[SUPERSAIAN]

Matches continue in ESL pro league season 15 group D. Navi and Heroic share the group lead, making the team three to three. Astralis comes behind them. Currently, there is no other team that poses a threat to Astralise. But it seems that it is not possible for Astralis team to finish in the first two. Today they will play against Astralis-Navi. Let's see if Astralis can challenge Navi. Complexity was also surprising that EG team scored zero points.

Ok , NIGMA Galaxy should simply go to Division 2 of dota and start rebuilding from there as they are simply a joke of this game right now and no one really take them seriously anymore. Look at them now , they just lost against FNATIC with 30k lead on FNATIC. Also , miracle should really think to retire or to kick ILTW from team as this guy simply doesn't know how to carry.

Anyways, i'm going for a max bet on T1 -1.5 @1.55

that's gonna hit 
game 3 was SO close... Gen.G gave T1 a run for their money even though they were down in gold lead, almost completed the comeback. Game 4 has been a walk in the park for T1, 15min in and they're 7-1 plus 4k gold lead. This is gonna snowball really fast.

later today, Rogue v Fnatic, i'm gonna go with fnatic to win the series

Let's see if Astralis can challenge Navi.

boombl4 is back just in time to face astralis. Should be a quick 2-0 for Navi

Over 2.5 maps is a good bet with good odds for Astralis and Navi, although with the recent results of Navi, it will be tough for Astralis to take even 1 map, but not impossible. Blamef and xyp9x performing really well on a lot of games, though it would still need a lot of team effort if they want to take down a composed Navi. I believe that they can clutch it, though that belief is extremely slim.

[STT]

I did a multibet that Navi win both their games but also another bet 3 maps happen for EG vs col and Navi Astralis

EG has 3 of the former world champ winners on their team, in theory they can do better then their history shows.  Theres zero wrong with any of the players, just a case of making everything fit and operate with a strategy vs any opponent.   Complexity on the other hand do the opposite brewing up something out of nothing on a regular basis, I placed a silly bet they beat Astralis just for fun hopefully one of these wins and/or I get a decent game to watch

I agree lol that third game was kinda scary it reminded me of the game 5 comeback from their series against Damwon where they kept on stalling the game by taking the risk on the 50-50 objectives.

Nice call, I might take the handicap if that's the case.

That Alliamce vs Goonsquad is a pleasure to watch. Nikobaby and the gang can't hold it against S4 and LIMMP. It's kinda wrong to tag Goonsquad as a tier 3 team because they are comprised of talented and seasoned EU players that even formed the previous Alliance. Just goes to show that Nikobaby still has a lot of flaws as a carry when matched with a team that knows how he plays.

OG vs Tundra would be a great matchup. This will test OG's drafting and strategies as Tundra so far have shown that their meta is off the books and they can make everything work. I'm confident that Tundra can make a 2-0 but this is OG we're talking about, and they can take at least one map if they can't win the series.

Remember our last conversation about giving Nigma another chance to prove themselves? lol yeah they lost against Brame today, 2 games in a row and Brame was the only team that had lost all their games before they play against Nigma

At this rate, Nigma is most likely going to the 2nd division and that also means that they will lose their chance to open qualifier to TI because only top teams from respective region will be able to participate in open qualifier as well as Wild Card qualifier. I guess its time for them to go their separate ways

I sow this post from you when it was still 4:2 for Navi on map 1 and I took Navi to win 2:0 @2.1. So far it looks like easy money but you never know. Thanks for the tip anyways

Watched first map and it really showed that Goonsquad knows how to counter Alliance (Nikobaby), had them on my ticket so very happy that they managed to wrap it up in just 2 maps.

@Trofo  good luck  EDIT*  close but no cigar

I did a multibet that Navi win both their games but also another bet 3 maps happen for EG vs col and Navi Astralis

EG v COL going to the decider was expected since both teams were playing against a rival of their same caliber (NA cs 😂 ). How long until Evil Geniuses disband the CSGO division in the org? team's dead tbh

That Alliamce vs Goonsquad is a pleasure to watch.

Goonsquad are smurfing in this league. Looking forward to seeing them in Division 1. I hope they keep the same roster for the upcoming tournaments

Remember our last conversation about giving Nigma another chance to prove themselves? lol yeah they lost against Brame today, 2 games in a row and Brame was the only team that had lost all their games before they play against Nigma

Yeah Nigma are bad... at this rate they're totally gonna disband. Time to avoid nigma in any bet slips for a long time... and now they'll beat Gladiators tomorrow you'll see  

[sunsilk]

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.

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.

What I've noticed is the improvement he got since he's with skem and times.

These two really did well on balancing the team and controlling most of the lanes and helping them carry through the space that they're creating. That's why for me, he's being helped on his team to become consistent and that's good for the team itself and him being a carry.

Plus, the help of their coach mushi, he'll literally get a lot of advise and advanced tips on how to become one effective carry.

Im actually going to go for Gladiators -1.5 tomorrow against Nigma. I think its going to worth it considering that they cant really beat any other team at the current division right now if they lose 2 games to Brame. Im actually a huge fans of them ever since they were in Liquid but watching them play and lose every single time just feels so weird though lol

Might update this later with the betslip lol

Edit :

Im actually doing it as well ! lol

Same here, already locked my ticket on Gaimin Gladiators -1.5 I thought Nigma would grab their first win against Brame but at this rate they're going to get relegated as the remaining teams they'll be facing on their schedule will be much tougher than Brame.



Hopefully, it'll be a quick 2-0 so I could still take Navi against Heroic.

[Wexnident]

Nigma was a huge disappointment lmao. Most people were expecting them to win (me as well) and yet they lost 2 games to Brahm, pretty sure most people would have to rethink their judgment of what Nigma and they'd probably honestly lose against Gladiators for their next game.

OG vs Tundra would be a great matchup. This will test OG's drafting and strategies as Tundra so far have shown that their meta is off the books and they can make everything work. I'm confident that Tundra can make a 2-0 but this is OG we're talking about, and they can take at least one map if they can't win the series.

Welp, OG stomped Tundra with a 2-0 instead. The first game they were fighting well but Second game they just got stomped by OG. I guess the momentum from first game was brought over which led to Tundra ultimately losing the next game.

[tomahawk9]

you guys watching Nigma? wtf is this? i just got here and i'm seeing a stomp and half from nigma in game2 with a massive 20k gold lead at the 30min mark... 322 or did Nigma actually remember how to play dota against no other than the first place undefeated team? what are the odds eh

It's a bummer. I thought they can turn arpund game 1 and pick the pace from there, but nah, bzm just styling on Tundra for 2 games straight and Tundra can't even do anything.

The first game was an entire stomp, but that second game is really something else. Even then, kuroky ain't doing shit to help his team make moves around the map, and it's just Gh and Miracle who opens up engagements and win the fights. They just returned GG the stomp that they received and it's actually fun to watch.

Its not really that Nigma is getting worse somehow, I personally think after watching today's game that most of the other teams are just getting better. Alright, imagine if Nigma's member still stick around on same team and play on 2nd division next season lol that would have been hilarious.

Still 3 rounds to go against ETG, Liquid and Secret and Im pretty sure that they wont be able to win against three of those to stay up on the 1st division so yeah Nigma is over this season

I agree, although they may look weak and going to lose their division 1 spot. The other teams are just improving and they're beating Nigma which we're expecting to be one of the top tier teams in the world.
Anyway, if they go in the division 2, they can still go back to division 1 but they're already in danger of going there and their hands on their spot is on the hands of other teams going in a losing streak too.

[STT]

2 of my multibets worked, quite pleased about that only trying to guess Complexity can beat Astralis failed which was a tall order, they did take it to 3 maps.

MIBR already beat carpe diem and likely do it again.  Mythic should beat Unjustified though they are a meme team hopefully they can focus but should anyway.  Mad lions over Savage is the only big match really

this iteration of EG is now 0-8 in international tournaments... won 1 map this entire tournament

owch, they did get a map vs col.   Maybe it'll click into place for them some day

[Wexnident]

Well, Tundra did throw with the buyback they did midgame which resulted in dieback which gave OG a lot of space. Game 2 needs nothing to be said, they just got stomped.

Nigma played really well in game 2. They played around their heroes well and managed to create a pretty good lead early on. I wasn't able to watch Game 1 though sadly enough. Game 3 was okay-ish, I guess Gladiators just played better overall.

Waiting for that next OG game though. Against glad I think?
