I lost over 20 quid on astralis, Lucky I got a hedge on Nip Results, still landed a tenner.

Thanks a lot to EG to close out my tickets.

Thanks for the tip Ill look at the ESL for tomorrow now

[tomahawk9]

Finally! I've updated the Calendar in the OP. Check out the upcoming tournaments in csgo, dota, lol and starcraft!

I lost over 20 quid on astralis, Lucky I got a hedge on Nip Results, still landed a tenner.

Astralis further extended my losing streak (5L in a row: 1 in Dota, 1 in the LPL final, 2 thx to Complexity the other day, and now Astralis getting rekt 😔)

but no time to cry, we have some games today...my 1st ticket: G2 - Heroic O2.5 maps https://i.ibb.co/JpMh3rp/gibmeawin.png big question is: will G2 ban Nuke? it's the only map they've lost to Heroic in the last few months, i have a feeling they won't, but if they ban it, Mirage could be Heroic's pick which isn't a good map for the french...either way, i think we'll see the same old story between these teams, 3 maps

and helluva match in the LEC playoffs: Fnatic - G2...G2 -1.5 at 1.71 odds is good value...though i might try some live bets here, been improving my LoL live betting skills lately, specifically in total kills (:  edit* (the tournament of surprises, at least i won my ticket!)

[Globb0]

yes yes quite right. Back on it today.

Here we go...…  (edit off to a good start lol)

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.

I'm starting to believe in NiP's momentum since every time I go against them they always show up. I want to take Vitality in this series as well but after getting destroyed by NiP three in a row i'll probably just watch mid game and place a live bet.

Also going for G2's handicap later I think the series could end 3-0 for G2 or 3-1 at the very least.

NIP have the ability to do it. They have really good team play and coordination among themselves. Vitality seems kinda okish right now but NIP have certainly improved their plays. They are analysing their opponents and they know what kind of strategy opponent gonna put at what point so unless Vitality have something new strategy or a change in roles to surprise them I think match is gonna be really nail biting one.

Speaking of nail-bitinh match , right now who is watching Heroic vs G2 ? This is also going great so far. 1st match has gone into extra rounds and it's 24-23 with Heroic leading. Epic semifinals...guess I have to take my popcorn out that I saved for Vitality vs Nip already now.

Oh damn second round for vitality and ninjas in Pyjamas is so close.
1 round for vitality and than 1 round for ninjas 
It make fun to watch it, where you watch the fights for Cs:GO?

[morvillz7z]

Astralis further extended my losing streak (5L in a row)

my 1st ticket: G2 - Heroic O2.5 map

Congrats! Streak officially over, G2 and Heroic with one hell of a match, too bad i couldn't watch it, with multiple OTs on vertigo and one on nuke. Heroic got their little revenge on G2 though, i'm glad to see the Danes make the grand final. They as a team don't have that many prestigious rankings, a bunch of 3rd places according to hltv.

Three-game win streak come to an end for NiP, but great tournament overall. Vitality are just the better team imo, final round with a bunch of glocks to secure the win, class!

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

Sorry bookies, not today!

Any early thoughts on the match tomorrow, perhaps O3.5 since it's bo5?

[Globb0]

Oh god another horrible day for me yesterday. Got some evening stuff on to counter the day.

The usual one of my "sure thing" teams lost and destroyed several promising parlays.


Today there seems to be less to chose from.

Here is my selection to get going today

[Trofo]

Not so much games today but I found 2 that I really like for today. Vitality is playing really well and I feel like they will manage to prevail against Heroic today. Heroic was also very good lately but I am hoping for ZywOo to make the difference once again.

Second game I chose is for Espada to take a map @1.6 against Mad Lions. Looking at the map pools this should be a no brainier and this is my high stake bet for today.

Good luck to all and hopefully we will manage to take some money from the bookies.

That's interesting Trofo, I left out Mad Lions because they can be unreliable.

I just looked and +1.5 they are 1/2

If Im not mistaken, over 2.5 Maps is the same bet? that is 10/11

So ill take that tip and add a few multipliers.

There...  2 ways



*edit* just missed you at the poker table I was waiting and got your chair.  

**edit** and you lost more in that seat after you were gone lol

Not really I actually took Espada 1.5. I should have wrote Espada takes at least 1 map
My bet is winning if Espada wins 2:0, yours is not.

I was just earning some krill (360+ now) and then lost badly, but i managed to turn 5k chips into 10 this morning so this gets me back to equilibrium for the day. Now no more poker for me until our tournament

terribles odds unless you go for Under. map handicap, same story, awful odds, i'm gonna go with Vitality ML and then i'll try some live betting (total rounds)

LCS playoffs continues today, Team liquid - FlyQuest...this is hard to predict, especially after seeing Cloud9 getting destroyed yesterday, i feel like anything can happen today, but i'm gonna start off with O19.5 kills Map 1 at 1.71 odds

[ralle14]

i'm gonna go with Vitality ML

Same, Vitality all the way to win the grand finals. This series feels like Vitality's game to lose since Heroic looked shaky against G2 the comeback they did on Vertigo was amazing but i'm not sure if they have what it takes to beat another french team that's better than G2.

I also wasn't expecting C9 to go down like that against TSM. With both teams already qualified for worlds picking a team to win is like a coinflip at this point since they're only fighting for the higher seed and the same thing happened in the LEC as Fnatic took down G2 yesterday.

[hanspeter77]

In 2 Days start the ESL Pro League Europe.
The League start very great with Natus Vincere an G2 Esports, im think this 2 Teams will win they play great.
Maybe OG is the Underdog 
Im hope this jear is better for BIG last monts they got not such much top places in matches

[Globb0]

Oh man what a wanky few days. More loss for me.

My 6x profit is gone Im back to 0

I placed this desperate save a working balance bet...…….

[morvillz7z]

Why it had to be 3:0, ZywOo hello???
Man, what a bummer, i guess i was the only one backing Heroic here, again couldn't watch shit cuz it was overlapping with our poker series.
Vitality being swept in the final, i mean it can't get any weirder than this but congrats to the Danes, well played!

[tomahawk9]

you didn't miss much, just VIT getting outclassed in spectacular fashion  Heroic were simply the better team, they looked like they were play their 10th consecutive final

fun fact: before the final, cadiaN promised a p90 rush https://twitter.com/caspercadiaN/status/1300008975824375808 and it happened on Nuke!! 🤣🤣

winning mentality right there, just having fun in a S-tier tournament final =P

[Globb0]

Oh my.

Geek Fam what you doing?

That's torn it

[hanspeter77]

Start on 2 of September ESL Pro League Europe

Heroic vs ENCE  Heroic have a run, they play realy realy good this match win Heroic 
Faze vs Mouse a classic Europe Match 
Faze is alltime one of the best Teams in europe

[tomahawk9]

ESL pro league just started, and of course, i skipped NaVi's match  

i have two tickets today: G2 - OG O2.5 maps, and AGO +1.5. I think AGO have a good chance of taking a map vs. BIG which will prolly be their pick (Vertigo?), and at 2,00 odds is worth a shot, small stake tho

Heroic vs ENCE  Heroic have a run, they play realy realy good this match win Heroic  

no chance for Heroic without their cheating coach HUNDEN. Plus, Jamppi's back so, quick 32-0 for ENCE lol

Faze vs Mouse a classic Europe Match  

FaZe are going through a rough patch, but mouse are complete crap rn and they just had a roster change (with a bit of controversy)...hard to predict, not gonna add the match to my bet slips tomorrow
