My only ticket of the day, i can't see FaZe winning this one but you never know, we saw quite a few surprises already in the tournament.
Vitality gets to play Sprout in the quarterfinals if they win, avoiding Astralis and G2 up until the grand final on Sunday.
Glad i didn't take the over on OG/MAD which was my initial pick, horrible CT side for MAD on nuke.

Bragging time, it was excellent day today and all my eSports games passed very nicely with solid amount of luck thrown into the mix.
*OG won easy
*I was watching Vitality win first map and get to 15:6 in second and had to get away. I came back when they finally converted match point and won 16:14. Good thing I did not watch in between, would get mighty nervous.
*Omegalil won in two, so this one was easy
*I wanted to play Team Empire -1.5 but my local bookie doesn't have that option so I had to go with under 2.5 and here is were luck played into my hands since they lost 2:0 This was a very entertaining DOTA game and I enjoyed it immensely

Yesterday in Faze vs Vitality , Vitality looked confident and played really good. Faze started slow in 1st map but in the end gave Vitality the round. In Nuke Faze were really horrible. They started good but they just gave away so many round where they had man advantage like 2v4 situations.

They should have got Nuke with the way they started. Didn't expected such a professional CS team to gift rounds like that.w

Nice one Trofo

I had another horrible day. But I did pull it back near the end with this one,



At least that means I have something to play with today, that was my last pound.


*edit*

The first map was a back and forth I thought Faze was going to close it out when they crushed Vitality in the 29th round to secure 15-14 but Vitality pushed it to overtime then everything went to Vitality's favor to secure their pick.

I had this as a 2:1 in an Acca so I was gutted

Yesterday was a good day for me as well parlayed both Vitality and OG to recover a bit from my loss last week.

I've got a league bet today since it's the LPL finals JDG vs TOP two of the best teams in LPL. In the last playoffs final JDG won 3-2 against TOP but this summer season TOP beat JDG 2-0. This series could go either way but i'll take TOP here since their performance is slightly better than JDG.

[Globb0]

OK here is my selection of parlays for today

I hope to land a few of them

Vitality is a great team every sesson they play realy good.
and vitality has been around for a long time, everyone of this players is a solo player an team player good.
Im love vitality and im from europe.

I feel like Faze should have done better. Lot of mistakes and so, seemed like proper communication and coordination was missing in Faze. Vitality are a good team and they might be enjoying 2 nd rank right now but Faze is not a bad team either. They should have picked a map at least.

Anyway that game is gone now and today we already have some teams advancing towards semifinals - Heroic and Vitality both swiping their respective opponents. Vitality was kinda expected but Heroic did a good job sweeping Complexity. Tomorrow we have Astralia vs Nip and OG vs G2 

[Globb0]

Well these 2 came in



a couple of others came close.

Anyway up overall. Good one.

[ralle14]

Doing the same thing as last time and parlay the favorites once more. I really like both favorites to win but I feel like G2's series could go to all three maps since you don't know if OG would show up or not. And for the second series we've got Astralis that's slowly going back to their old ways while NiP capitalized on their opponents having a bad day. 

[Globb0]

I have spread a little. Got some good irons in the fire.

Im watching Avez v Dignitas right now    (avez go from 7-2 up to 7-8 down as usual flakey - now coming back again - next overtime?)





*edit* OMG Uncanny! second period of overtime beginning now Avez
 

!!!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

[Avirunes]

OG vs G2 is ongoing and match is going on tense. Feels like G2 is gonna lose this out as the are down by 3 rounds right now in map -dust2. OG are playing bold today and is likely will be the one to advance as it seems right now.

Also for next playoff match between Astralis and NIP, put my little money on Nip+1.5 map. Astralis are doing great with new additions but Nip are not a bad team either. They have better team play as I feel and I kinda bit of support them as well. Go Nip

[Trofo]

OG vs G2 is ongoing and match is going on tense. Feels like G2 is gonna lose this out as the are down by 3 rounds right now in map -dust2. OG are playing bold today and is likely will be the one to advance as it seems right now.

What a comeback from G2. They were 15:10 down on decider and managed to get to the overtime. Then in the overtime they were 3:0 up and almost squandered that lead. They managed to convert last match point with only one player staying alive and that player had 2 health. It doesn't get much closer than that

Had them on my multi, now I still need Astralis and some football to come trough.

OG is fairly a new team but I guess their adjustments are pretty good even though they have not made their name known for playing CS:GO. On the other hand, G2's games are always entertaining to watch and bet on since any team can be the underdog while having the matches. Though I can still say Evil Geniuses is being consistent on how they approach the game and its nice seeing Astralis come back up from some slump. It would be nice to see more matches to bet on that revolves around most top teams and not just teams available within their own regions.

Yeah OG is a new and young team with much potential for the Future.
Now Live Astralis VS Ninjas in Pyjamas take a look great match, Astralis have not so an good start ninjas in leadership.
Is a very tight match, they given noone everything  , hopefull Astralis win 

[Globb0]

Im down to needing Astralis to win for good money.

What should I do?

Erk…..

I actually had lost my hope when it went 13-9 and I stopped looking at it. I haven't seen a comeback from G2 much but that was really good play. Will check highlights of the match to see what went off surprising in ending rounds.

Nip up by 1 map and I won my pick. Yay!!

Im down to needing Astralis to win for good money.

Astralis are yet to play their pick. They are usually good in train but that was when Xyp9x and gla1ve were also there in team. Love the way es3tag played in 1st map though.

[Globb0]

I managed a bit of a hedge on the NiP outcomes as I have about 20 on if they lose.

[Avirunes]

So next up tomorrow we have semifinals ESL Cologne  : Heroic vs G2 and NIP vs Vitality. NIP vs Vitality is so fun to watch. Vitality have better rank right now but IMO they both are equal on play level. I feel like that match is gonna go over 2.5 maps.

FUCK 

I think anyone with cs:go tickets today have added Astralis' ML, including me, i went as far as taking Astralis -1.5 in separate bet. Seriously i did not see that coming. At least Avirunes got something off that match backing NiP 1.5

Do you think NiP can pull another upset in tomorrow's semi-final? I'm not sure how many points are given for 1st place (should be plenty), i'm low key rooting for Vitality to win the tournament and overtake BiG in the overall rankings as #1.

My early bet for tomorrow's ESL semis: Heroic/G2 O2.5 + Vitality ML total odds 3.16
