Meanwhile , today doesn't look like hyped but BetBoom should keep us entertained with 2 games right ? 

It was like a bonus round for the BetBoom. Eliminating Keyd Stars didn't get any hype on this match because it was mostly a one sided match.

As I don't think Keyd Stars will even put pressure on BB.

Their carry knows how to farm but the entire impact of his gameplay wasn't that much to change the result of the game. His Luna was a quicker farmer but yet, isn't the typical luna that we see from most winning teams.

On the other hand, Tundra Esports lost against Entity. It was a comeback, early game was in favor of Tundra Esports but Entity was just too good and I'm speechless on this one. Waiting for the 2nd game to come.

I’m looking forward on Tundra vs Entity because this will be a close fight. BB is more dominance than KeyD so the result might be one sided game.

You're right about Keyd Stars and BB and as for Entity and Tundra, I'm sure that we're feeling the same thing on how this game is amazing when Entity won against Tundra or you feel the opposite way?

Well yea , Costabile knows how to farm but he is a mediocre carry but still had a great run for this TI where Brazil fans should be happy with their performance.

Currently I'm watching Entity vs Tundra and I'm afraid Entity might snatch this with 2-0 and produce a big surprise that personally I didn't anticipate to happen , especially with Topson playing for Tundra as Midlaner. Right now score is 1-0 with map 2 being well underway and Entity looks favorite in 2nd map as well.

Yup, that's still a good run for them, and having three slots for this TI is already a good consolation for this. Now, with these runs, I am sure that the next change for the format will still benefit them and will be made by Valve after this TI. Costabile needs to practice more but he's talented in farming, no doubt but about map awareness and decision making as a carry, needs to be imrpoved.

Right now score is 1-0 with map 2 being well underway and Entity looks favorite in 2nd map as well.

I've watched the first game and they're able to a comeback. And you're right again with that 2-0, Entity just won against the former TI champs Tundra Esports with that ending. Right now the match of Talon Esports and BetBoom is happening, we still have a long series to wait. While Entity is going to face Virtus.Pro, hmmmmm. They've won against TUndra so VP could be easier for them.

I stayed awake until morning for this series. But what a series for Entity versus Tundra, it was worth watching. Tundra was supposed to win against Entity. That solid comeback in game 1 set Entity's confidence to win game 2 as well. I don't know what Sneyking meant during the interview but it feels like Topson is not a fit to his team.

And then I had to wake up in order to watch Entity against Virtus Pro. I also thought Entity would win but VP has its own ways and never gave up a single map. Entity has a good battle plan but they couldn't keep up Kiritych's farming.

We need to wait 4 days again for the next games. Gaimin Gladiators should be able to stop the nouns. BetBoom against Virtus.pro will be another tough match but I am favoring the former to win.

Topson can adopt easily to the team that he's standing in but there's a need for him to get commanded and that's what he's just waiting for.

And then I had to wake up in order to watch Entity against Virtus Pro. I also thought Entity would win but VP has its own ways and never gave up a single map. Entity has a good battle plan but they couldn't keep up Kiritych's farming.

We that were optimistic with Entity have been disappointed on this game. They've beaten the former TI champs but they've played easily by VP. That's looking like an easy match for most of them honestly.  Kiritych was like a disciplined and not greedy player unlike what I'm seeing with other carry players.

We need to wait 4 days again for the next games. Gaimin Gladiators should be able to stop the nouns.

It feels different this TI unlike the former TIs were its like a continuous battle until weekend and then some rest for a few days and then continue again.

BetBoom against Virtus.pro will be another tough match but I am favoring the former to win.

Both from the same region but it's like BetBoom is the favorite to win this match.

Because of these games, I also didn't sleep and break up my schedule. During these days I will return to my usual state, but in a couple of days we will experience a lack of sleep again. But looking at these amazing battles between the teams, I am ready to continue not sleeping at all.

I think that the game VP - BetBoom, Team Spirit - Liquid will be most spectacular in the entire playoffs. I will still bet on BetBoom to win, I would like them to continue through the lower bracket because they have very beautiful and exciting games.

Let's remember the second map in the confrontation between Talon vs BetBoom Team, when BetBoom picked Pudge and won a stunning game in 1 hour 10 minutes. I strongly recommend that those who haven’t watched it watch it while there are no games on the day of silence.

Team spirit is a strong contender for this years TI on winning that aegis but i do agree with BB team which they do really have that potential too if they could straight up in LB but dont forget that in LB there's GG,VP and nouns which we know that these teams arent something that simple to be beaten up too plus into those UB  losers would be going down then it would really be an easy path to take.
Totally that interesting for this year TI even though the prize pool isnt that big but still that interesting to watch as always.

The thing i dont like for this years TI is the large gap of days in between phase on which they are really that lasting 4-5 days which it do really remove that kind of thrill
and hype because of that long wait but well there's nothing they can do since they do manage it out this way.

Although Team Spirit doesn't have many games left to raise the aegis over his head for the second time, this path will not be easy, he will not be given away just like that, the battles will be tough. In addition, other teams should have preparations at the hero peak stage, this is another chance to break the TS, although it seems that this is almost impossible. Therefore, I expect to see unusual heroes.

The players also don’t like such large gaps between game days, not only the spectators, but Valve doesn’t care much about it, they ignored it as usual. I still found a small plus in this, I watch the matches that I liked the most for the second time, this helps a little to maintain the amazing mood from the TI.

Normally I also do not like the large number of days in break. The players and teams have ample time to study and practice but some of them might have lost their focus and adrenaline in their bodies. Momentums will be stopped including the fans' urge and excitement. The only thing that made me somewhat good during this long break were my bets' losing streak.  

Meanwhile, my only remaining bet is on Team Spirit ML over Liquid. Planning to put some bets on GG and BetBoom as well. Betboom against VP, it will be another anticipated match and both teams are capable of winning.

LOL worlds main event resumes in just about 12 hours
We have Cloud9 vs Fnatic and then Weibo vs MAD Lions



I dont think there are many times u will get a EU team at 2+ odds against NA so i love the Fnatic play tomorrow,
For second game odds are too skewed towards weibo but maybe mad can finally do something

Totally agree with that losing that urge and excitement on which it is really that happening on me as of this moment on which the excitement and interest that you do have is slowly fading as the days passing by which this is something that should be changed up. Dont let the fans would lose its hype and interest and same goes into those teams that are competing because it would definitely be affecting out that adrenaline rush or excitement towards the tournament but we are seeing the different situation which long days break as if it seems that there's nothing happen. I do already even almost forget that we do have a tournament on here. 

For TS vs TL then i would go for TS.Why? TL do always fall short in against with TS. They could be able to score up 1 game but match winner would be always that TS.
We dont know though if there would really be some sort of tactic or plans that they had set out in against with TS considering applying those strats and finding out ways
on this huge break could really be that having sense on doing such thing.

There is a Roobet Cup with a prize pool of 250k dollars going on recently. Group A and Group B matches have already started.

I have been following Eternal Fire in this tournament especially due to their great rise by the ESL Pro League success. They qualified for the quarter finals there and were eliminated by Natus Vincere if you don't remember. However they couldn't make a good start to this new tournament. They lost to FURIA by 2-1. They actually won the Ancient map and got 1-0 ahead. They were really good on Vertigo normally but they were horrible this time and their effort on Mirage also wasn't enough.

Their next series is against Aurora. I expect EF to win this time.

Come together with me on GG and nouns match. The odds are good with nouns and I know that GG is a strong team, no hate on Quinn and GG but I'll just try my luck putting with nouns on this one. As I believe in K1 hector. 

Just like the other teams that have managed to snatch some games on the known strong teams, maybe nouns will do the impossible on this one. I'm not expecting a lot on them and I just try to cover the odds as much as possible because it's quite good and the bet I've made on this one isn't that much too. So whether win or lose, I'm okay and there's no madness or heart feelings on it. This is what betting is all about in a game that you truly love and have been living with together.
Still a too many days to wait until the lower and upper bracket starts. It's kind of boring to wait this long with the most awaited dota 2 event every year. I hope the format next year is better than this one and also the scheduling as well.

Yup, in other bookies, they're offering Fnatic around 2.10+ and i'm surprised when I think they're the slightly better team over Cloud9. I went with the over 2.5 and hope we'll see a competitive series as both teams are fighting to survive another round.



In the second series, if it was another EU team like BDS, maybe there's value, but with Mad Lions, I think the odds are accurate enough when they can't even beat the NA teams.

As expected, EU  won over NA as Fnatic came back in the series after losing map 1 to win 2-1

Cloud9 won  the map 1 but had difficulty ending the game  even with a 10k gold lead,

Map 2 and 3  were decidedly won by fnatic with a strong early  and mid game

Weibo won 2-0 over MAD but had to sweat a potential upset in map  1, live odds were actually favoring MAD at one point, that wouldve been quite and upset if MAD won

This match is going to be played tomorrow at 7 PM (GMT+3). To tell the truth Eternal Fire are the absolute favourite side of this matchup. We can see the same thought from bookmakers as well who have given 1.45 odds for their win. Before anything else there is a serious level of quality gap between the teams. Besides Aurora have been on the decline in the recent times. I don't feel like they will surprise us here either.

Eternal Fire beat them in Pinnacle Cup by 2-0 the last time they faced each other. I see a more determined Eternal Fire these days. I think they will get another 2-0 win here.

[arallmuus]

Glad that we got all these esports action but why do it have to be alltogether alongside TI lol  . We got Worlds and now Roobet Cup as well which has pretty good prizepool

Anyway, back on TI. I guess I would be betting on a single game for now before decided to pick the other tomorrow. Going for Liquid to win although Team Spirit is much better obviously but hey Team Spirit cant keep on winning everything so yeah



Anyway for those of you that still think that Nouns could win might as well want to pick Nouns +1.5 against GG, odds are around 2.3 right now

Yes, the games will continue today, which makes me very happy, I definitely won’t watch the LGD - Azure Ray match because it will be early in the morning in my country, but I will be able to watch the others. GG has a small odds, but I'm almost sure that they will simply move nouns. BB will beat VP, I expect they will show a bright game with net worth jumping from one side to the other and great unpredictability. Although BB they confidently go through the losers’ bracket, in such a wild match I will bet on the underdog (VP).
TS vs Liquid, I expect the usual even game, but Liquid will give a good fight. My forecast is 2-1 in favor of Team Spirit.

It will be interesting to see whether they will continue to pick Muerta, Bristleback, Dark Willow, or whether the teams will show their secret plans and have the same choice of heroes as in the VP - Entity.

Long breaks usually don't make sense to me, too. I get that players need to rest in order to be in top form for the games, but they are losing the drive and the hype as the days go by. During their down time, they can study other teams' gameplay and perhaps craft some nice strategies and hopefully it translates to their games. These players need to relax, too, but extra long breaks doesn't really make sense in this kind of competition.

Guys, game time for Dota 2 The International is about to happen within the next 6 hours. And I have just noticed one thing about the posts related to the International just this day. It's about Eva Elfie, I know that you know her guys and is this really a serious thing that she said or is she just chasing clout? Here is what I am saying and known websites posted this news about her.

Here is what I am saying and known websites posted this news about her.

I dont think its about clout, shes already one of the most famour adult stars right now, she is a big dota fan apparently and has attended previous majors/TI's as well as this TI also.

She also was involved in the sponsorship/ambassador stuff of some teams, i think it was talon and/or spirit ?
