🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Avirunes]

NIP just simply bested BIG. Coming down for 9-0 and to swiping them clean 2-0 map score is really amazing. Both teams have great teamwork but NIP were a better side. BIG didn't had any member rising up against NIP but I guess NIP again knew what BIG were thinking.

BIG now drops to the lower bracket where they will face the winner of the match - Astralis vs OG which is about to happen in couple of minutes.

Two big teams who were shocked by NIP hmm.. Pretty touch match but given the quality of both teams it is hard to predict a winner. You can't undermine BIG as well- this German team is also playing good CS so really is not gonna be easy for Astralis. We haven't seen any over 2.5 maps in this Group A matches but I think we are gonna see one in this match.

Skipping the handicaps for today, i'm leaning on BIG's handicap +1.5 but I ended up with Astralis series winner @1.3 since I have trust issues with these two covering the handicap. Also I parlayed that with G2 to win vs Fnatic later at the LEC for a total of 1.8 the odds aren't that high but it's what i'm comfortable with.

Not betting on CS today, way too much football on offer

I must admit that Group A final match will have my interest, whoever wins between Astralis and BIG will have a chance for revenge against NIP. I am curious to see the odds for this one and then maybe I decide to throw some money. I am thinking NIP will have a much tougher match in the final.

Next go for tomorrow Team Vitality vs Complexity Gaming should be an easy match for vitaltiy warm up 
Evil Geniuses vs G2 Sports G2 should win this match they the better team butt who nows.

[tomahawk9]

group 2 of BLAST premier gonna be so boring...a walk in the park for Vitality and G2, prolly a good round to make some profits off the -1.5 handicap, no chance for EG or Complexity 🤣

anyways, IG - RNG about to start, i've got a few free bets from SB so let's see if i put one of em to good use by backing Invictus Gaming in a three team multi  

edit* if IG lose this match, it'll be totally on TheShyt for inting in game 2, he should be benched for 1 month for what he did there  

Two big teams who were shocked by NIP hmm..

despite NIP losing to BIG yesterday, which kinda sucks cos they get less $$$ from the prize pool but they still qualify to the Spring Finals, they are playing tremendous CS lately...finals are gonna be a huge test, but i have a feeling they're gonna give us a huge upset in that stage of the tourney

Esports General Thread

Given the increasingly interest in Esports over the last few months, and considering that there are some esports fans & bettors in this forum, I've decided to create a "General Esports Thread". Here we will post picks, provide insight about matches, and talk about news and competitions. Hopefully, this thread can become the hub of Esports discussion in the Gambling discussion board so that you don't have to jump from one thread to another thread and the another one just to talk about esports. Make yourself at home and...gg (:

I am surely going to support this kind of topic because I really love esports. I like to play, bet and watch different games. I play Dota 2 and League of Legends even if I'm not very good at it. I also place a bet on any team depends on statistics even if I don't really play the game like CS:GO. I also love watching the gameplay of pro players on tournament and I more likely to watch it when I placed a bet on one side. Actually, the balance I have on my budget for gambling is divided unequally since I always place about 70% on esports betting and only 30% is the money I play on other gambling games. Esports is my life, I can even spend a lot when I have a chance to watch a one live game because money cannot buy your happiness.

Evil Geniuses and Complexity can give some surprise but still Vitality and G2 are giving off some good performances so it should be easy for them but CS Go events are so much unpredictable- one game its favourite and in one game its an underdog shocking a big team. Take NIP for example.

It was a great match but it would have been more exciting if NIP had won that. Surprising #1 (Astralis), #4(BIG) ranked teams is never easy while they are ranked 18th right now. It was a very close match but eventually it was BIG in the end. It was only first group and we still have two groups to play their matches yet.

Don't know why, but I have a feeling that Vitality will take their games without dropping a map (except against G2 maybe) while G2 will probably drop a map in all games. Will check HLTV before the matches start but for now I am leaning towards those bets.

Was this already posted here? the first ever LAN game for Dota 2 during covid19 pandemic. It will be held on Singapore. A major tournament sponsored by One Esports. It was just announced a few days ago. I gone through the pages and no one has posted it yet.

Bets for today:

Vitality vs Complexity - MY BET

Evil Geniuses vs G2 - MY BET

Vitality are obviously huge favorites so going for it, even at low odds it is rather sure win. When it comes to second matchup, G2 were in terrible form recently so I'm going to give EG a chance, especially considering those odds, GL!

It is really good that you managed to vote for Vitality because the last game theyu played, Vitaliy humiliated the whole game and that is not good for compLexity but the bad part of this is it can be the reason for compLexity to practice more and may end up beating the team Vitality. We really cannot say anything rightnow since the result is not yet over. If we are going to bet, we must really know how to read statistics and must consider different factors like unplayable players and since the tournament is still not yet LAN, internet speed can also be cosidered. About the game between Evil Geniuses vs G2, we cannot say who is in the advantage because both of these teams got a 2 lose streaks but G2 managed to lose on S tier while EG managed to lose on A-tier

[ralle14]

Are we going to see another upset just like the first group? After the first half of Mirage I thought it's already over for Complexity then konfig stepped up huge on the second half to secure the win.

I'm also leaning on EG for the next series but I took the over since both teams don't look too great or too bad and were able to take a map against Astralis.

Both went the other way, unfortunately. I would have honestly picked G2 but thinking Vitality would lose to Complexity 2-0. I don't think anyone would have expected that. G2 is a lot stronger now with the introduction of Niko. Niko, Hunter, Nexa, KennyS, and Armanek ..there's just soo much fragging potential. Even if 1 goes off, thats more than enough to beat anyone.

friendly reminder that the DreamLeague is back today with Nigma - OG and Alliance - Tundra Esports

Nice. I suppose things must be relatively ok in Singapore in terms of covid19 cases for this event to be given the green light

VIT pick their best map and their best player ends up with a sub 30 ADR and only 2 kills in that map   totally a fluke win for COL imo, although k0nfig played really good...Zywoo will unleash his full rage on EG today, the americans only won 3 out of 11 maps in the last 5 matches

-blah blah blah-

I am a bit scared to bet on Blast games. I think I got every single one so far wrong Those 2 from yesterday + most of the games in A group last week. Anyway I had a good morning ticket with my clubhouse reward so I decided to take over maps on G2 game and later on Vitality to win 2:0. That way you guys know what to skip.

Thanks for the reminder. Even though i have stopped to regularly play dota2 5 years ago I always enjoy watching some good dota games.. esspecially from OG even if they seem to be not the strongest team in the world anymore. OG can cost you a lot of nerves though if you want to bet on them because sometimes they try the most ridiculous drafts and kinda throw the game away for fun 

[vennali]

CS Go: Complexity surprising G2 and winning the game 2-0. Again, couldnt have expected it. Really good performances from Konfig and BlameF carrying the team and winning a fair amount of clutches.

Same here betting on the blast tournament is a nightmare with so many upsets. Vitality might struggle now that their IGL becomes inactive as he takes a temporary break.

Thankfully dreamleague is back today i'll be backing Alliance later and probably take Nigma live if it goes to a third game.
