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

I can't believe Mibr's coach was also caught cheating and they still failed to qualify. Curious to see how they'll perform now that their coach is out of the play.

I'm taking BIG -1.5 for the next match, both teams struggling but I still like BIG to get the sweep here.

Also thew a 2 leg parlay between BIG (match winner) and Liquid -1.5 for x2. Chaos might struggle against Liquid as steel left the team and MarKE will take his spot.

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

You what what im not now ^^?
Why cheating coach what they do i realy dont now?
Yeah Mouse hm is very lucky, 1 day they play good the antoher day so bad.
Faze stands out as the only one from europe they play mostly good.

In the article they say HUNDED used the glitch only on DreamHack Masters, that tournament was back in June iirc, why are they giving him a ban now, or they didn't know? Either way, it's pretty low exploiting glitches like that.

Plus, Jamppi's back so, quick 32-0 for ENCE lol

Please god no, look at my parlay, Heroic ML + Vitality ML, i really need this to hit lol, let them lose their next game but not this one.  

So, NaVi won their opener, guess who had the O2.5? I could never get their games right, i give up... haha

I think they found out the glitch just now because there were more coaches like Mibr's "dead" and one more were found using this glitch in tournaments that were held in May- June I guess. There was a report about 3 coaches who were banned including hunded.

Yeah it's a shame coaches are using this glitches and giving their players information exploiting those glitches.

Heroic was designated to be my main pick of the day with nice @1.6 odds to win against Ence. Now I am not so sure, I want to play them but all this news make me a bit unsure of their performance. They are still probably the favorites but now I am afraid to put high stake bet on them. I'll probably end putting them on some multi and then being mad at myself when they 2:0 Ence easy and I lose my multi on some other pick

Its just like an athletics drugs test.

They may not be able to detect it at the time but using forensics they can work out from old (data) samples.

I want my parlays back. sheesh

[tomahawk9]

Oi, you guys forgot about Dota or what?  Huge game for Alliance today, gonna back them in a single https://i.ibb.co/K91sFBs/dot.png  also, have Vitality ML in another ticket

They are still probably the favorites but now I am afraid to put high stake bet on them.

go medium or low
Heroic just won a big tourney, they have the momentum, while ENCE are playing their first competitive cs match in like a month. Match today shouldn't be the benchmark to test how Heroic will manage without a coach in this tournament. I'll avoid them for the time being

and in this case, the old samples were 1500 csgo demos!!   https://twitter.com/michau9_/status/1300533494687432712

Avoiding them is right, I feel bad for taking them earlier I thought it's going to be a quick 2-0 after the first map but I was wrong.

I didn't forget about Dota, I had a parlay for the ESL SEA playoffs but lost it on SAG as they got stomped pretty hard by BOOM.

Faze -1.5 is probably my last bet for today and nothing is going in my way recently so I won't be surprised if mousesports gets a map here.

Did you guys watch first map beetween Viking and Aliance? Damn what a match, 96 minutes for one map, all the heroes maxed out, bunch of fights with whole teams buying back.... Crazy stuff.

Next map will probably be over in 20 minutes

Faze hasn't been in their best form recently but I was expecting them to win at least given how bad mousesports have been recently. Woxic was benched and bymas came in as replacement for mousesports and it turned out well. Slightly narrow win so can't say mousesports is back with their best form.

I am still disappointed with woxic being benched but they also have a good reason since he hasn't been best with his role within the team. Hope he finds his way back again into the team.

I only caught the last 15-20 minutes of that game and I have to say that last teamfight was pretty intense.

I agree that series was more on Faze struggling rather than mousesports doing good but still it's a good start for them we'll see how far they'll go with Bymas.


The upper bracket matches for the Omega League starts in less than an hour, i'm going for Team Nigma @1.55 the h2h favors OG but Team Nigma still looking great even without Kuroky.

The odds for Secret is low but the handicap is tempting @1.68 I might grab it later if Nigma wins.

[Avirunes]

Fnatic just won against Team Spirit 2-1 . Lost the first map but really did great as a team wrecking team spirit on Inferno and Train. Loved it.

Astralis vs Complexity is up next but can they continue their form. There is a good news for Astralis fans though that gla1ve is back and is reported to start today with es3tag sitting out this one. So it would be magisk, dev1ce, dupreeh, bubjki and gla1ve starting out today. Complexity are another good opponents and they shouldn't be undermined as well.

late reply but I did watch it, i remember that at some point in the game the casters were like "if both teams keep playing it safe, this game could be infinite" and i was like "WTF???" lol almost 100min, but the crazy ending was totally worth it!!

talking about Dota, tomorrow, couple of big games in the Immortal Division, i'm going with:
Nigma - Team Liquid https://i.ibb.co/4jX0DMN/nig.png
Evil Geniuses - Alliance https://i.ibb.co/5xQS935/all.png (EG have a good record vs. Alliance, though)

There is a good news for Astralis fans though that gla1ve is back and is reported to start today with es3tag sitting out this one.

the only good news for me today cuz i got rekt in my csgo tickets, one of them was Astralis ML ):  dev1ce not looking good lately, the other day missing some easy shots in key rounds, and today with an underwhelming performance :/

[morvillz7z]

I was able to shake off the bad start of the week with decent wins today, both of my parlays hit (for a change), both with over 4.00 total odds.

Basically getting all 4 games from ESL Pro correct. fnatic and Spirit was the easiest pick of all O2.5, COL and Astralis was the opposite, extremely hard to predict, but i thought COL ML had some value and i took it, in all fairness game could have gone either way, two overtimes. Gen.G and G2 clutched 2-0 wins to make my day!

I think they played up good there. But yeah they missed some easy shots in rounds so yeah not that expected from Astralis. Only thing that was dot perfect from Astralis was usage of utilities yesterday. They should have won their pick Train but at 15-14 and with Complexity running with 4 deags and 1 scout on poizon they really did a mess there. They should have won the Train at least but they messed it up or let's say complexity played them on that round.

[morvillz7z]

I missed all games today, but i was able to get something off my live bet against Heroic just now. AGO finally beat them 2-1 after wasting multiple match points, i think it was 6 or 7, last two maps in overtime. The Danes are 0-2 to start the ESL Pro, "no cheats - can't win" or they hungover off their major win last week? They still have 5 matches left, but it will be hard making the top 4 and subsequently advancing to PO.

NaVi lost 0-2 to ENCE, should i even ask...

[tomahawk9]

of course they lost LOL

anywho, i'm watching the LCK split final right now, trying to get fired up before the game that i'm looking forward to watch today: G2 - Rogue...but it looks like it's gonna be a clean 3-0 for DWG (so many pauses, though). But for the LEC match, i have

https://i.ibb.co/RTK5Jv2/g2.png

also have a Dota ticket, Team Secret -1.5...they're looking so good lately, only dropped one game in the last 6 series (12-1), this is like the Secret before the break edit* unlucky, Secret shit the bed and G2 not in a good day,, only Complexity got me a win today but meh

Have you guys seen how Nigma just managed to snatch map 1? They were 20k or something down and Alliance was destroying them. Then Alliance decided to go for a base push and managed to get the throne one hit from collapsing when Arc Warden respawned for Nigma and placed a bubble on the throne 3x times in the row and they managed to kill all Aliance heroes twice in that time and then just turned it around. I think Nigma won the map while odds were 1.01 on Alliance.

Go check this one out, it is worth it, believe me. My words don't paint enough of a picture.

My single live bet hit again, id say a lot easier making picks while watching the game rather than just looking at h2h and map pool stats pre,
too bad i don't have enough time to do this more often. Astralis in control from the start (9 straight rounds on Nuke), FaZe looked helpless at times, quick and easy one for Astralis.

What do you know, we have more coaches admit of using the coach bug:

Rejin suspended from mousesports as he confesses to coaching bug use
F_1N admits to one-time coaching bug use, gets suspended by Gambit

Yes, I watched the first map and I can't believe they were so desperate at ending the game that fast instead going for the safer route to push the barracks or slowly bleed Team Nigma out since they were so far ahead in terms of the networth. It reminds of that one liquid game where they become greedy and threw everything at their opponent including the buybacks.

I think Alliance could've ended the game if Niko ignored the three remaining heroes while Miracle was dead since the respawn timers was still at 10-15 seconds left but he chose to kill/zone the two supports at the back.
