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

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

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

idk about shox in another intl' roster. He will definitely perform in a french roster but not sure about international. Poor guy had to leave his home & family, just to get benched in NA.
French scene looks very promising right now. Maybe we can make a gambit like team(4 french youngsters+1 old dog=shox). Gambit formulae definitely works(heroic is another proof).

forest and snax are solid, but no team will buy two old players at once. They are a kind of bad investment. Hard to flip later on.

Anyways, Dexter has to go or mouz got no chance.

Faze with a flawless victory against ENCE to secure a spot in the semi final, If there was any game I would have expected at least a somewhat even game, it definitely would have been this, but it went just one sided, ENCE having 12 points at the highest of the 2 maps. I didn't watch the game, but I really can't imagine how it was able to go once sided.

I missed the 1st map between Astralis and forZe as well, but I'm in on the second one, and it's been a great start for forZe with a 8-0 lead, they shouldn't be throwing this away.

Its either that Astralis was so much better or they threw that round away lol. It was 11-1 at some point and somehow it became 15-15 then it goes to overtime which ended with 19-22. They must have feel bad for themselves lol with huge lead of 11-1 but they lost the round.

Oh well both game ended with only 2 maps for today, kinda expecting both games to be 3 maps for today for the sake of entertainment

It's been a really unpredictable tournament, the knockouts look it was supposed to be a one sided events, but the underdogs were highly competitive and some even went through to the next round, now the quarter final is feeling less competitive, but hopefully the semi-finals will provide better sense of excitements, because today wasn't it.

Speaking of the semi-finals I don't have any teams in mind to root for, it's going to be a 50/50 chance for me, betting on the Map Overs might just be a waste of money too, since it's kinda more of going to be a coinflip.

Team Secret did well against Team Liquid.

Winning with two consecutive games have removed them from the lowest 2 and that's going to make those teams there to be part of a degrade to division 2.

I like their first game and it was an easy one whilst the 2nd game, Liquid got the advantage at the early game but still Team Secret won't, thanks to Nisha's puck.

[STT]

Super simple but advance bet for favorites at IEM next Tues, comes to about 5x and since its all 1 map games I think thats quite risky.  But might work, the ranks arent really even but 1 map can be russian roulette.

Also similar odds is a bet on 3 maps for both games of Big vs c9 and Astralis vs Faze somehow that also is rated unlikely but still seems close to possible to me

This is what I’m expecting on the new team secret since they already have a reliable carry that think out of the box. Crystallis is so strong and consistent as pos 1 while Nisha is already backed on his original mid lane position that he is very strong. Many questioned this deal before but I was a fan of Cristallis since he was on creepwave and entity because this guy is a hybrid consistent carry that can perform well even though his teammates is losing in there lanes. I expect more team secret now on there DPC tournament journey. Only OG beat them so far and I’m looking forward to there match against Tundra.

With the game one it is already in favor with the game of Team secret because they have the brittleback middle at the same time they make a pic of Timber plus viper this is super annoying and the team liquid cant do anything with it imagine if they lock up with the clockwork and the sustain with the IO i guess in the second game team liquid have a higher chance to win because they have the troll but the late game goes on and the TA cant do anything against the clash with the Puck of nisha well deserve that the Team secret win this series.

[boltz]

Few games today that deserve to place bets on them so I might skip this next few days and take a break from Dota 2 games. Besides Entity - Tundra, that could end with a quick 2-0 from Tundra , there are no other hyped up games as we had yesterday a lot of big games and I was right when I said that Secret might take 2-0 on Liquid but naive me took Liquid on 2nd map to win and wasted all my winning from Dota 2 games in the last days (.

Team Secret already lost to Tundra 1-2. Tundra was just too strong for this Team Secret version (playing without Yapzhor). Though Team Secret managed to steal game 2, they were not allowed anymore by Tundra to another long game in game 3. Team Secret also lost to red-hot Entity 1-2. They only have 2 remaining matches against Gaimin Gladiators and goonsquad. It is near to impossible now for Team Secret to qualify in this year's last major. And this might cost them TI for the first time in many years. Unless their region's top teams will have a strong finish in Arlington Majors and gain automatic invitations.

Astralis are playing good cs lately, and it seems like FaZe finally found their mojo and are back on the winning track. I think Astralis can win a map today and take this series to the decider. Cloud9 though are smurfing right now, -1.5 handicap at these odds is good value imo (but knowing my luck with BIG in my betslips, they'll prolly win 2-0  )


also, blameF has been popping off lately, over 18.5 kills x1.8 odds sounds like free money but i'd wait for map picks

Given how the tournament have mostly turned out, I think the odds for BIG and Astralis are somewhat generous and could be worth a punt, however, I settled for both teams to pick up at least one map each + Fnatic to win ML in the Republeague vs ex-MAD Lions for a combined over 3.7+ Odds.

BIG vs Cloud 9 is about to get underway already.

Dota 2 Dreamhack Dota 2 DPC West Europe

Right now team Tundra Esports VS Entity is having a match as we speak I really think that Tundra Entity can win this and with their new player Martin Sazdov AKA Saksa that recently joined on February 22, 2022, and right now they are on the 1st match Entity has a line up of Enigma, Winter Wyvern, Boodseeker, Clockwerk, and Tiny, While Tundra Esports has a line up of Rubick, Warlock, Bristleback, Necrophos, and Lycan and I am watching the live streaming right now, I think Tundra Esports may have a chance, with Necrophos against a Tiny, and I have bet for Tundra Esports, for this game to win, and right now skiter gets the 1st blood and I will wait for what may happen and who's going to win,

The next game will be against

Ivy VS Into The Breach

Active Players for Ivy are

• lowskill - Kaszas Tamas
• Mo13ei - Fabian Knehr
• Max - Bektur Kulov
• Qupe - Jan Tinnemeier
• jmvincento - Jonas Vincent Matz

Active Players for the Into The Breach are

• Otaker - Roman Aliullov
• Supream^ - Ondřej Štarha
• Xibbe - Andreas Ragnemalm
• Ari - Matthew Walker
• Kidaro - Ivan Bondarev

I will go with Ivy for this game, they become the 1st on ESL Meisterschaft Spring 2022 on May 1, 2022 so I will going with that,

We'll see next week, I think it'll be close if Team Secret manages to surprise us with another win and at the same time Team Liquid's struggles continue against Entity.

Tuned in to the Roobet match for a bit and was surprised to see Cloud9 fell flat against BIG they can't even win on their own map pick when BIG hasn't played Inferno for several months. The series could've gone to a third map if they manage to win at least one of the two pistol rounds.

On the side of League, both underdogs came out on top as DRX lost against Sandbox and Kwangdong Freecs pulled a big upset against T1 and broke their long series win streak. Now GenG is the only team in the LCK that hasn't lost so far.

[Harkorede]

(but knowing my luck with BIG in my betslips, they'll prolly win 2-0  )

And it's happened! another sweep from the underdogs, I thought slotting in k1to might disrupt their chemistry but I was wrong, the first map was a complete annihilation, and Cloud9 had no answers whatsoever to BIG aggression, the final score of the map doesn't even do justice to how the game started to be fair.

Honestly, many are not impressed with Crystallis. No doubt that he's a good pos 1 but he's still in adjustment phase and hasn't show the full potential of him.

Only OG beat them so far and I’m looking forward to there match against Tundra.

You're wrong on this mate. You look at their standing and many teams have already beat them since they've got a roster change and yapzor still hasn't played. So there's a lot of adjustment for them on this DPC season.

Ah yes. I overlooked the leaderboard and view the standings of Entity instead of team Secret since that is his previous team. Yes Cristallis is still in adjustment phased but soon he will be play properly with his team mates since they already show some progress by beating team liquid with clutch games.

Tundra is still dominating the WEU div1 dpc tournaments while team liquid is the only one that best them so far. Entity has the chance to sweep them on the recent match but they Entity show a bad draft on both game 2 and 3 which is the reason why Tundra got them a reverse sweep.

good 'ol shitty NA tier Cloud9 is back! well, come on Astralis, just win one map so i can forget about this roobet 322 cup    dota and LoL, here i come

[STT]

Its the curse of cloud9  why would this happen, neither team is close to the too often derpy NA tactics that slide into 2-0 failures like this.    Thats a loss for me, Faze and Astralis both got a map as all good teams should unless really pressed.   I think Hobbit and company messed up personally I didnt even require a win just put up a fight, not sure what the problem is but they are off my reliable list.

Bad News Eagles over Finest but to be honest Im not completely familar with Finest (twist of couse yes) and why they are rated/ranked so highly already,

[CLS63]

We are getting close to the end of the Roobet Cup now. The first semi-final draw has been completed. BIG managed to become victorious against Cloud9 by 2-0 (16-9, 16-12). This was a little surprising to me honestly. Because Cloud9 have been doing really well and they were the champions of the IEM Dallas 2022 tournament also. I expected them to perform more than this as a result. But they couldn't resist BIG much. And now the winner of the Astralis - FaZe draw is going to face BIG in the final. It is 1-1 currently and we are on Dust 2. I think FaZe will manage to make it. After BIG defeated them in the group stage by 2-1 they might want to have their revenge.
