OG just won 2-0 against Brame, something I'm not really surprised about with how well everyone is performing in their last few series. ATF seems to be more disciplined despite keeping that early aggressiveness in his games. As opposed to him diving on supports that absolutely has no value whatsoever on their past few games. He's changed; for the better, and it's certainly helping the team a lot.

Not surprising and I'm seeing this Brame Team just like the Ad Finem team before where Thug and SsaSpartan were part of. Just a little conversation of looking back at the old teams where Nisha has came from.
Do you remember his team way back then? The Team Kinguin which is a known shop for digital goods. I've just remembered that his former team was really good but he's the only one that's being scouted and the rest were like wasted talents.

OGs doing really great, the exact opposite of what Nigma has experienced as of late, they're doing really bad. I don't think they're bad (as players) though, might just be them honestly adjusting to some team changes or something, whatever they may be I hope they fix it fast since the performance they've shown is really disappointing.

The other teams so far are doing pretty normal, Gladiators being second to OG right now. I'm still going to pay attention to TS though even if they're a bit down there. Now that I look at it, it's only been Nigma that has shown really disappointing results.

i didn't grab RNG ml x1.76 yesterday cos i was waiting for the daily boost to go online, and before you know it, it's down to 1.66 today so i skipped it... it's 2-2 now and we could have another reverse sweep. RNG with all the momentum on their favor might win this series,, but at this point it's not worth risking any money

That's back-to-back reverse sweeps in the LPL after RNG won the 5th map and set up a meeting with TES in the semi-finals. I can't believe there are so many reverse sweeps happening recently.

Moving on to Dota now that the next LPL match is still 2 days from now, i've already placed a ticket on the over 2.5 between BOOM vs T1 two of the best teams in the region and one of the reasons why I expect this one to go over is because BOOM have recently dropped a map against Execration which is one of the weaker teams in the region. While T1 are performing okay so far they've only fought weaker teams except for Polaris.

Does anyone watch the fight of team secret vs Entity. Game one is already in favour of the entity because they have a lot of counters with the draft of the Team secret, WK is the cant fight against the razor but Nisha as a storm spirit makes a good initiation and always catches up with the cores also with the good draft of iceiceice necro is one of the most OP right now with the offlane list added with the upgraded vessel charges and also i didn't expect they will use the Mars as the position 4 played by yapzor this guy never fails an expectation as crowd control.

[sunsilk]

But still, I think it will be an easy place for Nigma to get back to div 1.

This one I doubt heavily. They'd need to reevaluate and reflect on things that they did so wrong in Div 1. Imagine getting beat by teams whose playstyle you know so hard and whose players you always encounter in pubs, that means there is a problem with the way they play and the way they take on these types of games. Removing iLTW completely and placing Kuroky as a coach instead of a player is a start, but I guess that's one move they won't really do because iLTW is a 'friend' and Kuroky is the 'boss' they don't have the balls to speak up against, even if the latter's game and performance is what drags them on games that matter.

It should be a personal decision for kuro to move from a player to a coach. Just like what n0tail had understood that it's now the time for the new-gen and young blood to dominate through their team.

But I don't think that kuro will do that.

He has passion for the game just like the other professionals that we known for years and if he's into playing, he'll stay and keep playing until he realizes that there's a big change must happen to his team.

Any LOL tips for tomorrow guys, my early tickets are quite empty lately and I could use a bit of a boost.

the LOL season is ending so there aren't that many fixtures lately. But in case you don't find too much action next weekend and you want some LoL games for your morning tickets, these will be my tickets for the LPL playoffs: +1.5 JDG and Top esports ml

Moving on to Dota now that the next LPL match is still 2 days from now, i've already placed a ticket on the over 2.5 between BOOM vs T1

i had my eyes on BOOM ml and +2.5 last night but for then some reason i decided to skip esports today... ughh, gotta trust your gut feeling sometimes, am i righ?

With the game, one of T1 vs Boom it is already in favor with the T1 because of their drafting all of the draft of Boom is about a damage dealer and huskar is one of the best counters with this disable and aghanims scepter upgrades it becomes now an axe hero also with the Gabbi Medusa they can manage with the stone gaze its super over power in the game, with that the Boom don't let this game happen again and Yopaj already pick his favorite ember spirit and also tims pick again the KOTL which is quite hard to the T1 because of the Mana sustain for ember. With the last game they cant even win against 3 STR heroes only the TA has the damage and their sandking mid is not quite effective.

I'm also liking those leans JDG's last two series went through all five maps it won't be a surprise if their third series goes through all five again. Then TES because of their momentum.

Yup, the same thing happens to me as well, I start to have doubts about some of my picks then later on it ends up hitting. Sometimes it's better to sit back once in a while rather than have a negative profit for the day.

Sometimes you just gotta take that bet especially if it's a gut feeling. You never know when it'll hit. If you are uncertain on a bet but you feel like there's some chance of it winning, just take it and spend a few bucks that you can afford to lose. Losing a bet you took a chance on is better than regretting a bet that you didn't take. Boom's drafting against T1 yesterday is just off. Idk what they want to accomplish, but T1 just performed a lot better.

[arallmuus]

Few good games to bet on for tomorrow

Boom vs Fnatic

Fnatic hasnt lose a single round so far and technically Boom hasnt lose a single round as well because they forfeited on their first round so this is going to be a great game with potential of over 2.5 games.

GG vs Tundra

Another potential of over 2.5 games, Tundra has been declining so far while GG is still trying to get that top spot for Major

Secret vs Nigma

I personally would be taking Secret -1.5 but Nigma might be trying hard to get their first win in this DPC series

Boom draft might be off but they had just been outplayed when it comes to skill execution and team play which is somewhat expected on how T1 plays.Its true about gut feeling that underdogs might have
the chance of winning and its true that even if it loses then you wont really be having that kind of regret feeling inside since you had made out bets according to your own analysis and of course some gut feeling.
Not all the times favorites would really be having assurance on winning up the game.

Anyone bet on Fnatic v BOOM? I have my bet on Fnatic winning the entire series and so far so good. So-so odds but BOOM's play in Game 1 is quite shaky. This game 2 I don't like Fnatic's pick relying heavily ln pick offs and single target kills against BOOM's AOE lineup. As expected, mid game is rough for Fnatic but if Armel and Raven can hold off and just farm, they can easily win against BOOM's squishy lineup.

Update: sick save by Jackyy on Tims in the rosh pit. Now that's Div 1 SEA for you!

Edit: idk why I typed T1 lol. Must have been really tired to do that

Are you pertaining to Boom Esports vs Fnatic match instead of T1? I’m currently watching because I have bet with Fnatic match winner with 3.1 odds. Fnatic show a good start on this DPC tournament so I’m surprised that there odds is so high against Boom even though they have a history of many close fights before. Game 3 is in the pipeline but I hope they will draft a good hero this time around.

well, JDG 369 getting bullied in game 4 by Rich cost them the game. Rich solo killed 369 so many times i thought we were watching the same replay over and over again. I have never seen a top lane so one sided in a very long time. What a stomp

G vs Tundra

I do bet with the boom e-sports we know the capability of the Boom at the first game its become all smooth for fanatic but of course we cant underestimate the potential of Yopaj  and Jackboy they carried all the way in the second game  actually I'm feeling hopeless with that match earlier 2nd game is super tough because of the IO + Syllabear combo its so OP in that game but still the Ember and LS combo manage to win the game, at the game three its already in favor with the Boom because of the good draft of Storm mid, sustain Aba + Medusa and the Offlane Mars its super favor of Boom than the draft if Fnatic, Doom offlane and SK mid does not bring too much impact.

I just lost my bet and I'm not even mad. BOOM played extremely well, especially with the scouting and warding game of Tims. He's just so versatile and so good in positioning which helped Yopaj Storm Spirit get all the kills in a fast manner without Fnatic getting a return kill most of the time. That game 3 is just surgical play from BOOM--everything so precise and so calculated. I just thought that Fnatic is still a good team that can rival them in the top spot for SEA DPC (plus the fact that the odds are heavily against them albeit being a good team).

That's enough esports bet for today. NGX is doing really good so far against Secret too. Hopefully NGX pulls through.

Yeah its part of the gambling today Yopaj always do love to pick with the storm spirit and the ember and those heroes' mobility always conquers the game and the last match game 3 its already in favor with the Boom drafting already stated the winner, also with the game Team secret vs NGX the NGX really trying hard to get this game after they lose too much but they cant make it their draft is still looks like Ti7 and their game play too not like the Team Liquid before. Hoping they need some changes for this line up.

GG vs Tundra

Nailed this as well as over 2.5 for BOOM vs Fnatic. It would have been sweet parlay for me if Secret wasnt messing up on the 1st game and ended up losing to Nigma but oh well atleast Nigma won a game in this DPC series although it doesnt really matter anymore as they are still going to the 2nd division lol

I forgot to highlight another one, its TSM vs EG. Both team hasnt lose a single round yet and this is a potential over 2.5 games as well. TSM currently won the first game but EG seems to be taking the lead on the second game right now.

EG just took game 2. Semi-confident that Arteezy can do some Miracle but Saberlight and MoonMeander's combo is deadly and can put pressure on the safe lane. This meta focuses heavily on the offlane to put pressure and you can even see 5 position supports responding to a fight on the other side of the map and leaving the carry to defend the tower. So far, only Tundra and BOOM managed to get this offlane thing consistently, though TSM is also doing some magic on that part of the map. I'd like rtz to win, but TSM is also showing that they can do better.

+2.5 is an easy bet. Hope your odds aren't butchered by the bookies.

Boom won and they're now going to Stockholm with Fnatic. 

Not really a big match I think because Fnatic was already secured with the Stockholm Major and now both of them are now on the list. The crucial part is on T1 and Polaris.

Polaris has no longer any match left while T1 has still a match with Fnatic.

If Fnatic loses, nothing to lose.

If Fnatic wins, nothing to win.

If T1 wins, are they going to switch that 3rd slot on Stockholm major from Polaris through points, right?
