[STT]

Navi very nearly lost this series in 2 maps, they were slipping on ancient and the live odds for their win went over 2.  I placed a crafty bet and amazingly they still had the round advantage just their ct game was not the best, they tightened it up became more cautious to being sniped post plant and managed to just about coast to end the map.   Ancient was not their pick but they had lost their own map, Mirage no doubt Gambit have been studying demos.    Inferno is enough in favor for Navi to take this but its gone to 90% for Navi so I cashed out and put a tiny counter bet back onto Gambit as I cant stay till map end.    As always Im learning and its a reasonable gamble at over 6x and I've won overall so why not for the interest.   Its not half time yet so its reasonable to consider the flip side of a map might turn the result still.

Anyway apart from this last battle of the titans I was wrong on the 3 maps idea, prior games ended swiftly without as much of a clash so seems the final is the best game of the day

Tempting to take Team Secret against Tundra as I see some value in them as the underdog but i'm not too confident after they lost against Nigma Galaxy so i'll just watch from the sidelines for now and wait for the grand finals since it's also scheduled today after the lower bracket finals. For my main pick I got Army Geniuses +1.5 @1.84 they're currently 1-3 in the standings but can still pack a punch against Nigma Galaxy SEA as they went 1-1 last time they've meet and even though Nigma Galaxy SEA have a 3-0 record. they dropped a couple of maps against weaker teams.

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 🤢

Team Secret indeed win a game against Team Spirit. I thought they will be sweep knowing how strong team spirit right now. I think your +1.5 bet for them won. 

Either on Tindra or Team Secret win. Its still a rematch for Team Secret. The EU is now dominated by Team Spirit compared last time that they are only underdog.

I am seeing this one as over 2.5 maps and I just placed a bet on it. Both Secret and Tundra are good teams and I sort of expect draft advantage to translate to one map each. Should be good series for sure and winner of this should be able to take at least map from Spirt but in the end Spirit should take this. They are currently in the best form and have this patch understood to the last detail.

because of my crappy record during the weekend i skipped this game (will wait for the final, i'll probably back TS)
man, Tundra had a 18k gold lead, didn't lose a single tower and were knocking down Secret's tier 3 towers all of that in just 25 minutes...WTF painful to watch

Really ended up quickly in favor of Tundra. Secret was totally off point today, bad drafts without any chance for IceIceIce to have any impact on the game and even their execution was not as per their usual standard.

Ah well, my bet went down the drain, will try to recover some loses on the final. Feel like Team Spirit should have this one. Even got odds @1.5 which sounds good to me.

There is a huge report incoming that dev1ce who made mega move from Astralis to NIP is eyeing out for return to Astralis back again : https://www.hltv.org/news/33001/device-looking-to-return-to-astralis-report . I wonder what is making him move back again? It's not like he is kinda flop there or maybe its some kinda help again to his old team with their performance and retain back their position. Still it wouldn't be same as Magisk and dupreeh has already left the team so not sure its gonna be same legendary Astralis show.

LOL Natus vincere win the grand final, i have think Gambit win butt it was not easy.
First map on mirage it looks good for Gambit they strugle a bit in some situations, Second map on Ancient Navi show what they can.
Last map on Inferno i was a bit sad Gambitwas not good and they lost strong.

Lol I am a huge fan of PUBG and i missed their grand finals because of the super typhoon hits our country. Now i cant barely watch videos or highlights in PGC grandfinals but NH got the winner winner chicken dinner , i dont know how but they manage to get 4 chicken dinners i want to watch the replay soon if my internet is okay. No comments as of the moment but Yes! SEA are dominating the PUBG which i am proud since before European team always won.

Congratulations to Team Tundra. Sadly, this isn't a DPC tournament that they've won. Well, for the DPC season, next games would be by the first week of January.
There's not that much action from these top teams until next year. But anyway, still a good game for Tundra and Team Spirit. Although Team Spirit, still has a better position as they're part of EEU DPC Division 1.

That series was so momentum based it all started well for Team Spirit in the first game then in the second game they're starting to snowball a bit then made one too many mistakes and Tundra capitalized on it.

Looking forward on the EU derby between Team Liquid and Team Secret, I like how the bookies are giving a lot of respect on the side of Team Liquid but I can't resist Team Secret's odds @1.84 and with their current record I think they'll be needing this win in order to take one of the three major spots.

[hanspeter77]

after a crazy Intel Extrem master series start tomorrow the ESEA Season 39: Main Division - North America with a pot of 10,00 dollar
dont care youre shit vs OCEAN lovers Anime im think youre shit will win they are the better team.
Rectify Esports vs Stanleys Harem here im not sure think Stanleys will win.

DPC tournaments are on a 2-week break and the next CSGO tournament is scheduled to start in February. Good thing we have some League action as the VCS playoffs starts today. The first seed Cerberus Esports is set to face the third seed Luxury Esports, head to head this season is 2-0 on the side of Cerberus but in terms of map count it's 4-1. Cerberus looks unbeatable but I think Luxury Esports will get at least a map here so i'm taking the over 3.5 maps @1.70. Another good alternative would be the -1.5 handicap on the side of Cerberus but the odds already shifted too much.

[hanspeter77]

Tomorrow is the back to back event in CS:GO
Ambush esports vs Fade Gaming im think Ambush will win they have more experiense.
Coalesce vs REZIST when REZIST are in good form they can win butt its not easy Coalesce is new butt they have good player in the team.

Just too bad that tournament doesn't have a DPC point. But I guess Tundra will manage to have it for the next tournaments that they're going to join. They've got a long contract and they know their goal is to be with all of the upcoming TIs.

Odds really are encouraging but Team Liquid took the game.

PUBG Esports roadmap for next year, with the hope that AAP will qualify for these prestigious competitions. As usual, AAP will dominate APAC in SEA, but let's see if there are any new teams that will dominate AAP. Next year will be jam-packed with PUGB games, so for the time being, let's relax and look forward to the next competitions. Teams will be training and preparing for their best performance. Good luck to all teams, and let's see who wins in PGC in the fourth quarter next year!

[ralle14]

The over hits yesterday and it was frustrating to see Luxury Esports always get a slight lead then throw it away two games in a row before getting their first win in the third.

We have another VCS match today and still leaning on the favorites as there's a huge gap between these two teams and taking -1.5 GAM as they look more stable and the only team that could take them down is probably Cerberus.

Odds really are encouraging but Team Liquid took the game.

Yup, they deserved that win as well since Team Secret took too long to seal the win in game 3 and their lineup didn't scale too well in the later stages of the game.

Yeah. It's an impression to me that since the addition of Sumail and iceiceice, they're looking not really that strong. Well, that's just for me and impression.
But I know, that this team is one of the strongest. No more games left to them for the DPC and I think that they're already in for the next round.

For me it's the opposite, I still think Team Secret is good but they're just having issues adapting to the current meta as most of the mid heroes are starting to become the new position 1s and the safe lane is starting to shift to that new position 2.

They still have 2 games left on the DPC it's just that Dreamhack hasn't posted any schedules at the moment. For Team Liquid they're definitely qualified but for Team Secret they'll need to win those last two games to contest the fourth slot.
