i was really close to going full Dota today with +1.5 Goonsquad and Gaimin Gladiators, dodged a bullet
huge game for Liquid tomorrow, if they lose they'll go to a tiebreaker, right?

Yup, if they lose against OG they'll join the tiebreaker together with Entity and Secret.

Damn Secret is still alive and kicking. Is it really possible for OG to not play seriously against Liquid in order to further diminish Team Secret's chances of joining the upcoming last majors? OG only needs 1 DPC point and it will be secured to TI already.

In the Chinese region, LGD played seriously against RNG but they beat an already qualified RNG. So I believe they need to lose against Aster then? I'm thinking of betting big for Aster because I still feel LGD is giving the other teams a chance to collect points in this last major in order to qualify for TI. But there's still the slim possibility that LGD will play seriously and wins the series. And they will chill only during the tiebreakers.

In every tournament secret team always gives a surprise at the end because they understand how to show their skills sometimes they already understand all the strategies of the opposing players, at least playing the game quickly and always attacking simultaneously will make it easier to win, while what I observed LGD has a style Very good game and there is still potential to win.

There was a big change in Eternal fire. Paz, maj3r and coach hardstyle from the old space soldiers squad joined the team. xantares played with this trio before. I think this squad is the best squad in Turkey again. But there may be problems at first. After all, this trio was continuing its path in valorant. I think it was good for them and the fans to return to cs:go again. They have the ESL tournament ahead of them. Until then they have to prepare hard and we will expect them to represent us well.

Eternal Fire have made a wonderful change. I think that they definitely needed it. Because something was going on really wrong with the team. There were huge strategy problems and I thought that it was related to the coach as well. So I'm happy that they have changed the coach with one of the bests in Turkey, hardstyle. I'm very excited about the MAJ3R and paz additions to the team also. These were doing awesome in the legendary Space Soldiers roster. It's not good to see xfl0ud being benched but he can still come back later on. I hope to see this team at much higher levels in time from now on.

The IGL and coaching shortage was clearly evident in the team. I'm really happy that j3r and hardstyle returned to the csgo arena as much as they did. As for the change between Paz and xfloud, I think this is how they decided to balance the decreasing firepower in the team. Calyx was a strong player and when they replaced him with j3r, firepower dropped. Paz will increase this firepower. But after valorant, they might have some trouble. They may need time.

we have Secret vs Goonsquad and this is a revenge game as Goonsquad beat Secret in their last face-off.

I thought this is the first time these two teams will meet as Goonsquad came from the second division last tour. Anyway, hoping for a clean 2-0 Secret win since every other good team in their region took them down 2-0.

After the Secret vs Goonsquad series, there's also Tundra vs Gladiators later. Tundra's handicap @2.02 seems tempting but I feel like they'll drop a map now that they've qualified.

Yes , the revenge spot was competed and Secret took a clean 2-0 victory and they send Goonsquad to fight for relegation spot. Then we had Tundra vs Gladiators yes , and in the end Tundra won by 2-0 and sent Gladiators to fight with Goonsquad to avoid relegation to Div 2.

Another great game and series was Nouns vs 5RatForce and even if Nouns dropped the 1st map , they cameback and won by 2-1 and they are officially waiting for EG vs Quincy and if EG wins they will go to fight for Major spot against Nouns but if QC wins , Nouns are auto qualified to Major.

The esl challenger melbourne continues today.
In the match between Formel and Entropiq, the entropiq team is already the heavy favorite. I don't think there will be any surprises.In the other lower bracket match between two Russian teams, forze is the stronger and more in form team. I think forze will eliminate k23.In the upper bracket match, there is a sprout-Heet match. Obviously, it is worth saying that both sides have the potential to win. But I think I would prefer sprout.

i was on a winning streak until JDG dropped a map against RA yesterday and my ticket lost,,
no worries, couple of winning singles today to lift the spirit:

The classic 2-1 by JDG they've been like that for the past few weeks, it seems like they prefer a closer series over a clean 2-0.  

huh, i didn't pay attention to JDG's recent record, i just saw RA and went for a 2-0

however, i did my homework today on the LCK and Gen.G, didn't fall for Liiv Sandbox overperforming  


now i'm just waiting for forZe to win their match and i'll win my 1.77 double. K23 just got deleted on their map 16-1, forZe's map pick should be a cakewalk. EDIT* forZe dogshit team from 7-1 lead to losing map, 322 lol
Ez Liquid 'to win a map' in such a crucial game

Another great game and series was Nouns vs 5RatForce and even if Nouns dropped the 1st map , they cameback and won by 2-1 and they are officially waiting for EG vs Quincy and if EG wins they will go to fight for Major spot against Nouns but if QC wins , Nouns are auto qualified to Major.

I'm hoping QC wins this crucial series as they deserve to get one of the two spots more than EG since QC hasn't dropped a single map just yet.

 

Ez Liquid 'to win a map' in such a crucial game

I got in on the Liquid action as well, OG just casually gave out a quick 2-0 to Liquid to prevent the three-way tiebreaker and with the way they draft throughout the series it felt like they want to stop Secret from qualifying.

I'm also having a little doubt about that. paz is still young actually. I mean he is younger than XANTARES now. However I can't say the same thing for MAJ3R. He is 31 years old and I wonder if his aim is still solid now. On the other hand he has been brought for the IGL role in the team as well. If we take this into account we can still say that they are good now. MAJ3R's leadership will play a much bigger role than being one of the top fraggers. They needed a proper IGL like him.

Yes, j3r is really the best turkish igl. There was no other choice. Even if there is, there is a language problem in the team. Xantares and imor don't have enough English as far as I know. Paz is a good player. But maybe going through valorant might be a bit of a problem for him. We will see this in the nearest tournament. In August esl season 16 starts. Most probably the team will prepare full focus until then. I hope they will have a good success with a good work. J3r will have the chance to play with a good awper this time.

Exciting match ahead on WEU DPC points which OG and Team Liquid  will be fight for securing the top spot. There is currently no available odds for this match because thegame will happen on July 13 but I’m wondering what will be the odds for team liquid +1.5 on this match. I’m confident OG will have the odds advantage because they are the Major Champion but I still believe on Liquid that they can get a single match win against OG.

This will be a crucial fight because OG only lose is from Tundra while Tundra only lose is from Liquid. This happened before on WEU wild card which this 3 teams fight each other give same result. If my assumption is right, OG will defeat Team Liquid on this fight because they usually counter each other. Hahaha but +1.5 is a clever choice on this game, I’m just not sure if you can get a good odds for that regardless of what team you are betting. It's better to bet on over maps.

Sorry but I don't believe on this kind of analysis because it's still a different team while there match to other team doesn't affect the result of the upcoming match. I only based my prediction on the actual comparison of each team roster. I still preferred +1.5 to Liquid since it will be in favor for if the game result to Team Liquid win or atleast get 1 game compared to over 2.5 maps  because there is still a chance that Liquid can sweep OG if they have good draft.

Congratulations mate for winning this bet if you manage to place a bet on this game. I clearly underestimated Team Liquid this time because OG seems very strong in this league. Team Liquid lose to much weaker team like Goonsquad which I make as basis to my assessment to this match. Team Liquid get most of there best hero which punish OG with meh line up.

[arallmuus]

Yup, if they lose against OG they'll join the tiebreaker together with Entity and Secret.

Damn Secret is still alive and kicking. Is it really possible for OG to not play seriously against Liquid in order to further diminish Team Secret's chances of joining the upcoming last majors? OG only needs 1 DPC point and it will be secured to TI already.

Well actually the result for OG vs Liquid wont really affect Team Secret. OG lost the game therefore there will be 2nd-3rd place tiebreaker between OG and Liquid once again, the result wont affect OG at all because they have secured both Major spot as well as TI11 spot

As for Team Secret, they will be playing against entity for the 4th-5th place tiebreaker. Winner of this tiebreaker will be getting the last spot for Major well in this case both teams need it badly to improve their chance for TI11 so this is going to be interesting game on Saturday but I doubt we'll be able to bet on tiebreakers though

[YuginKadoya]

Great match! here is the result of my picks for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Hanwha Life Esports VS T1 SCORE 1 - 2 - WIN

It was a sweet 1st map win for T1 for HLE, on the blue team DUDU is using (Azir) ONFLEEK is using (Lucian) KARIS is using (Nami) CHEONI is using (Jax) while VSTA is using (Xin Zhao) and T1 on the red team ZEUS is using (Seraphine) ONER is using (Lee Sin) FAKER is using (Gwen) GUMAYUSI is using (Ezreal) while KERIA is using (Karma) it was really a good strategy for T1 winning on Map 1 with Hanwha got 54.5K gold, 8 kills, and 4 towers while T1 got 62.3K, 11 kills and 11 tower winning Map 1, Then HLE winning Map 2 and coming to T1 into full force, Hanwas Winning Map 2 with 70.7k Gold, 20 kills, and 11 towers, while in Map 3 the situation is different and T1 manage to win via 62.7k Gold, 16 kills and 10 Tower, surely a win T1 deserves,

GEN. G VS SANDBOX SCORE 2 - 0 - WIN

GEN.G total annihilation on SANDBOX have proven their domination, it was a one-sided game they gotten all win against SANDBOX, on game 1 the game stats was 44.7k Gold, 16 Kills, and 9 Tower for GEN.G while 26.9k Gold, 1 Kill and 0 Tower for SANDBOX, in map 1 you can see how the level of play GEN.G have and on game 2 the game was a close match I think GEN.G has shown mercy the game stat was 59.7k gold, 18 kills, and 9 tower, while SANDBOX have 51.2k Gold, 14 kills and 3 towers, GEN. G have lowered their output but still wins the game,

In this pro scene career of dots we still see the team secret part of the International but not a champion from the recent game of the TS against GoonSquad the game is already in favor with the GS because of the Puck rotation with the Clockwork combo Nisha can't do anything with the early game with the TA but because of the shard upgrade it is easier to them to pick up kills with the silence, slow and trap damage. As always poppey making a unique draft to outplayed their enemy that's why they manage to win the 2-0 series

[Harkorede]

After 13 weeks as the No 1. Team in the world ranking NaVi have finally replaced FaZe as the best CS:GO team in the world, and it's literally understandable, even though both teams have quite a chance of facing each other in the grand final of the IEM, FaZe have been no where near their usual best, however, I'd expect how either team performs in the tournament to have effect on the next ratings.

[arallmuus]

After winning all those previous games flawlessly, Nigma just had to do me dirty like that. They could have won the game, it was a pretty close one but I mean its rough when they were so close on winning it. The combined odds were decent though, also have two other tickets that has Nigma -1.5 in it that ended up losing before the other games even start lol

[execijutiere]

We are approaching the last matches of the esl challenger melbourne qualifying tournament. Tomorrow the winner of the entropiq-Heet match will play against sprout. The winner of this match will also qualify for the tournament.
Another important match tomorrow in the sazka ecup tournament. Enterpise-SinnerS match. As I expected, they faced each other in the final. There is a high chance that the winner of the match will be sinners, but enterpise can sometimes get opposite results.

[STT]

After 13 weeks as the No 1. Team in the world ranking NaVi have finally replaced FaZe as the best CS:GO team in the world

 I think Navi retains the highest skill level but not the consistency perhaps.   Navi lost one map to Movistar, I really should have bet 2-1 on that game and taken those odds;  I intend to try that more often.

ATK beats EG.pa quite easily as EG.pa plays the game without organization or strategy perhaps just aim based play which they are not good enough to get away with on this match.   EG couldnt defend a site vs ATK on pistol eco round, not looking good.

Over 2 maps for Astralis and Mouz as Astralis are weak enough at present for that happen and it might even be victory for Mouz.   I put Movi over Liquid, maybe 3 maps is a better bet but I think Movi deserve more faith in their wins.   I couldnt see the other games listed that I might bet on, might appear closer to match time.

[Peanutswar]

It's been a while since we see the QuincyCrew dominate the game and after a few months of wait, this is the best match between the EG I thought it is but with the first game it took 10 minutes without first blood, and the EG took down first towers and it is weird for the draft of QC they have. Support even with the use of the armor and stun only which is so useless in clash just a stun and armor nothing more, the same thing they make in the second match a razor position 5 that's the reason EG wins a clean sweep 2-0 to them.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game on League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

kt Rolster VS DragonX

Stake odds for this game are 2.90 for kt Rolster while 1.37 for DragonX, right now kt Rolster has 3 wins and 5 losses, that is a lot of losses for a team in the Korean league, now DMX or DragonX has 5 wins and 3 losses, making this team very opposite and that is why DragonX is the favorite to win, I think both teams have healthy players and could play for this game, for me I will pick for DragonX winning this I think it will be 1 - 2 score,

Damwon Gaming VS Freecs

Stake odds for this game are 1.24 for Damwon while 3.80 for Freecs, this is going to be an interesting match Damwon Gaming now have 5 wins and 3 losses, while Freecs has 4 win and 4 losses, the game can become very close depending on both teams strategy, this is the first time these 2 teams would clash, so it is very interesting, Damwon has 5 wins can if they can win this against Freecs they will hold 6 wins, for me I am very Curious on what may win here, but I will go and bet for the favorites, Damwon Gaming

[sunsilk]

The Sea DPC tour is exciting now. The last game will be played later and it's Fnatic and T1. The twist on this match is if Fnatic losses on the series, there will be a triple tie-breaker for the 3rd slot for the major.

It will be, Fnatic, T1 and RSG which means that T1 is going to save themselves and RSG while pulling down Fnatic. But, if Fnatic wins the series, they'll take the 3rd slot for the Arlington major.

While T1 and RSG are automatically eliminated.
