Crazy day in the ESL first map OG vs SinnerS SinnerS lost Today again they play the frst map not to bad butt we seens they had problems against OG.
Virtus.Pro lost today that im dont think  first map tehy play realy good on the second an thirth map they play good to butt Complexity was a bit better.
and now live G2 vs forZe its a crazy match the first rounds G2 strong butt than come forZe  the last round on the first map start now ^^

Off to a good start today thanks to EDG's win against LNG. They still looked somewhat shaky though during game 2 they had a bad start but recovered mid game due to LNG's individual mistakes.

Next pick I have is OG@1.51 kind of concerning to see Complexity won every single h2h result but recent form is leaning heavily on the side of OG. With all these close games from both teams we could see another 2-1 result but i'll skip on it since the h2h results haven't gone over.

does anyone have any tips for the ESL One Fall playoffs? tomorrow we'll have Team Empire - Spirit and Virtus Pro - PSG.LGD

I haven't placed any bets but I like Virtus Pro it'll be interesting to see if their group stage result is legit and Team Empire's +1.5 handicap during the CIS qualifiers they forced Team Spirit through all five maps.

same


and we're one the same page about Team Empire, went for the handicap expecting them to put up a good fight today

I am out of touch with CS, following DOTA almost exclusively from eSports niche. Had a very nice pick on RNG this morning, hopefully football will come trough as well.

man, Dinamo Zagreb shit the bed so bad 

anyway, Team Spirit to win @1.3, not great, but i'll take Empire +1.5 at 1.7...they had a good run in the group stage, winning a map in almost every game except that 0-2 vs Alliance. Also, i booked the over 2.5 in the other match...i considered LGD to win, but VP's current unbeaten record looked scary...GL everyone!

ESL pro league season 14 group B final matches will be played today and they will all start at the same time. The teams that will come out of the group are already certain, regardless of the outcome of today's matches, it will not make a difference. G2 still couldn't beat any team at 0 points. The OG team did not lose any points in this group and I think the Complexity team can challenge the OG team in the evening's match, we will probably watch 3 maps for this match.

PSG.LGD with the throw, they had a 10k gold lead, then they lose their first big team fight of the game and then it all went downhill from there. Congrats to VP for winning ESL One Fall...seriously, who can stop them?

PSG.LGD can stop them, I am expecting them to meet in the final again.. They are experimenting so much with those strange heroes and drafts and the need some time to make it work properly and get into the opponents head. They had Spirit Breaker and Undying cores in first map and then again Spirit Breaker as core in second map. Both times on mid position and it looked like it has potential.

VP has a perfect record so far, total of 6 wins with 2-0 for all of the games. Thats pretty sick for a bootcamp tournament, most teams are trying some new stuff for TI but VP just smashed all of them



I was kinda hoping that PSG.LGD win and picked them for my bet but turns out I should have stick with VP instead but the winner odds for PSG.LGD was quite tempting lol. Well it seems that we've got a new favourite for TI. Back in Animajor I thought PSG.LGD might smashed all the team that qualified for TI

PSG.LGD can stop them, I am expecting them to meet in the final again.

Yeah, I think PSG.LGD is still much better than all the other teams on the lower bracket.

Both times on mid position and it looked like it has potential.

Well the third time is a charm and it might be fun if they pick that hero again against VP in the Final

[ralle14]

Going with FPX -1.5 today, not much reasoning behind the pick aside from they're the best team in LPL. The over 3.5 seems like a good alternative but the handicap offers better odds as i'm expecting this series to end 3-1 at the very least.

Then on dota i'm leaning between Tundra and Beastcoast's +1.5 handicap. I feel like odds should've been closer but I somewhat get that Tundra's group fought more difficult teams.

[SUPERSAIAN]

The results for Group B were thus, OG team managed to be 1st in the group without any defeat. The G2 team has no wins. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it very much in these group matches. An also, group C matches have started today, favorite teams Faze and Navi, it will be a pleasure for me to watch the matches of these teams.

Psg.lgd has an incomplete roster. Xiao8 is just a stand-in for nothingtosay which is the key player for Lgd in case Ame is not performing well. Despite there temporary roster, Lgd still perform well on this tournament. I'm so glad that I didn't bet on this match. VP is pretty solid on this tourney tho. But still they might rematch again in the finals though.

-snip-

Honestly I am surprised with the result of group B. I thought at least G2 and Virtus Pro would be able to go through but they failed and that came as a big surprise. Good play from OG, Forze and Complexity throughout their group matches.
 

Now it is time to turn the head towards Group C and we have quite some teams there- BIG, Navi, Faze, Mousesports, Fnatic, Evil Geniuses. All teams IMO are quite good. Some are having a bad streak but well they have really good players in and quite give us some surprises.

one down, one to go

I thinkt Tundra - VP will meet again in the grand final...they haven't dropped a single map so far except when they met in the group stage (0-2 VP)

and still, they beat Alliance and Team Liquid before

Fnatic actually looked pretty good today, considering how shit they've been for the past few months + the roster changes...too bad jackinho is playing with a controller and a 60hz monitor upside down, 4v5 in every round thanks to this bot 😂

Yeah, they are really monster especially there pos 3 to pos 5 who can totally shutdown the enemy carry without any hesitation. We know that Ame sometimes play a throw game with there previous roster and they can't recover the game once Ame was totally shutdown but the current roster is totally different. They can recover the game even there carry is not performing well on early to mid game just like what OG do when they are on the solid roster before. I believe LGD is very strong and unstoppable this year,

PSG.LGD is currently my favorite team. I feel like every time I watch their game I see some new DOTA mechanic or hero that nobody plays in tournaments. They were the last match I was waiting on last night to bring my nice multi home and they delivered


Did not even consider to hedge the ticket at all. Was sure they got this and then I was sweating a little in the begining of the 3rd map before PSG got they shit together.

With the combination of KuKu and Carl tandem since dota 1 days, they have a great day and earn a lot of respect for their gameplay because they are good on their Era and until now they earned more because of the new team they got which is the T1 imagine they got into the Top 3 spots of the international having a 60hz vs 144hz has a lot of difference in terms of playing.

Yeah they surprised me yesterday with how they played both games. Except for Jackinho all played very well. New players also quite made their good show in debut but hoped Jackinho also should have played some part in. He missed quite some sitter in crucial round. Missing two close Awp shots also threw commentators laughing. 

[tomahawk9]

Rogue - Fnatic...another FNC match going to a 5th and decisive game? maybe, all of their games in the playoffs finished 3-2, so why not...i booked the over maps at 2.6 odds edit* really hope Rogue doesn't make it to worlds main event

something happened overnight cuz he's been great today. Obviously, BIG are like two tiers below NaVi so that helps

Oh, missed the Big vs Fnatic as was busy with something but yeah looking at stats on hltv it does seems like he contributed quite well in their win against BIG. Also it is a bit surprising that both new signings are geling up quite well with other members of Fnatic. Both mezii and ALEX also contributed very well in their game against Navi. Overpass was so close yesterday and I like the way they are working so well and committing into certain strategies they put up.

I can see Fnatic lifting up in ranks and they needed to be as they have some good CS history.

Few hours left T1 vs PSG.LG low bracket

I am much more confident in T1 to continue for enter the semi final against tundra or vp . i really like their draft pick and their hero choices. what's more with the current meta it seems they are quick to learn from the experience of the previous match against the tundra who finished them with hero support   i really enjoyed their performance in the previous 3 matches.

[hanspeter77]

the last days went Crazy in the ESL for 2 Days BIG win strong in the first and second map
happy to see BIG play so good
Im had think Fnatic win vs Natus Vincere butt no they lost 
Im sorry for Mousports first round win FaZe, second map Mousesports and the final map they play to bad to win.
