[milewilda]

calendar in the OP has been updated! thanks for reminding me, @arallmuus 

looking forward to Arlington major. Heh, I just saw that RNG will have ana as stand-in, talk about strange crossovers in dota. Ame has a score to settle with ana 👀 TI18

Actually, I didn't expect that this kind of announcement is real I just see this lurking around in the different pages because we know Ana is just waiting for the OG again and many people ask why Ana makes a standin in the RNG well we know he take some pub games most of the time I saw Topson having a Rivalry in Mid with Ana at the same time still he knows how to play as a 2x TI Champion I guess for sure most of us here waiting for the comeback of the HumbleGod.

That what makes me impress about Ana is that he could really make stand-in's whatever teams that he would really needs to.Dont know on what he do think about coming back on OG?
We know that we cant take back the former OG roster considering that Jerax is totally retired and Ceb might have some plans to play again with the team.
Maybe there would be some surprising thing on this upcoming TI when it comes to roster changes and lets look into that.

I have these bets ready for later, LNG and KT Rolster facing bottom teams, and should win both of their series as they're still looking to secure their playoffs spot. I also took KT -1.5 in a single bet since they got a crucial win against Damwon last week.

The only tough leg in my multi is Boom taking at least a map against Tundra, in their last meeting they end up losing 0-2 to Tundra but i'd always take Boom's handicap @1.5 since they're good at taking maps in the last major groups.

Today's Picks for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

kt Rolster VS Brion Blade Correct Map Score (2 - 0)

Stake odds for this game are 1.23 for kt Rolster, while 3.95 for Brion Esports, Right now kt Rolster has 8 wins and 6 losses, while Brion Blade has 2 wins and 12 losses right now, and these two have a clash with each other back on June 22 with a score of 0 - 2 and kt Rolster winning, for me I think this could always repeat on have happened back then so I will surely make a bet for kt Rolster and the map exact score for 2 - 0 Map win for kt Rolster,

T1 VS Hanwha Life Esports Correct Map Score (2 - 1)

Stake odds for this game are 1.06 for T1 while 8.20 for Hanwha Life Esports, Right now T1 has 12 Wins and 2 losses, while Hanwha has 1 win and 13 losses, and these two teams have already clashed on July 13 with 1 - 2 Map Score T1 wins, its likely T1 surely make the game more exciting by losing 1 map,  but I don't really know if they are doing it on purpose, or that is just their game strategy, but for this match, because it is not profitable to bet on the winning team, which is T1 for sure I will bet on Correct map score of 2 - 1 the winning team will be T1,

Less than an hour before Arlington Major kicks off. We have some interesting matches today but for my bets, I am going for the safe side.

Fnatic vs OG
OG 1.5 odds
This is easy. Since 3 of their members are stand-ins, I think it is safe to bet that OG will win this match up. OG at 1.5 odds is quite low but since it is quite a safe bet, I'll take it.

PSG.LGD vs Talon Esports
LGD 1.36 odds
PSG.LGD finished strong  in their last tournament winning the championship in Riyadh Masters. I expect them to show the same strength in this tournament as well.

Outsiders vs RNG
RNG Map Handicap +1.5 1.36
I just want to watch this match up since Ana is a stand-in RNG. So I am placing a bet on handicap just to keep it exciting while watching. Just want to see how will Ana do as stand-in in RNG.

Good luck everyone.

I have RNG and OG to win same as you but I am toying with idea to go against PSG.LGD. Talon is not bad team and PSG finishes the tournamnets strong but they can be shaky at the start. At least I hope that will be the case today.

Can't wait for major to start, on holidays now so I have time to watch the games properly.

And the JACKZ deal is almost done for the French team HEET now. We have already shared the rumour before that he would leave and it is happening. Aleksib is also near leaving the team now but we don't know his new likely team yet. In the place of these players, it looks like G2 will really bring jks and HooXi. As I said before I'm still not comfortable with these probable deals. It makes me feel like it is more of a downgrade for a team like G2.

The nearest tournament is BLAST Premier Fall so we will find out how strong they will be.

This is easy. Since 3 of their members are stand-ins, I think it is safe to bet that OG will win this match up. OG at 1.5 odds is quite low but since it is quite a safe bet, I'll take it.

The odds for this game is crazy for Fnatic, it is because we don't know if 2 Fnatic players + 3 TSM players are going to synchronized very well but they just did on game 1.

The first game has won Fnatic and they've done it looking good and easy against OG.

Later, Fnatic will be against Outsiders but for the meantime, I'm waiting for the game 2 of Fnatic vs. OG.

[arallmuus]

Cashed this out at 2.5x odds. For some reason I think Boom is going to lose the 2nd map as well, therefore I decided to cash it out but well even if they do then I guess this is my lost though. Liquid should easily win the next one against OG, planning to take -1.5 for Liquid but Rollbit isnt offering this for now so going to search another bookies for this

Edit : dang it, Boom ended up winning

we've reached a point in the season where a lot of teams already qualified to playoffs and some others have been eliminated so we're gonna start seeing some strange results (like RA winning). Time to be more careful with our picks in lck and lpl

And the JACKZ deal is almost done for the French team HEET now.

no way HEET was the only org interested in jackz... maybe he picked this team cos he doesn't want to deal with tier 1 pressure anymore? all-french team so he'll adapt pretty quickly, hope to see him taking this team

more csgo news: sunpayus will go to ENCE    https://www.hltv.org/news/34336/ence-set-to-bench-hades-sunpayus-transfer-imminent-report
sunpayus was godlike in IEM cologne so a transfer to a top tier team was inevitable. i hope hades

Edit : dang it, Boom ended up winning

cashout option exists to help the bookie, not the player 😔

i'm currently 1-1 in my tickets, OG with a dreadful game vs fnatic, the latter have been playing together for like a couple of days or something wtf OG?? and easy 2 odds Spirit win vs beastcoast, that should've been my main ticket ):  now watching Talon v TA waiting for a draw, oh and Aster just won 2-0 vs EG 😂

[edgycorner]

Anyone with their bets on VCT NA qualifiers?
Sentinel is shitting the bad. Glad that I am too broke to have any bet on them  

Still, it's a delight to watch Shroud in a competitive match again after like  3 years?

[arallmuus]

Sucks, the ticket that I decided to cash out ended up winning all the way lol. I mean this happened alot of times though, whenever I decided to go all the way then most of the time that ticket ended up losing but not this time  . Oh well atleast Im glad that I made the right bet this time, hoping to score a good amount from this Major

oh and Aster just won 2-0 vs EG 😂

Its also currently 1-0 for Boom against EG

I agree and good thing I only lost a unit on the multi, LNG's top laner fed way too much and barely had any impact during the last map.

At least I got one back thanks to Boom's second map win against Tundra, it nearly looked like another 2-0 but good thing Boom's carry was so far ahead in networth and their Ember was just dealing so much damage throughout the game.

Rough first day on the side of EG, currently down 0-3 and probably going 0-4 as they're down 7k gold in the second map vs Boom. Abed with a rough performance and Yopaj dominating the mid matchup.

[Trofo]

Very happy with first day of major. I managed to hit most of my choices but since I am playing multi tickets, greedy bastard. I was in a loss until last ticket. Maybe I should consider singles after all

Third time lucky did it for me yesterday, but it could have been so much more

i fell for the BOOM hype 


odds got slashed overnight and they're currently 1.78, some fiat books have it at 1.68

OG and EG were so garbage yesterday it's unreal, good thing you didn't add them to the acca 😌

talking about OG, i'm really tempted to grab PSG.LGD @1.9, how often do you this team's ML at those odds? and against current OG it could be free money but i'm not 100% sure 🤔

Actually I didn't expect that the EG makes a throw game or they are just doing this because they don't want to go in the upper bracket base on their drsfting it is good but when it comes to the gameplay they choke with their match between the Boom they got easily caught up and also the positioning of the ward there's no aggressive the reason why boom takes a 2-0 against EG.

Wow. That's indeed a streak going on there and don't stop Trofo as the games are getting "easier" with every game going by. What I don't like about this major is that some players couldn't take the VISA and so many fill-in players have jumped in so many teams that if we look at FNATIC is kinda TSM and 2 players from FNATIC playing lol and a few others team. I had a bet of 10$ last night on EG and they managed to lose 4 maps in 2 games.

[arallmuus]

Stick with two games instead of multiple games I think. Picking like two highly potential games and getting the best bet out of it, personally I think teams from the SA regions are pretty bad compared to the others though so probably I'll stick with it for a while. Betting against EG seems to be an option as well considering how bad they are

Way to start the Major for me, hitting 9x odds

[inthelongrun]

I there anybody here that had a good win streak so far in Arlington Majors? Maybe I can mirror-bet. I was winless on the first day. I thought Fnatic had a good run and will beat OG in the second map. And what is wrong with EG. It is their home court and they need to step up. They will drop outside of the top 12 DPC ranking if they cannot perform decently. I'm surprised with Team Aster's performance, they're still undefeated so far.

By the way, are the teams with substitutions allowed to earn DPC points in this tournament?

[Trofo]

What a first map between Talon and Outsiders. I have a bet on Talon +1.5 so I started the day with this one and it did not disappoint. We got to minute 70 with crazy lead swings and incredible team fights. In the end it wasn't meant to be for my choice. Now I am afraid they are spent and they could loose the second map easy. This left some scaring for sure.

[CLS63]

sunpayus was godlike in IEM cologne so a transfer to a top tier team was inevitable. i hope hades

SunPayus can really be one of the best players of his country of all-time in CS:GO. Movistar Riders are very lucky to have an AWPer like him now and it might be a little difficult for them to keep him at the team after shining this bright in the recent tournaments. His reflexes make me very surprised and he is certainly the best player of his team now. A top tier team should be offering a deal for him soon but it is not easy to guess what team it would be now. I would have liked to see him playing for G2 to be honest but they already have a wonderful talent like m0nesy.
