Was quite late to place anything for GG but they still delivered a good game against Secret. Dyracho and tofu wrecking the offlane and Sumail can't really do anything about this duo. Their team dynamics is extremely weird: their pos 2 often opens the engagement and their tanky offlane always comes in late, yet they don't lose engagements that often and most of the time even comes out on top. Gladiators is really a fun team to watch alongside Tundra. Would be a great match to watch if ever their paths cross in the next few days.

There offline acts as carry role in game 1. Afaik is a pos1 player before in other teams role. The match very one sided and I’m confused why does the odds on pnxbet sportsbook is in favor with Secret knowing how strong Gladiator sonce last tournament and the start of this group stage. Sumail can’t carry the in late game because all the 3 cores of Gladiator always hit the timing of there items unlike Secret that keeps being lose in there lanes. This is a very bad match for Secret, I thought they already get there tempo when they beat beat OG last time. Gladiator is so strong on there current roster!

Cant wait for Tundra vs Gladiator.

Small chances for Nigma to qualify the next TI through DPC points, probably they'll do well in the qualifier but I honestly think most of the WEU teams right now are far better than Nigma

yeah they're off to a bad start, but i wouldn't rule them out just yet, after all, they were pretty good in Gamers Galaxy... give em a few more games before adding them back to your bet slips

I might go with the TES series tomorrow and just observe the Pro League games since there might be teams that would put on a surprise.

what a statement from TES, eh? deleted LNG from Riot's servers
next up JDG v WBG, it's a coinflip imo... Weibo handicap is too low and expecting JDG -1.5 to hit seems risky... i'll be rooting for TheShy so i'll take WBG to win, just for fun. I'll leave the main tickets for the LEC

in the Pro League i had to endure 7 OT's in map2 just to know if this was gonna hit

Gamers Galaxy was different though, Nigma is a great team in LAN tournament but for some reason they are not in an online tournament like this. Giving them one last chance for the next one. Its against Brame in the next 3 days and its the only team so far that hasnt win a single game yet aside from Nigma. Given that Nigma is far better in term of individual players, they should have been able to scoop this one with 2 games in a row and all the reason to win this with 2-0 because they have lost badly on the last 2 rounds

We'll see how this goes though

[sunsilk]

Yes.

T1 is one of the unpredictable teams and they have been one of the crowd favorites during the last TI and I think, that they'll be the same favorites again for the upcoming next TI.

About OG, the management, former captain - Notail, understands that their era has already ended and they need a set of new breeds to continue their domination.

Lets just accept that thing on where roster do really change but it cant just be easily forgotten on how these former members do make a certain team to be that popular and seeing having bad records on a new roster do
really give out that kind of annoying feeling. (Personal reaction)

Yes.

That's what the branding that they have and it's a 2-time former TI champion with that roster. And it has never happened again, I thought that they'll be a 3-peat.

But that didn't happened.

I'm still optimistic with their roster and I know that these young bloods are also going to reach to their peak and will be able to reach what the former roster has reached.

[Mauser]

Today is Complexity playing against AGO as part of the ESL Pro League Season 15. Should be a sure win for Complexity, their team is still very competitive and AGO has not a good track record lately. Then on the 1st April Astralis is playing against AGO, should be another save win for Astralis.
For Monday there are more ESL Meisterschaft 2022 games, BIG is playing against Sissi State Punks. Should be a nice match but I expect BIG to win this one, the last two times the teams played each other BIG won. I might be a bit biased because I really like BIG, for me they are still favourites this year. Both teams have roughly the same points, but group A fit Sissis was easier than group B for BIG.

[Peanutswar]

Well, there's still ample time for this current roster of OG to be good as what we're expecting. Most of them are new to the LAN tournaments and having misha as their captain and notail as their coach.

They're still on the right track with their guidance and I don't think that they're doing it wrong. It's just there's always the better team when it comes to these matches. What they need to do is to adopt those losses and learn from it and the next time they have match against that team that has beat them, they'll know how to counter them well.

There are teams which does have bad matches or performance on majors or other tourneys but turns out to have some comeback in major ones like TI thats why its totally unpredictable.
Speaking with the current roster of OG then i dont say that they do suck but i do still better to prefer on seeing the older or former ones but well time has changed.

Yes.

About OG, the management, former captain - Notail, understands that their era has already ended and they need a set of new breeds to continue their domination.

I guess the T1 now will bring a new meta on the game because of the core rotation imagine they swap 23savage to one of the tops carry too which is GabbiDota currently there's a 3 Pinoy in their team which more quite good for the communication of the team members, I guess the T1 will conquer the SEA region but we don't forget today the one of the reborn team which is the OG their complexity is too much good they even rekt the Team secret and they are more aggressive than the previous TI winners OG member.

T1 is surely strong but Boom currently on different level among the SEA teams. Jackky is showing a lot of improvement since he joined Boom since has a a solid team that well coordinated during rotation and crucial clash. I don't watch anymore SEA DPC points tournament because the odds is not good for underdog bettor like me. They usually put close odds on each team for all +1 pick.

I really miss the team Orca team. They are real dark horse of SEA that usually dominate strong opponents with a good odds for them. Its such a waste that they are DQ after being a champion on BTS.

I'm going for the opposite side and go with JDG, they had a rough start in the split but during the second half, they looked like a different beast taking down top teams including V5. Weibo had a good performance against EDG but I feel like i'm not that convinced that they can take down JDG.

I'm tempted to parlay the over 3.5 between this series and the G2 series later but unfortunate that Betsy doesn't have any odds available yet.

Quite hesitant on BIG. They have fucked my bets many times over for me to trust them ever again. Sissi is a good team but inconsistent so far with their results, but even then I wouldn't place any bet for BIG even if they are against a tier 2/3 teams. They ought to redeem themselves, especially faven who is always underperforming and might even be the weakest link of the group.

[SUPERSAIAN]

At the ESL pro 15 tournament. The first matches in group D ended as expected. Navi, Astralis, Heroicte defeated their opponents. The second matches will be played in Group D today. Heroic v Astralis match may be very close, I think we will watch a good competition. My choice for this match will be Heroic. I think he will get a comfortable win against NaVi Eg. By the way, Navide Bombl4 is out of the squad, probably has a disease. He plays headtr1ck instead of bombl4.

Change in the position 1 is pretty normal when the season is in and everyone is aiming to get as much as DPC as they can to qualify for the TI.

In fairness of 23savage, he's doing well and made Team Talon Sports doing good. SEA is really a tough region and anyone on that region can dominate.

But AFAIK, it's Boom that's dominating and is on the top.

Boom definitely is on the top same with Fnatic. T1 is still adjusting on Gabbi playstyle or the other way around because they it's noticeable everytime they have new team opponent. Gabbi as carry has an inconsistent farming which his team mates usually suffer if ever the enemy tram get there item first. No doubt to Karl as solid mid lane but the rest of the team is having a hard time to synchronizer there game play to Gabbi tempo on the game.

Look at Boom even though there carry is not consistent too. The other player keeps giving him space for farm especially yopaj that always dominates his lane or atleast create some rotation to catch enemy attention and pressure them to react away from the position of carry farm site.

Because of some rotation, they trade Gabbi from Talon to 23Savage from T1 but again the skill set of these two is just quite not bit different that's why the Talon accepted this kind of offer because we know how they are strong with the T1 its much in favor with it because the 3 filipino is in their team much more easier to communicate, I forgot to mention too the Boom e-sports after the TNC disband the boom already grab the greatest member such as Yopaj and Tims these two always makes a good complexity and there's no throw every game.

Talon is a good team which just needs some improving on the support department. 23savage lifts up the team, though you can't deny that forev's coaching also helps them big time. Also, kpii is already a veteran that knows the ins and outs of dota 2, and just needs some reliable team mates to convert his experience to some wins. But yeah, BOOM is the undeniable kings of SEA right now, and many other teams in the region will surely try to dethrone them as TI slowly approaches.

Agreed mate. They are the most consistent Filipino player that I know in there respective position. Fly on Talon didn't work because his strategy and game still is not suited for SEA dotes. I believe this is the case to with Gabbi on T1, Yes they are winning but that's only fro mid tier team since they are strong individually but when they are facing strong team like Boom and Fnatic, They always struggling on the late game to close the fight which always the reason why they always kick out during the playoffs. Gabbi is strong pos1 player but sometimes his performance is not consistent when his teammates can't provide him space to farm his item.

There's only the top one, Boom is even defeating Fnatic so that's the reason why Boom is at top 1. I have no problems with Gabbi with his farm, I think he's better on that and very adjustable. It just going to depend on the playstyle as a team.

Look at Boom even though there carry is not consistent too. The other player keeps giving him space for farm especially yopaj that always dominates his lane or atleast create some rotation to catch enemy attention and pressure them to react away from the position of carry farm site.

Jackky is a consistent top carry IMO.

23savage really did a good addition to the team and they're having better results. 2 Indonesian, 2 Thais, and 1 half Chinese-half Australian. This team is really doing good on the Division 2 and I think they'll be the other team that shall reach Division 1 soon.

LEC playoffs are back! G2 v Team Vitality

Vitality looked too shaky against XL, same as their entire split performance. G2 were very inconsistent too this season, but i'm a bit biased towards this org, so today i'll take the moneyline at 1.85x, really good odds thanks to the classic sb boost

The second matches will be played in Group D today. Heroic v Astralis match may be very close

this was a banger. I'm a bit dissapointed Astralis couldn't close out map 2 and map 3 despite being on the lead, but they still displayed good cs even though it was only the 2nd game with Farlig,, talking about Farlig, he's usually a really good awper, but he's looking a bit off in astralis, must be really nerve-racking to play in a top team

Jackky is a consistent top carry IMO.

Before joining BOOM, Jackky is a so-so carry. He has his moments of glory, but most of the time he's outshined by Gabbi or 23Savage for the best SEA carry. Also, most of the tournaments he has been before he's picked by BOOM are against tier 2/3 teams. That's not a disrespect but he has a lot more to prove but so far he's nailing it. Their matches against T1 showed how he can still play well despite being pressured and kicked out of the lane at a stage wherein he's uncomfortable jungling. He's slowly being consistent, and slowly catching a lot of attention in the scene with their recent performances.

Easy win for G2, Vitality looked okay in the early phase then they always fumble the lead mid to late game. The third map was even more brutal they had like a 6k gold at one point but made some crucial mistakes by overextending instead of just taking the objectives.

Anyways, i'm going for a max bet on T1 -1.5 @1.55 as I don't think Gen G have the capability to push T1 to all five maps with their performance against Damwon.
