Since there is not that match action in Dota 2. You may want to follow the Malta Vibes #3[1] which has some matches that are happening for this day. There's a trending player now from Russia who's named Satanic. Lol, what a name but that guy is still a kid and he's a child prodigy. He's playing in this tournament together with other American players under the banner of 4 Zoomers and with Taiga. They have a match later under 3 hours from now.

I am seeing his name in some Youtube videos and found out he is in 12k MMR and just 15 years old. I also read on Reddit that he gained 4k MMR in just under a year. That is an insane improvement. It will be lucky for the team that will sign him in the future. Hopefully we will see him on a team that can nurture and guide a talent like him.

Truly insane and that's why he's getting the spotlight from content creators. Maybe there's some good future for him and he needs more exposure and experience in the pro scene. It's good that he's got already some experience teammates and from them, he'll get to learn as long as he's willing to learn and taught.

Those who are looking for DOTA action while waiting for TI next month, you can watch and bet on BetBoom Dacha. BetBoom Dacha is an offline Armenian tournament organized by FISSURE and BetBoom Esports. The total prize pool is $250K. Today is the second day of the group stage so there are still plenty of DOTA matches you can bet on.

Here is my bet for today's matches.

Good luck with these bets, so far there's already 1 win from 9Pandas against Nigma Galaxy. We've got a lot of games today.

ESL Pro League Group C matches will start in 2 days.
We will watch the first matches of group C with NaVi-5yclone and Apeks-M80 matches.We can expect NaVi to defeat his opponent comfortably.Because even though his opponent is one of the best teams in China, we have seen a lot of time that these teams cannot show enough performance in such tournaments.I expect the Apeks-M80 match to be more competitive.Of course, although Apeks is more prominent in my eyes, I must say that the M80 team is also likely to win the match.

2 games left for now, I've been to pre occupied with FIBA and international games that I forgot to bet on dota2. Well the good thing is that, I would have bet on Nigma either way and they have lost 2 times so I would have lost alot of money betting on them so its all good for me



I think GG is going to win obviously they are GG and I chose to go with the draw on Secret vs TSM as Im not convinced that either of these teams are going to win hence the draw

Goodluck on this bet. I’m always avoiding bet that involves Beastcoast since Latam team is a darkhorse that always poisoned my bet even against a dominant team like GG. Beastcoast is having a good game on this tournament. I think this is the reason why the odds of betting to GG is still on 1.8 range.

I'd rather bet for a +1.5 when Beastcoast is involved instead of an ML pick. I hope that luck will be on your side with this bet.

It was an easy 2-0 for the GG against Beastcoast and also for Team Secret. So since this is a points system, the record that GG has which is 2 series wins and 1 draw makes them qualify and secures the top bracket. While the following teams have already been out for the BetBoom Dacha. It's ironic that it's own team name is already out this early.

• BetBoom
• Nigma Galaxy

EPL Group C starts today! I will skip Navi as the odd is unattractive and sure they'll win comfortably. The rest of the matches look mostly one-sided too. I'll just bet on fnatic vs Imperial instead.

[execijutiere]

EPL Group C matches start in half an hour. The first 2 matches will be between NaVi-5yclone and Apeks-M80.I expect NaVi to beat their opponent, but we might be in for a surprise. A possible loss of NaVi to this team would not surprise me.NaVi has built a good roster in my opinion and the team should be able to overcome the acclimatization process.In the other match, I expect Apeks to win.I also think that it will not be an easy match for Apeks.We will probably see 3 maps played.When we look at the last matches of the M80 team, we can say that it is a team that likes to win. Of course, there is a big difference between the American and European teams, but I still think that a team in such form will push the Apeks team.

I guess there isnt much to bet on until the next TI but I guess Im putting in some money for tomorrow



TSM seems to have improved so Im betting on them to win against BC although I would say BC is abit better but its a bo3 game so perhaps TSM could pull a 2-1 win somehow. Obviously the other bet would be GG -1.5, self explanatory obviously its GG so there is no way that anyone would doubt that team

[Balmain]

Fnatic played very well until the semi-finals. I was almost surprised that they even managed to eliminate Faze in the semi-finals. The Inferno map was very critical and Faze won there 16-14. They were pretty good on the Ancient map. Their favorite map is Fnatic. There was a completely defeated Fnatic on the Decider map. It was a complete misfortune for them to lose 16-14 in Inferno and go to the decider. As I said, Decider also failed to resist. We will watch the Faze - Navi classic in the grand final match of ESL pro league season 18 on Sunday. I can almost hear you saying Navi wins, What is your prediction guys?

It's surprising to see an announcement from Valve about discontinuing the Dota Pro Circuit for next year.  

I guess it's also for the better after they mentioned the different downsides with the DPC like the downgrade in production and ESL will probably become one of the few organizers to start their own DPC since we already saw their point system had success on the side of CSGO. I'm looking forward to what structure they'll try to introduce next year since I thought the DPC was already good enough.

TSM still plays poorly in my eyes, and they have a lot of catching up to do even with BC. But it's a good bet with good odds, so betting on TSM to win or +1.5 is somewhat valuable and with reason as well. As for GG, well -1.5 is obviously the play against the newly reorganized Secret. Armel is getting kind of comfortable with the team, but it's GG so there's a very little chance that they manage to succeed against the said team.

So basically they are dropping this and it seems we will have alot more offline events huh. Basically DPC reached it peak when everyone was staying at home due to covid and it just make sense now that they are droppin this to encourage alot more organizer to host their very own offline tournament. This actually seems pretty exciting though and when I read your post, I thought they will be dropping TI 2024 as well but phew glad that they didnt

  Well I guess it is what it is

All the favorites win their initial match-up as expected. I missed yesterday's games but happy to see that Navi and FaZe secured the playoffs spot and will face each other in the upper final games later in Sunday.

As for today's matches, betting on the underdog just because we haven't seen any upsets yet

I can say that it was a bit of a fantastic try. 5yclone tried to win the map with a good game on the map they chose, but they lost close. Vertigo had a strong lead in CT in its own election. They defended their A attack especially well. It ended 11-4, there will probably be no response from 5yclone. The next Imperial-Apeks match is more exciting. If I can follow it, I will watch that match. It is a very close match, in fact, both sides can win this match. In my opinion, your prediction, Imperial, seems closer.

Well it seems I was spot on with this, TSM have improved for sure and they won 2-0 against BC. The odds for TSM -1.5 was probably over 3x for sure but no sane person would be betting on that because it seems pretty risky. As for GG 2-0 against Team Secret I guess this one was pretty easy to guess as there isnt that many team that could win against GG

Armel is getting kind of comfortable with the team, but it's GG so there's a very little chance that they manage to succeed against the said team.

Armel? I thought Sumail was standing in for the team


Definitely will be taking TSM to win against Secret for tomorow, its just straight moneyline bet for TSM on this one

[execijutiere]

The matches in group A of the RES Eastern European Masters tournament have been completed.Eternal Fire managed to come out of the group as the leader.They defeated both Spirit and Redpack.Woxic and Xantares' performances were impressive in EF, who managed to win against Spirit, even if it was a bit difficult. Woxic finished the match with a score of 25-4 against Redpack and 26-11 against Spirit.Woxic has not been playing this well for a long time, he seems to be really well prepared.The awper in the team is an event that every team wants such a performance.This makes it easier for the teams to win the match.

I am very surprised by apeks winning the first map against imperial and that too imperial's pick - overpass

Apeks havent impressed me at all so far in esl pro league, but i might be a bit biased due  to losing a bet on them vs navi

On for map 2 however i do think apeks should  take it as imperial certainly didnt do anything at all on their last played match on ancient

[execijutiere]

As expected in the ESL Pro League group c upper bracket final match, we will watch the Faze-NaVi struggle. We can say that this final match is actually an important test match for both teams. I see NaVi one step ahead because they came with better results against their opponents in this tournament. In the Lower Bracket Final match, we will watch the Apeks-Fnatic match. It is sure to be a tough match for both teams, but I expect Fnatic to win.
In the last change stage, we can expect Imperial or the loser of the Lower bracket final to finish 4th.

At the same time, it feels like Valve now wants to rely on the organizers, but I wonder how many of them will stay because i've heard organizers don't make anything from hosting Dota tournaments unless they get a bit of help from Valve or have a solid backing like the ESL.

I also want to take TSM after their clean and quick series win against BC, but i'll go with Team Secret. I still think Puppey and Sumail will take care of TSM for the third time and have a rematch against GG in the finals.

With this match of Team Secret vs GG actually, secret always makes an import to their team many people saying that they will give rest to Armel because of his performance during that time reason why Sumail make a Standin to their team, actually the pick invoker with this match is not really effective I don't see the use of using Dragon lance in this game for invoker. Also Ace makes a really good run and dominated top with his combo of Tide with Meteor hammer surely people will pick this in pub because of its too much tankyness + the combo of leash new skills. I bet with the GG here its already in favor to them and congrats to the GG bettors too.
