The game of Team Liquid and Team Falcons, I didn't bet on it but the ending was absolutely amazing. It can be said as a game of the tournament.

I agree the Team Liquid series got too competitive on the final map and the vibes felt like a playoff match at TI where both teams played their hearts out.

Now I can't wait for the upper bracket match hoping we get another fun series between these two competitive teams.

Team Liquid looks like the form that they have on the TI as well. Speaking of them, Team Liquid is going to face Team Spirit in the lower bracket after winning against AVULUS. And with the top bracket series playing next, I've bet still for BetBoom and with Team Liquid for the 2 series later.



To be honest, these bets are unsure and this is the stage where everything is uncertain and each team has the chance to reach the finals and become the champ.

I like both bets a lot, even though Team Spirit has been clean with their wins, Team Liquid has just more experience and slightly better individual players.

The same goes for the upper bracket match, and to me, BetBoom is like the better version of Parivision. I don't see the script changing unless they create unnecessary mistakes and pull off a weird draft.

Well BetBoom won though as expected from them so thats a pretty easy winnings you got there. Meanwhile Team Liquid won against Avulus as well so I won my parlay thanks to these both teams. If I had to pick a favourite to win the tournament then BetBoom is definitely a cut above the other teams, pretty sure they would win against whatever teams that make it to the grandfinale

As for Team Spirit - Team Liquid, not sure which team will win but pretty sure this is gonna be another over 2.5 maps


edit : HOLY F*CK THEY LOST

DANG IT, I had to take a shower then I closed the stream after the lead was over 20k gold and I thought there was no way that they lost at that point. Dang it lost all my parlay because of it

I literally typed this post without checking the fact that BetBoom lost the 2nd map

Major Shanghai quarterfinal matches are over. The matches ended as expected.
Perhaps it was expected more that Vitality would advance. Vitality started the match 6-0 in Nuke, for example, they seemed to be in control. They even won the Nuke map easily 13-6.
Faze did not give up the match and managed to win the other maps. A great comeback in the quarterfinals after losing the Nuke map. I also did not think that MongolZ would solve it so easily from MOUZ.

The first three series were expected, but Vitality losing against Faze was the biggest shocker because they've been underperforming for the most part and broke the trend after yesterday's upset.

There were no surprise results, the results were consistent. Faze broke the shell and are progressing perfectly again and winning the matches they are not the favorites.
Faze also managed to beat G2 2-0. Faze's ability to play Ancient well gives them great comfort.
Faze's first choice was and they chose Ancient and won that map easily. Faze won the second map even though it went to overtime.

We have reached the final round in Shanghai Major. It is going to be between Spirit and FaZe in BO3 format. Who is your favourite? 

According to bookies Spirit are favoured for the championship. Let's take a look at the odds:

• Spirit => 1.68
• FaZe => 2.15

Except Inferno and Nuke, statistically Spirit are more successful with win rates on the available maps. As for h2h games, we see them being a few steps ahead of FaZe also - 10 W, 2 OT, 4L.

Spirit have a BLAST World Final 2nd place achieved lately. They are really strong. I also believe they will be the winner here.

As I've said, it's hard but this is a 1-1 for me.

Parivision was able to beat BetBoom, that's nice of them although my bet lost since I am for BetBoom but I am happy that this no one's stack is doing it. Whilst for Team Liquid, we're never wrong with that. They've got more in the roster that has more experience than of Team Liquid and as they have moved on against BetBoom, this is I don't know who I will bet for, maybe Team Liquid then.

I think that was where the momentum was made for Parivision. As I've said, this is the stage where everything is uncertain, great teams and new stack teams could be able to make it.

We're on the semi finals now, BetBoom and Team Liquid. Let's go Liquid I guess?

I'm attracted to the odds for Team Liquid, I hope that BetBoom won't lose my bet since I have bet for them as well.

BetBoom fumbled that series and even got outdrafted in the third map being forced to pick an unusual Juggernaut carry after Parivision focused on banning nearly all of Pure's heroes.

I never doubted Team Liquid on their series yesterday, it felt like the writing was already there after they took out Team Falcons the other day.

For the lower bracket final I have to back BetBoom over Team Liquid, their loss against Parivision makes me think they'll waste no time on setting up a rematch in the grand finals.

Well done Team Liquid.




We're already in the grand finals and I have started to bet on the map 2 but I'm still Team Liquid even if it's only 1.26 odd. They already got a 1-0. I hope they don't choke.

That's still a nice try and BetBoom ended 3rd place. If you have a bet on the grand finals, good luck to us and to our friends here that are just silently watching this thread.

Faze has once again done wonders on the Nuke map, they play really well in this map with good control, they know what to do both in defense and offense.
Taking down FaZe in the final with a spectacular performance from Donk. The future of FaZe roster looks unclear.
Although Karrigan has made it clear that he will not retire, we may see innovations in the Faze team in the future.

If only my BetBoom bet won i'd probably make another ticket, but I just sat this one out and I was surprised to see Team Liquid being the slight favorite.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hold on to that early lead and bit more than they could chew. The first ten minutes felt like Team Liquid was going to run over Parivision and go up 2-0 if it weren't for them overextending.

That's fine, if you ever won with BB, are you going to bet with Team Liquid or Parivision? anyway, Parivision got this. Congratulations to them, they really are strong.

When the map 2 started, I thought that Team Liquid was already on the lead, taking first towers from top to bottom and that strategy probably have been working. But then, that's the disaster started. 9class was so good with that nyx, why didn't they respect ban that? They should have banned that on 3rd map. From 1-0 to 3-1 done by Parivision, my bet lost but that's fine.

If my bet went through i'd probably take Parivision their odds were too high to be the underdogs at around 2.30 and I think Team Liquid only became the favorites because of the momentum.

Parivision deserved that win and it was nice to see Noone winning another trophy, it reminds me of his time with the prime VP squad back then.

I agree, Team Liquid got the momentum when they were against BB and that probably has set the odds for them against Parivision. Well, I wasn't the typical me that bets on the odds at that match and believed on Team Liquid but that's fine, Parivision deserves to win.

And as we wait for some actions again, I'm taking a bet with the EPL Season 22. This is a tier 3 tournament and I've bet for Team Greece against Team Turkey because I am more familiar with how they play and the odds looks fine for me.



This isn't some country to country tournament though but they've chosen to name their names as representative of their respective countries.

At first glance, I thought it was one of those national tournaments and it was just a coincidence that both teams used their country names.  

Despite Team Greece being 0-2, they should get their first win here as Team Turkey seems to be a level below based on their results from the IESF WEC.

The games should get better tomorrow as we have some closed qualifier matches for the FISSURE tournament.

Yeah, I thought of that too as well but looking at the participating teams, that's just the name they've chosen. I'm very familiar with the Team Greece, they're like one of the best several years ago and quite good still in date.

Yup, that's what I've seen when they're against something that I have never seen before. So, that could be an advantage for Team Greece since they're all experienced but still, we don't know. In dota 2, twists do happen.

I've lost this bet.  




Moving on, with the Fissure closed qualifiers in SEA, I've bet for Kukuys against Boom Esports.



A nice odds with a good roster and hopefully, I'd hit it this time.

It seems you lost this bet

Anyway, if you are fond of betting on underdogs then you might want to splash some on Team Secret +1.5 against Avulus. I totally hate teams that still have these older generations player on their roster because for me it seems like these old folks dont even know when to stop because they are totally ruining the teams so I might not bet on them

Avulus on the other hand is a huge favourite to win, Avulus -1.5 is on 1.68 which is pretty low for my taste to even bet on so Imma skip this

Yeah, I've lost that bet. I am currenty looking at the SEA bets because this is where the unexpected results comes from. I used to bet with Avulus too but I've decided to bet on a few for now. And if you did bet for Avulus, they've won against Team Secret.

And despite that lost with Kukuys, I am still betting on them against Execration. So two bets I have, one for the upper bracket with Talon and Boom but I'm going with Talon and the other lower bracket with Kukuys and Execration.

The odds only went up slightly for Kukuys, but I still think they should take care of Execration who didn't look good in their series against Mongolz and even threw one of their games when they had the tempo.

Nice heads up on the Team Secret spread, I too would just avoid whenever i'm not confident or at least wait for the drafts to come out incase one of them tries an experimental lineup.

Yes, we're on this both mate. I hope that Kukuys wins the game against Exe later on. You've got a slightly better odd but we're both for Kukuys as the match winner. So, good luck to us.
