Is there any fans of Vikin.GG for Dota 2 in here or impressed with their performances for the past tournaments? Well, they now ended their journey with that roster and now the team itself has departed for that roster. I guess the players are strong and they can still continue with that roster having a new sponsor or just stay just them just like the other teams. They got a good future and only has to improve more for the next minors and majors and maybe the next year's TI.

i don't understand. Did the team just split-up for good? is the org gonna sign a whole new roster or did the decide to call it quits?  

vikingg were like a tier 1.5 team. Really good in tier 2 tournaments but also a tough opponent whenever they qualified to top tier events. gonna miss them

Staying away from the handicap today and going for a safer play with Afreeca to win @1.42 vs Fredit Brion

the giant slayers are at it again   i did expect them to put up a good fight today, but the +1.5 odds were so low that i went with Over 2.5. Did not expect a clean 2-0. I haven't checked the stats, but let me guess: Lava was the MVP of the match? he's too good for this team

anyway, let's see if i can get some of that stake back with an over 2.5 maps in VP - Astralis

Odds from last night. Current odds in some shark bookies around 1.87

Starting the match Astralis were very strong going into Overpass (picked by Virtus Pro) but somehow they made it in CT side. Right now it is in OT and both teams are really playing it like quarterfinals giving their all. So far looking at it seems like you could win this but there is second map - Astralis pick. I have my money on Virtus Pro to advance.

EDIT: All Astralis in OT and they have managed to get the first map. Still it was so close and good recovery from VP as well into second half.

hell of a game! 2nd map also went to OT which secured me a winning ticket. Gonna enjoy the rest of the match while i wait for the LEC. Got a nice double there with Fnatic + G2 both to win at almost 2 odds. Let's see if they can maintain their good form

UUU Astralis win the quartel final first round lool im dont eccpect that 
now live Gambit vs FaZe they play on 13 point for Gambit and 11 for Faze hard first map great to watch.
when FaZe win than they defet the best team in the world an play in the halffinals vs Astralis.

[STT]

Faze winning this second map is over 7 to 1 odds, Gambit should win it and have the better record on overpass but anyhow thats worth a small bet.    Endpoint take spirit to a 3rd map, this might be the highest rated British team I can remember in a while  previous there have just been players who joined other teams like smooya.   3rd map is ancient which might make it more random in theory but I got a feeling Spirit just win it on aim but the odds already reflect that outcome.

yes, the quarter-finals have started, faze clan - gambit eliminated esports and went to the semi-final. I had the chance to watch the last map inferno match, they played a great team game, faze clan. Especially in the first half, the team was very focused on the t side and they were able to make a coordinated entry very effectively on both sides. The game superiority was in the first half phase, and they continued their aggressive game in the second half and won with this ease. I want to see your Faze clan champion it's been a long time  

by the way brooky is really doing the hits with scout and awp.

I am on over 2.5 maps today for both matches. Sort of thinking G2-Astralis has to be over and while I am not so sure about Faze-NaVi but also smells like over to me. I did not watch CS lately and I have never seen a team play on Ancient before. Hope that will be the pick today but it seems to me that it can only be a decider on Faze-NaVi match and that means I will not watch it again since my bet will already pass  Always watching stuff I have money ridding on.

[SUPERSAIAN]

The next matches to be played today are the semi-finals.

G2-Astralis
Navi-Faze

favorites appear as navi and g2. my bet is astralis wins and i have over 2.5 maps bet for Navi-Faze match. The IEM Cologne 2021 champion will most likely be navi.

Who do you think will be the champion of this the IEM Cologne 2021 tournament?

[tomahawk9]

shiiiiit, TES - FPX game 1 finished with 26 kills 

already won the over maps in T1 - DK...as expected it's a very tight match. Still, clunky start of the weekend in my tickets

Faze winning this second map is over 7 to 1 odds, Gambit should win it and have the better record on overpass but anyhow thats worth a small bet.

FaZe Clan are the biggest surprise in this tournament mainly cos of their performance in the past few months. karrigan said it in an interview, that it's time to show the difference between online and LAN, and boy are they looking hot in the first big LAN tournament

I am on over 2.5 maps today for both matches. Sort of thinking G2-Astralis has to be over and while I am not so sure about Faze-NaVi but also smells like over to me.

I'll follow your Over Maps in G2 - Astralis.
FaZe - Navi, hard call imo...Faze are playing great lately and the +1.5 handicap at 1.6 odds is decent. But Navi have a pretty good record in FaZe's best map Mirage so idk. I might take the over 2.5, but i'm still not sure...

I already grabbed the handicap line on Faze, Navi haven't swept any team for quite a while and now that Faze is looking more competitive than ever they should at least get a map.

Who do you think will be the champion of this the IEM Cologne 2021 tournament?

I'm expecting Navi to take it as well but if they get eliminated later today then G2 will be my next option.

Yeah it was amazing one. The OT in second map was very close. It was 18-16 with Astralis leading and only one round win for Astralis to make them enter in semifinals but VP turned it around to move to 3rd map. But unfortunately they lost quite heavily in 3rd map.

Whole game it was the same saga. Astralis taking the lead in first half and then VP making recovery and then OT until the 3rd map where Astralis took the lead but didn't gave VP the chance to recover.

GG g2 in the grand final congratulations. Astralis was really bad on the nuke map. When they won d2, I thought they could beat g2 since the last map was inferno, you know astralis was undefeated in inferno before, it's really bad that device isn't in the team. Too bad they lost 3vs2 in the 13-14 rounds. If Astralis won the round they would have been 15 and the g2 team would have remained eco.


 The other semi-final will start soon faze-navi I hope faze wins we watch the g2-faze final.seems impossible navi is too strong.

yes G2 win this match it was a great match, for the start im had think Astralis win this butt no 
oh yeah im dont now maybe Astralis sleep in nuke or im dont now.

Astralis really gave a good fight against G2. They kept  G2 on toes in third map but G2 were also able to get wins in crucial rounds in last stages and booked their place in finals. Good play from Astralis and there are some good signs I am watching for Astralis like Xyp9x coming back into form and Bubzkji improving a lot  as well. Gla1ve is also delivering as Awper as well. So good signs..but still there are some things going around in Astralis abut contract so reports are maybe players and coach leaving.

The other semi-final will start soon faze-navi I hope faze wins we watch the g2-faze final.seems impossible navi is too strong.

Should be a good one given how Faze is performing but yeah NaVi are too hot to handle right now.

[hanspeter77]

Guys I need help. I want to bet on CS:GO as it has an active tournament right now since Dota2 is waiting for TI tournament. I'm a player of CS:GO too but I'm not updated on the pro scene especially the teams and roster. I want to know what's the underrated team so that I can watch and bet them with high odds. Your suggestion is much appreciated and I will do my own research, So don't feel responsible for your suggestion.

I think the odds not to much different in any casino you, since i didn't really follow cs go tournament you can analyse in some website Win - lose history btw why not just wait for dota? currently in dota there are many new teams that are playing well and with high oods too . such thundra and OG yesterday match for TI 10 qualifier the odds quite high even for team like OG and also Enigma and Hellbear Smasher.  do you follow any major or minor dota tournament too ?

I'm well updated on Dota2 Pro scene, As I stated, there is no major tournament anymore on Dota2 so most of the well known team is not playing anymore since they are already preparing on TI. The current tournament right for low tier team, I don't much data on this team that's why I decided to just bet on CS:GO while there are still major team playing on tournament.
