I combined it with IG to win and technically Knights seems to be abit better but I'd love to add some variance onto this though as Im not really familiar with the CN region so I'd love to explore some weird combination I guess

Knights was totally better than Invictus Gaming. They were able to take the win against IG, 2-0. I thought IG could still win a map against the Knights, but the Knights were very disciplined in every engagement they make. They know when to engage or disengage every single time. Invictus needs to find answers to their weakness, or they will fail badly in this DPC round.

Anyone aware of Mansion Invitational? Just saw some post about Blacklist International dota 2 team which consist of Karl, Raven, Kuku, Tims and Eyyou. It is what I think the most hyped dota 2 team in PH right now but sadly the are eliminated in the first tournament they have joined which is Mansion Invitational. They are still a brand new team and I guess they are lacking the chemistry they need. I think they are still forgivable despite the elimination they have. I hope that they will do well in DPC if ever or I guess it's a early game over for them.

Yeah, they're hyped but I think it's normal for them to have this debut. It's not a DPC tournament but I guess they're still testing the waters and that's pretty normal for them.
When I'm looking for some dota 2 streamers, I always landed in most of them and I think that they're doing good individually but still need some refreshers as a team to have that bond, well, it's okay on their side and will for sure learn from this loss.

This is just the late 2016 TNC roster with the addition of Karl. They already have the chemistry and they already know how each other plays but perhaps the time they spent not playing as a team together really hurt that chemistry. They just need familiarity with each other's current plays but they can get this up to speed if they spend a lot of time playing scrims and joining minor tournaments. This team has a future in the SEA DPC, and a strong contender at that considering that a lot of SEA teams have reshuffled too.

Just for fun, I am betting on some games in Chinese Div 1 Winter Tour.

Since I am not well-versed in the current Chinese teams, I just took the favored team.

Good luck to anyone taking action in this Division.

That is a very long time ago. I do not even know if they are still up to date with the current meta. SEA is a weaker region, but the competition is still going to be tough. If they want to qualify for TI this year, it will be a lot of work.

Yeah they were totally much better and even the odds was lower on Knights end and I kinda predicted that it would be a close game between those two and perhaps IG could ended up winning on the 3rd map therefore I bet on them to win to add some variance into it merely because of the odds as well but yeah it was sucks though

We have started to see interesting names in top 20 players list in CS:GO.

I wasn't expecting to see KSCERATO and stavn in top 10 to be honest. Both players made a huge improvement in their performances in last months of 2022 though. But I don't know if they were both good enough throughout the year to deserve to be in top 10. Heroic had a really good time period for a long time so maybe this was also a factor in stavn's entering this area. But KSCERATO is a FURIA player and his team haven't been that much successful to be honest. His improvement in his individual performance last a few months should have made a good impact.

I'm sure fans who bet on them got disappointed because of the result of their recent tournament. Tomorrow they will enter DPC and we will see how their team will perform. If somehow they did produce a bad result or having not so entertaining game, I'm sure people would be angry and a new hype of hate will be born again since I'm guessing that Filipinos are the one mainly betting for them. If the situation got worst for Blacklist dota team, I hope that Blacklist International wouldn't stop producing teams like this. Most likely they will recruit another talents from another country.

Well, there are always the bettors that will blame the team they bet for when they've lost. But here it goes, the DPC for SEA is later and we shall see the Blacklist Dota 2 team play against Bleed Sports who have become the champion for the M88 tournament.
Give them a try and let's see since this is a DPC tour and most teams will want to stay in division 1 and will play all their might and best to be at the top. Let's see who will get the first blood on this first day of the tour.

The rating is based on individual performance, so team success may have little effect on the rating. Though it can boost a player's performance if they are ending on top of the rankings in tournaments.

I am not expecting too much from Blacklist right now. They are playing against Bleed later today. I have not seen a line for that match yet maybe later.

I do not know if they will recruit players from another country. I am inclined to believe that they want this team to be pure Filipino since they want this to raise Filipino Pride in DOTA. But that will limit their pool for good players since there are very few good Filipino DOTA players left.

Good luck to anyone taking action in this Division.

me, too. I currently only bet on a few favorite teams because I've never seen how well the Chinese teams play.
and in the end it was PSG.LGD who won the match, because it was clear that PSG.LGD game was very good and deserved to be the favorite.
for the next match I choose a team that may also be one of the favorite teams

Looks like a good bet but the odd is not so enticing. Maybe if you multi it with the FNATIC vs Geek Farm match, it will have a better odd.

There are 3 games today at SEA Region but Stake took the first 2. Maybe they open a betting line for BLCK vs Bleed. I would like to bet on that. Both of these teams purchased their Division 1 rights to previous Div 1 teams.  I would like to watch them play if they are worth to take a risk later on the season.

I bet with 2 methods, the first is with a single bet and the second is a multi bet combining opportunities by choosing Talon and FNATIC.

for betting on DOTA 2 I don't only bet on Stake but on several other platforms. because I also like to bet on total kills and the total duration of the match will be much profitable for me.

Finally, the DPC between different regions kicks off today. 

I'll start off with a multi that consists of +1.5 spreads, I would've also included Execration +1.5 in there but Sportsbet only offers match winners for some reason. I'm not too convinced about the favorites when some of slight underdog teams like Bleed esports and Geek Slate showed competitive results coming from the third-party tournaments.

Yeah, after the SEA region, we've got now the WEU region. The first game will be played by OG and Tundra. What are such good teams to start the season.

Actually, Tundra has posted a few days ago about a hint about an announcement. But what's funny is that they're announcement is that no one gets kicked from the team.

Congratulations on your bet! Your parlay won.

Geek Fam won 2-0 against FNATIC. Did not expect that.

I think the picks of Blacklist on the first map are goofy that is why Bleed won the first map. Then they got serious on second and third maps and they had a decisive win over Bleed.

OG and Tundra match will be awesome to watch. OG does not have ATF anymore. He is replaced by DM but the other players of the roster are still intact. I am expecting the defending Champion to win since they have no roster change but currently, OG is on the lead early in the game. Let's see if they will bounce back mid or late game.

congratulations on the victory your prediction is very correct.
but I was a little disappointed when I expected FNATIC to win and it turned out that my prediction was wrong and my multi bet failed

for this first map match OG is superior but it seems like this is just a trick by Tundra to give pleasure at the start for OG and I'm sure at the end of the game Tundra will win. I think this match will have 3 maps in the first match OG wins, second match Tundra, map 3 match Tundra wins. (just my prediction) hope my prediction doesn't fail again

But they still rocked with each other though, and to an extent knows how each one plays. The meta changes, but when you played with someone for quite some time, you'll learn to adapt with them and 'get inside their heads' when they're playing. But yeah, the meta they know won't work anymore and they have to dust their strategies because for sure, they are in for a treat with a lot of stronger teams in the region. SEA is just not that strong compared to other regions, but there are tons of individual talents out here that can belong to a top tier team.

Tundra proves that they are the reigning champions. They have a solid draft and solid late game performance. Though OG has a very stellar laning phase, Tundra was able to push through and reverse the situation in the late game. I think OG is being cheeky again with their laning strats. They were able to find kills but they were not able to build on it on and sustain them until late game.

Tundra wins, 2-0. A good way to start their DPC season.

The Tundra team is indeed a very good and strong team, even the unity in playing is not in doubt. However, in the previous Dota 2 match at the peak of the finals, I supported the Secret team over the Tundra team and it was a pity that the Tundra team won.
From previous Dota 2 matches, I have observed that when I was still in the preliminary phase there was a lot of manipulation where a team that should have been able to win matches easily ended up losing.
However, after reaching the semifinals, you can see that each team is playing professionally and is serious about winning.
So if you want to place a bet on a Dota 2 match, we have to really observe and determine which team is really right to bet on.
