Dota 2 news.
Smart Omega that has been banned has been relieved and Valve lifted their ban but not the involved players. The organization has now terminated the contracts of those players that have played and involved into 322. So it's just 3 of them, 2 players and the coach.

Valve Lifts Ban for OMEGA Esports, But Not for Players

Serves them right yet this should be an eye opener for those who do tend on making  some match fixing.Its good that they do make out some reconsiderations that the entire team should suffer.

For sure there are some appeals and now its been proven out.This should be a lesson learned but actually its too late for those 2 players and that coach of Omega.

Matching fixing is never been a tolerated and an illegal act as always.

Eye opener indeed.

PUBG's take on the teams in the weekly survival
The rules this year are extremely unfavorable to top-tier teams; in fact, most of the teams that have won this week have been underdogs, which amazes me, and they have advanced to weekly finals, of which only a few are from the top-tier teams, with SQ remaining absent for weekly finals as per usual. With only a 5 games left  there is still hope that SQ will make it into the weekly finals as well. Looks like there's still Gen G and Pero around, which are both strong contenders.

There has been a lot of 322 that has happened and yet there are still some players that are not scared of the outright ban once found out. I thought that it's the entire team's roster but it tends out that there were a few of them that weren't involved in the match fixing/throwing.
Even if they appeal, I don't think that Valve will give the players a second chance, for an organization even if it's a TI finalist, they'll find it hard to give consideration. But as long as they know that the org is innocent and it's just the players that are involved, they'll for sure spare them.

I've updated the Calendar in the OP!

last update of the year to the esport calendar. There's still plenty of events this month including PUBG world championship and Valorant Champions Berlin which started yesterday

also, booked these two tickets earlier today so, wish me luck

^^ENCE vs Virtus Pro is at 10-12 so there you have one winner already and I think you are likely gonna have the second one as well.  I also today started of backing Vitality and Liquid in starting matches and made quite some profit today so a good IEM betting for me till now.  I am likely gonna go Faze to win against BIG (becoming quite anti-BIG slowly slowly) and am interested in going on Heroic to win against Godsent as well in the last two games.

There would be no exceptions when it comes to rules or terms for an organization or company to follow which do ensures fair gaming and its true about that 322 is somewhat do really still happens but they are much that confident about those second chances or considerations but they shouldnt really that
confident because everything that does its own limits which it might really be ending up on final decisions that they would
never be happy with.

Similar thinking from my side I just opted for handicaps on underdogs. I always feel more comfortable to play handicaps than under/over.

Have a feeling football will cost me tonight after perfect eSports day.

Did anyone catch the first day of Valorant Champions?

I just watched Team Secret vs. Gambit, underdogs vs. Berlin champions, and I didn't expect Team Secret to win 1-2. Because Team Secret is made of entirely of Filipinos, I really support them; yet, they were defeated in the match. Are there any Valorant Champions watcher among us? What are your predictions for who will advance from the group stage?

Crazy day in the intel extrem masters and is not the end 
NiP win strong Today they play realy good some rounds are so crazy, MOUZ lost it was so close to win.
Another great match BIG vs FaZe clan the whole mathc it looks that FaZe win butt in the last rounds BIG was amazing and they win.

^^ENCE vs Virtus Pro is at 10-12 so there you have one winner already and I think you are likely gonna have the second one as well.

it was a good day. 2/2

but, today, off to a bad start thanks to Heroic playing like crap and getting 2-0'd by FaZe clan (I had over 2.5). Olof absolutely dismantled the danes, pretty nice to see (not so nice for my ticket)

waiting for VP and Gambit to go to map3 so i can recover some coins *EDIT gambidiots

I believe the organization is innocent since it was owned by MVP which is known as the owner of big company here in the Philippines. I think valve will reconsider there decision once Omega E-sports change roster or atleast rebrand the organization name to erase the bad history of its previous player. I agree to valve when they imposed immediate punishment since this is E-sports and any team can do it since the match is online while players are young which is exposed on gambling activities.

Omega should stick to all Filipino roster so that they can assure the quality of there player.

oof!  well, "fuck Lazio!" am i right? 

i wasn't feeling the Dota games today (dodged a bullet, i was thinking +1.5 alliance but they're getting bullied in the league lol) so i went with 3 csgo tickets

recovered from that Gambit loss yesterday and i'm 6W-1L since IEM winter started
(in case anyone wants to follow my picks) i'll skip NIP - GODSENT tomorrow and just go moneyline Vitality against Gambit/fnatic if odds are good, otherwise, +2.5 maps

[hanspeter77]

BIG lost vs GODSENT and they out butt GODSENT is realy good this sesson.
NiP and GODSENT are in the quertel finals and Vitality and Fnatic or Gambit they play now live and eachr round win the other Team 
im think Gambit make it and go to the queartel finals.

[batang_bitcoin]

I've watched some Dota 2 match today and I think this is the debut of the new roster of Team Fnatic and as well as Team SMG.
Well, team SMG just went a full sweep against Team Fnatic. Moon, who once became part of Team Fnatic for a long time, won against his old team.

[ralle14]

I've got no pick for today but I just want to point out that Tundra -1.5 @1.70 looks pretty decent against a struggling Nigma Galaxy team that's still missing their key mid laner which is Miracle, this match is scheduled a few days from now.

Also it's nice to see G2 come out on top against Vitality, even without their IGL they're still pushing things even further.

[hanspeter77]

Ok that wha tim predict in the intel extrem masters Gambit win and play vs vitality today in the queartel finals im think Gambit go intro the finals.
Ninjas in Pyjamas vs GODSENT here im think GODSENT will win this match today an go to the finals and play with Gambit for the first place.

I watched Nigma Galaxy the other day and they were really bad so I like your pick, will probably take it when the day comes.

Just took Virtus Pro -1.5, a bit risky since they did not play for long time but since we had so many 2:0 results lately I have started to take this option more often.

I took VP to win -1.5 as well, small bet to risk for VP. Pure speculation for this one because the odds are good enough lol. That @1.70 for Tundra -1.5 is totally decent though

Edit : VP turned out to be a bad choice huh

Anyway Nigma Played like a 3rd tier team without Miracle lol, they literally had no clue what they are doing on the first game. Miracle literally carried the whole team with his gameplay. I had a ticket that had Nigma to win 2-0 that I placed before knowing Miracle wont play in this game dang but seriously 0-2 for Nigma feels pretty sick

There's a popular player that has been spared and started this meme, solo. But as the new 322 comes, there are harder rules for them because it shouldn't really be done by these players.
They're good with the little amount they'll earn with their bets and it's the replacement of a good and probably a lot of years in any organization while playing the game.
