DPC WEU is back: Liquid - Tickles, Team Secret - Tundra

Tickles are off to a good start with a 2-0 record, i'd wait for drafts before taking +1.5 handicap x1.7 which looks like decent value. As for the other game, you don't see Team Secret to win x2 odds very often, but getting 2-0'd by new OG speaks volume about current Secret
Regardless, my pick


we also have IEM Winter today. I've got Vitality to win, and i'll skip the other game because NIP will play with a stand-in so it'll probably be a fast 32-0 for G2

This is my first time to here team tickles since most of the team participating in early DPC tournaments are fresh team. If I may ask, What team they are able to take down for that 2-0 record? I have no comment about Team Liquid, Secret and Tundra since they are pretty solid since before. I just want to know if I'm missing out something like new super team form again for this upcoming TI.

They beat Nigma Galaxy in a convincing fashion but that's because Miracle isn't playing and Nigma Galaxy was forced to play with their coach as a substitute mid laner and the other team they took down is Cool Guys their previous team was Level Up I don't have much info on them since I barely followed the lower division but i'd put them in the same level as Alliance atm.

I'm also betting on the same series but i'll go with Tundra@1.76, i'm still not convinced on Team Secret since Alliance is just handing out the easiest free wins to every team they face as they're not on the same level as they used to be.

So far seems like Vitality are doing well against Virtus Pro and about to win the first map but VP also played out surprise when they beat Gambit in the same tournament a week ago so still could go any way. As for NIP's game, thanks for the news as I didn't knew that NIP will play phzy for sick dev1ce so yeah likely that G2 will find this one easy.

you remember Vikin.gg? well, that team disbanded and then the players formed Tickles.  IMO they are a decent tier 2 team, nothing more, i doubt we'll hear more from them in tier 1 dota but you never know

anyway, Tundra getting stomped right now,, RIP my +2.5 maps?

easy for Vita

and, yeah, really unfortunate that Device will miss such an important game...phzy seems to be a good player in Young Ninjas, but this should be a walk in the park for G2 honestly

[Avirunes]

easy for Vita

Great !!  I thought VP might put a fight back in second map but misutaaa was very good today. VP were close but Vitality did a good work shutting down VP in both maps and now they advance to IEM Winter Final.

and, yeah, really unfortunate that Device will miss such an important game...phzy seems to be a good player in Young Ninjas, but this should be a walk in the park for G2 honestly

6-0 up in first map already so G2 have already made up the mind to give NIP no chance and advance to final as quickly as possible. Guess it won't G2 much time or pressure in this semi final.

[Trofo]

and, yeah, really unfortunate that Device will miss such an important game...phzy seems to be a good player in Young Ninjas, but this should be a walk in the park for G2 honestly

Good thing I read the news after placing my bets. This way I ended with NIP +1.5 before the match which already passed and than I placed another bet on G2 @1.8 after they lost that first map and I read your post. I was feeling stupid though in time between reading your post and NIP winning that first map

Now time for G2 to get their shit together and start winning some rounds.

Yes, Device is not in the squad in the G2-NIP match, as you said, he plays phzy instead because he is sick. Despite that, it plays nicely against NIP-G2. They made a great comeback on the Nuke map, beating the G2 team 19-16 in overtime. G2 won the Dust2 map 16-10 and tied the score. Currently, the last match is played on the inferno map and there is a head-to-head fight here. Scores are very even. NIP won the first half 8-7. You know, Inferno is the CT map, so the half that matters is now for NIP, let's see if they can succeed ?

They're former Vikin.gg as said by tomahawk so they're not really a fresh team, the team name only is. And they've earned their spot for this DPC season, and as of week 2, they're doing good.

If I may ask, What team they are able to take down for that 2-0 record? I have no comment about Team Liquid, Secret and Tundra since they are pretty solid since before. I just want to know if I'm missing out something like new super team form again for this upcoming TI.

They've won against Nigma.Galaxy 2-0. You can view all the games for all the regions of DPC including the standings on liquipedia.

I'll take Bad News Bears to win vs Team one then Pain to beat Salt as they have previously beaten the Bears.  The interest thing about Pain and Salt is both are on a long winning match streak and now its a head on clash who breaks their flawless record so should be a good match to watch.   Pain is the underdog in theory but they are close enough so that 3 maps should occur.

fast 32-0 for G2

lol Device is important but its the team play that is disrupted or not, obviously a new player would seem to be weakness.   Post match scoreboard

4.3x odds for Nip to beat Vitality

It is some new changes with the teams current the team nigma change their team name and now during the DPC miracle is now taking a break too its too hard to them to change with rmn also with the new line up of the team secret its might hard to play against with the best offlane which is iceiceice and the king of the mid which is sumail i didn't expect that they will remove zai one of the best offlaner of the team secret since then. Dont forget the new line up of team OG they are now conquering the game of the and they beat team secret with 2-0 standing.

what a shitshow that was for G2. NIP +1.5 was really good value if you had some faith in the new guy as stand-in, but i went with safer picks and both hit. Poor NiKo, G2 really needs some changes in the roster

4.3x odds for Nip to beat Vitality   

good odds, but i'm biased and i wanna see Zywoo winning a big tourney to end the year on a high note. Plus what i saw from misutaa and shox yesterday was superb. Hampus and Rez also performed pretty well against G2 and they have the momentum in their favor as as they were the underdog yesterday, wouldn't be surprised if they somehow manage to win one of their picks today (Nuke most likely since Vita could be rusty after not playing this map in a while)

let's see how this goes

It was a good score prediction for the final match. Vitaliy will undoubtedly win. NIP will win one of the inferno or nuke maps, your guess may hold and it will end with a close score, I hope you win. I stayed away from betting on this match. I'll wait for the BLAST Premier World final 2021 to bet. By the way, I feel sorry for NIKO you said, great misfortune, there is a need for someone else to carry the team with him.

Vitality has been very consistent though I didn't expect that NIP would lose that way. It seems like NIKO is losing hope this time but I hope that they would have a positive outlook on the next fight. Vitality is really pushing hard to win over them but they also have to be more competitive.

As expected by many. Team Secret is still on adjustment while Tundra is pretty solid because they are playing with complete and solid line up. Sumail hero on Team Secret is not his typical hero that's why they are crumbling to take a series or even a game. There sudden changes on important role backfire to them. Sumail and Ice3x is a very good player individually but they both have different attitude especially when it comes to team work.

Sumail might early leave again the team once he saw no potential on making it.

[hanspeter77]

Oh yes cant wait tomorrow start the finals in the Blast Premier my favorite Gambit or Vitality
Natus Vincere vs Team Liquid the first match it gone be hard for Liquid butt they can win.
Gambit vs Heroic Heroic is a realy strong enemy butt this jear is Gambit jear they have a run this jear.
G2 Esports vs Ninjas in Pyjamas im think Ninjas will win.

[STT]

I dont rate Liquid's chances especially, I'm a sporting man I'll go for 3 maps at 3x odds thats not so unfair in its chances but the whole series is really as unlikely as the odds reflect.   Navi just won the major without losing a map, thats pretty clear in their dominant effect.   Heroic is more of a decent bet but again I prefer 3 maps, neither of these underdog teams would win without requiring all maps played anyhow.

[ralle14]

The Dotapit tournament is tempting but i'll stick with the lower division since I really like Brame -1.5 @2.10 against Chillax, after they took down Entity in the opening match they're making it work as they continue to find some good form. With that said, i'm looking forward to a 2-0 sweep from Brame since Chillax couldn't adjust against Chicken Fighters and I think Brame is on that same level as well.

Agree on this, Lower division is kinda easy to predict especially if the team playing is already played against top team while the underdog team is just new and only played on lower tier tournament. Brame is a strong team in EU. They can easily dominate the lower division easily but a -1.5 pick is a big gamble since sometimes Brame is giving away 1 match for the series before they dominate the enemy. Good luck with that bet.

I think betting on OG vs Navi is more safe especially that we know is OG always lose on game 2 since they always experimenting new hero.

they keep experimenting, lose a game, and then they come back to win the series. it happened in the DPC and now in Dota PIT against Navi...i don't know how they keep getting away with it 

anyhow, Team Spirit - Tundra is live. i've got the TI champions to win at 1.6 odds. Also, +2.5 maps Secret - Liquid...not 100% convinced about the last one cos Liquid are playing really good in DPC (they're 3-0 so far), but we'll see
