heh! i was gonna bump the thread today cuz there's a lot of stuff going on right now, but you guys already did it. Good timing 👍

LCS Championship is back today (not my cup of tea in terms of betting). LEC Playoffs will start tomorrow and LPL Playoffs are underway with team WE - OMG tomorrow. Also, Hearthstone Grandmasters will start in less than 24h. Official YT channel here

Dota PIT has been wrecking my tickets lately so i've decided to completely skip the rest of the tournament  PSG.LGD playing like dogshit, most games don't go Over 2.5 maps, just meh...I'll still watch it tho, Elephant - IG next saturday will be a banger

Gonna try my luck in the Pro Series 7 AM and see if beastcoast can get their first win today

Liiv Sandbox to win vs KT Rolster and over 3.5 on LNG vs Suning @1.8

devastating for LSB. 6 wins in a row and then they lose to one of the worst teams in the league :/ i saw the other one at 1.6 odds earlier today but didn't pull the trigger, 1.8 was good value...avoid multis, my dude

Elephant is currently in top form, they are just playing such clean DOTA without any mistakes. They wrecked couple of my tickets early in the tournamnet but then I changed my tactic and now I am just betting on them to win every map. Will be putting some money on them for sure.

Can't help it heh   it's been a while since I was that confident but LSB failed me it's frustrating how they forced lucian mid twice in a row. Before that I thought Suning would be the one to crush my parlay as they're close to getting swept after choking the first game then received a one sided stomping from LNG in the second game it took them two losses before waking up then things went south on the other leg and the rest is history. 

Speaking of LEC playoffs i'm locking in Rogue -1.5@1.66 my only reason for this pick is based on how well Misfit would clash against the tougher teams. They're able to take down every team below the standings but their record is somewhat abysmal against the top 3 with 1win and 5 loss.

yeah, and at this point bookies know Elephant are the main favs in the tournament so it's hard for players to catch good value. Their game vs. IG screams Over 2.5 maps, but i won't do it, i won't place a bet here

oi! we're on the same wavelength 👍
I managed to recover from the losing ticket last night (beastcoast bunch of bots can't win a match lol) thanks to Team WE ez 3-0 earlier today and put that unit on Rogue too


dumb bookie says +1.5 but it's obviously -1.5
Hey, Misfists are no strangers to upsets, bastards beat G2 and Fnatic in this split (and, obviously, they ruined my tickets) but lost to Rogue twice, so hopefully no big surprises today 🙏

[ralle14]

Our handicap lost but I enjoyed watching the series, that game 5 was like all or nothing for both teams, whenever they're about to engage it feels like Rogue is about to lose but their jungler was the big difference maker.

On to the next, I have Nongshim @1.83 vs Gen.G, watched Gen.G's last series against BRO and it seems like they're still struggling. Crucial match for both teams but I think Nongshim have the upper hand in this matchup given Gen.G's continuous regression throughout the second half of the split.

[Valorant]
Tomorrow SEN vs 100T in the grand finals of VCT Stage 3 in NA. I go for Sentinels since they're the Astralis of the Valorant right now, the team comp is very good, they are very individually skilled especially the Duelist of their team which is TenZ. They haven't lost yet in stage 3, and they have a 3 win streak on their way to the grand finals, so it's better to bet on them; it'll be easy money.

Next matches for today and tomorrow Start the ESL Pro League i cant wait for it.
9ine vs Alpha  Alphs should win this match they play better.
Fantastic seven vs AVE im think AVE will win butt Seven is not so bad they can win butt it gone be hard.
RBG vs Recon 5   im think RBG win.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Hello to everyone, tomorrow ESL pro league 14 starts, I'm already excited for this. Here are tomorrow's matches

Heroic- Bad new bears
Vitality- Ence
Astralis-Sprit

The odds I will bet for heroic and vitality teams do not look very good, but I see it as a guarante. For the Astralis and sprit match, I think 3 maps will be played, so I will bet 2.5 over. I would like to see if there are any other bets ?

[tomahawk9]

it's pretty underwhelming to watch the first competitive t1 csgo match in a month finish 16-1, lmao

i've booked this ticket

not super good value so i'm ready for dissapointment

on another note, why did the Dota Pit organizers put the final on a monday? wtf? 😂 anyway, BOL in your tickets today

Was surprised about that as well, would have been better for me if I have missed it. PSG with clean sweep, guess Messi signing had influence on eSports as well  

Was sure this one is going over 3.5, was reasonably sure Elephant will cover 1.5 handicap and tried even Elephant match line so it was 0/3 for me to start the day.

[hanspeter77]

Now Live ESL Pro League Vitality vs ENCE first map 11:6 for Vitality, im think they win this map end the next too.
Next Match play Astralis vs Spirit, Spirit can win butt it gone be hard. im eccpect that Astralis win.
 Tomorrow we had 3 cool matches and we see the Underdog playing Bad News Bears.

[STT]

Bears got wrecked, I hope they can get upto speed.   Pretty disheartening but not totally unexpected, hopefully they are able to handle it and present more of a fight.

Spirit vs Astralis is interesting odds, 3 maps and bet on Astralis I think presuming they have been doing their due diligence not just winging it.  I really expect them to be the most reliable team for practice etc. so we'll see but they been through some changes so who knows.

ESL Pro League Season 14! This $750,000 dollar prize pool tournament features 24 teams, 8 of which will qualify to participate in the following playoffs. The playoffs are set to start on September 7th and the grand final will be on September 12th.

I also took Astralis here but I am not sure about it. Major roster change made with Lucky coming in for Xyp9x and that is a crucial change and I wonder now if I made the right decision backing Danish up today.

I am not a fan of roster change and always go down in favour of other team if there is a change in the team. But well let's see..

[tomahawk9]

it's one of those days, eh?
i managed to watch the last game and it was such a clean stomp...blimey, and i was talking shit about LGD the other day 

well, 5 more days for ESL One Fall 2021. I'm looking forward to this one. Alliance, Thunder Predator, Virtus.Pro, PSG.LGD...lots of good teams, should be a fun tournament

I also took Astralis here but I am not sure about it. Major roster change made with Lucky coming in for Xyp9x and that is a crucial change and I wonder now if I made the right decision backing Danish up today.

i almost added Astralis to a ticket...dodged a bullet there, i didn't know about Lucky playing today. Debut against Spirit, eh? no pressure, kid 

[STT]

I agree but Im mostly on the 3 maps so its already ok now.
Spirit being especially good on Dust2 is something I forgot, probably applies to any Russian team tbh.   If Russia didnt love the map, it might have been removed from the main cycle already.
  Now I'm thinking about it, its not ridiculous they could get a win on Ancient so odds nearly 4 to 1 for the 3rd map in Spirit's favor was a decent option.   Newer maps favor aim and less considered plays, tactics then normal regular mainstream; they barely touched dust2 outside of aesthetics for fear of altering cs lore in this way.  Overpass was considered new for years so Im sure Ancient definitely still is.

I also pulled out my bet when they had a good run in the first map in the starting. Lucky did well yesterday and there were some couple of good flicks from him. Well it will not end there as he was brought in to fill device's shoes. Lets see how he adapts in games further.

Team Spirit had some good momentum going on in Dust 2 but they fall apart in remaining matches. Inferno was all Astralis which wasn't that much of a surprise given that is the map where Astralis have very good control. Ancient was bit of toe to toe but Astralis did well to get into a momentum and put it up till the end to win the match.

Had Astralis over 2.5 maps so that one returned part of the loses. Just played another DOTA double, ML on Spider Pigzs and V-Gaming, hopefully they will make up for yesterday blunder. We shall see. I am a bit skeptical since odds are quite big so I am thinking I missed some news or player changes. That is life of gambler while putting hours on "real work" - no time to properly check things. It is no coincidence that I made most money in betting ever while being covid surplus last year 

[hanspeter77]

now live with the first match today Vitality vs Bears and Vitality is on the win road for this match butt that was not hard to say. 
Today are some other great matches in the ESL league Astralis vs ENCE this match should Astralis win.
And later Heroic vs Spirit  im had a bit compassion with Spirit im dont think they win, a easy match for Heroic 

[ralle14]

Same, I was expecting Spirit to come out on top yesterday but after that reverse sweep I don't know if they could turn it back around. Based on recent results Spirit's form seems slightly better but Heroic had a dominant performance on their first series.

Odds on Astralis is also tempting I want to parlay it with Heroic but my luck is horrendous this past week so i'll just stick with a single bet on Heroic.

Excited for the games scheduled for tomorrow and the following days as that's when the League playoffs will continue.
