Watching Aster doing it again is nostalgic, Monet and Ori are killing the team again with their choke game performance on crucial matches on upper bracket. They seems don’t get proper sleep before they fight team Spirit. Monkey that didn’t build farm items while he is against TA is the craziest item choice I watch on this Majors so far. They are too confident on there picks while they didn’t anticipate the damage output of the draft of Team Spirit.

Team Spirit is confirmed to be on TI form again. I think they can beat LGD on finals either on UB or the grand finals.

This is why I don't give 100% to Aster. They can choke on Tier 2/3 teams and they can even choke on Tier 1 teams even though they have shown the world that they can battle it out against them until the end. Aster is a very good team and we all know that. It's just that they're held back by their inconsistency and their mid game decision-making that affects them badly.

Team Spirit, on the other hand, well, they have consistency issues too. But if they wanted to perform they can, but they can't seem to keep the momentum up on some games that matter highly on their spot on the tournament. Good thing that they got their shit together and defeated Team Aster in a very convincing fashion.

They will be battling it out with PSG.LGD in the upper bracket finals. We will see if they really are in TI form if they perform well against LGD. Last time they meet in Riyadh, LGD 2-0 them in the finals. Hopefully it is not a repeat performance.

They have always been like this but lately they are showing good effort. They are still not out of the tournament yet though, so they still have the chance to redeem themselves. They can have another round with Team Spirit if they make it out of their match with OG, either in Lower bracket Finals or Grand Finals.

I am still not losing faith with them that they can reach the finals.

Beastcoast are doing it for "RTZ" as the memes are all over the dota 2 section on social medias and you can't blame the fans or the trolls as EG really deserves all this memes that are heading towards them. RTZ ? Maybe should re-check himself and maybe try something different ? change his style ? Maybe this will help him but also the team.

Today should be the day where Boom is leaving the tournament as Entity really plays way more better and Beastcoast vs VP should be the game of the day in my opinion.

As I was saying, EG needs to change a lot in their team if they want to be considered as a top tier team again. At this point in time, Bulba is doing more harm than good in the coaching side of things. You have Cr1t who's talent is invaluable but is teamed with a carry that still has his old ways and a coach that only wants his extremely versatile midlaner to play one hero. Bulba should retire in the professional scene for good, and not touch even the coaching side of things and just be a manager of EG or something.

Mouz confirmed that nbk has left the team. I wonder how nbk will perform in the falcons team. He hasn't had a chance to play with teams for a few weeks. Now he will play with a team again.
Movistar riders filled the awper vacated by sunpayus with young player martinezsa.He was not performing badly even though he was not in a good team. I wonder what he will be able to do now with a higher performing team.

Today should be the day where Boom is leaving the tournament as Entity really plays way more better and Beastcoast vs VP should be the game of the day in my opinion.

I am on over in both of those games, served me really well during this whole tournament and I plan to milk it to the end. Just watched first 2 maps of Boom match and it went perfectly. Just how I like it with clear win in second map for the team I need to win for over to pass.

This whole tournament served me really well, here is a ticket from yesterday. I am never depositing USDT to the site, this is made just from clubhouse rewards, I think there were 2x5USD and 1x10USD so I had about 20$ to start with. So they come really handy sometimes.



I already have a winning ticket for today as well, but waiting for all the games to finish to make it official, don't want to jinx it too much

[Dota 2] Watching now the last game for the match of Entity and Boom Esports. I don't know if this is the final of Boom Esports for this major as the score isn't favorable for them.

12-3 kills in favor of Entity.

Next game is beascoast and Outsiders, two teams that are alread qualified for The Intertional 11.

T1 for Dota 2 just posted that they're now parting ways with Gabbi and Karl. I think that Karl should have retained and it should only be Gabbi that they have to release.

No offense on that but they're getting ready for the TI qualifiers and it will be hard if Fnatic won't get a direct invite because they'll be another burden to the SEA TI qualifiers.

Who are you guys thinking? The players that are free at this time that I can think of iceiceice and topson. But I doubt that topson will join them. Some rumors said that topson could replace Abed on EG and then Abed goes back to Asia and will play for T1. Well, it's just a rumor and I don't think that it will be allowed by his contract.

Who do you think guys will replace these two?

Topson wants to play only for EU teams if I'm not mistaken. As for T1 replacements, not a lot are a good fit for T1's playstyle, and a lot of the SEA pubstars already have teams to represent (Talon, Polaris.. etc.) They'd most probably pick a rising pubstar that we don't really notice, or probably snipe from TNC, SMG, or other established SEA teams that haven't been showing off to the tournaments lately. As for Karl and Gabbi, hopefully they land an organization that can take advantage of their talents and be paired with good talents too.

It would be an extremely hard open qualifiers at SEA for TI again. Wishing these guys the best of luck.

I see, that makes it clear that topson will stay on his region and the qualifiers will be out soon. I think that he'll rejoin some of his teammates, maybe ana again and him.

Damn too hard for the TI qualifiers on the SEA. AFAIK, only 1 slot will be from there through the qualifiers, right?

SMG just took iceiceice and poloson while removing raging potato and pieliedie. I guess pld would be going back to his region, EU.

[Dota 2] Watching now the last game for the match of Entity and Boom Esports. I don't know if this is the final of Boom Esports for this major as the score isn't favorable for them.

12-3 kills in favor of Entity.

Next game is beascoast and Outsiders, two teams that are alread qualified for The Intertional 11.

BoomEsports was outdrafted on that game 3. They thought that Sven was the core but its not but rather that Necro by Saberlight  which had fucked them hard on late game.

Currently watching for Beast and Outsiders game 1. I would be putting my bet on Outsiders on this game but wont really be that simple unless if Ramzess would able to make some good farm.

What makes me excite is on the game where LGD against TS.

There's a weird one-day CS:GO tourney tomorrow (https://www.hltv.org/events/6723/steelseries-nova-invitational-2022) with Faze and OG as one of the attendees. Never seen a tourney like this before.
Anyways, I am lowkey excited about it. Been a long time since we had any real CS:GO match(tired of watching academy newbs).

First match is a bo1 of faze vs tricked. Ez faze ig but odds are shit. Any sensible better will skip since it's a bo1 too. Whereas second match(OG vs sinners) will be more interesting imo, and sinners +7.5 handicap won't actually be a bad bet. NFA DYOR BOL!

[arallmuus]

Damn too hard for the TI qualifiers on the SEA. AFAIK, only 1 slot will be from there through the qualifiers, right?

Its going to be one for each regions so thats additional 6 teams from each regions. Aside from that, 2nd and 3rd from each regional qualifiers will have another chance for the last chance qualifiers. Thats 12 teams from 6 different regions to get the last 2 spots for TI. Lots of chances to get to TI though if the team is actually decent

Anyway Beastcoast is totally having a good run though

The same thing goes for the other regions and the last chance qualifier which arallmuus already mentioned. I still think SEA has the lowest chance of taking one of the two spots in the last chance qualifier when you look at the possible second and third place teams coming from the other regions.

What makes me excite is on the game where LGD against TS.  

I agree even though these two teams met several times already and LGD will probably come out on top it'll still be a spicy series and hopefully, Team Spirit doesn't go Viper like last time.

OG vs Sinners +7.5 sounds pretty good actually. That's a very short tournament and smaller teams have a good chance to shock and take away some decent prizepool away from big teams like OG and Faze.

It will be though for Beastcost against OG today but I am still backing them to take at least one map @1.7. Seems lika a value bet since one map can always go to underdog. Maybe they will outdraft them or OG will not be able to respond to aggression...

Should be interesting series for sure.

PSG.LGD looks like champions already and Team Spirit will have to be flawless to get anything in this matchup.

I expect OG to lose the first map. They always experiment with the first map if they feel they can easily beat their opponents. Betting for 2.5 maps is safe in my opinion.

Team Spirit is getting in there. I guess they will try to give PSG the toughest fight at this tournament. This is the last chance to get a crack at PSG before TI and I hope we can see the TI10 champions level in their match later.

Beastcoast is in a rough spot that's for sure. They're up against a team that is relatively miles ahead of them, though they are still quite a team that can perform against the greats and still has a huge chance to come out on top. Rooting for OG to win the series but over 2.5 maps isn't really a bad bet at all.

As for PSG.LGD, well they have always been that OP team from each tournament that dominates other teams, until they get outplayed and outskilled by a random team on the most prestigious tournament.

As I read this message, the match was being played live. An interesting tournament, Faze and OG are playing in the final, I came across the first map and Cache is being played. I didn't know if the cache was still in the map pool or if it was chosen specifically for this tournament. As you said, we were tired of watching academy teams, this tournament was good for today.
