🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[finaleshot2016]

We have 25 pages to discuss the matches, but most of these are CSGO and Dota   I am also a player and a follower of CSGO tournaments, but I prefer League of Legends I would love it if someone was interested to discuss what would happen around the league of legends. But I've been watching here most of the time and you're not interested in it   It's so sad. I can't squeeze in any comments to talk about it if nobody cares about it  

I also prefer League of Legends but FPS is mainstream again because of the new game Valorant. There's always a hype happening on the LoL pro scene especially right now which is G2 having a comeback and aiming to be the world champion this year. I support G2 right now because of P1NOY who came back are now part of it, I want to support a Filipino pro player in the league. Riot games are good at making hype on their own games so it's worthy to talk about league too.

Hoping for a g2 vs t1 finals in worlds!

Me too, T1 has always been a team that I've admired since 2013. And of course, mentioning T1, we can't help but mention Faker, who has always been in awful form over the long term, no one can do what he has done. But last year's world finals, T1 lost to G2 so quickly, which shows that G2 is really strong. But that strength failed miserably before a Chinese team. I feel pity because they missed it. I don't know about you, but personally, I hate the LPL teams

unfortunately, we don't have many League fans around here. I like LoL but I'm not an expert in the competitive scene so i don't talk much about it, i know just enough to make some picks for my bet slips   kinda sucks that right when top tier CSGO is taking a break, the LEC Summer, which is what i follow the most, is also taking a 2 week break =P at least LCS is coming back tomorrow!

G2 dominated all that time but I guess the worlds will have more hype if FPX and T1 are on the finals. Anyways, still rooting for these teams; T1, G2, and FPX.

I think so, most of the league members are teenagers and only a few of us grew up with league as most of the people grow up with dota. People thought it's very a complex game but in reality is, Dota 2 is much easier. LCS & LCK tomorrorw, rooting for TSM & FPX!

I used to be very passionate about CSGO and other FPS games, I spent more than 4 hours a day just sitting and playing it. It's a true passion, I even want to play it every day, I have a few friends to play with, but right now, we no longer play CSGO, I only watch a few of his tournaments. When you reach a certain age, you will feel that your reaction speed is not as quick as when you were young. It is no longer fun when you are slower, I played worse, and my friends no longer like to play, so I ignored it, I switched to League of Legends  I can play more fun in this game 

G2 dominated all that time but I guess the worlds will have more hype if FPX and T1 are on the finals. Anyways, still rooting for these teams; T1, G2, and FPX.

But G2 has never won the world

Feeling unlucky with these tier 2 Csgo matches I had sAw and the map handicap on sg pro, the score will always get close but the underdogs usually coming out on top once their economy is on the line.

Hoping my luck will be different in these LCK matches later today, taking Gen G -1.5 (@1.7) vs Team Dynamics and KT Rolster (@1.5) to win against Sandbox Gaming.

Gen G lost against T1 last week but I think they could still sweep this series as they've 2-0'd weaker teams before.

KT Rolster looking to turn their record around after beating DRX few days ago. Sandbox is on a 2 win streak and they're slowly improving but imo it won't be enough to beat KT.

[Trofo]

After few days on self imposed eSports break today I have decided to give it another shot since football offering is very slim.

I played a 4 leg multi with following games:
*LDLC to win against Nexus since they have been in incredible form lately and they have already won against this opponent recently
*Kt Rolster to win against Sandbox gaming - following a pick from ralle
*VICI gaming to win against CDEC - this is best of 5 and VICI gaming quality and form should have enough time to bring them to top
*Ehome to win against SAG - Ehome looks to be in good form and they won last 3 encounters

[Globb0]

Man Winstrike let me down last night, missed out on good money there



Im backing this in Dota, seems low risk low reward 1.25/1

Team Sirius v IG
EHOME v SAG
Infinity esports v Thunder Predator
Infamous v Cr4zy



CSGO 4.15/1
 
FATE v Illuminar
Attax v Saw
Endpoint v Honoris
Hard Legion v Cr4zy

Low risk means less profit  I prefer higher profits, but high risk does not mean higher profits  It's like the difference in competency between two teams, I can get high profits when I choose the weaker team, it also means I have a very low chance of winning. I often love taking risks, but this makes me feel a headache because I don't know how to risk here the risk here is stupid when I know the difference between teams  Maybe I should switch to betting on match scores, what do you guys think about it?

Good luck with the remaining games Globb0 for the Great American Rivalry Division. You won with Team Sirius but unfortunately Ehome lost.
I like your bet for team Cr4zy, I didn't know that hFn is their carry now. A strong pos 1 for real, I'm a fan of him. It's been a long time since I've seen him again with a strong team.

*Ehome to win against SAG - Ehome looks to be in good form and they won last 3 encounters

And now you guys know why I started skipping eSports bets and often advised you to bet opposite from my predictions. Another day with 100% bets. I managed to miss all of them, even those that was almost won like KT Rolster, Vici and LDLC. Imagine how much money it would be to take all the outsiders from above list on single multi

Don't sweat it bud its hard territory for betting. Im getting it. Its better to bet in play and see the potential for a flippening when teams have no economy or doing forced buys. If you feel it add a few solid bets on other games as an accumulator,  and bam you have something to build on about 5/1 good odds.

That KT Rolster match was frustrating to watch they started well in the second game but the momentum quickly shifted to Sandbox when they manage to kill them one by one and snowball from those small mistakes. I didn't watch the entire series of the dota grand finals but man that's one loss you can't forget if you're Vici, getting reverse swept when you're one win from winning the tournament.

I agree in play betting is always better if you have a lot of free time and if you're not confident with the pre live bets.

Continuing my LCK betting today with a two legged parlay, T1 and Gen G to win 2-0 for a combined odds of 2.1. Two teams in the upper table fighting against teams in the lower table.

I agree that low risk bets are not so desireable, you profits are either fairly small or you need to bet a lot of your bankroll. I prefer too on betting on higher risk teams. For a small return I just stick to investing. But
it all depends if you think the quotes are wrong. So if you know alot about two CSGO teams and you think the chance of winning is much higher than implied by the odds. It sounds like a great bet. At the moment with only online tournaments I stopped betting a lot.

Backed some early dota there is not a lot of games on today

Backed some early dota there is not a lot of games on today

Since the other sports like football soccer and cricket etc has resumed we might see a lot less betting in e-spprts as people will now bet on those live matches.
E-Sports betting gained popularity in these lock down months because there were no other sports to bet on, other then the E-sports.

Ah that makes  sense, there is more football than ever at the moment etc.

That intensity also cant last. Maybe there will be a final rebalance later.

Continuing my LCK betting today with a two legged parlay, T1 and Gen G to win 2-0 for a combined odds of 2.1. Two teams in the upper table fighting against teams in the lower table. 

The match was too overwhelming from T1, the damage coming from Teddy and Faker was too great. Looking at the critical damage from Teddy, he's really impressed. But do you see Faker's dodge in the Blue team? It was a great dodge, it was like a tool, he was as fast as a tool 

I agree that low risk bets are not so desireable, you profits are either fairly small or you need to bet a lot of your bankroll. I prefer too on betting on higher risk teams.

No no, I don't really like to bet on risk, but the risk will produce higher profits and I usually choose it. And I often bet on the team I like no matter what the odds, it's not really a bet, it's my belief for that team.

[ChuckBuck]

Damn, that's shit! I couldn't believe that T1 had lost so badly. They destroy in game 1, but they move silly in the next two games and lose  They're famous for control, and now look, they lost everything, they lost every target, no dragons, no barons, nothing, they let the enemy take everything. Their fighting style made me really uncomfortable, it is the most depressing match I've ever seen  I am disappointed!
