I was late to bet on the first map, but I still believe Team Spirit will always have an easy first blood.

You're not late, you still able to bet for the first map but that if bet for the first blood is on the 1st map, you'd lose already. That is because the first blood kill goes to Parivision. It was an easy kill to miposhka's silencer.

TBH, I haven't bet on a Dota 2 match for a long time, but seeing the overall performance of Team Spirit makes me sure that on the second map, first blood will belong to TS.

You can still bet for the 2nd map after this first map or check out our bookie at stake, because if it's this early, they're still allowing to bet for the match winner and other categories.

The hype is real during the entrance if you have watched that which I think for sure you've seen. I've lost my bet against Parivision and still this time, I am with you and betting for Team Spirit. They know how to counter this kid because he came from their team too and had to sit in for a while as well, I trust miposhka and still betting against Parivision. I think that odds have changed quickly and my take is @1.45 and that's still fine.

We got baited by Team Spirit and Parivision managed to complete their lower bracket run with that 3-1 win. That salty runback from Team Spirit in map two hurt our chances and I knew it wasn't going to work once Parivision went for a snowball draft with TA.

Even though they bounced back in game three, the damage was already done and Parivision closed the series in map four with another TA draft.

I have to say the previous series was more entertaining, especially the games with BetBoom and Tundra where it got to the super late game.

Yeah we were. I think that I am also unlucky and I thought that Team Spirit got this. Well, I guess that after being so against to Parivision, they'll be in my radar for the next tournaments to come. I also thought that due to exhaustion against Tundra, Parivision won't be able to play but I guess they're so good and they've got a good coach too, astini which is like a ceb type coach to me. That TA pick, it's always been so good whenever that kid plays it, they should have respected and banned it.

The Falcons have announced that Degster will be on the bench.This will allow MonesY to transfer to the Falcons.I don't think Degster is the problem, as we saw in the last tournament they won, but this change will still reflect positively on the team because Monesy is a player with more potential.It is also possible that his performance may increase as he will be reunited with his former teammate NiKo.In addition, TeSeS is also expected to be on the bench, but Kyosuke is being talked about instead.

I recall this was mentioned before the tournament started, and it's probably why he suddenly popped off. Then again, the tournament wasn't as stacked unlike ESL and Blast, which are always filled with several tier-one teams.

The other move is so unusual though, I thought TeSeS was doing fine with them, and putting in Kyousuke right away could backfire for them since he doesn't have much LAN experience.

It seems that seleri, a former position 5 of Gaimin Gladiators isn't going to be back in the team. He's moved to another team which is the MOUZ esports. I don't know about this deal but we've seen that GG isn't the former GG that we used to know although they're still a strong team but not as a strong as before. But looking at the current roster of MOUZ, they don't have that much on its profile, only two players are currently recorded, him and force. We'll have to wait for the others to come by in the addition.

We're on a break with the Dota 2 scene in a few days but we'd see them back again through PGL Wallachia Season 4. For the meanwhile, I've looked and bet for some CS2 games, one game only to be specific and that's with the Blast.TV Austin Major. The match of Astralis against MZP. I have bet for the Astralis and I think that the odds that it has got is favorable, hopefully this will recover from my loss in other matches.

Monesy transfer would really be the right move for the Falcons, although Degster is a good player in his role, Monesy is young and has great potential.
He and Niko are old teammates and get along very well. Kyosuke doesn't have much experience, they will try and if he can't adapt in a short time, he will quickly be benched.

I'm unlucky for most bets that this day and yesterday that I've been with. PGL Wallachia S4 is at hand, do you already have teams to bet for? good thing that this group stage is going to be a best of 3 series and not 2. We can have bets that are going to be match winners then. And for the list of upcoming games 2 days from now, here it is;



Pari versus Avulus? we go Pari?

Kyosuke is just a rumor, I guess I don't know much about it either.I've been on the HLTV forum a bit and I've seen this kind of discussion.TeSeS can be a good player but sometimes some players don't perform well enough in some teams.

Monesy transfer would really be the right move for the Falcons, although Degster is a good player in his role, Monesy is young and has great potential.
He and Niko are old teammates and get along very well. Kyosuke doesn't have much experience, they will try and if he can't adapt in a short time, he will quickly be benched.

Of course kyosuke lacks experience but sometimes young players can do well in such teams.They will get along well with MonesY but there will be doubts whether the rest of their teammates will be able to get along with them.Especially the performance of Kyxsan and Magisk will be decisive here.

Pari versus Avulus? we go Pari?

It's probably better to skip once you get a look at their odds. The match winner is at 1.06 and the map handicap is 1.38, which might be worth adding into a parlay if you're confident they'll sweep Avulus.

Then again, most of the odds for round 1 are one-sided, and the closest we've got is Tidebound (2.80) vs. BetBoom(1.38).

I'll take heed of your advise of better to skip them. Odd for Pari isn't a lot and I don't think that I'll be betting with Avulus despite that I like the @7.50 odds that they have. We still have several hours to think of which games that we'll bet for. Another games that's the same as Pari and Avulus for their odds are these matches

Tundra(1.08) and Heroic(7.00)
Team Spirit(1.06) and Shopify Rebellion(7.50)
Xtreme Gaming(1.06) and Edge(7.50)

I'm thinking of getting a lottery pick in any of them but I'm also quite scared because I'm in a losing streak this week.

[passwordnow]

PGL Wallachia Season 4 has officially started with 2 games now, I've skipped the two and to be honest, the odds that are being possessed for most games aren't encouraging. I have picked only one game for a match winner and then picked another one for an over 34 minutes game. So, hopefully these two will be as good as they are who's watching now? these are the boring games they say every first day but let's see, there are a lot of games to be played until the end of the day. My pick as match winner, BetBoom. I'm gonna be conservative as of now.

[execijutiere]

FlyQuest has parted ways with dexter. I think INS will take over as IGL and there was also a nettik transfer to strengthen firepower. Perhaps this change in the Australian team will be a plus for them. They are not a bad team, they have good players, but they are out of the tournament early compared to other teams. This makes me think that they are tactically weak in this arena. With this change I think they will be able to perform better.

I'll join you on that BetBoom pick, even though the odds are too low; we'd better play it safe here on the first day.

Initially, I liked Team Tidebound's map handicap, but I didn't want to underestimate BetBoom after their good run in ESL One, and they'd already 2-0'd Tidebound before.

Thats a pretty interesting bet. I cant really recall the last time I actually saw someone bet on game minutes and the odds wasnt that decent to begin with so you might as well want to consider hedging it with handicap -1.5 on Team Liquid. Dang, even the bookies really estimated Nigma to last not longer than 34 minutes against Team Liquid, pretty lame

Personally I think Nigma sucks so I guess I would be betting abit on -1.5 on Liquid.

Tidebound is also a good team and I am actually teased with the odds that they have. But just as you've said, I want to chill on the first day and let's just test the waters and let's see what happens next. Good luck to our BetBoom bet.

This is a bet to add some flavors for the first map since most of the odds aren't really interesting to bet for if it's with the match winner. Although there are some other categories that might be good to bet but this is what I have chosen. And as for Nigma, they've performed poorly on the last tournament and I guess the bookies have decided to underestimate them with so much odds.

The series went Tidebound's way after they managed to stop gpk's Huskar from snowballing. Their support was clutch at baiting PA or Huskar, and BetBoom's core fell for the bait, thinking they could burst someone in one go.

So far, so good with your Team Liquid handicap as they're now up 1-0 after map 1.

Nigma Galaxy had the tempo in the early game, but Team Liquid's core was too tanky for them to deal with once it got to the mid to late game.

IEM Melbourne 2025 will start in Melbourne, Australia on April 21-27, 2025.
This tournament is an S-tier tournament with high prize money. Unfortunately, I will not be able to follow the tournament live since the matches are in Australia.
The tournament starts on Monday. It will start with Group A matches, and it seems harder to predict the matches in Group A than in Group B. The Complexity and MongolZ match from the first matches looks very attractive.

[execijutiere]

The IEM Melbourne tournament will start in about 14 hours.The first 2 matches in the tournament will be FaZe-Pain and Mongolz-Complexity.I think FaZe will easily beat Pain because biguzera will not play in this match.Their coach will play instead, so I don't think they will be able to win. As for Mongolz, I expect them to win against Complexity, even though it will be hard for them to do so.Their win rate has dropped in their last games and they have had time to recover a bit, so I think they will win against Complexity, even though it will be hard for them to do so.
