Exciting match ahead on WEU DPC points which OG and Team Liquid  will be fight for securing the top spot. There is currently no available odds for this match because thegame will happen on July 13 but I’m wondering what will be the odds for team liquid +1.5 on this match. I’m confident OG will have the odds advantage because they are the Major Champion but I still believe on Liquid that they can get a single match win against OG.

This will be a crucial fight because OG only lose is from Tundra while Tundra only lose is from Liquid. This happened before on WEU wild card which this 3 teams fight each other give same result. If my assumption is right, OG will defeat Team Liquid on this fight because they usually counter each other. Hahaha but +1.5 is a clever choice on this game, I’m just not sure if you can get a good odds for that regardless of what team you are betting. It's better to bet on over maps.

The NaVi-NiP battle was not what I expected. I was hoping it would be more competitive, but NaVi crushed her opponent.Especially the performance of newcomer sdy was decisive in this regard.In Nip, igl hampus is really doing a tremendous job. For an igl to perform this well is very, very unexpected in terms of kill.

Heroic was eliminated from the tournament by Mouz.Obviously they were a good team but I didn't expect them to be eliminated by Mouz.They must have missed something.

I'm glad to see that Eternal Fire have finally found their fifth player after Calyx's departure. MAJ3R is back again! He was a part of Space Soldiers team in the past and he was a really great and important player for the team. He passed to Valorant actually but the team still became successful about convincing him to play for themselves in CS GO. I've heard that paz also quit Valorant and waited for him to come to Eternal Fire too. But for now there is only news about MAJ3R. It would be nice too see hardstyle being Eternal Fire's new coach too as I don't like bishop's coaching much.

I am very happy that J3R has been transferred to the team. Remember the times of a really good IGL space soldiers. A captain who gets along especially well with Xantares, and they played together for a long time. The lack of IGL in the team has always been a problem. While the team was being formed, w0xic tried first, then Imorr, but these players have different missions. I'm glad the Eternal Fire team intervened at the right time.

The IEM Cologne 2022 tournament in CS GO is continuing now. We have our first upper final between Natus Vincere and Movistar Riders this Sunday. Natus Vincere have performed as always until reaching this stage. To be honest, I was expecting NIP to make some difficulties for them but Natus Vincere just destroyed them. On the first map which was Overpass, s1mple and sdy were really awesome to watch. Especially s1mple's marvelous ace with an AWP was worth watching.

chill saturday



anyone watching NIP v G2? elimination game. what a banger 🔥 i would've gone with NIP to win. They lost to NaVi the other day, but Rez and Brollan had a really awful game. If they can step it up a notch they'll definitely give NiKo & co a run for their money

[arallmuus]

I finally hit another decent parlay today. Kinda regretting that I didnt take -1.5 for Boom but all good for now because even without that I got a decent odds on VP -1.5. Also kinda expected Alliance to lose there, so I took -1.5 for Entity but honestly though they played so bad in the 1st division and they are going to the 2nd division even without winning a single map so far

It's going to 3rd map, NIP is destroying G2 on Nuke.
Nuke is g2's kryptonite lol

Mouz vs Vitality is turning out to be neck to neck affair too, I wasn't expecting Mouz to get so close. They are over-performing for sure. 3rd map is going to be fun

Congratulations.

That game of Fnatic and BOOM. All I can say that Boom is truly strong, they've showed how strong they are with other division 1 teams.

It seems that their match against Fnatic was too easy for them and they deserve to have that secured slot for the Arlington major. I hope that they'll get a showtime their and how they've performed on this tour 3 will be the same there.

[vennali]

Crazy to witness Vitality and G2 get knocked out by Mouz and NIP respectively. Both G2 and Vitality are supposed to be top 5 teams. Both going into 3rd and the decider map where the favorite teams did make an attempt of coming back after lagging on score but couldnt successfully close it out. NIP will face Mouz in the next round. While the only consistent team remaining Navi will be facing a rejuvenated Movistar Riders.

I also slammed Entity's handicap yesterday since Alliance still doesn't have any offlaner in their lineup.

Thinking of taking RNG @1.78 vs PSG LGD later today, only one series left for RNG and it's a crucial one as well because if they win this one they'll avoid a potential tiebreaker with Aster and take the first spot together with the 500 points.

[execijutiere]

I think Hampus performing like this as igl is a huge advantage for nip. Even if Hampus is in faze for example, faze can be an unstoppable force. With such a frag contribution, we can say that the team will have a much better firepower from the igl side. Nip defeated G2 and Mouz defeated vitality to eliminate them from the tournament.

Today, the lower bracket semi final matches continue.
I think Liquid and Spirit will continue in the tournament.

I just saw that C9 is back on CS:GO scene and they have the old team of Gambit Esports. Apparently , C9 bought the entire roaster of Gambit this year and they are trying to be back on the big scene or win a major. SO far , it doesn't look good for C9 but you can't blame them as even if they have the same players, there is a different pressure when you're playing for C9 as they have the biggest fan base when it comes to Esports. Or did TSM pass them ?

[KTChampions]

Enough LOL from me for today. The first value bet at 3.5 lost that's fine, but the second... TT started the second game with a score of 7-0 and eventually managed to lose.



There is a big temptation to take a T1 victory on the first map, surprisingly the underdog shows decent resistance.

T1 Esports 1,4
Fredit BRION 2,7

Yeah, Russian teams had an issue entering big tournaments and the organizations couldn't just keep up with the unpredictability. So, teams went up for the sale. Its been a while since it happened though. TSM doesnt have a CS go team right now isnt it? or you are talking about all of eSports combined?

[Distraction]

Something is wrong with Cloud9 these days. Because after winning the IEM Dallas tournament their performance started to go down significantly. I wonder what the reason behind this is. Here in this tournament, firstly they were defeated by Astralis 2-0 and they are under the danger of losing the lower semi-finals game too now. Team Liquid is already 1-0 ahead and we are on Vertigo. This is Cloud9's map pick and their success rate is 80% (on 5 maps) here. I'm favouring them to win this map but it is doubtful if they can make it to next round.

[Beparanf]

As expected on the yesterday match between Alliance and Entity, Weeha and the gang is not on the level anymore of Division 1 teams. Weeha keeps caught off guard and entering in the clash without clear objectives while there support is useless. I can see the pain of Nikobaby as carry to work with team like this.

Because of there loss, They are now relegated to Division 2 once again where they really belong.

Liquid defeats C9 to advance to lower bracket final. Yekindar played a big role in beating C9 with a good performance. He didn't show himself much in the 00Nation and Spirit matches. But today he showed his difference in the C9 match. Besides Yekindar, Liquid played better as a team than C9.

Furia managed to beat Spirit. Spirit could have won the mirage map. But it was unfortunate for them. In this way, it extended to the overpass and furia finished the job at the overpass.

We're gonna watch Liquid and Furia battle it out. I think Liquid will be the winner.

[Harkorede]

Movistar Riders just picked up the first map against NaVi, A flawless CT half for them getting 10 straight rounds to keep NaVi at bay.

SunPayus and Mopoz are the ones doing literally all the damage, and s1mple heroics just wasn't enough for NaVi to get back into the round.

[1kodumtek7]

It is surprising to me that Liquid beat C9 this easy (2-0: 16-11, 16-9). C9 said farewell to the tournament earlier than I expected. I expected Spirit to get past FURIA also but they couldn't. Now there could be another surprise in this huge tournament. NaVi is 1-0 behind against Movistar Riders currently. Things aren't going very easy for NaVi on Mirage now too. However I don't want to believe that they will be defeated by Movistar Riders. I hope NaVi will make a comeback from this disadvantage.

NaVi looked as if they were going down to a 2-0 defeat after the first half on Mirage, but they just reminded Movistar Riders how good they can be in the second half, s1mple with most of the heavy lifting, electr0nic finally coming alive too, after being more of a burden for the NaVi for majority of the game, it was a though NaVi were going in to every round in a 4v5 situation because of his ineffectiveness.

Movistar would need just a good game, but a great one to win this now as we're all square once again.
