i'm surprised no one's talking about the big game today IG - Team Secret...early game seems to be going on Secret's favor with an average of 1 kill per minute (19 kills in 19min), Puppey's Enchantress and Nisha's TA are wrecking wrecking havoc, this could snowball out of control cos Mantu¿s Monkey king keeps destroying IG

i've got Over 2.5 maps x1.9 here, hopefully Team Secret won't go 2-0 again...were they saving strats for the Main Event or what? looking too dominant atm  

Locked in my parlay for T1 and EG @2.06

poor EG. Two of my favorite teams got eliminated today, EG and Alliance

As far as I know, I think all NA teams have been eliminated in the International now? The problem with EG stems from their team fights and decision-making. I mean, Arteezy is definitely a gifted player as he can farm well and be at the top of the net worth. But when it comes to team fights, sometimes I slightly question his decisions on being too aggressive.

In addition, Abed is a skilled and talented player which can use a variety of heroes in his pool. Limiting his choices to only three (3) heroes in the game vs VG is like limiting his overall talents.

Same bet for me but I am afraid Secret will 2:0 this one. They managed to get enchantress and TA once again after stomp in game one. I just hope IG leaned their lesson and they will adapt better in second map. Really thought this one will go the distance before it started.

PSG.LGD big favorites in the evening game but odds are bad. I am thinking of taking Virtus.pro +1.5 @1.75.

He still provided a lot of impact in game 3, but i agree his pool today wasn't the best, regardless, the rest of the team got outplayed so hard,, not much you can do once Spectre and Lycan go unchecked in late game

Same bet for me but I am afraid Secret will 2:0 this one.

Painful

Second time in a row they screw me over. I'll stay away from Secret now. They'll probably go on and win the whole thing without dropping a single game 

[hanspeter77]

Today is a cool match Fnatic vs Copenhagen Flames the funny things is Flames had a better chance to win 
Fnatic is since jears in the top 25 team im dont understand why Flames have better quetes. 
Tomorrow in the blast Premier Fall Showdown Evil Geniuses vs Mad Lions  i would say a draft but thats not possible ^^
Heroic vs Team Dignitas for sure win Heroic with no problems.
ComPlexity vs OG here the same im say OG win easy.

Any good market suggestion for this last one coming up in couple of minutes- PSG vs Virtus Pro? PSG seems to be kinda dominant throughout so far and seem likes they are gonna take this one easily as well. Taking PSG is not of much value so any suggestions? Plan is to gonna go low on this one.

Actually IG had them at one point in second round but after that what a recovery they made. so many less mistakes and IG were totally clueless. Really too much dominant.

I'm watching live right now and would bet on PSG. They have chosen strong heroes in the 1^st map:

Faith_bian -       TIDEHUNTER
Ame -                LUNA
NothingToSay-    KUNKKA
y -                     VISAGE
XinQ -                 DOWNBREAKER

1^st map: 15 min. PSG.LGD is leading.

1^st map is over: PSG.LGD is a winner. The overall score in match so far - PSG.LGD vs Virtus Pro 1:0. Two maps have left but  I think LGD will win again and next they will fight against Secret.

Going to bed and will check   my prediction tomorrow.

Did anyone saw 100 thieves vs SKT T1 match of League of legends worlds?

Didn't check the betting odds of the match but it was easy to predict the match, there was no chance 100 thieves beating SKT.

Odds are in favor of T1 I remember the live odds are hovering around 1.2 to 1.3 after the drafting phase. I only caught the first few mins of the match then stopped watching after the first blood gank on the bot.

Locked in my parlay for T1 and EG @2.06, T1 -1.5 should've been my initial bet but unfortunately stake isn't offering any handicaps for the match. Very confident on T1 to win the match and even sweep the series since they have the better individual players. Same goes for EG even though they struggled quite a bit in the groups, I doubt they'll do the same mistake throughout the playoffs and the h2h favors EG as they took down VG during the animajor.

I think T1 will reach finals in this Worlds.
And tomorrow only 4 teams will compete with each other.
- Cloud 9
- DWG ( 2020 Worlds winners)
- RGE
- FPX

I'd say DWG will will all their matches but I haven't checked the betting odds of those games.

VP is good but not really enough to beat up LGD..I have betting on this team since the start of thiS TI and did make out some good profits even though odds arent really that high but at least its sustainable.

on tommorows match which T1 VS EG  then i would go for EG but t1 isnt bad either of a choice but not would really be as strong as EG but lets see.
Im also looking or keeping my eye for SECRET.

Considering that PSG.LGD is the heavy favourites to win the TI then I guess its not really a surprise anymore if they beat VP up.

on tommorows match which T1 VS EG  then i would go for EG but t1 isnt bad either of a choice but not would really be as strong as EG but lets see.

I guess you didnt watch game 3 huh, Vici Gaming won game 3 and EG has been eliminated. It will be T1 against Vici Gaming tomorrow and for the record, T1 won 2-0 against VP in the group stage while Vici Gaming lost to VP in the upper bracket so yeah I guess T1 has higher chances to win tomorrow but the odds on sportsbet is kinda even

Anyway taking over 2.5 maps for T1 vs Vici Gaming tomorrow as well as OG -1.5. Pretty confident that it will be 2-0 for OG

Dang..

When the game was already on 1-1 on VG vs EG then i havent seen the third game honestly and i had checked out https://liquipedia.net/dota2/The_International/2021
but they did show 2-1 which is EG was the winner but now its already corrected or i had just seen the wrong one.So i presumed that they had advanced on next game which is neither against with t1 or alliance.

Well thats a mistake.. thanks for clarifying out.

About OG vs TS then no doubt i would hands down for OG.

[Trofo]

Not so good day yesterday for me, favourites were much more convincing than I expected.

I am on OG ml today which seems almost like free money to me.
2:0 is probably ok as well, but a little too risky for me. I am thinking Vici will win the other game 2:1, so taking them as well. Chinese DOTA looks strongest at the moment.

[ralle14]

Same here took a beating on EG and IG.

Taking my chances on Damwon to win @1.65 vs FunPlus Phoenix, Damwon looked solid on their last meeting and I doubt FunPlus Phoenix will bounce back as they looked a bit underwhelming. I'm tempted to put a bet on T1 vs VG but I feel like it's anyone's series after that reverse sweep from VG.

[sunsilk]

Sad ending. Team Spirit took down OG for two games straight with an "ez game" all chat by torontotokyo. 

There's no more 3-peat hopeful for this TI10. Team Spirit's performance is awesome and they're the dark horse of this tournament. Let's see if they'll take down Virtus.Pro after T1 and VG's game.

I think in terms of mental state, VP is on the state because TS' just came from 2 straight games although they have a few hours of rest.

[tomahawk9]

bookies making bank thanks to Team Spirit upset today...what was the moneyline for Spirit? anyone knows?

btw, why didn't OG ban Magnus or WW in game 2? they destroyed them in game 1 so surely you gotta ban one of them, no? and TORONTO's ez game in chat, heh! that's gonna become a new meme for sure  

VP - Team Spirit in a few hours gonna be a good match. Over 2.5 maps sounds good, both CIS teams know each other very well

Anyway taking over 2.5 maps for T1 vs Vici Gaming tomorrow

same but in a single

I capitalized on that. I put a small stake on Spirit to win against OG at 2.65x odds . I was kinda surprised with how much dominant they were against the former champions but seriously they really played a dominant game.



Have my money on T1 to win against Vici now.  

[Trofo]

I guess OG thought that they can handle Magnus in second game. Really did not expect them to lose 2:0, this is for me the biggest surprise of the tournament.

Vici getting destroyed on map 1.

Vici getting destroyed on map 1.

I couldn't watch the game as i was at work and i am also totally surprised that OG lost that clearly to Team Spirit i always thought that OG might pull out some miracle group fighting performances again like they did in TI 8 and TI 9 but this time they where just to far away of the top teams in terms of performance and they don't have the same players anymore of course. I expected OG to reach the Grand Final through the lower bracket and to face PSG.LGD there but well that will not happen anymore.

T1 looked very strong in game 1 against Vici, but Vici managed to come back from a 0-1 against EG yesterday, so everything is still possible.

[sunsilk]

It's still really different having the actual original OG roster that they've taken two aegis. The roster that they have currently is strong but the chemistry of the past roster with Ana and Jerax is still dominant and truly different.

But GG to them and to Team Spirit, as Team Spirit gets on their next match against VP. They've taken the game 1.

Vici getting destroyed on map 1.

Still, they've beaten T1 to 2-1, they're advancing against to their co-Chinese team IG.

Well, like I have  figured after the 1^st map PSG.LGD has won. Yeah, I know they are the powerful team and favorite of International 10 but VP could have a chance if they relied not solely on drafting but also on teamwork. Each individual player in VP is very skilled in DOTA but the lack of teamwork played tricks with them. This was particularly evident when they played the  second map (I was watching that part of the game today). TL;DR  The good coach for Virtus Pro  is much-needed .
