quick rundown on who they are and why they're called like this? lol

I think they named their team like that is because most of them (Ramzes, 9pasha, Rodjer, Fng) weren't picked up by any of the big orgs like VP, Navi or Gambit. On the bright side, they're still getting a lot of success and on their way to qualifying the first division.

After i read Ramzes and Fng were in this team i had to look them up, pretty good roster ngl... they finished 8-0 in the group stage of CL,, not bad

They are playing later today against Coolguys which should be an easy win in my opinion. I have CIS Rejects -1.5 @1.77. Finally managed to convert one of my insurance free bets. I must say Ehome 1. map was a real beauty but they should have lost it so I count myself a bit lucky to land this one. Other games were easy peasy

Also just saw this in my email, nice to see bitsler hosting a small Dota tournament.

any links with more info?

and you were right about FPX taking a map. Lwx dominated that game 1, some demacia cup vibes right there.  my RNG hype just took a nosedive :/   they went for the early game action with the drafts and still got destroyed *edit  remind me to never fall for hype again, ffs! at least i managed to recover some thx to rng taking 2nd map

They're focused in South American teams/players for this tournament. But this isn't the first time that I've seen a casino sponsored tournament.
But sadly, this tournament was already done and it's quite to see this tournament happen since it's the different region that they have been targeting as the market and participants.

A tier 3 tournament with $15,000 prizepool. Bitsler could easily sponsor a tournament with 1btc prizepool, not sure why they didnt do that yet to get better exposure for their site

Well atleast they managed to get few top SA teams that currently play in DPC SA division 1, thats kinda decent because I thought it would be filled with whatever random SA team because the prizepool is kinda small

I don't think it's already done, it was mentioned in the email that the Grand finals will be held on January 30.

I'm more surprised at how FPX handled the series so well even in their loss during the second game even though RNG was controlling everything it felt like all it takes is one good engagement to turn things around.

Thanks, guys, I thought the finals is done. I've checked the link and checked both Peru and Brazil servers and the brackets there. It says finished and there were teams already done at the finals. It's probably going to be the finals against the winners for both servers, is that right?

Yeah, I saw gorillas pride and that's one decent team IMO that I usually see always with the bracket together with beastcoast.

Team Spirit Academy vs Eternal Fire Academy im think Spirit will win this they are mutch better than spirit.

Liking the handicap on T1 -1.5 @2.04 vs Kwangdong Freecs (Afreeca rename) I feel like T1 isn't given that much respect but this is a good chance to take them at slightly better odds as I don't think they'll underperform given the performance they put out last year. Freecs on the other hand picked up a couple of players from the side of T1 like Teddy and Ellim their roster seems decent but it's a tough task to take down a solid T1 squad that's gaining a lot of success.

yeah, prizepool is small, but the teams should be fine, they probably enjoy having more competitive games to prep for the big tournaments. But it's pretty nice to see a sportsbook you're familiar with getting involved in esports    although i barely use bitsler lol

good value,, i was tempted but i lost all confident to place more tickets after losing a few in a row, there's just been some wild results : TES getting and DRX getting 2-0'd by weaker teams, RNG losing to FPX, LGD Gaming also losing in their debut, even in Dota...i think i'm gonna wait for the LEC, give the LCK and LPL teams some time to "stabilize"

I'm out of shape on Dota right now as I barely watch tier 2 and 3 teams as I barely have find during the nights but didn't we suppose to get a new hero after TI ? Or were false rumors ? Because as far as I know , 2 years in a row , we had 2 new heroes in Dota.

Overall , is good to see that T1 is back on shape after defeat from 2 days ago.

Well the new hero was Marci and it was launched a bit after TI. It was pretty OP and nerfed until its quite balanced right now

Anyway speaking of tier 2 and tier 3, we might get alot more tier 2 and 3 tournaments in the near future because the Winter Major is officially cancelled due to flight restriction because of covid. This enraged some players as their teams are currently on the top DPC spots to secure position for the Major, Sumail even tweeted that all players and teams should band together then stop joining the 2nd DPC

I'm also eyeing TES initially but avoided them due to their handicap at 1.60, didn't see that loss coming as well.

Unfortunate news on the first major, meanwhile tournament organizers on the side of CSGO are successful with their LAN tournaments(IEM, Blast Premier).  

Just when new teams were close to qualifying the major then that happens, at least we're going to see a bunch of new upcoming teams get promoted to division 1.

I'm not well informed on DPC points system worth but is tier 2 and 3 tournaments has a DPC points if they win? I thought only specific DPC tournaments has the points they can accumulate and most of the lower tier team has just for prize money alone. Anyway most of team participating on lower tier is coming from unknown background so the odds on most match in there has always very one-sided so its very boring to make a bet tih them unlike tier 1 tournaments.

Tier 3 doesn't have points but tier 2 has and that's Division 1 of the DPC, division 2 doesn't have too and that's a tier 3 tournament and just a stepping stone for the div 2 teams to go up to div 1. Aside from those tournaments, the minor and major tournaments have the DPC points. But sadly, we're not going to have any major this time, Valve has canceled the upcoming major.
News: Valve cancels Dota 2 Winter Major and pisses off pretty much every pro in the scene

[hanspeter77]

3 matche sin the HLTV Top 20 Players of 2021

sh1ro vs NiKo  im think sh1ro will win.

[ralle14]

I went with Gen G -1.5 @1.67 for today, Gen G made a huge upgrade in their roster picking up Chovy and Peanut so there are high expectations coming from this roster and this should go 2-0 at the minimum since DRX looked bad on their opening match. In terms of individual performance, Gen G should be the better team the only question is if they could mesh things together on their first series.

Also, LEC is scheduled to start later today, looking forward to Vitality vs Mad Lions.

Most of the team in my country doesn't get a hype anymore because they will compete outside the country but of course, it's better on the health protocols. It's better to keep safe than travelling on the other country and also it took time again before getting back here. Also a new variant shows up and feels sad that most of our favourite team's cannot make their new strategy that will give hype on us.

Vitality's roster kinda looks like a superteam,,Selfmade, carzzy, perkz, alphari... I'll take Vitality moneyline x1.5, seems a bit generous, i could totally see a stomp here, or maybe i'm underestimating Mad Lions? but losing carzzy and humanoid must've been a devastating blow... I see no value in the other games /edit* my dumb fav bookie is having issues with LoL, so i'll parlay G2 and Fnc on sportsbet for around same odds

Too bad Team Liquid won't play today in the LCS, another superteam i'm eager to see (Bwipo, Hans sama, bjergsen + corejj and NA viking Santorin)
