Astralis to win against Heretic, ....

You mean Heroic? Well they have been playing well if we leave out the previous 3-4 matches. They were the winners of ESL One Cologne 2020 EU , and also came 3rd in the ESL Pro League 12 EU. So can surprise out some good teams but Astralis seems like a tough target.

Right now, they have pushed into OT in Heroic's pick Vertigo. Good comeback from Astralis to cover up 4 round deficit and push to OT.

This time are so much esports machtes not only CS go, all kind of esports games.

I love watching CS matches so CSGO have been the only eSports I usually bet on for me.

Same fore me, CSGO are the most interesting games to watch. I used to play a lot a few years ago but now I just watch and sometimes bet. Dota and LOL is also cool from time to time to watch.

Anyone has a good bet for the Grand Final of IEM New York on Sunday? Should get pretty interesting with Liquid and EG, probably my two favourites.

Of course I mean Heroic, got a case of stupid it seems

23:23 at the moment, very good map one. I have a feeling Astralis will get this first map.

Astralis got the first map. That's a good advantage taken considering that was pick of their opponents - Heroic. Still 28-24 shows Heroic were giving them hard time as well on Vertigo. Train is up next and Astralis are good on that one.

Haven't check the market yet but both teams are really unpredictable. Bit feels like EG can take Liquid down but have to see how Liquid have been playing as well before saying it for sure.

lost their 2nd map as well. Really not sure what is going on with Nip but usually they are not this bad.

Nip is shaky atm and I will leave betting on it for now.

It usually comes down to team work and cordination which is hard to determine from outside, they might develop this better over time.   I often avoid or discount any team which has altered their line up recently.

100T is 7x

14% odds to win the series and despite stumbling on the 1st map they went on to win their map pick and the 3rd map for a great come back.    I knew their best player was probably leaving the team but surprised to hear since then the entire team brand will cease, maybe he got an offer he couldnt refuse and he was able to sell on the team but I got the impression it was forced by lack of money in the game right now.  Seems like even a great win like this wasnt enough to change the problems all teams face in CSGO without majors.

Ro8 starting this Sunday at 7:00pm KST (Seoul).  I'm kinda hoping I'm getting a couple of you guys into it.  Lawl.  Had a lot of good memories with this old game as a kid.  



Anyway yeah...  The lines are up now at Nitrogen and FJ.  

I got Rush at 3.41, fading random Flash once again.    Soma at 1.71.  And parlayed Zero and Larva at 2.01ish.

Personal disclosure:  I busted my Stake account betting these at ro16.  Lolol.

Just come home and I see Vitality loosing 10:2 on fnatic pick. Golden just clinched 1 vs. 4 in the last round. Anyway I placed a bet on Vitality to win @2.9. I am counting they are loosing first map and then I hope for comeback. I think the odds are that high since Vitality map choice is a little bit strange - Nuke 29%. Doesn't look good but if they picked it I hope they trained on it hard. We shall see...

Dreamhack Start Today
Sprout vs North  i would say north win hopefull they get a comeback there was in the past very good team.
and GODSENT vs BIG, BIG should win, butt is this eneugh for the finals im dont think.
The constant im missing at this Team.

The third quarterfinal match for Worlds is very one sided between TOP esports and Fnatic. I'm taking the over 3.5 maps@1.8 since there's a bit of value on Fnatic getting at least one win against TOP. I doubt Fnatic could advance to the semis but I think there's a good chance they won't go out 3-0 since they're the more experienced team as they've been through the quarterfinals before and had a decent results during the group stages.

@ralle14  nice win! my only esports ticket today was also on Fnatic



that was live, but then I chickened out and didn't place more tickets...didn't expect it to go all the way to game 5

it sucks that they couldn't beat TES, the dream  EU final is no more  i'm heartbroken, 2-0, Fnatic were so close 😢 not sure if TES were too good or if FNC simply lost the momentum and couldn't recover mentally

[hanspeter77]

Dreamhack now Live Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Sprout
and Faze vs Godsent.
very good games Europe come on an win
Faze is one of the best or the best team from Europe in Cs:go
O 1 to 1 in the match for faze and godsent, last round start soon.

Good call, TOP lost the first two maps       I've not played enough League to be judging these games on any detail especially.

Top Esports 3, Fnatic 2
Although Top Esports were, and still are, a favorite to win the world championship as China's No. 1 seed, there should be a small shadow of doubt after this series as TES looked more disorganized than in the single-game group stage. Fnatic, meanwhile were visibly ramping up after a rocky start and slight meta misread. Once they became comfortable in the current meta, they looked unstoppable with strong Level 1's and focused drafts around jungler Oskar "Selfmade" Boderek as one of the team's primary carries.

Live in around an hour or so.  It's Rush vs Flash, the grand daddy of the game, in a best of 5 playing random (all three races).  I mean playing random is a feat in itself if he gets out of this and reaches Ro4.

Rooting for him but I got Rush tho at decent odds.  I don't think Flash will be as lucky as the last round.

Edit:  Wow...  There's something about him that makes his opponents worse.

[hanspeter77]

Tomorrow play Astralis vs Godsent at DreamHack
Astralis is my favorite, play alltiime good for Godsend is it very difficult to win this match.
And Fnatic vs North that could be a hard Game.

[docdiss]

Going for rather safe combo today:

North vs fnatic and BIG vs G2 - MY COMBO BET

Both teams are favorites and should win so I'm doing a combo to multiply my winnings

[Trofo]

I am also playing what I consider a safe early double to boost my bankroll before creating main ticket later in the day.
Espada to win @1.48
Virtus pro to win 2:0 @1.5

Which gives total odds @2.22

[tomahawk9]

Espada to win @1.48

if there's something that i learned after betting a few times on these sportsbooks sponsored tourneys with low tier teams is that it is bets to avoid them, for some reason matches become as random as a coin flip and underdogs, either that or i've been extremely unlucky in my bet slips :/

i'm also gonna add both DreamHack matches to a couple of singles


@1.59 odds,, if Norf picks overpass or nuke theb Lekr0 & Co should pop off and win their map pick


i could see this going to the decider, but i'll favor BIG cuz G2 have been pretty underwhelming lately, especially after the news of FaZe's NiKo possibly going to G2

It is actually quite the oposite for me. I started playing an early CS double every morning and it is ususally just those low tier teams in sportsbook sponsored tournaments but I am getting it correct more often than not. Usually I just play over maps but today I went with what I posted above and it passed quite easy. No complaints here, hopefully it will continue in the same way.

Now I have over 2.5 maps on Fnatic and BiG matches. Fnatic won their map pick and now North started with 3:0 on their map pick so I hope first game will be settled without problems.

Unfortunate. North were just trolling on Overpass, 90% of the time they had a man advantage but then bottled it, or MSL was there to help Fnatic with his crap awp shots. Another one bites the dust, another team going to my blacklist    Off to the next match

[docdiss]

Clean 2/2 win yesterday, today I'm going for:

Vitality vs NiP - MY BET
NaVi vs forZE - MY BET
Heroic vs North - MY BET

Vitality should be an easy win while forze and North are heavy underdogs although I think those odds are definitely worth a try considering the fact that navi and heroic are definitely not at their best form at the moment
