The Berlin major is about to get full, only the last one slot from WEU is being waited on to fill the whole stack of participants. So, the last slot is either going to be taken and will be fighted for by OG and Ooredoo Thunders.

Honestly, majority of us here would like to see OG participate the Berlin major and take that last slot but OT won't just allow that to happen easily and we'll get to see it happen later.

For the list of participating teams, you can see it here guys --> https://liquipedia.net/dota2/ESL_One/Berlin_Major/2023

When Yuragi was interviewed after their win against Entity, he said that they have a good chance to get into Berlin Major. It means that he is confident that they will beat Ooredoo Thunders in their tiebreaker game for the Major slot. There is a reason he is confident though. They easily beat Ooredoo in their first match on this tour. There is no reason they will be beaten unless they slack off and failed to prepare for the series against Ooredoo.

I think I will risk again on OG but I will check the odds first. If it is good, I will put a good amount for OG to win.

Ooredoo Thunders was great on their match but sadly, they'll be the one who won't be getting the slot.

Congratulations to OG, the game 3 was intense and it's a comeback. I thought that OT was going to get that game and it was looked that they're winning the game. With the line up of OG, it's hard to see them win that match anyway.

But then, those crucial moments made them capitalized the win and turn the favor on them. That smoke at the top near Radiant's first tower, that actually was the turning over moment for OG.

The set of teams for the Berlin major is now complete!

OG is slowly turning the tides on their favor. All it took was a threat for them to be relegated to Div 2 before they perform really well. They have a lot of things that they did well on this match that they could do on their next games. Hopefully their match against Ooredoo improved their insights on how they should approach their games. That patience and untiltable attitude is what they need.

I was not able to make a bet on the game because I was busy but it is good that OG won the game.

It looks like it is an exciting game. I'll watch the replay later. I am glad that OG was able to take the last slot for Berline Major. It does not feel like it is a major if OG is not in there.

I was not able to make a bet on the game because I was busy but it is good that OG won the game.

It was pretty close and intense on the 3rd map. Well most people thought that OG is going straight down to division 2 then somehow made it to the Major. Nigma on the other hand, going straight down on division 2 as expected but Miracle might be getting bad to the team because he was seen practicing with his smurf account

I am glad that OG was able to take the last slot for Berline Major. It does not feel like it is a major if OG is not in there.

Considering that how stacked the WEU region is, its quite amazing that OG managed to get the last slot for Major. They are pretty bad this season so I doubt that they are going to even pass the group stage in the Major

I couldn't believe my eyes. OT were playing so well but I guess the nerves got to them. OG were split pushing well to stall the game for a while but it was aboujt 80% dota + win probability for OT but they just couldn't push hard enough and get the win. Congratulations to OG for making it. However, I do not believe that OG will do well in the tournament though.

DPC 2023 NA Spring Tour Division I B8 and Dogchamps in a tiebreakers match. It was very comfortable for b8. It was a clean win. So from the early game to the end of the game.

With smooth gangs, the game dominance was entirely in Dendi's team. Once all the lanes were won, it seemed like it was certain that the game wouldn't last long. I am at peace today because I also prefer B8.

Another very interesting week of professional CSGO matches is coming up with the BLAST Paris Major 2023 European qualifications happening. With the announcement of Counterstrike 2 I think that the hype for CSGO is going to intensify this summer. We have 8 matches coming up on Thursday where a lot of strong teams are facing weaker opponents which is giving us a good opportunity for some save bets, even though the payouts are going to be small. These are all best of one matches, so there could be some surprises if one team has a bad day. That is why I am going to limit myself to only betting on 4 matches to not spend too much money. First match will be Virtus.pro vs SAW which should be an easy win for Virtus.pro. My second bet will be NaVi vs Into the Breach which should be won by NaVi without much trouble. My third bet will be on FaZe vs OG, which is going to be won by FaZe hopefully. And my last bet is going to be a bit risky in the match Team Liquid vs 00Nation, I am going with the Brazilians on this one. Coldzera is still one of my favourite players and I hope they get a good day and can win the match.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep it up for the next game against Felt, which was crucial to win the tiebreaker. The game was fairly close but a few moments and draft advantage just pushed through for team Felt. Lucky for all teams in the tiebreaker that it werent relegation matches but placement ones for DPC points. Felt came 4th, B8 were 5th and Dogchamps got 6th.

As I expected, Astralis beat C9 2-1 and was the first to take the spotlight. When we look at the overall match, we can say that we watched a frag duel between two talented awper players. Dev1ce got 73 kills while sh1ro reached 81 kills. The two awpers performed extremely well to carry their team. Despite sh1ro's excellent performance on Ancient map, C9 couldn't win the match. After getting 35 kills, sh1ro couldn't win the map for his team. In Mirage, we can say that sh1ro, who passed the 30 threshold again, won this time. On the last map, dev1ce's great performance was enough for Astralis to win the match.

True, it's so stacked that all it took was two wins in a row to make a quick recovery from the relegation spot up to the 4th place. I also don't see OG making it that far in the upcoming major but I hope they'll surprise us in some way.

Also, Entity won the bo1 tiebreakers and kept their spot in Division 1 while Nigma Galaxy and Monaspa will be sent back to Division 2. Even though these two got relegated I still think they'll get back to Division 1 in no time as they had an okay performance even though they only won two series throughout the Tour.

[execijutiere]

We watched the C9-Forze match in the final match of the Betboom playlist urbanistic 2023 tournament. C9 defeated their opponent 2-0 and became the winner of the tournament. In addition to winning the tournament, they also won 165K dollars in prize money. As for the match, there is no need to even talk about the duo, who performed a performance that I was not surprised at all. Ax1le and sh1ro outperformed every match and won the match.

I am pretty sure that they've a lot from that match and it was like life and breath for them just to get qualified to the Berlin major.

Watch the replay and you'll be amazed on how most match went. But, there goes the spoilers already.

It was actually gonna be a game for OT but then, we saw how the game turned by OG and became in their favor. Just one and little mistake and the whole game will be turned around by any team. This has happened many times and we might see more of it in the Berlin.

This is the main highlight for division 2 WEU, Old G team. Pretty confident that they might nailed 2-0 today and probably for the rest of their games as well so yeah you guys might want to take -1.5 on them as well while their odds are still decent



To be honest though, ITB is a pretty decent team so this is a bit risky compared to Old G playing against all the other division 2 teams

BLAST Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A qualifiers start tomorrow. Actually, there are some good matches but I don't want to take any risks since these matches will be bo1.I expect VP to win in the VirtusPro-SAW match.VP is the heavy favorite in this match and they are strong.I don't think they will make mistakes even though their opponent is not easy.I expect Mouz to beat their opponent.I expect Fnatic and Navi to win.Although these 4 matches seem to be the easiest to predict, we should not forget that there may be surprises.I will still prefer these teams.

Nice satisfying prize money and achivement for the Cloud9 team.

It was a balanced round where both teams could win 8-7 on the Mirage map, it was mutual. When Cloud 9 played ct, they were better in defense, it was not easy for ForZe to enter the sides. On the second map, T side didn't lose a single round, Cloud 9 team won eight rounds in the first half. T side won the series by winning eight rounds in a row. I really liked the Inferno T games, they deserved this tournament.

RMR qualifiers start tomorrow. Eternal Fire - Matched match with NIP will be played next week. I will watch tomorrow's matches to analyze which teams are doing in the France Major.

BLAST Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A qualifiers start tomorrow. Actually, there are some good matches but I don't want to take any risks since these matches will be bo1

Yeah BO1s are the ideal setup for upsets, especially since there are a lot of new teams that we haven't seen much of. I'm placing some small bets for the underdogs on the opening matches, hitting just one of these could be a nice payout.

Which teams do you guys think will advance to the Legends stage from EU RMR A?

[Jossque]

The first matches in blast eu rmr a group were played today and I can say that a surprise team started with 2-0. I honestly didn't expect team B8 to defeat mouz first and then virtus pro. I must say that there were 2 surprise wins of the day for me. OG who lost 2 games will face SAW. It's an important match for both teams. I will be expecting OG to win. The most important match of the day will definitely be Faze-NaVi. I see NaVi ahead in this match because npl has adapted to the team and it should be said that he has made a good contribution in terms of scoring. Sprout eliminating Viperio would not be a surprise at all. In the match between B8 and Fnatic, I would like to state that I am undecided. B8, who defeated strong opponents one by one, actually has the potential to defeat fnatic

To be honest though, ITB is a pretty decent team so this is a bit risky compared to Old G playing against all the other division 2 teams

In this game 1 its already in favor with the ITB because they have a good draft and topson keeps trolling the game and manages to pick a Oracle i guess because of the aghanims with the sustain for the nature and at  the same time attack speed of abandon with their offlane and they manage to win the game, in the game 2 the ITB get really desperate thats why they pick now the techies and the TB for the late game but the OG have a good really early game strategy before the OG really want to make the game so long but this new OLDG wants to finish the game as early as possible.

[Jossque]

Of all the games played so far today, the surprise could be that both falcons and ITB are victorious. BNE and GamerLegion defeated their opponents even though it was hard, but I didn't expect mouz and virtus pro to be defeated.With Bodyy's amazing performance, falcons defeated mouz 16-8 and made it 2-1. Likewise we saw a poor performance from virtus pro.Qikert and fame played very poorly and perhaps cost them the match.ITB as a team put in a good performance and in a close game they won 16-13 to make it 2-1.Of all the games played so far today, the surprise could be that both falcons and ITB are victorious.

but this new OLDG wants to finish the game as early as possible.

Speaking of Old G and OG, I decided to bet on them to lose yesterday against ex HR team and VP. Nailed good odds from two of them and now Im getting back on betting Old G -1.5 in WEU DPC again





It seems some bookies are still giving decent odds on Old G because they are not considered as any favourites yet so yeah Im taking advantage on this for a while until the odds are lowered to around 1.5 or something
