🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread

I've updated the Calendar in the OP! The top 3 Esports will have their biggest event of 2021 this month...i'm stoked!!

Worlds 2021 Play-in start tomorrow and i've already placed my tickets:

Have no idea about LOL so had some extra money and put them all on toma instincts. First one already won with LNG winning against Hanhwa and now waiting for the Cloud9 one. Cloud9 seems to be doing quite well in previous meetings as I checked. Let's see how long I can go on backing toma bets.

Are you ready for the International 10? Who's the team your banking on to win? Mine would be OG, it's kind of generic but at the same time they're new line up seems to be solid, Sumail is still a good player so hopefully he can fill in the shoes left behind by Ana.

I support team Secret for now. because my favorite team nigma and liquid both didn't qualify LOL    former player liquid and nigma Matumbaman I like his draft choice . I actually like the OG team because they are a strong team, proven to be a TI winner 2 times in a row. but I think it's time for Team Secret or Virtus Pro.

some cool matches in the German ESL league Start in 2 Days
Im think the strongest Team are Sproud an Cowana, BIG play vs Cowana Gaming im hope they win butt its gone be hard for BIG.
Sproud vs Playing ducks thats should be easy for Sproud to win an earn some points.

Felt some disappointment and shock that they're not playing right now, seems that they're getting a little rusty right now, Miracle doesn't seem to be the same Miracle back then that demolishes people even when he's alone. Team Secret is a favorite given how they're an all star team plus they have the legendary Puppey for captain.

I'm still counting for OG. I'm an OG fan and they really are an orthodox team, I think Sumail is a good replacement for Ana. Since Ana has already announced his retirement, the one to replace him should be that strong and experienced. Well, an ex-TI champ he is and I think he is well deserved to be part of the gang. But on this meta, a lot of things can happen about new drafts and items, we might be surprised if there's another hero that they're going to highlight that isn't common to be used as it is.
In another news, those teams that have covid positive players, they can still play in isolation and this is a good consideration from Valve despite contraction.

i forgot that there's gonna be a lot of series that will clash with LoL Worlds games 

Have no idea about LOL so had some extra money and put them all on toma instincts.

2/2 wins  (: 
i forgot to share my picks earlier. One ticket won @1.5 odds, C9 pick is @1.7

[l3pox]

it'll be interesting to see esports betting coming to blockchain games
this could happen to Axie Infinity with the structure they have now, since it's all set for other styles of games
it'll be definitely interesting to see the future with these

[tokeweed]

In case some of you guys are interested in this old game...  ASL 12 is at the elimination bracket with the quarter finals starting on October 10...



As for the lines, I think they’re all sharp and parlayable except for Soma vs Rush.  Rush a slight chance of winning as an underdog in a Bo5 which makes him the value bet of the bracket.  FJ has SC/BW listed under SC2 if you’re looking for a betting market.

Hmm, OG... I wouldn't bet on them. They played  terrible  for a year and  failed everything they could. I haven't got it all, but  my favorite is  likely to be one if these two -   Evil Geniuses and Virtus.pro. The latter is the team from my country so I have a destiny   to cheer for them. These  boys have long proven that they can play Dota, but, frankly,  on the international scene they are constantly falling apart. Hope this time it’ll be different.

Today in the Intel Extrem Masters Extremum vs Team Liquid Liquid should win without any problems
Evil Geniuses vs Triumph same here for Evil.
Team one vs Godsent that gone ba a intres match Team one play not so bad the last matches they can win maybe the next big team

Thanks man, it was fun watching the games and winning some. Had no idea what was going on was fun to watch the dominant display

Team liquid is a good pick but I have doubts on the other two you mentioned. EG has been going on some problems so I am expecting Triumph maybe making some troubles for them today. Also Godsent has been playing very well so I think it should be easy for Godsent in the other one.

Liquid should be having an easier match compared to others. I like Fallen as an IGL and I like his shot-calls and their overall rotations. Liquid has been one of the better teams in the region and they are very well coordinated. I'm hoping that that would win without any stutter.  EG has also got an easier matchup against Triumph. I don't think Triumph will be able to stand against EG anytime soon and I'm quite not sure about the team One vs Godsent match, that one could be a 50/50 one but again, I'm not so sure about this one.

The International Group Stage revealed https://liquipedia.net/dota2/The_International/2021/Group_Stage

Can't say a thing with this bracketing, both brackets are going to hurt each other and there's no weak team every TI. All of them are worth the slot and even though there are some underdogs, it's still a strong team and we'll never know who will be ending as the champ for this TI10.
This should have happened last year but they have to move it. It is less than 24 hours for the first matches to start and I think that I'll watch the OG versus Alliance.

My favorites are PSG.LGD and Team Secret. PSG after great season and some incredible drafts with plethora of options on all positions. Team Secret on the other hand had very shitty season but I think this tournament is all that matters for them and they probably have few nasty surprises for their opponents prepared since they did not play anything last couple of months.

My early bet for tomorrow goes on Alliance +1.5 against OG @1.6

[arallmuus]

Thats a pretty confident bet you had there. Meanwhile I made a silly parlay with some spare change with EG, IG, OG, VP, Elephant, PSG.LGD and Team Secret to win 2-0 for their first game lol. I made an outright bet for PSG.LGD and OG already as I think its pretty much going to be either of these two teams again so yeah we'll see this goes

Yeah, those two teams are solid but only one got a good run for the past season pre-TI. If there's another team that I'll be hoping to win and that probably is Team Secret.
They've got a solid line up and Puppey has always been in the TI ever since it has started. From TI1 to TI10 he's been there and trying to hit another TI title. Good luck to all of them.

Yeah,  you are right they got an easy win.  Intel Extrem Masters is not a team that can stand up to  Liquid. Despite the latter  had very few wins in the last 20 matches and lost playoff at ESL One Summer 2021 they play better than  Extrem Masters.


BTW, most of bookmakers bet on OG at International 10 though I believe that Jesse  Vainikka, leaving OG, has  weakened the team. Among the championship winning side of 2019 only three players left on the team.

It's been a long time since Jerax has left the team and was replaced by Saksa. And speaking of the team, they've just beaten Alliance for their first game.
Topson with a Leviathan mid and then Sumail played with a very flawless and impressive Clinkz while Ceb as the Legion Commander. All of them made a lot for the first game and the 2nd game is about to come.

[tomahawk9]

my winning streak in LoL Worlds came to an end after Peace and RC failed to get 5 drakes in their game  But at least LGD gave me a win x1.7 odds


i've got a few more lined up,,wish me luck


are you guys enojying TI so far?  

I think that I'll watch the OG versus Alliance.

i watched game 1 and OG looked too strong, what a performance from Sumail ...right now they're playing against TP and the latter are putting up a big fight, but still, Tobson's monkey king deleted everyone in that first game

Thats a pretty confident bet you had there. Meanwhile I made a silly parlay with some spare change with EG, IG, OG, VP, Elephant, PSG.LGD and Team Secret to win 2-0 for their first game lol.

did you win? i think you did, right?  155 odds!
