Final is a bo5, safe bet would be over 3.5. Each team is getting at least one map for sure!

over 3.5 @1.4 odds last night was superb value. No chance we see a 3-0 sweep ... but you never know 👀

🤣
i have a feeling we're gonna see more unpredictable games in the upcoming Pinnacle Cup Championship. It's a tourney with a 250k prize pool so we'll definitely see some teams go full try hard mode, but to some teams this will be a testing ground for sure (like EG and Fnatic)

Same reaction lol, profits down the drain but at least it was a quick loss instead of ENCE giving us false hopes.

lol right on

and yeah, finally some Dota action, although it's a shame we're starting off with such one sided matches, literally no value in those games unless you fancy [a donation to the bookies] Team Secret +1.5 hc... a few months ago i would've say aye! to this tip, but I'd rather wait for Secret to show us some good dota before dropping any money on their series

It is interesting also for the NA as they only have 2 slots for the Arlington major

Its because NA and SA are basically the 'weakest' region as of now. Both of these two region only had 2 slots for the previous major as well so no surprises there


We are officially starting DPC tomorrow for the 1st division, several good games to bet on for tomorrow

EHOME vs PSG.LGD

GG vs Entity

Secret vs OG. Well Secret might be holding OG up with their new carry so this one should be over 2.5 maps easily though but OG would probably win

and if you like some taste for the 2nd division then Nigma vs Ivy might be worth to bet on

Today in the ESEA Season 41: Advanced Division - Europe some realy cool matches.
Entropiq Prague vs BIG Academy im think BIG will win they play better and have more experience.
Dynamo Eclot vs Enterprise  Enterprise should win this maybe they struggle a bit butt.

Finally some tier 1 DOTA. I got used to putting a game or two on my multi tickets. Coincidence or not, I lost most of the tickets lately while we had a break in DOTA so I hope this will help with my win rate a bit. Anything that removes Nations League games from the tickets should improve considering results in that competition.

PSG -1,5, GG and OG are my choices at the moment but I did not check the odds and roster changes yet so maybe I'll change something.

I'm on the over 2.5 @2.20 as well since the bookies are expecting a quick 2-0 on the side of OG after their impressive major win but I doubt Secret would let that happen.

I also want to include GG for the next series as they're still likely to win but Entity now got Pure(former carry for VP) as their carry which is still a solid replacement over their previous carry Crystallis who's now playing for Team Secret.

Yeah, that's much really is a fact that many don't like to hear if they're from those regions or they're a fan of a team from those regions. Honestly speaking, the SA region is getting more interesting and attractive to watch.

It's because of what they've shown on the last major, the Stockholm major. Well, I don't know what to watch as it's likely that the schedule for OG vs Secret is going to be the same with other good matches in other sports like boxing.

So far so good for me and you guys with over 2.5 maps on Secret game got unlucky. I watched first game and ti was all Secret until they broke apart and OG finished the game quite quickly. I just knew it is 2:0 at that moment and didn't even watch it after that.

GG just starting and I am ready with the game on one screen forum on the other

Yeah it was crazy because at some point Team Secret had over 14k lead against OG and if they actually secured that 1st map, Im pretty sure that it could go over 2.5 maps but oh well I guess

GG just starting and I am ready with the game on one screen forum on the other

The game is pretty interesting and Entity is currently way ahead for the 1st map

Speaking of interesting game though, Nigma had a comeback with 3% win probability at the lowest point. It was so intense though even for a 2nd division game but part of it was Team Ivy literally throwing the game away

Not over yet but this will be a clean 2:0 for Entity, I knew it would be too much to hope for a perfect day of all correct DOTA bets. GG just looked bad today, not sure if it is because they had a bad day or Entity clicked with the new carry super fast and were actually very good.

At least we have top tier DOTA back so it has been a fun day.

The same thing happened in the second game it was brutal to watch, Secret dominating early and building an early lead then suddenly loses one or two crucial team fights and momentum shifts on the side of OG.

Surprised to see GG fall flat against Entity I thought it'd be close but both games looked like Entity had the control.

Tomorrow in the ESEA Season 41: Advanced Division - Europe some cool matches
Marskalk vs Sissi State Punks im think Sissi State will win this match they are stronger.
Into the Breach vs GameAgents this gone be hard for Agents dont think they have any chance
Kova vs Cowana Gaming for sure win Cowana

[boyptc]

As expected for Nigma.Galaxy, they've won their first match today against IVY. Their roster is with sumail and they did well. Not that much to expect as they seem to be the strongest on the division 2.

It's like that they're going to get any place and will be back to division 1 too easy. I wonder how they're going to perform if their opponent is the usual one they fight in division 1.

If they cant get back to the 1st division then they might as well want to consider to disband the team. They are actually decent, way better than the last DPC for sure but they are far from their prime. They were pushed out by the 2nd division team to only left with 3% win probability, thats kinda show how bad they are though because if it was against any 1st division team then Im pretty sure that they wont make any comeback from that 2nd map

i can recommend 500casino for monthly rakeback, rewards and VIP program, these guys take really good care of their VIPs i can tell you that

anyways, lots of Dota discussion lately, but I'll show some love to LoL today,, waiting for G2 v  Excel in the LEC, this is actually a big game for G2 (and also XL), a must-win if you will if they want to secure a top 4 spot early, otherwise, it's gonna be tough for G2 this weekend cos their next two games will be vs. Vitality and Rogue

Thank you for the suggestion. But after I looked at the site for a while I see that they don't open sportsbooks for Dota 2 live betting as often as gamdom (the Dota 2 live-betting sportsbook is usually locked since the beginning of the match), but gamdom only has fiat currency to measure bet amount and I like to always place bets in BTC amount.

On the other hand, loot.bet has a sportsbook that opens as often as gamdom, and also we can place bets in the amount of BTC. But they don't have a great rewards program like you mentioned in 500casino.

So do you have any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Maybe they are just still adjusting to there new roster however IVY is still a good team for Div 2 category since they are winning some tier 3 contest in there previous matches.

Even other Tier 1 team can have that kind of error in the game even if the enemy is just a tier 2 team. Tier 2 team is now evolving and slowly climbing up to the ladder to replaced some of the old tier 1 team that became just like Nigma.

Surprised to see EG go down against 4Zoomers on their first series, I was expecting EG to drop a map but dropping a series this early would mean they have to win the remaining series if they plan to qualify for the third major.

Not many interesting games left today but I did watch Talon vs Polaris series earlier and all three games were decided by draft alone, Talon got the much better drafts in the first and third game while Polaris lacked some drafting synergy.

Although I'm not surprised that EG can't be that stable anymore 4zoomers/nouns got a strong draft on game 3. They always get rekt on series' that's why nothing that much to expect from them even with the recent comeback of Fly.

Talon won but Polaris isn't just another team that any sea team should underestimate. That's it for SEA today but tomorrow, it'll be Fnatic and Nigma.SEA.

Does anyone make a bet with the recent match of the Team OG vs the Team Secret. In this match of game one, it is already in favour with the Team secret because their draft is so good against the team OG and again unexpected build by amar the f makes a viper offlane with a damage build of skadi and dragon lance to fight against the razer which is ideal to counter their pick, also this game it does not give a good positon for Taiga to commit a 3-5 man blackhole. During the game, the two teams secret tried to pick again with the razor against the morpling but the game becomes snowballing because of the continuously losing in the clash. They don't have enough damage with this game that's why they got conquered with the Morp and Tiny carry.

That was quite unexpected but the flexibility of Ammar on his offlane heroes is proving to be extremely effective to OG. Just like what Fear said on his analysis, Ammar is the only offlane player that converts his greed into something valuable for the team. If the enemy team shuts down Yuragi or bzm early in the game, Ammar can transition into a carry role once he identifies that he needs to itemize as such. That is what happened here on this game and that is what you should know about this guy that a lot of pros are now trying to imitate.
