🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[tomahawk9]

so much stuff going on today: the LPL semi final right now, then the LSC and LEC playoffs (gonna watch G2), some matches in the OMEGA league  (watch out for 5men and Vikingg, high odds for both of them), Malta Vibes and and round 2 of ESL Cologne! 

well, my first ticket of the day will be Vitality - Astralis O2.5 maps. Astralis showed great teamwork in the last game vs Fnatic despite a couple of players making their debut with the danish team. Obviously, this will be a hard test for Astralis, but if their last performance is anything to go by, i think they can take a map. Vitality will prolly win d2 or Vertigo

mibr with only 6 rounds vs G2 and Evil Geniuses are on an 8 game (17 map) win streak. 

they're so bad lol

Surprisingly easy one for Astralis, first 0-2 loss for Vitality since June, i had them as favorites to win the tournament, well they still can, have to beat FaZe next week in a decider match to make the playoffs, but they did not look good from the few rounds that i watched.

Let me sub my prediction for tomorrow's games real quick, i have Heroic 1.5 + COL/NaVi O2.5 total odds 2.62

[Globb0]

Im back from holiday. Nice camping in gale force winds. 

I saw lots of tents in bins. 

Here is my Dota starter for today

[tomahawk9]

COL/NaVi O2.5 total odds 2.62

I got this one in a single at 1.89 odds...rule of thumb is to stay away from NaVi, but there's not much going on today, so (edit* oh geez, what a surprise 🤣)  although, Spirit vs forZe in the malta vibes could be a good match, kinda screams O2.5 maps too, doesn't it? =P

about Astralis, they're looking too good, didn't expect such a performance from them. they messed up my single ticket but Furia came in to save the day and helped me recover from the early loss https://i.ibb.co/K6L7jnB/ez4furia.png

@Globb0  no csgo today?    GL!

haha yeah where are my 1 million parlays. What a slacker.

Ill probably get back to it tomorrow if anyone is interested.

I watch dota but in a kind of clueless state. While the commentators shout oo hes brought out the gypsy whipper and that will go great with his new boots.    

No Idea but it all looks nice when it kicks off.

I may try to start that chart tomorrow so think about your recent experiences with particular teams. Lets make a little knowledge base. I will appreciate the tips from people and use it as a cheat sheet for recent form.

I do have some ideas now, I just need to think on the format so its maintainable.


*edit*

I just watched and lost some money on Gambit youngsters. I had them to win 2 :0 and they lost both maps easy. It seems they changed in game captain and they aren't the squad they used to be. Wish I knew that before betting 

Exactly this sort of thing, a warning for others

[Trofo]

COL/NaVi O2.5 total odds 2.62

I got this one in a single at 1.89 odds...rule of thumb is to stay away from NaVi, but there's not much going on today, so  

I have this one as well as part of multi ticket.

League playoffs is back once again, for the most part i'm betting live so I couldn't post my predictions but i'm somewhat confident on this one to hit.

Rogue to win vs Fnatic @1.67 a slot for the Worlds 2020 is on the line here. I expect Rogue to take this series as Fnatic barely made the playoffs and their performance at the end of the season wasn't convincing. Also Rogue beat Fnatic twice during the summer season. Fnatic could redeem themselves here but right now they don't look like the second best team in the league.


Edit : The series isn't over yet but this is a loss already as Rogue's execution is way too slow while Fnatic is always one step ahead. Rogue had a decent draft in the first game but couldn't stop the snowball during the early game and forced azir on all three games when it already failed in the first two games of the series.

Busy and didn't watch the game, but NaVi not even crossing 10 rounds in both maps is surprising, no chance for my parlay.
After the first couple of games, i think Astralis stand out amongst everybody else, and with BiG out of the tournament, they might be the team to beat going forward.

Only Nine to Five 3 games tomorrow (the early ones as well), i have to look at the matchups and make some bets later tonight. By the way, Syman have a new name, not sure if anyone noticed, they are called K23 now^[1]. Oh, and Copenhagen Flames have a new roster.

edit;^[1] - it's actually their old name, i didn't know that...

time to blacklist Natus Vinbots? i think so 

well, at least the hedge came in to save the day, again https://i.ibb.co/9ywZV5d/ezpz.png  lmao 

@ralle14  i only watched game 3, and as soon as i saw rogue's questionable attempt to invade blue, i knew it was over 🤣 seriously, game 3 was such a clown fiesta, totally on Rogue, they played SO bad...hopefully they'll go back to the being the RGE we all love against Mad Lions or S04
Btw, did you watch T1 - DRX earlier? T1 lost one game and it was when Faker was subbed in (he was benched in game 1 and 3), i feel so bad for him

i think Astralis stand out amongst everybody else, and with BiG out of the tournament, they might be the team to beat going forward.

yep, and i think Complexity were the 2nd best team in this group stage, would love to see both teams in the final

tomorrow i'll keep an eye on Malta Vibes semis and then the final. gogo Team Spirit!!

Definitely time to blacklist NaVi. They always screw me in the end. If I needed them to lose 2:0 s1mple would probably have few 1 vs. 4 clutches and dragged them over the edge and of course electronic would be top of the server, not last.

Nice hedge to save the day. I tried with few hedges yesterday and just ended digging even bigger hole for myself. Hopefully, today will be better, it can't be worse for sure

That is the risk, so I add a few sure things to it to bump up the multiplier. get to about 6/1 - 11/1 then it feels worth a quid from the £6 you are winning the other way.


And I only do it on games Im watching and they aren't quite right, any team can go 3 or 4 for 0 at the start of the map with the pistol round. That seems a good moment. I mean also when you know its eco rounds. Ive watched a lot of this day after day.  heh.



*Edit*

You are right not much on. Here are my starters for today



Good luck

I can't help myself and I picked NaVi to win @1.60 again today. There is very little on offer from eSports today and that match looks like the best value for me today. I know I am gonna regret this but they have to win this one. Don't they?

I also have over 2.5 on Fnatic - Heroic match.

[Globb0]

I hit only 1 out of 3 of those.

The games are incredibly thin on the ground today and I woke up early.

I got on a dota and a few CS accumulators



Good luck all

[tomahawk9]

watching North - forZe right now, i have the russian to win this match, but they're not looking that good, mainly cuz they're giving North some insane clutches in map 2 because they're bots   edit* Forze, 12-3 to 14-16..fck this team

I also have over 2.5 on Fnatic - Heroic match.

i'm gonna follow this one. If Fnatic doesn't ban Nuke, then that's a free map for Heroic. Fnatic should win Dust2 unless they start trolling, so we'll prolly go to map 3 edit2* can we get some LoL or Dota games plz?

@Globb0  i really like the new layout in that screenshot, less green and a darker grey, nice! Also, i'm digging that 2nd acca, too bad i'm taking a break from parlays, otherwise, i woulda followed your picks (:

[ralle14]

I'm also going with Navi to win the series @1.63. NiP might've showed some signs of life after taking down BIG but it's hard to go against Navi when you see their 9-0 head to head results against NiP. Navi could be a bit rusty since they didn't play any competitive matches for a month but I think their firepower is enough to beat NiP once again.

Then Furia to win vs 100T @1.5 later for the NA side. Generous odds for the second best team in NA at the moment.

Edit:

Btw, did you watch T1 - DRX earlier? T1 lost one game and it was when Faker was subbed in (he was benched in game 1 and 3), i feel so bad for him

I wasn't able to catch the full series only the third game. I guess they really want their sub mid to have more experience.

I needed that painful reminder from NaVi to keep to the decisions I make. I told myself never on NaVi again and you all know how it ended today. Have you ever seen NaVi get only 3 rounds on their own map pick? What the hell.

Same, that's enough for me to avoid Navi. Flamie underperformed this series he's usually one of the top fraggers going toe to toe with simple in the scoreboard.

So you guys took NaVi ml and complaining, i only needed them to win one freaking map added to my Heroic -1.5 that would've netted me around 6.00...smh
Online CS:GO "Where Amazing Happens", #4 ranked team with three rounds on train, are these dudes betting against themselves or what?

edit2* can we get some LoL or Dota games plz?

Here's two dota2 winning tickets, thanks to rand1919 who went 4/4 on the day, i only switched Cyber Legacy ml with -1.5 for a little boost

yeah I had a totally horrible day and got cleaned out which is a bit annoying


!!!Some recent CSGO form warnings!!!

Avez = Flakey and unreliable - Lost as favourite several times in last few days -  Globb0 Lots of going from miles ahead to overtimes - Globb0

Navi = Avoiding Navi at the moment - Trofo  :  Same, that's enough for me to avoid Navi - ralle14 : Definitely time to blacklist NaVi - Trofo : NaVi not even crossing 10 rounds in both maps is surprising - morvillz7z

Forze = Forze, 12-3 to 14-16..fck this team - tomahawk9

Gambit youngsters = *warning* It seems they changed in game captain - Had a bad 0-2 game  - Trofo

[Trofo]

Gambit youngsters = I had them to win 2 :0 and they lost both maps easy. It seems they changed in game captain and they aren't the squad they used to be - Trofo[/b]

This one was true for that match but they looked great in next match. Easy 2:0 for Gambit I think. And they look OK against Spirit today so maybe that was just one game problems after long pause. I am not removing them from my tickets just yet. Seems like there is still good potential to earn some money on them.

I updated it for you. Is that OK


Its ok if it was only 1 bad match, but if I collect a few for the same team it may show a pattern. Like I am thinking with Avez lately.

Thanks for adding your thoughts to it.
