The problem is not the OG. Team Spirit is just too strong for them to handle. [...]

stream analysts said it themselves, that at times TS are looking even better than in the TI    Big test next weekend against Team Secret. i wanna see the odds in the bookmakers, prolly 60/40 Spirit?

I bet analyst saw how TorontoTokyo manage to easily recover his behind gold even though BZM is already have a core item to gank all TS support. TS is playing much better than there TI performance. I believe being a champ gives them confidence and pride to play easily while in pressure.

I believe the odds for TS vs Secret is a bit greater than that. OG defeat one sidedly Secret while TS defeat OG in a convincing manner. I believe 70/30 in favor of TS.  Secret is still not showing a good performance on this tournament.

Yatoro Slardar is very strong!

In the early game of that match, OG was on the lead but I think the turnaround was when OG forced Team Spirit on the top 2nd tower, where the other dead players of Team Spirit did buyback.

And by doing that, I think they did the right thing and managed to turn the favor to them. The tp that TORONTOTOKYO did was on point and exactly landed on tinker. After landing he already got the BKB and it's really on time, very well played they've made on that last match. Then mistake after mistake was done by OG.

NaVi vs G2 1st map was really entertaining. NaVi had a very good lead but G2 made signs of comeback with Niko rising like a beast in the map- Nuke in which NaVi is currently at best. Niko was the best in the server and he had 35 kills and the only one lifting G2 massively but unfortunately that wasn't enough to put map1 on the board for G2. Second map - Inferno is G2's pick and I am thinking maybe taking G2 with the profit I made on Navi to win 1st.

Not just that they're good at that map, they have also a good budgeting of their economy so they were able to buy the necessary utility when they need them and I feel bad that it wasn't enough for them to get the win. Nuke has some good spots and NaVi was able to make sure to secure the win.

I couldn't watch the first played nuke map. But my favorite on this map is always the undisputed Navi. I watched the entire map of Inferno and part of the Mirage map. Inferno map was really competitive, the score was always very close. Even though G2 came a little behind, they managed to take the game to overtime and won in overtime. HuNter did a great job in the final rounds and overtime. On the Mirage map, s1mple made 30-10kd, and when I watched the beginning of the match, I understood that he would do this, he started the match very well and they already won 16-4.

Also, the upper bracket final match will be played tomorrow between Gambit and Vitality. Even though I'm a little closer for Vitality, I can't say it's a favorite for either team. For this match as it would be better for me to go to the top 2.5.

Starting the day off with Boom -1.5 @1.81 vs Motivate.Trust, last time these two met was during the Mineski Masters and during the grand finals Boom pulled off a reverse sweep win.

Now that they're in solid form I think Boom is somewhat close to T1's level at the moment.

Also i'm liking the over 2.5 on Gambit vs Vitality but I might go with Vitality since Stake is currently offering an insurance promo on whoever wins the first map.

Niko was the best in the server [...]

G2 were eliminated but NiKo was the MVP of the series imo (despite s1mple farming kills on mirage)...says a lot about both teams, Navi looking super shaky lately and G2 being a one man army. Not sure if  m0NESY (new G2 player) is gonna fix all the issues they have, it's a big gamble

anyhow, gonna play just a multi x2 today

Vitality x1.77 odds were good enough for a single but they got slashed overnight and it's currently 1.6x...i might go 2-1 Vitality or +2.5 like @ralle14 said...gambit are really good on vertigo but i think Ovp could be a good option for them

Sounds like a nice ticket, I am thinking even Secret -1.5 should pass probably. ML is too low for me so I'll go with that one. At least eSports are more secure to actually proceed with a match at the moment. Just placed a bet on Aston Villa and 5 minutes later game is postponed Tough times if you are using free bets.

Yeah, Niko is such a legend. Even in Faze he was the one performing for them most of the times. Its sad to see him get nothing in 2021. Last he won was IEM New York 2020 (Europe) with FaZe, with G2 his trophy cabinet has been blank. I do hope he gets something in next year or maybe switches to a better team and get some success there.

Gonna go with Gambit winner today and just enjoy the match. It will be some quite entertaining match between the two in the upper bracket finals about to go down in less than half an hour.

Tough one, Nigma ended up winning with 2-0. I want them to win but honestly I didnt really expect that to happen especially after Secret won against Nigma 2-0 two days ago. It seems Miracle is back up right now to his top notch performance right now, I cant believe that this is the same player that got trashed by Tundra two times in midlane yesterday

I lost mine as well lol, ended up going for over 2.5 maps as usual

[hanspeter77]

What im say    Gambit win stron 2:0 and go intro the finals they are so good this seasson.
Now live Team Liquid ns Natus Vincere first map on dust2 win Natus now the second map on Inferno 6:3 for Navi butt Liquid can win.

[STT]

Liquid did well to get that many rounds but still just the 2 maps.   Spirit took a map from Navi if i remember right

3 maps reasonable bets for both Vitality vs Navi and very likely Gambit vs Navi.  Navi the favorite by far for both, probably not the best odds hence I try the 3 maps route

[Trofo]

Lots of good DOTA today, here are my predictions:
NAVI -1.5, time for them 2:0 someone and who better then Team Unique
Puckchamp +1.5, they are in great form and I belive they can even win against Virtus.Pro
Tundra - OG, over 2.5, We had lots of 2:0 results in this tournament but this game has over written all over it, hope it comes

[ralle14]

Puckchamp +1.5, they are in great form and I belive they can even win against Virtus.Pro

Also liking their map handicap as VP doesn't look that great after their first three games, losing to HR and dropping a map against Gambit while PuckChamp took down Navi and Gambit 2-0.

Honestly, their odds should be close to 50-50 but I guess the bookies still have high expectations on the VP squad to deliver.

On the lower division match i'll continue betting against B8 and go for Nemiga -1.5 @1.50 I don't know how B8 will improve but they're on their way to elimination and lose to every single team.

[tomahawk9]

NAVI -1.5, time for them 2:0 someone and who better then Team Unique
Puckchamp +1.5, they are in great form and I belive they can even win against Virtus.Pro

I'll add Navi ml to a multi + Puckchamp hc to another multi


main tickets


let's see if Kyojin can step up his game today, the kid had a really, really bad game on vtg yesterday, but he went online in D2
and i agree that Tundra - OG looks like game it's gonna be a really close game, but i like what i'm seeing from the new OG roster lately

After Miracle- taking a break i guess they are now again he is already unranked for past few days and only MC is now trying hard to play an offlane properly. Still team nigma can kick out team secret i guess its better to have miracle than rmn- also they added their team which is the nigma galaxy sea its a good sign that kuroky management is now having a good time. Cant wait to see the match of Nigma and the new OG players.

I believe Nigma with miracle already fought new OG last time and its miracle first game during his comeback. Nigma is still struggling during there previous matches they are always sweep by there opponent, OG and Tundra. I believe they have a chance to beat Secret since they are both struggling on there current roster. I'm still believing on Nigma because they have a solid roster. Miracle just need to calibrate his game to brings back his old game style.

CIS teams in Blast Premier World Final 2021 (Final). Navi defeated Vitality just an hour ago to advance into Grand Finale against Gambit. Navi looked today very sharp against Vitality and they shut them completely down in both maps. With Gambit having slight difficulty yesterday holding down Vitality but eventually they made it but it sure wasn't their best performance, I think Navi should be the one lifting this trophy today.

[hanspeter77]

  Natus Vincere win an play now live in the grand final vs Gambit on the first map nuke Vitality play not bad at this time its possible that they win i have think it.
butt second map dust2 Natus was so strong win the most rounds.
Now live Gambit vs Natus first 3 rounds win Gambit, its gone be hard for Natus to win im dident think that Gambit lost.

[tomahawk9]

what a weekend,, 6 tickets lost and maybe 1 hits but only if Secret manages to win a game vs. team spirit

all the teams that were in good form somehow shit the bed

i don't feel so good 🤢
