Pretty unsure on what should I bet on as both my bets today was busted as I took over 2.5 maps for the lower bracket so here I thought that it would be better to take OG -1.5 against TP. SA teams are pretty much on a lower level compared to EU teams so I think this is a pretty reasonable bet as OG is quite the power house of this tournament

With the way they played yesterday, I am inclined to think that Thunder can go toe-to-toe against OG. I expect the match to go all the way to game 3. OG is the powerhouse but if TA playe as disciplined as they played yesterday, they can at least take a game from OG. I still expect for OG to go all the way to the Finals.

With Aster,. I am not betting on them. This is the stage of the tournament where they always fail to perform and choke. Besides, Secret is performing in top form. They dropped OG the other day, I expect them to perform the same intensity today.

2-0 TES already, but it's a bit of a stomp from JDG in game 3, reverse sweep??

They actually did it, what a series, I think TES should've closed the series after that big lead in game 4 but they were making so many mistakes in the later stages of the game and then they were caught off guard by the surprise engagement from JDG in the baron pit that led to 4 kills. In the last game, they also had an early big lead but JDG recovered after winning a crucial team fight in the mid-game.

I reckon about the teams in the group A. That bracket seems easy unlike on group B where most the actions are being done. OG, Nigma, Fnatic, Boom, TSM, Team Liquid. These are good teams and Boom has to say goodbye and the same goes for Team Liquid.
The remaining teams for the playoffs were already set. Currently, at the top bracket. Fnatic against Team Aster is already 1-0 in favor of Aster and OG against Team Secret 1-0 in favor of OG.

And it's done. Team Secret and Aster won 2-1 and they will move forward already securing a minimum 3rd place for them. All the teams I was rooting, they lost. OG is still favored to beat Nigma or TA but Fnatic will be facing the winner of 2 tough teams Entity and TSM.

Fnatic is already in and secured top 4. While Team Aster and Secret, they'll have a match again at the top bracket and both of them have secured top 3 already. So, win or lose, they're going to the lower bracket yet with secured top 3. Less than a day and we'll see these 4 teams clash again.
First, OG and Thunder Awaken then Team Aster and Team Secret. And whoever wins with the match of OG and Thunder Awaken will have to face Fnatic.

Fnatic is one of the conquering team right now imagine they win against Team Entity which is in the big team rising today. Does anyone make a bet? I make a match game winner and base on all drafting of the fnatic they make a good choice just they got caught by the faceless void in-game 1 but game 2 and 3 they commit a same hero pool and the MVP of this match is the Nyx of DJ he always caught a 3 man impale stun manage to win against the pudge carry well deserve with this team to win.

Vitality started to perform very well with spinx. For them, the misutaa-spinx change seems to have made a difference for now. Of course this is a big plus for them. Their firepower seems to have increased.
However, G2 still hasn't settled the team yet. The transfer of Hooxi and Jks honestly excited me a bit. But hooxi is very inadequate in terms of performance. We see that he was weak in finding frag compared to other igl's.

What a game between OG and Thunder Awaken.

Even when OG is dominating and has a huge gold lead, Thunder Awaken seems not to give up. Their perseverance, patience, and discipline enabled them to pick team fights and win despite their huge disadvantage. They even got the higher ground and push mid barracks against OG after a huge team fight. But one team rosh fight spelled disaster for Thunder. OG was able to secure the aegis with the well-timed and well-placed fissure by ES to block thunders from contesting the Rosh. After, that Ammar was able to kill TB with the help of aegis. Without aegis, they might not have been able to kill Terrorblade and they would have lost the team fight and the match.



OG is moving forward in the lower bracket. They will play against FNATIC later for the lower bracket semifinals.

I'm sure that many bets were saved by DJ yesterday. That were crazy games, Fnatic did picked the same heroes for game 2 and 3 and many have doubted it. But again, this is dota 2 and if it works, then it works!

OG is moving forward in the lower bracket. They will play against FNATIC later for the lower bracket semifinals.

Yes, after the match of Team Aster and Team Secret, they'll be next. And as of the moment, 1-0 in favor of Team Aster but let's see if this game 2 will be favoring Team Secret. What a game 1, I thought that it's Team Secret's game but Nisha started to choke and became too greedy and so the entire team choked.

spinx is a real hidden gem. Dude has an insane skill and very good aim. If you watch the last game between Vitality and G2 in map2, nuke. spinx made a running headshot that take me completely by surprise. Overall, 2-1 for Vitality of all 3 maps with spinx at the top frags and a rating at 1.4 (pic).
God damn, Vitality's future is secure if spinx keeps going like this. He can carry Vitality in case zywoo have a bad day. Tonight, Navi goes off against Vitality will be my main joy of the night. The odds seem heavily favor Navi but I think we'll have a close game between those two.

Team Secret have hard time in beating Team Aster. In the chat, many have been making fun of them that they're a choking team.

Well, I still have faith in them and they were just sent in the lower bracket. So, whoever wins with the next game with Fnatic and OG proceed to the next round versus Team Secret.

In a few moments now, OG and Fnatic game starts.

Choke or no choke , Team Aster played much more better than Secret today and Monet might be the best carry in the world right now or at least tight with Ame so no wonder why most of the fans are considering Ame vs Monet the best carry rivals in the last years.

It's still not over for Secret as they still have a chance from lower bracket when they most likely face OG as FNATIC are simply an amazing team to watch.

[Pulsar77]

Astralis - OG has started. OG were favoured by bookmakers interestingly. It must be related to the result OG got against FaZe. Very surprisingly they managed to beat FaZe 2-1. They were known by making difficulties for top tier teams but this was much more than the expectations obviously. But my prediction for this matchup is that Astralis will eliminate them after a tough series. I saw a great 2.20 odd for their win but I wasn't quick enough to bet on it unfortunately.

For the rest of the matches today my favourite sides are NaVi and Heroic. NaVi can beat this in-form Vitality in case s1mple is ready to play. Otherwise Vitality have a potential to prepare a surprise for us. Spinx's arrival has affected the team very positively. Heroic also don't have an easy matchup against Liquid but they have been playing really solidly against even the biggest teams so this is a matchup they can win too.

Aster showed strong in Arlington majors so before this tournament started I actually picked them together with OG and Entity as favorites to win. But I bet on Team Secret today. Aster was too focused and too clean against Secret. Even in game 1, Secret was successfully hunting Aster 1 by 1 early but the problem was they never actually checked on Monet and were giving him more space during that time to continue farming.

For now, it's OG vs Fnatic. I watched it but turned it off because it's becoming a mismatch. Fnatic hunted early but ended up getting killed. Come on SEA!

Expect Aster will choke ongrand finals. I always have faith on Monet and Ori to always choke during crucial games. I will bet on any teams against this chinese team in the finals because they always change there gameplay on game like this.

Fnatic manage to beat OG on game 1 which is surprising after a roller coaster round. I’m not sure if Fnatic can knock down OG but SEA team has a history of doing it before so maybe they can sweep OG on this LB round.

Kinda disappointed with FaZe too, although can't really blame them. Some of those mid-round movements from OG were quite unexpected and FaZe seemed to always go to a default play. Some of the outcomes were easily preventable, but man sometimes FaZe likes to run around and man up every situation wherein it isn't even needed. A lot of those things happened with karrigan and rain taking in on the open only to be overwhelmed or flanked by two guys from OG ready to trade.

[Distraction]

OG are on a very impressive run at the moment. They have done a great job against tier 1 teams for two rounds. First eliminating FaZe and now doing the same against Astralis. Beating Astralis by 2-0 is a big success also for them because Astralis have climbed to the 4th position in the ranking. It was like we started to see the old dominating Astralis back. flameZ take responsibility today by being top fraggers of both maps and he was the player of the game.


Heroic - Liquid and NaVi - Vitality are up next. Heroic and NaVi would be good choices at 1.65 and 1.50.

Funny thing on watching this match is how SEA team fans easily become bandwagon to the winning team. The crowd is cheering to Fnatic on game 1 and to the early portion of game 2 then after a long crowd silence, They support OG instead when Fnatic is already losing the game. Fnatic made a lot of mistakes on game 2 especially on how to lock down Ember that keeps picking there backline easily. I think Fnatic can manage to win game 2 if they play safe and don’t take those team fight iniated by OG after one of there team fight died.

Fnatic has no capability to shut down OG if they will just keep reacting on OG moves, They should be the one dictating the game if they really want to defeat OG because they have a very good foundation on handling close match like this.

I watch many games of Fnatic before and they mange to beat those higher rank teams by outplaying them. They are capable but they are just limited right now because they are playing with stand in pos1 that they only play for the purpose of this tournament only. I have trust on Palos capability as good carry and they will not be on this position if they are not strong enough to kick Entity and get 1 game to Aster.

We should trust Fnatic to do the impossible to beat OG on this tournament.

And there you have it. OG managed to shut down Fnatic's tournament dreams with a very convincing game 3. Lots of misplays from Armel and good catch by Chu's ES. Didn't have enough time to place my bets earlier today but if I were to bet I would have gone full OG money line @ 1.6. Fnatic has some good tricks up their sleeve but it's just too much for an incomplete Fnatic at this point. Props to them for still trying though and hopefully, a good TI run will be on their way.

[blue_hurricanger]

Liquid beat Heroic 16-6 on Vertigo, map pick by Liquid. The next map is Overpass and also Heroic map pick. Heroic has a very good record on Overpass which at 100% win rate in 5 maps while Liquid only at 50% win rate over 4 maps. Very likely Heroic going to win their map pick and we'll have to go to map3, Mirage to see who's going to pass the Knockout Stage or step down to the Last Chance Stagemet.

Sadly but true. I don’t know what’s happening to Armel on this match but he seems not focused on this match against OG. He keeps jumping on position without any vision despite his hero is very squeeshy. This is what I’m afraid on betting with Fnatic ML especially when they got the first game because they always become careless once they feel safe by securing 1 game hile OG is very good on reverse sweeping match.

Still ggwp for reaching 4th place on this tournament. I wonder on how far they will go on TI instead of Outsider.

[YuginKadoya]

After that long wait, we will have a game tomorrow and I think I will make my prediction this game right now is pretty much hard to predict and right now here is what I think and my pick for tomorrow's game League of Legends Champions Korea 2022

Gen.G VS T1

This is it I think this is going to be the best game in the League of Legends Champions Korea and the most awaited best of five games, between the number 1 on the standings Gen.G versus the number 2 on the Standings of LCK SK Telecom T1, This is pretty much the hard game to make a pick or to predict because of the history of this two teams, we all know T1 for having so much championship in the past and Gen.G that is very famous now and the number 1 in the standings today, but recalling the past game for these two they have clash one another on July 8, and T1 wins with 1 - 2 map score,

So that is a 1 game win against Gen.G, then on July 30 Gen.G dominated T1 with a 0 - 2 map score, so we have a 1 win T1 and 1 win Gen.G, so in this match anything is possible, but for me I really like T1 but stake odds for this game are 1.42 for Gen.G while 2.70 for T1 this is really a huge advantage for Gen.G but I would bet with 2 - 3 map Score with 6.40 odds, T1 win, I think this will be a close match and T1 will not let Gen.G do their way so I will be taking T1 side,
