So we are on to ESL Pro League Season 14 Semi finals and we have OG vs Vitality and Natis Vincere vs Heroic lined up for today. OG vs Vitality seems like easy win for Vitality but nothing can be said for sure. As for other match, Natis Vincere have been flawless in the tournament but can Heroic break the streak today? Very tough but Heroic are also have proved to be a good team since past year.

Head to head wise they haven't beat Navi but in their last meeting they're able to push it to all three maps. I honestly could see Heroic beating Navi if electronic or simple suddenly underperform similar to that recent loss they had against BIG. For now I have a small live bet on Vitality map 2 (Nuke) and planning to take Navi on the next.

I have a feeling that Team Secret might snatch this TI from Bucharest.

I don't know about Team Secret they looked solid at the first half of the season then fell off mid way and there's so many good teams coming from the other region.

I never actually saw their match but judging from what you said, this should also be a close one. So far there haven't been a team giving Navi a headache but it would be lovely if Heroic gives them here in semifinal today. Well OG didn't last too long against Vitality :/

[STT]

Heroic seem to have better teamwork then expected to bring it to 3 maps, from what some considered previously a tier 2 team its surprising how well they can do even though Navi won they deserve credit.    It would be a shame if they did compromise themselves along the way and end up getting dissolved as a team in some way as it seems they are playing legitimate now and still managing to be a great threat.   Should I presume they were always legit from their current performance I dont know.     Anyhow it was a good close game, they seem a decent bet imo and Navi continues to be my favorite team overall.

Well it looks like PSG.LGD are ready for TI after they won the OGADOTA Pit today against Spirit. To be honest, Spirit always have either a great game and they win or they start badly and simply won't recover during the map so they end up losing it and game 2, 3 and 4 prove just that.

I have a feeling that Team Secret might snatch this TI from Bucharest.

Yeah they manage to win game 1 and lose 3 times in a row at game 2 3 4  i really like how they play all over map and aggressive earlier game . And it's not just Ame who plays very well but the whole team. btw is midone still with Team Secret ? seems like he is not with OG anymore

[ralle14]

That series was way too sweaty, i'm playing safe today and go for the o3.5 maps @1.32 i'd like to back Navi in the grand finals but after that tight semis I don't think the odds are worth on the side of Navi.


Also if you guys plan to bet on the series winner might as well do it on stake as they put up a insurance promo on the grand finals. They're going ham with all these back to back esport promos.

Today when sommnus 'm leave the lgd its on the new rooster got the latest championship i guess as a 2nd place on ti8 and third place on ti9 there's a chance that the lgd might give a good match this upcoming ti10, but again don't forget the other teams like team secret now that there's no team nigma i guess as always Puppy secured another the international direct invite and chill. Feels sad that there's no team nigma and TNC on this match up. Is this another back to back championship to OG ?

worth it on Vitality to win

i went with Vit +1.5 hc @1.8...it's all about Ovp and Inf. Navi are dogshit in overpass and Vita looked great against Gambit on inferno. If they let me down in one of those maps, then mirage remains as my last hope (grim lol). No chance for Vita in D2 and Nuke

Zywoo vs S1mple, this is some Ronaldo vs Messi type of rivalry. love it!! this better be a banger!

[hanspeter77]

Crazy match Natus Vincere vs Heroic yesterday each map go very long each team strong first map win  navi second map Heroic  and final map  heroic win so close.
sry for OG on they pick map they lost  each round was a hard fight for the win, and second map pick from vitality for sure the wn strong in nuke.

Same bet for me today, no serious DOTA so I had to go to CS for action today. No surprises with the bans all started as expected so let's hope for those points on Overpass and Inferno or maybe one "break". Is there a word in CS when you take other teams pick? As you see I am using tennis terminology

I am expecting a cracking game and 5th map decider sound like a great was too finish the tournament.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Yes, the great final match has begun, Navi-Team vitality. Who is watching this match?

We have an excellent 5 map series ahead of us. The first map was dust2 and Navi 16-10 won this map. It's currently played on the inferno map. Vitality has to win it or things will get tough for Vitality. Two of ESL's best rate players face to face. Zywoo(1.27) and Simple (1.36) S1mple is beast..

LGD has an incredible roster right now. With Ame overall improved performance plus a very solid midlaner and a supports than can solo kill the opponents core player is a very overwhelming team. I guess they will dominate the TI10 if they can maintain this performance.

I feel sad about Nigma but for TNC?  It's not worth it for a TI spot considering how inconsistent there game on all there tournaments due to there consistent change of roster.

OG needs a miracle to win this TI just like what did on TI8.

[STT]

I needed to watch that match but wasnt available to do so, the Navi odds were over done I agree.   Could have been good bet either way in order to cash out live so long as betting the swings between each map win correctly that'd work out profitably.   In this particular outcome it didnt qualify for the money back offer and it was a close game either team could have taken this but not 1 map went into overtime which in CS isnt that rare between the top teams

According to some discussions, Valorant is still not a popular or mainstream eSports game, so some people do not wager on it on many gambling platforms.

But it appears that we now have another reason to keep an eye on Valorant tournaments, particularly the VCT Masters Berlin. Last night's G2 vs. SEN game drew 800,000+ viewers, thanks to a Twitter war, a classic g2 marketing strategy.

The game ended 2-1 in favor of SEN, of course, but the odds are very low, as everyone knows how good Sentinels are.

[hanspeter77]

Very cool match yesterday its hard a best of five and each round win antoher Team 
Natus play very strong on the first map im seen that im had think ok natus is in good conditions, second round win vitality this game was like a punching ball. 
Last map on mirage was realy hard one round win natus the other vitality.

that was easy


i only watched 3 maps and they were pretty meh, each team won their picks...i missed Ovp and the trend didn't stop, but it looks like both teams were saving the best for last, Mirage stats tell me it was a really close game, especially in the last few rounds

well, a few days of rest for both teams and then they're back for BLAST Premier: Fall Groups...btw, the format of this tourney is rubbish

i remember seeing the Valorant main stream with like 50k more viewers than NaVi - Vitality at some point...
btw, i didn't know Pansy went to valorant as commentator, she was great as a caster in csgo

[STT]

Pansy was originally a Call of Duty player though I never saw her, she probably got a better offer in Valorant since its such a big company running it and just starting out the funding is probably better out of tier 1 for people.   She can always come back, CSGO needs its majors and actual LANS back to be full strength, I dont know Valorant is going to take off especially

Endpoint vs SAW, I'll go 3 maps though Endpoint should win maybe saw has more consistency in the team helping their teamwork where as Endpoint has a new player.
  I thought the Fragadelphia matches would be most interesting to watch/bet but they arent listed, Bad News Bears are wrecking so far which is to be expected I'd bet 3 maps on their next one.

Same and I agree her casting was amazing back at the ESL tournaments.

While waiting for the Blast tournament i'm testing out the waters on Valorant, F4Q+4.5 map 1 @1.93 vs G2 took this one on Betsy. I honestly think this line is pretty decent given that the first map will be their map pick. In their last meeting against G2 they're able to win their map pick and during their series with Sentinels they got at least 9 rounds. With all that info i'm expecting F4Q to secure at least 9 rounds or maybe a map win if possible. For other match information I suggest using VLR.GG I like how their design is very similar to HLTV.

[hanspeter77]

Today in the 99Liga season 18 Team Deftfox vs Unicorns of Love that gone be a hard match for deftfox to win.
eSports Rhein-Neckar vs Epic dudes  the dudes should win this without problems
Sissi State Punks  this name is so  they play vs Cowana Gaming, Sissi play not good so good like the name  think they lost.
