Congrats and wow for having personal coach for each of them. Did they said that through an interview? If it's true then they're now truly investing for each of their own player.

Usually, it's only one coach for the entire team.

So with NaVi, they're having 6 different coaches? That's a lot of budget for them to have but every time when TI is near, every team is doing something like this for better development to qualify there.

Well , not all of them but most of them are having personal coaches for pubs games and then they share  data and stats of their games to the main coach, so pretty impressive if you ask me. Also , it seems that more and more pro players are starting to do this for their pubs game so competition might get super tight during this year.

It is truly impressive.

Well, upon hearing that from you surprised me honestly. Because with what I know, it's just usually one coach, an analyst and for OG, they've got something like a behavioral or psychological coach.

They're investing more time and money on this because they're all thinking that it's going to help them boost more of their play styles and performances. Pubs these are no longer the same pubs as before, the feeling is like each pub game you play at high mmr rankings is like an actual tournament game if no trolls and crybabies for each team.

Furia had a better performance this time around, and secured a 2-0 victory over Outsiders just like I anticipated and they're up for a rematch against the 9z, I strongly believe it's going to be Furia getting their revenge this time around, I'll be passing on the bet simply because aren't too good imo, I might got for a 2-1 correct score prediction if it's going to have a better and worthy odds.

Most of the fixtures for the Roobet Cup later tomorrow feel like it's going to be a one sided match, but I'm sure one or two of the favorites might slip up and give up a map, I might try a small parlay for all the four favorites to win 2:1,

Team Secret got another loss as Entity complete the reverse sweep and they're currently tied for the first place together with the other three teams. Entity's drafting was also interesting going for unconventional carry heroes(WR, Doom, Lesh) in all three games which is similar to Team Liquid's drafting style.

Later today i've got a bet on the LPL (EDG @1.44 vs BLG), EDG seems decent so far with a 3-1 record while BLG's struggles continue after losing against TES a few days ago and I think their losing streak will extend as they face another tough opponent.

[Harkorede]

I'm still pretty much locked in on the Roobet Cup, There are a couple of decider matches today; I've got the favorites to win on parlay and also a 2:1 win for all favorites as well, I'm not expecting much of any upset today, but we'll see what theatrics these dudes behind their keyboards got for us today

GL, @Harko

i went for the only favorite to win that you missed in your parlay, Mouz

Later today i've got a bet on the LPL (EDG @1.44 vs BLG)

generous odds for the world champions.
BLG put up a fierce fight but it wasn't enough, but still, they manage to give EDG a run for their money, i think there's potential in this BLG roster

Thanks man!,
Feels  like a bit of our fates are somewhat aligned yeah ?
I got the first 2 games to go my way and hopefully the remaining 2 can follow the same pattern, although the remaining 2 games feels more like a 2:1 game than the first 2 should have been, Astralis vs Complexity was supposed to be a stroll after the first map, but somehow Complexity stole map 2 and things got even, then Faze vs OG was some game to watch, intensive from start to finish.

[STT]

86x odds is highest I've seen.  If you win that you deserve merit for the audacity to make that bet  

I could not see much to bet on quickly,  just 3 maps for Mouz vs Eternal and also Bad News Eagles vs Forze.   Quite a few teams are capable of at least 1 map win, actually I dont know BNE well but ranks are close.

[Harkorede]

It's a crazy one to say the least, and now it seems I've got quite a chance to win it, both games is currently at 1:1, all I need now is for FURIA and Mouz to both win the 3rd map, that shouldn't be too much to ask, I hope.

[execijutiere]

Eternal fire beat mouz 2-1 and paired with big in roobet tournament. eternal fire had no presence on the map he chose. They started with a heavy 16-2 defeat. But mouz lost on the map he chose, so it was down to the last map. Woxic and xantares defeat mouz with outstanding performances. Tomorrow big will face eternal fire. Xantares will play against his old team. I think this will be a game where he can rally and give an extra performance. His performance had dropped a bit in the last games.

Guess its too much after all. Kinda understand the situation with Mouz losing to Eternal Fire but honestly with 9z advancing to the playoff despite being one of the underdog is pretty much unexpected.

I normally dont understand a thing about CSGO but I did my fair share of research on this tournament for the sake of participating in Roobet's prediction thread so as expected from this, no one picked 9z to get to top 8 so yeah its just crazy at this point

What a turnout that happened to be, Mouz won the first map 16-2 and I felt Eternal Fire were only luck to win the 2nd map, but then they secured the 3rd map as well, and Furia blowing what was 10-4 lead at some point to lose in OT, mehn! I would have said match fixing couldn't have been more obvious, but I'll only be a sore loser at such... so, it is what it is, I'd say!

Heh, FURIA found their kryptonite, and Mouz losing to the turkish super team, i kinda derserve it for expecting the likes of Dexter and JDC to play good CS (never happened  )

anyway, let's hope the playoffs treat us better

i'll stay away from BIG - Eternal Fire, 50/50 game imo, would rather go with over maps in the next series, let' see if 9z can go the distance against Cloud9

[CLS63]

We have seen a great series between Eternal Fire and MOUZ today. My expectations from Eternal Fire increased a lot after seeing their performance against Imperial. MOUZ were also a tough opponent for them like Imperial. The first game of the series was really disappointing for Eternal Fire. They were destroyed by MOUZ, 16-2. But Eternal Fire made a wonderful comeback later. First the win on Mirage by 16-12 and after that another win on Inferno by 16-13. However I still didn't like their performance fully. Because they made really simple mistakes like they did the same against Imperial too. Their next opponent in the quarter finals is BIG and it is a much tougher opponent. Eternal Fire had better be prepared well otherwise the result can be really heavy for them.

[edgycorner]

bros, I hope you all are as shocked as I am.

This was the woooooorse day for CS:GO betting. Furia losing to 9z? Again? And they literally threw the second map for nothing. I guess nobody cares about online tourneys.

Sucks bro, but you are still ahead on the roobet promo :p Maybe that will compensate this loss/

Frozen,bymas and torzsi are a solid trio. They should poach the IGL from mouz NXT already.

Yup, there's definitely potential for them to be one of the top teams in the region as they look solid on paper but still lack that coordination as they've swapped their mid players recently between Fofo and Icon.

Also, interesting upsets coming from Eternal Fire and 9z, forZe as an underdog against Astralis seem surprising though, their matchup to me looks close to a 50-50 after what they've shown during the groups.

I watched the group matches of EF. As a team, they are much better than before, they play more coordinated. The IGL change was positive in my opinion. Imorr should get used to it a little more. Despite this, he made good KD's in the group matches. Now to speak for their quarterfinal opponent, BIG, I think BIG should prepare well for this match, it is not a difficult opponent for EF. Since Xantares has played in BIG before, he knows the game styles of the players very well, and I think that's an advantage. We beat Imperial,MOUZ and also almost beat ENCE. BIG is not much of a problem in my opinion.

[tomahawk9]

heh, I'm watching roobet cup rn, BIG went from a 12-3 comfortable lead in the first half map2 to an absolute shitshow in the 2nd half and we're now in OT  i knew this was a coin flip lol

-JDC, +f0rest or +shox, -Dexter, +Snax. There, a tier 1 roster ready to win the next major 

forZe as an underdog against Astralis seem surprising though, their matchup to me looks close to a 50-50 after what they've shown during the groups.

this has Over 2.5 written all over it, but i don't trust Astralis with BaitF and washed up Xyp, so i'll take that Over maps line to ENCE - FaZe, somehow i see some value on Ence to win 2.3x, Faze have been a awful after the Major

[Harkorede]

I couldn't agree more after seeing what Eternal Fire just did in the second map against Big, Big were at some point up by a 12-1 margin then Eternal Fire complete a comeback in OT, they could really go two in row now just like they did against Mouz over turning the 1 Map deficit, Map 3 is Nuke so it's fingers crossed.

I also thought it'll be a 2-0 win for BIG as they're up by 15-12 at some point then EF somehow got the last three to force the OT.

I agree, Astralis is slowly falling off in terms of performance and it won't be surprising if forZe manages to win 2-0. Faze still continues to underperform but the over 2.5 looks solid here based on their recent results.

Also, we got some spicy dota later today and i'm liking the over 2.5 on Liquid vs Team Secret, Team Liquid should win but they lost in their last meeting so I think it'll end in 2-1 but with them coming out on top this time.  

[Peanutswar]

One of the most exciting match is between the Boom E-sports and Nigma Galaxy Sea at the first game Boom already makes a good head start but the problem is they make too much greedy for chasing and after that, they lose two team fights they still want to urge to try again with the high ground that causes to lose more clash and that's the reason why the NGXSea wins the game 1, the same happens with the game two but this time the Nigma are the one who are chasing the Boom they have the higher advantage and gold lead but still because of too much chase, with the game three they both uses the late game cores which is for the Boom they use the TB for trying to secured the game, but the problem is the Nigma pick for two late-game heroes which is Morp and Tiny that can't do anything to hold with the early snowball of Boom
