Maybe its time for Iceiceice to find another team and Secret shouldnt let Reso to be out of their hands

I have seen this comment a lot in social media. I wonder how will this affect iceiceice. It is exciting to see how will this develop for team secret specially if they finish strong in this tournament.

OG is good too and too sad for TS which most people been saying that TI champ was a fluke. hahaha

OG is strong and splitting their matches.
I feel like OG is still experimenting with their picks and combos.

Yes, it is really popular or main talks as of this moment on how Secret performed recently which beating up strong teams like LGD and Tundra which feels like nothing or they are against up some
amateur players considering that kill gaps from which is really that massacre for those teams and since Resolution was just stand in then i dont really know on what would be the arrangement
if ever they would decide on making it an official team member to be part of the roster. For iceiceice feelings then for sure he would definitely hurt but couldnt blame out fans or people around
because secret cant really just made out those plays if we do compare on past performances and now it is really much more better with having Reso stand in.

In this today's game for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022, these are my picks for today highlighted in green are my picks

Sandbox Gaming VS Gen.G Esports

Stake odds for this game are 5.80 for SANDBOX while 1.11 for Gen.G, I really think Gen.G has a lot of potential and if T1 and Gen.G would clash on a match for me they may have a chance, of adding a loss to T1 but for now, SANDBOX has 7 wins and 3 losses, while Gen.G has 9 wins and 1 lost, and on July 13, when this two teams clash Gen.G won a 2-0 win over Sandbox Gaming, for me I would like to bet on Correct map score for 0 - 2 for Gen.G for 1.52 and my pick will be Gen.G.

DragonX VS Damwon Gaming

Stake odds for this game are 3.10 for DRX while 1.34 for Damwon Gaming, right now I think DRX can win this but given prior time Damwon Exceeded DRX's wins because right now DRX has 6 wins, and 5 losses, while Damwon has 8 wins and 3 losses, but their July 7 clash result was a 1 - 2 win for DRX, for this game it can be too close, but for me, it will be a repeat of the past, for this Correct map score I have 2 - 1 win DRX with 5.80 I may lose here but for me, I think DRX can regain a victory here to make they winning increase to 7, I will go against the favorite to win and this will be the 1st time I will go against a favorite because my pick will be DragonX,

Secret is known to stomp the first few rounds of tournaments for years now, but they seem to fall off as the tournament progresses. Maybe because of their incoherent strategies or that they're giving their all early on in the rounds to secure top seeding or maintain the upper bracket spot. It's really a shame that Puppey can no longer lead a team to victory nowadays though I think he's still a strong contender when it comes to drafting and creating meta. It's just that he's making everything seem pretty obvious to their enemies which give them time to figure them out early.

I really think they want that top seed while the others are just participating to secure some cash since the last place in this tournament would at least get $100k. This is a good time for Team Secret to polish their teamwork and improve since they still have to go through the TI qualifiers.

This Riyadh Masters tournament format is pretty weird and it seems that the organizers want to finish it as soon as possible. Secret is raking in on all of the wins on the first stage of the tournament and they doesn't seem to put out some of the weirdest, most successful meta just yet; just them playing their minds out with Zayac and Resolution giving the best offlane - pos 4 duo so far in this tournament. I guess even without iceiceice they can manage to get this tournament on the bag, which might force Puppey to rethink who to bring on the upcoming Arlington Major before the International season begins.

which might force Puppey to rethink who to bring on the upcoming Arlington Major before the International season begins.

Well actually Team Secret wont be playing in the Arlington Major so that just leave them with the next ESL ONE Malaysia as well as the regional qualifier for TI. Even if he decided to swap out the roster, the DPC point penalty wont matter to them as well because they wont be qualifying through the points


I keep on losing my parlay so far, going for single bet. Tundra doesnt seem to have what it takes to compete with another team because they are playing with a stand-in so Im going for this

[tomahawk9]

from this to this

me right now:


hopefully that one ticket wins, otherwise, rough weekend ahead

I keep on losing my parlay so far, going for single bet.

this is the way

[ralle14]

Did you guys see the TSM series yesterday against RNG? even though TSM was down by a lot one of their players called gg during the middle of a teamfight that they're about to win.

this is the way

And live betting. 

I keep on losing my parlay so far, going for single bet. Tundra doesnt seem to have what it takes to compete with another team because they are playing with a stand-in so Im going for this

I got burned by Tundra as well, after watching their first loss against Team Secret I immediately avoided them.

[arallmuus]

Is this DOTA game from Riyadh Master as well? Dang

That one single bet ended up winning ! finally huh but I just cant seems to stay out of making parlay bet lol. I ended putting another one with lower stake though but it ended up going well

I got burned by Tundra as well, after watching their first loss against Team Secret I immediately avoided them.

Turned out I was right though, they cant seems to win against those top tier team without their usual roster. They even go with those weird draft so Im not sure if they are just trolling or trying something new

MOUZ have made a big progress thanks to the IEM Cologne 2022 tournament. I wasn't expecting them to perform this much well honestly. torzsi stated after the tournament finished that he hopes to bring this momentum into the next season as well. As long as they continue to improve their team performance I expect them to be more successful in time. This success in the last tournament must be a big motivation for them to do so. As you know MOUZ had really bad times before but it has been rebuilt.

( The source : https://www.hltv.org/news/34274/torzsi-i-hope-we-can-bring-this-momentum-into-the-next-season )

Frankly, no one expected this. In betting, MOUZ was always underdog and it was normal for the odds to be like that because they've been going bad for a long time, they did a really good job in this tournament, I think they can gain a good momentum. Torzsi's 1v4 clutch against G2 was very good. Even though Niko went to the kitchen very quickly when they were 1v1, Torzsi wisely set the spot for himself there.

Goodbye Team Liquid in Riyadh Masters.

They're the first to be eliminated from this quick tournament. But I guess that's a good thing for them so they can firstly prepare for the upcoming bigger event and tournament.

And that's the Arlington major.

I’m not surprised anymore because I’m doubting Ana as carry can replaced Matumbaman role properly since I heard the news about this. They clearly not in synchronized with Ana as carry since his play style is different to Matumbaman which is very strong on laning phase to late game while Ana is weak late game if he can’t get enough space that he needs.

I think many here hurt last night for LGD losing on Secret. I was surprised too but TS is very strong with this current line up.

Ana isnt weak but we know that he do keeps having that behavior of standing in and wont really be that total official roster of a certain team since he had stop-comeback again kind of actions.
You could really say that synchronization with him isnt really that good considering that he's just stand in then expect that there would really be issues with that but
i could really say that Ana is good.It is really just that teamwork wont really be just the same when Matumbaman is their core.

Honestly i have lost the bet on Tundra vs TS but i did make out some shot for Tundra to beat up that TI champ which had been said that it was a fluke.

It was a really impressive clutch I agree. I believe that torzsi is one of the best AWPers in the game now. He can be really unstoppable when he finds his rhythm. By the way, the best two AWPers for me are syrsoN and s1mple now. Especially s1mple is really like a legend at the moment. No matter he is aging his reflexes are still amazing. I become really surprised sometimes about how perfectly he can do those flicks with a high sense. Practicing is very important of course and it isn't an easy job for sure.

Riyadh Masters group stage is over with Team Secret and OG getting the top spot of their respective groups. Team Secret is still proving to be very strong, losing only 1 game to Team Spirit.



I do not have the odds yet, but it is very interesting to watch these teams battle it out in the playoffs. I think LGD and Team Spirit will move on to the next round but will see how the odds are before I make my bets.

And with Team Liquid going home as I personally never expected it but I did expect that Nigma will perform well and they might take down PSG and move into the finals as I they want a revenge game with OG for sure if they pass PSG. This should not be surprising at all as Nigma has massive talent into their team and a trophy is what Nigma is looking for a long time but Secret might just steal it all because they play nothing like they played 1 or 2 months ago 

[sunsilk]

Team Liquid is obviously not suitable for Ana carry. Ana is not updated anymore on this meta while he keeps playing like he doesn’t care on winning. OG is very strong team but Team Liquid is strong too since Matumbaman is only missing on this current roster, It only means that Ana is a dead weight to this team that’s why they can’t do anything against strong team especially OG that they beat back to back on the recent DPC points. Calling Ana as part time carry is a bad idea because he is already outdated. 

I'm sure he is updated as he's playing pubs.

Do not worry about ana being not fit with Team Liquid, he's just a sub to this tournament because matumbaman can't play with them there. He's just probably offered by jerax to play for them as he's coaching this team.

Speaking of OG, they're one of the first two teams to secure the 4th place together with Team Secret.

[arallmuus]

Anyway, securing the top 4 is pretty much no brainer on this tournament. Thats $225k difference compared to top 6, even The Major give only $200k for the top spot winner. The only letdown of this tournament is that, its pretty much a fast paced tournament and it would be better if it is around a week or so but yeah this is probably due to the Major squeezing in the tight schedule

[YuginKadoya]

Here are the result of the game yesterday on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Sandbox Gaming VS Gen.G Esports MAP 0 - 2 - WIN

Pretty much I have got the Correct Map Score for this game and yeah 0 - 2, and it was a one-sided game for Gen.G SANDBOX doesn't really stand a chance but on the 1st Map, SANDBOX made a pretty great game, because they have many kills on that game, with 18 kills but Gen.G just does the unthinkable if you can not beat them with killing push heir base, and so they did, Gen.G destroyed the path with 71.6k gold, 14 kills, and 10 towers while SANDBOX has 65.8k gold, 18 kills, and 6 towers, while Map 2 was another win for Gen.G with 67.2k gold, 26 kills and 11 towers, while SANDBOX has 55.5k gold, 14 kills and 3 towers, pretty much Gen.G has given SANDBOX a beating on this map, pulverizing them with 26 kills,

DragonX VS Damwon Gaming MAP 2 - 1 - WIN

Another Correct Map Score of 2 - 1 win for DragonX now this game I don't know what happens on Map 2 but I think they lost on purpose, but anyway Map 1 was very one-sided, DRX win has them 52.9k gold, 14 kills, and 8 towers, while Damwon has 42.1k gold, 5 kills, and 1 tower, and from that stat, it was really a great game to watch seeing your choice of a team is killing it, while on Map 2 this is a win of Damwon with 54.4k gold, 10 kills, and 10 towers, pretty much that is really something I have taken a break and then I returned what happen to DRX, but yeah it really happens while Map 3 was DRX win, that has 63.1k gold, 22 kills, and 8 towers, while Damwon has 55.9k gold, 13 kills and 3 towers,

That is why I really love betting for LCK, games are really consistent, but yeah it really lacks competition in my opinion and the thrill of losing is not there,

[ralle14]

That one single bet ended up winning ! finally huh but I just cant seems to stay out of making parlay bet lol. I ended putting another one with lower stake though but it ended up going well

I was planning to take OG as well on their last series but the timing wasn't on my side during that time as Sportsbet's odds went down on both betradar and betsy just before the series started.

That is why I really love betting for LCK, games are really consistent, but yeah it really lacks competition in my opinion and the thrill of losing is not there,

If you want a bit of thrill and spice things up there's always the LPL and LEC but there are still a couple of upsets that happened recently like Nongshim losing to Fredit Brion and DRX losing to KT Rolster. The gap between the upper vs mid to lower teams in the standings is just way too far compared to the other leagues.

I think LGD or OG, and Team Spirit got this.

I'm a bit sad that the group stage has to come to an end. No more Deboosters' game. I had several small wins on Deboosters' games. It was fun and very funny. The Saudi Arabian team was like a bonus in this tournament. They were completely destroyed. I haven't seen all their games but it was a complete disaster for them. I remember when I was in college with my friends and a team competing in various tournaments in our city asked us to play against them for their practice. We were badly outplayed, we even had a hard time assembling our second items after our boots.

[tomahawk9]

this is the way

And live betting.  

we're on the same wavelength

from this to this

Is this DOTA game from Riyadh Master as well? Dang

Yeah, Masters plus some League of Legends GAMES. At least i've got another win (it was V5 -1.5) so it's not the end of the world yet  

anyhow, some LPL first


and later today, i really like +1.5 Nigma Galaxy, i'm not completely sold on LGD's performance so far, Nigma on the other hand looked solid against OG and RNG, but RNG v Team Spirit has a game 3 written all over it so Over 2.5 there could be a good pick

[sunsilk]

Yes, a very short tournament and it's really quick for OG and secret. Later, we'll know what are the 2 teams that will advance against OG and Team Secret.

While another two will be eliminated by those two teams.

We're close to its final and that's just in less than 2 days. This Riyadh Masters really is short but lucrative for all of the teams since the cash prize is too high.

[Trofo]

Those are my bets for today. I am quite sure Nigma Galaxy can take one map and the other game should be over 2.5 easy. I think I will boundle those 2 games with some football friendlies. Couple of good ones late tonight where we should se plenty of goals. But that is material for some other topic.
