Good start to Faze vs Navi as a neutral supporter. A close game in the first map itself while it being a Best of 5. We could be in for a long night, if Faze plays CT side well on Inferno. Which would get them to win map 1. Navi have some really good t strats for inferno though + the firepower. Should be fun.

Final has delivered some great CS so far and I am thinking this could go all the way. We already sow some great individual play as well and I expect some more heroics especially from s1mple as the stakes rise. Currently it is 1:1 in maps with both teams taking their map picks.

My bet is for NaVi ML so I hope the time has come for them to shift into higher gear and resolve this without too much drama.

We asked for a thrilling final, and that's what we've gotten so far here.. NaVi are now in the lead but it's been a really topnotch performance from FaZe they definitely are not backing out from the fight.

Let's see if they can force the 5th map.

[Eternad]

What the sheep, Faze erase the 2 digit deficit by Navi on the match point? 

I was cooking my late night dinner when I stop watching to do my cooking since Navi already on match point while Faze is just 5 or 4 points something and Navi has the economy to close the game. I was surprised that the match is already forced to over time.

I guess I will watch the replay while waiting for map 4. This finals is really a closed fight! Glad I watch it even its dawn in our country.

Bad news eagles, as I said, defeated both eclot and ungentium and won a ticket to the tournament.

The Faze-NaVi battle continues. NaVi leads 2-1. But it looks like it's going to go down to the last mape. Faze resisted more than I expected. Honestly, I expected him to win 3-1 navi at worst. Mirage was picked by navi but they didn't play well. If they had, they would have won 3-1. I think it was also a problem for NaVi that it came down to the last match. Faze nuke also has a good percentage.

This one is going to the wire. Last map, Nuke, lead swinging all the time. NaVi looked out of it and now they look closer to winning it, but how it's going I except more swings and maybe extra time. Proper final, gave us everything we could wish for and then some.

In the final of another tournament, once again FaZe managed to beat Navi in the final and they became the champions of the IEM Cologne tournament, congratulations Faze. IEM katowice won the Majors and Cologne tournaments and FaZe has taken a big lead in the last tournaments. I think this tournament should be the MVP Twist. This could be the best tournament of his career. The splits he made in the last Nuke map were very good and thanks to these splits, the map came

[ingiltere]

Nuke is one of my favorite maps and it was the decider map after 2-2. It was a very close game and Faze won again. I was late to first maps of the grand final but that last map was a big joy to watch. IEM Cologne 2022 champion Faze showed that they have a great squad and in the important moments they made good calls, especially Twistzz as some of you already pointed out. Well deserved title, guys.

I'm a CS player before and I don't usually watch CSGO games but when I've watched a while ago, I'm totally hyped. It had brought me the same hype as it got with other esports that I follow.

Congratulations to Fazeclan and I'll say congratulations still to NaVi too.

I guess I'll follow more CSGO games again as I've enjoyed watching it.

Here is my pick for League of Legends Champions Korea 2022  Highlighted in green are my pick

I also had those two but in a parlay, the odds are low even in the handicap but it's great that most of the top teams in LCK are so consistent in taking down weaker teams.



I haven't placed any bets on the IEM finals but i'm rooting for Navi to deny Faze's Intel grand slam since they're one grand final win away from securing an extra million dollars.

LCK games were really consistent with their win, you just have to look for certain odds, or just look if that team was dominant with the other teams, you will surely notice who will surely win depending on the Teams that have many wins pretty much other teams needs to invest on training more players that have potential like the team of T1 and GEN.G

Sad to say but FaZe Clan has won against Na'Vi it was a best-of-5 match and likely Map 1 was a close match even though S1mple got the most kills of 25 FaZe Clan simple had the upper hand when they got the all-around score for their team, but Na'Vi tried to recover their lost on Map2 by simply getting many kills than FaZe, Map 3 was a win for Na'Vi again they are slight dominant with the overall, but Map 4 was tragic for Na'Vi that Faze pretty much got the upper hand, and FaZe have close a win on Map 5 by winning a close game with Na'Vi it was really an exciting game to watch and if I would include the highlights of the game this post will surely become more than 1 page for this thread, I also never though that FaZe could make a come back and have consecutive wins for Map 4 and 5,

[inthelongrun]

So in the Chinese regional qualifier, powerhouse LGD went with my so-called plan B, join the tiebreakers and remove the no-hoper Aster.Aries. My bad. I lost that Aster bet as LGD just blitzkrieg their way to 2-0, both maps ended in less than 30 minutes. That's how good LGD is. And then they threw, I mean they lost to Aster in the tiebreakers. Too bad there aren't 1 map odds in my bookie. And it's annoying when they just forfeited to Extreme. I hope Valve will remove the right to forfeit.

Yeah what a final that was yesterday, really awesome CSGO matches. Best of 5 finals are always more interesting than best of 3 matches. After the first 3 maps I thought it's over for me and NaVi would win this tournament. Even though NaVi is the best team in the world I bet on FaZe for the final. Similar to the PGL Antwerp final I thought that FaZe would pull through and win. Surprisingly only one map went into overtime. Winning two maps in a row after being down 2-1 is a very strong performance. To be honest FaZe looked stronger during the tournament, they didn't lose a single map until the finals, whereas NaVi lost a map to Movistar Riders and to MOUZ. Kind of funny that the two teams always meet in the finals this year, the Major won Faze, then NaVi won the Blast Spring Series and now Faze won again. I guess next tournament NaVi will win again.

Another top performance from S1mple throughout the tournament but it was 2nd best in the finals. Broky, Rain, Twistzz and Ropz all performed when it mattered and good shot calling by Karrigan for them to win the IEM Cologne. Navi were on an 8 match win streak before this match and S1mple bagged the MVP award for the tournament. There has been very few superstar teams that actually worked and there's a decent case for new Faze lineup to turn into a beast, post Niko transfer. Looking forward to more tournaments.

Truly the worse curse in CS:GO for the MVP players. You won the MVP prize but your team lost the grand final. Twistzz sad face over the MVP prize when he was under Liquid banner but now, he won the grand final under FazeClan as a team. Only in CS:GO can have this kind of twist no pun intended, lol.

Here is the result for the League of Legends Champions Korea on July 17, results

Damwon Gaming VS Brion Esports SCORE 2 - 0 - WIN

Gen.g Esports VS Nongshim Redforce SCORE 2 - 0 - WIN

Well pretty much these two events are really predictable most of the time LCK games you will know who's going to win by seeing who is at the top of the standings, and for these, two I only count the number of wins and losses for teams, then getting the odds for the given event and that is it you can surely know who's going to win, I picked correct score in the map and put 2 - 0 for Damwon Gaming and 2 - 0 for Gen.G to win on Stake.com, and it was the right choice,

In the next match for League of Legends Champions Korea on July 20, I really think it will be another easy result so I am sure will share my pick and what type of gambling I will bet on Stake.com,

had a pretty good run during IEM Cologne. Made a deposit during the 2nd round of Group B, since then (adding a few LPL and LCK tickets):



9 days, 14W, 3L, avg odds: 1.73, avg bets per day: 2 (i didn't count a dumb multi, meh, damn u ForZe lol). 'Player Total Kills' was by far my most profitable market, bookies were too generous on FaZe's individual performances throughout the whole tournament, Twistzz and Rain gave me a lot of wins. overall,

Twistzz sad face over the MVP prize when he was under Liquid banner but now, he won the grand final under FazeClan as a team.

best thing he could've done was leaving Liquid and NA. He's now showing his true potential, that play in round 29 of Nuke was insane https://youtu.be/Xn-bGsnfu9w?t=5542 to do that in such a crucial moment

I mean, that old Liquid team had the potential with Elige and Naf + young stewie being the smoke criminal. They did win a major together but they were just getting out stratted by other teams. Something about EU strats being better than anywhere else in the world. It's just a lot more reliable.

The reason why i watch CSGO is because of the team Liquid we know the capabilities of Twistzz to play in the game with the clutch situations well deserved the MVP, its been a while that i saw Simple recently in the picture, we know how simple create and perform unbelievable shot like the legendary throwing of AWP in the Dust 2 well deserved of this play hoping that Liquid can get in again recently they lose with the 2:0 series in Movistar riders.

Just wondering what bookies do you use. Seems pretty neat to be showing all that win/lose status in all one spot.


Riyadh Master in two days for DOTA, some of the teams will be playing with stand-in for some reasons but yeah its still going to be a top tier dota with all those top teams in one place for some offline venue game. There will be lots of variance on this obviously so consider this as some sort of warm up game for the Major but hey the prizepool is triple of what the Major gave though ( not sure if this is an actual money or its going to be some sort of donation for charity )

It made me think that there are teams that are qualified for both tournaments, the Arlington major and as well as Riyadh Masters. As the Riyadh Masters going first with the schedule, once it's done.

Those teams that are also qualified for the Arlington got a very few days of taking rest and this might affect their performance. Am I just thinking too much and worrying for nothing? Because this Riyadh masters could drain them that much but anyway, it's going to be a quick tournament and also a good place to experiment before the major.
