🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[arallmuus]

I was also eyeing this series but I decided to skip it since it's too unpredictable for me.  

The fact that it is unpredictable was the reason that I decided to take this over bet. I mean both teams are currently not in their best condition right now so either of them would be able to win a map from each another so yeah glad that this one hit the spot

Fnatic vs Talon seems like a solid matchup later today and i'll probably go with the over 2.5 as all of their series have ended up 2-1.

Decided to go for winner bet, picked Talon for this and the odds was 1.99 so I thought it would be a good odds considering that Talon had beaten Boom Esports recently but it seems Fnatic is just so much better compared to Talon. My other option was the over bet but glad that I decided not to take it, saved a couple of bucks because I didnt take this lol

Holy molly! The first major upset of the Roobet Cup, FURIA losing 2-0 to 9z, Anyone couldn't have foresaw this.

They lost the first map after leading 15-8, and succumb to 10 straight round losses, still got it square in the first OT but couldn't get a win.

Those suckers are the only one to ruin this beautiful ~10 Odds, every other team came through.. whew!

[vennali]

Is it just me that, even though chinese DoTA has very high production and good casters now..but it still feels like its rigged? random pauses and crazy moves after pause. Like carry randomly farming in the dead lane showing on the map..while the teammates are far away on the other side of the map or really poor smoke plays. Even in Tier 1 Dota. One of the reasons why I feel most matches go into 3 maps or there are some shocking losses out of the blue.

devastating, 1.1x odds  BR teams are having shockingly bad performances lately,, But, i would go for another big acca with main favorites (obviously without Furia bots), seems like they're taking this tournament seriously, and with a 250k prize pool who wouldn't (:

but I'll leave CSGO for another day, been waiting for more LEC Summer action all week and it's finally here! i've got Vitality ml x1.76 and Fnatic x1.68

and for those LoL fans, reminder that tomorrow we'll have: V5 - RNG and DWG KIA - T1 🔥🔥

For the tier 1 teams, I've been one of the people amazes by their play style and gameplay. But about production, I don't know because I don't watch them. I don't look at the castings there because I can't understand it.

If it's related to their players, sure that they've been one of the best and always never disappoints.

Although, I understand what you've said about something suspicious even in tier 1 plays and I can't also ignore that and sometimes those plays were really questionable.

It was odd because you are viewing the game without fogged and you know the posyof the enemy team while the players point of view is very different because they are just predicting and anticipating enemy movement. Sometimes carry do that especially if they are really want to complete the items since dead lanes is the least place a carry will farm and enemy team will not anticipate it which means the carry will get a free farm if he can do it quickly. This is the gambe they are risking assuming the enemy is not in the nearby camp. Chinese dote in Tier 1 is far from rigged because it will be caught easily if they are doing in purposed those technicality issue that you point out.

Of all the bets you've made, the only ones I see as risky. There was a Mouz - Imperial match. There are a lot of experienced ex-stars in the Imperial team, brazil's best players like Fer and Fallen, I thought they would be effective against mouz but when I watched the match, I saw how bad they were. The Imperial team may be the weakest link in the C group. By the way, the furia match was a very unexpected result.

Is a day with 2-0 games on Dota and so far I'm not missing out.

Had this 2 great bets today on NaVi in Dota 2 and both hit.



Also , it was nice to hear from NaVi players that they are having personal coaches right now and all those coaches have a main coach on their own so nice things might happen with NaVi as they seems more focused than ever or at least last few years.

Now I'm blasting Nemiga vs Cybercats , had Nemiga on 1st map and also 2nd map as I'm rowing with 2-0 day.

[ralle14]

Watched some league earlier today and didn't expect most of the favorites to drop maps and OMG pulled an upset against LNG. Anyway looking forward to some LEC later as Fnatic vs Mad Lions is the last game of the day and the most interesting one as well. I got Mad Lions @2.16 and hoping for an upset as Fnatic got their first loss against exceL while Mad Lions lost against Rogue.

It looks like Nemiga was close to losing the second map as Cybercats were leading 8k+ networth but they turned it around and win the game, nice work in taking Navi on both maps.

Congrats and wow for having personal coach for each of them. Did they said that through an interview? If it's true then they're now truly investing for each of their own player.

Usually, it's only one coach for the entire team.

So with NaVi, they're having 6 different coaches? That's a lot of budget for them to have but every time when TI is near, every team is doing something like this for better development to qualify there.

[vennali]

Faze vs BIG

Faze lost 10 rounds in a row in the first map, to lose the map 14-16! What are the odds of that happening? They lost the match 2-1 as well. With a team filled with superstars, its surprising that Faze are in this predicament. They were supposed to win Majors but they are losing a lot more than what you'd expect the previous version of Faze would. Surprising to say the least.

Well , not all of them but most of them are having personal coaches for pubs games and then they share  data and stats of their games to the main coach, so pretty impressive if you ask me. Also , it seems that more and more pro players are starting to do this for their pubs game so competition might get super tight during this year.

I wonder what will Nigma do against Boom tomorrow as they have an attractive odd of x5 and Sumail is there as their new carry and also they are kinda force to win in order to keep their hopes alive for TI qualifiers.

[arallmuus]

but it still feels like its rigged?

Probably not rigged but some teams could be pulling 322 just like how PSG.LGD lost twice then suddenly back into their form today by beating Aster  . Nah just kidding, probably they are just less motivated to play as they are most likely already qualified

I decided to bet on Aster to win against them though, odds was over 5x and yeah should have known better that this is a trap 


Going ham today by betting on SA region. The odds are decent and they are clear favourites team on this region so yeah I just hope that Thunder Awaken wont do anything weird to put this onto the 3rd map

devastating, 1.1x odds   BR teams are having shockingly bad performances lately,, But, i would go for another big acca with main favorites (obviously without Furia bots), seems like they're taking this tournament seriously, and with a 250k prize pool who wouldn't (:

Biggest upset of the entire tournament for sure .-. Odds were like 10x+ for 2-0
Seems like we underestimated them, even though they had a very nice run at RMR LAN.

Today was a good day, things went well except for faze shitting the bed. Faze didn't seem too serious on overpass, even though it was the decider. Maybe being an online tourney, they don't care?  

My preds for tomorrow
EF ML- Imperia
Outsiders ML - Furia (risky)

If anyone is reading this rn, you can check out B4 vs Isurus. B4 is playing with a coach, so Isurus has a very good chance

FURIA will get eliminated if they lose the game tomorrow, so I don't think they will honestly, things just happen to go really bad for them in the first game because they seemed to have the game under total control at some point, I'd expect them to bonce back with a easy win tomorrow, perhaps even a 2-0, I think. Outsider did have quite a performance against Forze in their opening game too, but I really don't see them getting past FURIA.

[STT]

The highest team in the world losing games after winning the major is a bit of a danger to beware of.  Dont think its altogether unexpected, they got their foot off their gas pedal now maybe after spending alot of time training prior to the major.   BIG was traditionally a giant killer now they are one of the best teams, its not an entirely improbable result at least it was 3 maps, 2 would be shocking.   Also think about counter strats, everyone studies the success of the highest team and everyone wants that prize themselves, inverse of a new unknown team who is off the radar and able to surprise more easily and not studied at all like when Fallen first appeared etc.

I will go with OG and Movistar to win their matches.  Imperial/Fallen lots of red loss recently unfortunately, I will go with 3 maps for their match and also Furia match too as both are capable of the win.

[Mauser]

There some nice CSGO matches coming up this weekend as part of the European Roobet Cup 2022. The first place is getting 150k USD, it will be very competitive. Today the most exciting match should be Eternal Fire vs Imperial, they both lost their first match so far and need to win today. I will go with Imperial for the match, even though they are underdogs I think the Brazilians still have a great team and should manage to pull through. Astralis is playing against Complexity tomorrow, should be an easy win for Astralis. What is more surprising is that BIG actually managed to win against FaZe and is first in the group. Also tomorrow FaZe will play against the winner of OG vs Entropiq from today. Should be an easy win for FaZe, they already beat OG 2-0 this week and they will likely win against Entropiq today.

I wonder what will Nigma do against Boom tomorrow as they have an attractive odd of x5 and Sumail is there as their new carry and also they are kinda force to win in order to keep their hopes alive for TI qualifiers.

Well , I had no idea that Nigma has a sister team in DPC SEA and I was wonder that when I saw the draft and players name and I was like : huh ? where is Sumail ? Where is Miracle ? . Then , I searched and found out it's their sister team from SEA region and they just won against BOOM with that total odd x5 which I didn't take it because I don't know the players haha (. Now , should I play the 2nd game with Boom winner or stick to Nigma and 2-0 scenario ? I think I will straight skip this game and wait for the next one.

[vennali]

Crazy comeback by Nigma Galaxy SEA against Boom eSports. Being down 2 racks and Dota+ giving them under 10% chance of win.  Dreamocel playing against his old team, made a few clutch plays and helped make the incredible comeback.

[Harkorede]

I've got a double on FURIA and Fnatic to both win on ML today for 2.3+ Odds, FURIA were rated quite high before their first game in the Roobet Cup, but the rating seemed to have dropped significantly, I'm however convinced that they'll turn it around and at least make it to the playoffs, anything less than that would be an epic fail to be honest.
