they will adopt this in the new meta for this upcoming TI.

[tomahawk9]

completely missed the start of LPL summer split,, good cos i would've gone with Weibo -1.5   doged a bullet on that one

anyway, we have a few csgo games worth watching today: Heroic - Finest and BIG - Astralis. My picks: -1.5 and over 2.5 respectively. Later on, NIP - OG. Ninjas to win @1.6 not too shabby, they're missing Hampus, but Ztr is a good sub,

Just needed CIS-R to win the 2nd map then Im good

Edit : busted, oh well

it's gonna take a while before this CIS Rejects roster clicks. They stand no chance against TS next sunday,, should a quick 2-0 but no value in TS -1.5 hc.
Navi - BB, that's a different story, +1.5 hc Navi decent value right now

[Balmain]

There are remarkable matches in two organizations today. NIP and OG teams will meet in the Global E sports Tour Dubai semi-finals, it's a nice semi-final match, I think the two teams are close to each other. For me NIP sounds a bit superior. In the other Tournament, there is the Astralis and BIG match, I can say that the recent victories of the BIG team win attention.

I think Nip will be eliminated. Og has better firepower than Nip. The recent transfers of fiku and neofrag made a good start. Og will reach the final. Nip will also lack a main awper.
Mantuu is definitely a better awper than es3tag.

In the other match of the tournament, mouz eliminates movistar riders. I want to see mouz-og in the final.

Astralis/big , astralis I think is one step ahead. Blamef and konfig are doing their best but not enough. They have better players than Big.
