if you guys are not watching RNG - FPX, you're missing out one of the best LoL games of the year so far. DoinB in god mode right now with a penta in game 2 and deleting RNG in every skirmish. Game 3 is gonna be insane!
EDIT* well, game 3 was shit alright lol

I am expecting Spirit - Hellraisers final and it should be one hell of a match as tomahawk9 already mentioned.

And Hellraisers lost. Team Spirit - Empire in the final.

I find it very difficult to predict match and win, i want to ask for people that have the knowledge of prediction and have been predicting since and also achieve profit or success, which way is possible to predict accurately, is by the odd or by the club, like so many times i predict match and it turn against me.

Now live BIG vs Mousesports it stand 8:8 cool match to watch, im hope BIG win.
Today live in the ESEA Premier AGO Gaming vs forZe im think forZe will win butt AGO play very good maybe they win with a bit luck.

At least I was correct that we will have one hell of the match 2:2 at the moment after several swings of the lead and it all comes down to last map, as it should. Now I have to watch DOTA and Italy at the same time, life is though.

This final match for TI10 qualifier is so solid. Both team manage to counter each other on every round which is kinda cool too watch. It's already 3:00am here in the morning and I can't stop watching. Team Spirit supposed to be dominating this tournament since they performed well on top tier team but team empire momentum really gives them a hard time.

In the EEU Qualifiers for TI Navi just got eliminated by Team Empire, so we will definitely not see Navi in this years TI. It's pretty sad when one of the most established and well known Teams don't even make it to the biggest tournament. AS Monaco Gambit is also already out with a very bad performance they lost their first match in the upper bracket against Hellraisers and then they also lost in their lower bracket match against Fantastic Five, a team that i never heard of before. Team Spirit looked very strong so far in this tournament and they probably deserve it to go to the TI as they have by far the most DPC points of all participants.

Honestly, I thought that Na'Vi is the one that will be qualified on this region. They're strong in terms of the roster with 3 former VP players, one of the best hard support, and one of the best carry on their region. I've eyed them that shall win this slot but a surprise that Team Empire lost them. Well I guess, we're going to see it's either Team Spirit that shall take this slot, they've been consistent in all of the tournaments that they've joined. HR is strong too. We'll see.

But The Na'Vi hype is unreal ...I mean I get it they have a huge fan base ( including me ( but lets be honest and admit that this team had its glory a long time ago. Today games were at some point in the favor of Na'vi but team Empire really has a strong background even since 2005 so no wonder Na'vi had a hard game. Now , Team Empire is playing with PuckChamp and it's 1-0 for Empire BO3.

The new Na'Vi is considerably strong to me and that's why I'm hype, I'm aware about Dendi being with Na'Vi but it's not what I'm talking about. It's with their new roster with those former VP players and their position 1 carry is one of the best in their region. But they've lost and it only shows that there are a lot of good teams not just in CIS but also in other regions.
Now: Watching game 5, the last match of EEU qualifiers. Whoever wins between Team Spirit and Team Empire goes to TI.

Man , team Empire were so close to go to TI after so man years and at some point they had 2-1 but Team Spirit came back and won with 3-2. I'm really sad for this young player who is 16 years old and had to carry an entire team for so many games but I'm also glad that I know he has a bright future into Dota Esports.

Team Spirit is strong and they've improved over time with their participation in the past tournaments they've been qualified. Team Empire has the potential, I also miss those moments that there's Team Empire to TI. Depressed Kid is a good player, he's very aspiring and after TI, I think there will be an improved Depressed Kid that we're going to see. Soon, Team Empire is going to be one of the powerhouse again in their region. Congrats to Team Spirit.

Today are very mutch low rang matches to much to write ^^
SinnerS vs AGO Gaming im dont now what is with AGO gaming the last mathc the play so bad i cant see it. 
the games before the last match they play good CS:go but now 

in 2 Days Start the DreamHack open north America  uu im exited some realy cool matches.

Bad news Bears freshly sponsored about to go up against a Brazil team Godsent.   This shouldn't be easy, both teams are capable Im apt to guess the Brazilians will be able to take it but without being sure the best bet is 3 maps I think as it should be a struggle with some close scores either way it goes.
  Also I see the Bears at near 4 to 1 vs mousesports and I understand the bias but its too far so I'll take a small underdog bet for that one.   Its only 1 map, upset heaven and I should look through every game in IEM on that basis really.

Starladder tournament kicks off within an hour or two. Any bets or predictions for today's matchups ?

Going for Team Spirit -1.5 @1.7 as my pick of the day they'll be facing K23.

With both teams having some mixed results recently I still expect Team Spirit to sweep this one as they've been facing tougher opponents.

Ti10 Sea Qualifier is about to start tomorrow. This is what many have been waiting for, most of the strongest SEA teams are going to compete with only one slot. To mention a few, Fnatic, TNC, XCTN, Neon, SMG, and most of them even not a familiar team, they're also strong.
What team do you think folks will take this slot?

sometimes the early rounds of the top tier CIS tournaments feel like a toss up, i might wait until the usual suspects (Spirit, Gambit, Navi, VP) start playing against each other in the playoffs

What team do you think folks will take this slot?

i think the qualifier is going to be a a two horse race between TNC and Neon. Not sure about Fnatic, they're one of the main favorites to a lot of ppl because of their performance in the DPC earlier this year, but TNC and Neon surely learned a thing or two during their AniMajor and Singapore Major trips not too long ago.

Boom - Execration should be a good match. XCTN were pretty decent in the AniMajor considering they played against Team Secret and many other powerhouses

[ralle14]

What team do you think folks will take this slot?

Rooting for TNC to take the slot after their big turnaround during the second season of the DPC then the second best team that could pull it off is probably Neon or Boom.

There's a bunch of roster changes during and after the last major (Neon swapping their offlaner, Fnatic losing Moon) so it's kind of hard to expect much and with that said I wouldn't be surprised if Fnatic goes out early.

Probably TNC and Fnatic will have the chance, they have a good players in their respective team so I think they will do really good in this one. But I don't think that they would last that long in the The International because SEA has a curse that they aren't able to get in the big matches at the end of the tournament.

[hanspeter77]

in 6 Days Start the IEM Cologne very cool i cant wait for the event.
Today in CS:Go  Saw vs Endpoint  Endpoint should win this match, ForZe vs Natus Vincere ui that gone be a hard match for forZe im think they cant win this match.
K23 vs Virtus.Pro a easy match fir Virtus.Pro warm up 
Extra Salt vs GODSENT im think Godsent will win.

Boom and XCTN was already done and it's Boom that's going to advance and going to face TNC tomorrow. Neon also advances the same with Fnatic and they're going to have a match after TNC-Boom.

It's a sad year for TNC, because of the changes in the DPC season they should already been qualified with majors that they've won. But now, they're on the qualifiers battling for the only slot due to the system. Actually, I'm rooting for Fnatic and we'll see if Neon will push them to lower bracket.

Yup, majority of us are into TNC and Fnatic but we shall see if any of the two will.

That's just how things go unfortunately but I don't think it's a sad year for them overall since they're still one of the best teams in their region.

Also took them to win @1.45, I feel like the odds should've been more close after both teams dropped maps on their first series and the handicap on boom is hovering around the same odds.

Neon showed us what they're capable of in game 1 and game 2, pretty close games, although bit of a blunder in game 1 lead to Fnatic's comeback...but game 3, masterclass from Raven
Neon - Execration in the lower bracket tomorrow is gonna be a banger! i'm rooting for Neon and Yopaj (:

I booked the Over maps at 2 odds. GL!

Well TNC has performed well so far even though the series versus Boom Esports was very close in all 3 games and every game took longer than 60 minutes and therefore it was quite tense to watch as every bad executed teamfight in such a late stage of a game basically means a loss for your team, so both teams must have felt completely under pressure in those moments. TNC will face Fnatic, which managed to beat Neon with 2-1, now in the upper bracket final and for me the outcome of that series is completely unpredictable. The lower bracket matches are also pretty good but for me Boom ESports is the clear favorite in their series against Galaxy racer.
