Dang only 1.85 in Rollbit but yeah this is pretty much the only decent game that I would bet and watch. The other game pretty much are kinda unpredictable because alot can happen in qualifiers tournament

This is already a good deal for an over 2.5 maps on this match because we know how close this match will gonna be based on there records unless GG will show again an upset match since they are always doing this in every tournament that they manage to have a good run on upper bracket. Over 2.5 is the safest bet with this match.

[tomahawk9]

alright! had a rough couple of days, but it feels good to start winning some bets again

I had Gen G -1.5 as well and with all these clean wins coming from them it'll be interesting to see their second series against T1 this weekend.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a multi between Kwangdong and Damwon @1.80 since the handicaps are too risky to go for as Damwon's last two series went through all three maps while Kwangdong is on a 4 series losing streak.

taking the handicap for DWG is asking for troubles, learned that lesson the hard way a few weeks ago (btw, they just lot 0-2 to KT lol).
However I did take KDF to win live and that was a match really close match, that second game was the definition of 'how to throw a completely winnable game', thanks BRO!



Gen.G v T1 🔥 i'm thinking +2.5 maps or Gen.G. I know the H2h favors T1, but Gen.G are such a powerhouse, so hard to bet against them. T1 to win at 2 odds is something you don't see very often so i wouldn't be surprised to hear people betting their house on T1 

oi, don't forget we're gonna have an absolute banger on LPL, RNG vs JDG 🔥🔥 i'll go with RNG

CS GO: G2 are on the verge of replacing JACKZ with JKS.

Wtf? this is such a massive downgrade. Well, i guess from now on we'll see G2 in shitty ass tier 3 tournaments, Malta Vibes, Pinnacle cup, stuff like that  

in other news, Spinx will join Vitality and replace misutaa. Rumours began last week that ENCE's best player was on Vitality's radar, but some recent reports are saying that it's a done deal and an official announcement will be made soon on Vitality's website. Now THAT is an upgrade 👀 Hopefully they'll bench botApex and find a proper IGL

Totally agreed. I don't think that jks is better than JACKZ now. Maybe he is younger than JACKZ (jks-26, JACKZ-30). However I don't like jks' performance as much as JACKZ. G2 would need a not only younger but also more talented player to replace JACKZ now. They need to carry their current level to a higher one not lower. They haven't been successful at all despite having a wonderful player like m0nesy.

I think it would be a good move for Vitality to get one of the strongest players at ENCE. They also need to improve their game and this transfer can be helpful for that.

G2 is a sinking ship. Literally a place to waste talented players. They got Niko and m0nesy, Aleksib's brain, Jacks and hunter are decent too but somehow, the team can not find a well deserved victory at major for that rooster.
btw, stewie is retired from CSGO and will be a content creator for Valorant. NA CSGO looks grim, most pro players in NA CSGO either retired or become Valorant pros.

G2 to sign HooXi on a pemanent basis report. I think the top five were completed together with hooxi after Jks transfer. I don't know what the real problem is in G2, but as you said, they spent all their talents and I can say that most of the money was blocked in this team. It seems to me that gamers often have problems with Niko. Stewie continues with twitch streams, less stress I guess better for him.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Bells are ringing for G2 indeed. They have had really poor tournaments lately and they absolutely need some change now. If they are thinking of replacing JACKZ with someone then that player must be a more skilled one. They can surely find a better player than jks so I hope that they don't sign him. Otherwise not much thing would change for this team. Aleksib is also speculated to be changed soon but I wonder if they have some other IGL in their mind now. If they are able to find a better IGL then no problem.

Well yeah its pretty much industry standard for over 2.5 maps in dota and Im happy as long as Im getting atleast 1.7 for this type of 'safe' bet. I was just quoting Trofo because he wrote that it was 1.95. Well its probably around 1.9 or something and it was a last minute bet for me so the odds could have been dropping because of it

Anyway, glad that the ticket won

This could be another over 2.5 maps tomorrow, GG vs BetBoom

ESL One Malaysia China closed qualifier is now on the final round, the grand finals. The winner will get the slot into the ESL One Malaysia, the main tournament.

Remaining teams are LBZS and Team Aster.

Within the next few minutes, the grand finals is about to start and it's a best of 3 series. So, if you're looking for something to watch some actions for Dota 2, Aster is a good team but I haven't followed a lot with LBZS.

Rooting for Aster.

[boltz]

Team Aster already won the 1st map and I think they started 2nd map perfectly and it should be a 2-0 in this B05 finals. The odds are 1.1 in this right moment for Aster so I don't think there is any chance of comeback and even if a comeback happens , it won't last long as Aster simply has skilled players with Monet leading the pack.

US is too strict on their visa issuance even if there's a valid reason or if Valve would like to still stay with the US hosting their majors. They should help and back up the qualifying teams and players and help them approve their visas.

Kinda understandable if we are few years back because back then everyone pretty much wants to move into US so they are pretty strict but honestly right now, why would someone wants to move in there and be poor. No offence to my fellow Americans mate, its just some harmless jokes  

Well, there's some reality that you've said about that. The agency issuing visa should understand that these people aren't just computer gamers or geeks, they're professional esport athletes and sadly, too many of them weren't granted. Just like raven who's been in TI many times and also has been in the US to compete tournaments.

Just some news about ana, he's going to play for RNG as stand-in carry for this major.

This young lads seems to be serious on getting back as a pro huh, he kept on standing in for different teams

We don't know. It's because that he's flexible and can play with any team that would ask him. Maybe, he's also just preparing for the bigger stage so he's setting himself for these teams that are asking him to play as stand-in.

What are the esports that are discussed this time?. Are there any discussiond about Dota 2 or other egames that are popular by many people. I was planning to go to a sportsbook that I can bet on popular esports. I can't guess what esports are discussed based on the latest reply since I am not familiar with the said player.

Using google is a pretty easy fix for your problem. If you really follow the game, you would already have an idea on what the game is based on the name of the tournament. Not that hard to know honestly.

It totally varies depending on which tournament/qualifiers that is currently ongoing and the interest varies of people in this thread as well so there are lots of different discussion. Most of the time, its either Dota or CSGO though because those two has the most ongoing tournaments right now but yeah if you check the OP for the schedule then you would know

However I did take KDF to win live and that was a match really close match, that second game was the definition of 'how to throw a completely winnable game', thanks BRO!

DWG deserved that loss for pushing the same draft twice in a row while KT held long enough until their comp goes online.

That second map between KDF was unbelievable, I thought it's going to be a clean 2-0 for BRO since they're up so much but their carry was careless and got picked off at the start of the fights. 

[vennali]

Congratulations to Team Solo Mid for qualifying to the ESL One Malaysia after beating Quincy Crew 3-2 in the finals of the Qualifiers. A lot of the games were 1 sided in favor of one or the other. It felt like both teams are almost equally skilled but the drafts decided how the games went.

[tomahawk9]

a clean 2-0 for BRO

did you watch their game today? a clean 2-0    man, Nongshim are shite

1.66 odds vs. brion, i thought well nongshim just beat Liiv sandbox, they're starting to look more solid, surely they can grab another win today against the second worst team in the league

literally me after that first kill in game 2:

HooXi is a benched player at Copenhagen Flames now and I've also heard about this news. Frankly, his general performance hasn't been very impressive in the recent times. Therefore I have doubts about if he is the right choice for a much bigger team like G2. Because G2's main concern is to rise from their bad condition finally. They can do this by only transferring impressive and useful players in this game. I hope that I'm just prejudiced about these transfers now and they can surprise me. They really need a push in the closest big tournament to make a comeback.

I had to check liquipedia when I read this because I thought that this is some random teams from the open qualifiers lol. Turned out its one of the NA region regular powerhouse TSM

PGL Arlington Major 4th - 14th August
Gamers Galaxy Thailand 16th - 20th August

You can just look with our discussions and you'll see Dota 2 and csgo topics on this thread.

I can't guess what esports are discussed based on the latest reply since I am not familiar with the said player.

You don't have to guess, you can easily figure out what esports player has been mentioned by just looking it out on google. There are wikipedias for esports where you can find  them easily.

Like: liquipedia.

It contains almost all esports wikipedias that has information for players, teams, tournaments and other information.

The odds are 1.1 in this right moment for Aster so I don't think there is any chance of comeback and even if a comeback happens , it won't last long as Aster simply has skilled players with Monet leading the pack. 

It was actually a straight map for them. Looks like an easy three wins for them and secured a slot to the ESL One Malaysia. I've just figured out why LBZS has always picked Zeus and then it's not working on them honestly.

Also, they let Aster picked Puck and they don't have a hero that can catch and disable it easily. They've got Marci for "stun" but that's not really enough to catch this slippery hero, puck.

I just can't think of how they have thought during those picks.

[ralle14]

did you watch their game today? a clean 2-0    man, Nongshim are shite

I did watch but I didn't saw that sweep coming I thought Fredit Brion would take one map at the very least given their recent performance. One day Nongshim showed some signs of life then the next day they get smashed by Fredit Brion.

On the other hand, it was refreshing to see Fredit Brion get their second win as they're slowly improving even though they don't have anything to play for at this point.
