What is a one-man team? Well, go here, read the headline, and then see this:


 

Next up: FaZe - NiP...i have a feeling this is going to be an intense match. Bymas needs to show up today after that clown performance versus BiG.

@Trofo  i'm also [kinda ]on a losing streak, need me some wins today. Best of luck, everyone.

It sucks that I couldn't lock in my dota picks, stake wasn't offering any dota lines for the blast bounty hunt and was lucky to miss the first series as well due to the lack of live lines.

They sometimes miss some markets for Dota/CSGO or sometimes they miss all the fixtures of the day...weird.

FaZe vs NiP traded wins in picked maps, at least I can watch the third map with no stress and pressure.

It's been a great day for me 3 of 3 so far, looking forward to see Alliance ML be the icing on the cake.

It's terrible to see you'all on the other side of the sword, tbh but it is what it is... Since there's more of a consensus on Alliance ML, I hope we don't get no dramas 😎

EDIT: Alliance were obliterated by Team Liquid

My Dota picks have been so shit lately, underdogs are tearing my betslips apart...

But things my change for me today. I have a parlay in Dota and I'm counting on Nigma not to not f*ck things up:

Dota
Fnatic -2.5 & Nigma ML - acca @2.67 ✔
CSGO
MIBR ML @1.56 ✖
Na'Vi - FaZe O2.5 @1.91 ✖
Spirit ML @2.08 ✔

Does anyone expect an ez 2-0 between Nature and Faze?

Does anyone expect an ez 2-0 between Nature and Faze?

I don't expect to be an easy out for either team, and i'm not sure why i didn't choose to go with O2.5, instead i have FaZe +1.5 and Nigma ML @ around @2.11

NaVi played really well yesterday at Mirage, now we have Mirage to be FaZe's pick, if they replicate what they did against MAD, it could actually finish 2-0....hopefully not

I have over 2.5 as well. It looks like your choice is a better one as it stands now. Faze took Mirage and now they are giving hell to NaVi on Dust 2. I will follow the herd today and pick Nigma ML as well. Will probably skip Secret and OG. There is some nice football games tonight so after long time I will have more football than Esports on my ticket.

[tomahawk9]

2-0 for FaZe...Bymas needed a game like this to boost that confidence in the team

BiG vs FaZe in the lower bracket...Any early predictions? is it going to be yet another 0-2 shitshow for FaZe? IMO with this Bymas, I doubt it...

and i'm not sure why i didn't choose to go with O2.5

dodge a bullet there 

I have over 2.5 as well.

things didn't go our way. S0mple was pretty underwhelming today 

But now we wait for Nigma. Good 'ol Nigma, please, win!!

^  If it's not any trouble, can you add Broodwar in your list?  Afreeca SC Team League has just been announced.  It could be a fun tourney to put some bets at:  https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/560327-afreeca-starcraft-team-league-announced

Nitrogen has always had odds on this game.

you mean to the calendar? Afreeca SC Team League has been added! Check it out   Plus I also added a Starcraft II calendar.

Fnatic -2.5 & Nigma ML - acca @2.67

Nigma ML

I will follow the herd today and pick Nigma ML as well.

So EZ

Thank goodness Liquid didn't pull another upset, they bring down of my tickets yesterday with their win over Alliance. It would've been super annoying if they did it again. I'm glad Nigma completed the comeback being down 1 map.

dodge a bullet there  

You can say that i guess, though NaVi weren't far away from turning things around and win on Dust II.
broky and Bymas had an amazing 24th round to stop NaVi's momentum.

BiG vs FaZe in the lower bracket...Any early predictions?

Leaning towards BiG +1.5 or O2.5, but i will make my pick after i see the map selections.

I did the unthinkable and went with BiG to win this one and they did. But it was looking bleak near the end with being up 12-10 and they were slippin'.

As you can see it was live and did the 1.01x bet just so can get a win on the board then praying for the rest to fall in line.
Lost a 3 game parlay with forZe @35.54x all together including Juventus 0:2 but they didnt score even with Milan AC having a red card from the first half so it failed right away.

[tomahawk9]

LEC and LCS have entered entered the chat:

League
Flyquest - Cloud9 O20.5 kills @1.67 ✔
parlay G2 -6.5 + Nigma ML @2.57 ✖
CSGO
FaZe ML @1.70 ✖
Cloud9 +1.5 @1.53 ✖

Leaning towards BiG +1.5 or O2.5, but i will make my pick after i see the map selections.

I was thinking O2.5 too, have a feeling it's gonna be a close game with OT's included, but i ended up going with FaZe to win. They gave me a nice win the other day, so why not back them again? although, now i feel like i'm tempting fate

LOL    nice win!

I want to bet on both Dota and CS but man they're starting at the same time so i'll probably stick to CS as I like to see Faze reach the finals and the odds of both games are similar as well.

I'm also going with the Cloud9 handicap later against Liquid then maybe take TSM to win on their first game (vs Liquid too). Yesterday I got lucky with the live odds and placed a bet on Cloud9 (LCS) for 1.45 odds during the picking phase. It only swung because they lost one early team fight but came back hard mid game 

[tomahawk9]

Somone needs to stop BIG, and G2 is our last hope. G2 ML @1.3 (thx to the 1 map advantage) is out of the question so I might just go all-in on G2 -1.5.

Well, good luck!

[Trofo]

Finally one nice day for me. Managed to get nice odds on OG and coupled it with some football. Now I reinvested small part of it on OG takes a map @1.8 and OG ML @8.0. Secret is better team and they are 1:0 up but 8.0 still seems a lot to me so OG all the way

Not feeling so good now when I see draft for map 2. Hate when the team I hoping will lose gets Luna. I think that hero has 100% in this tournament.

Edit: Secret is up 2:0 but at least OG draft for map 3 looks decent. I have hopes for this one but Secret will probably crush them in few minutes
Edit 2: Secret crushed OG totally, they are just so much better then all other teams at the moment. OG wasn't even close on any map today.

[morvillz7z]

I was busy today and couldn't watch the game (nor place a bet) but i'm somehow not surprised BiG advancing to the grand final.
The 1 map advantage is definitely a big plus for G2 but the odds for 3:2 or 2:3 are more than tempting imo.
I think i will play both 4.80 and 11.00, any objections?  

[tomahawk9]

Yeah, Team Secret are just too good right now. Btw, Secret made fun of OG on twitter after the game  lol https://twitter.com/teamsecret/status/1271885738326609920 for context, read the comments...so disrespectful

Go for it! it's been a while since you posted a big win here  

Lucky Sunday picks:
CSGO
G2 -1.5 @1.65 ✖
FURIA -1.5 @2.12 ✔
LoL
parlay G2-Vitality O26.5 kills + Fnatic-exceL O22.5 kills @2.54 ✖

[ralle14]

Literally all of my picks lost yesterday but was able to slightly recover on the Faze loss after they got stomped hard in the first map I was able to get BIG on second map. I might take G2 against BIG for the grand finals but i'll probably just wait for the live lines as stake only offers match winner and the odds are very one sided due to the upper bracket advantage.

For the other grand finals Liquid is looking pretty hot in their lower bracket run and Furia not so much after they threw their last grand final against Gen G. I could see Liquid taking it as they have a lot of experience should be a close one.

[tomahawk9]

Lost my G2 bet, but the hope of seeing them win today still remains...Maybe I'm wrong and BIG are actually a really good team?  

G2 6-0 in last map...Come on!!
EDIT* not like this...from 11-4 to losing in OT...not like this.

I think it's going to be a big stomp by Furia. But in case things go south, i might try hedging with some live lines.

[morvillz7z]

Yo, what just happened? I guess i have to settle with 11.00 then:



Props to BiG for finding the strength to fight back, i thought it was all lost after Vertigo and they will go down 3:0, quick and painless lol

They are definitely a tough/resilient team, pulled an insane comeback down 7-0 and 10-1 in the final map to surprise everybody.

tiziaN 2 v 1 in the 28th round is the play of the game, man...

[Trofo]

^Congrats on nice ticket

What happened in the first map of G2 and BIG? It said 16:0 on one page and forfeit or something like that on another one. I started watching at the end of second and just watched until BIG won 3rd map. That was enough for me since I had over 3.5 maps on high stake ticket.
