The same goes for Team Liquid, they suddenly lost every map, while 1win is off to a perfect 2-0 start, they could go 4-0 tomorrow because I think OG is the only other team that can give them a loss.

That was one hell of unpredicted outcome huh. Most peopleprobably thought that at the very least, Team Liquid would be able to win atleast one map even if they ended up losing but it was 2-0 straight for 1win. The 2nd map was even worse, it was less than 30 minutes

I'll try this low odds parlay for the next matches as 1win and OG are the only teams that looked reliable after yesterday.

Woah 1.74 should be good enough considering that these two teams have won 2-0 straight for 2 games but Im taking different approach from here

OG to win 2-0 straight

[passwordnow]

New bets for today, so once again as I wish good luck to myself, I do the same wish and good luck to my fellow bettors and dota 2 boys in here. Where you at boys?

Looking at the results of the matches your bets went 1-3, but you're still close to breaking even thanks to Execration's huge win against Shopify Rebellion. I thought Shopify Rebellion would get their first win from Execration, but they surprisingly underperformed and got swept.

Execration has been the team that's been consistently making my bets win. As for Shopify Rebellion, I guess that I won't pick them anymore. Whenever I bet with their matches, I'm no longer trusting them. But when I miss them, they're winning. LOL what a mantra.

The same goes for Team Liquid, they suddenly lost every map, while 1win is off to a perfect 2-0 start, they could go 4-0 tomorrow because I think OG is the only other team that can give them a loss.

1win to be honest is surprising. I guess that I'll replace my bets with Shopify Rebellion into 1win's. With most of my bets, I am expecting not so good results won't give me some wins but there's still one I get, fortunately.

I'll try this low odds parlay for the next matches as 1win and OG are the only teams that looked reliable after yesterday.

Crazy nouns, always made me lost so good luck with OG.

The previous few days were too busy and missed some matches. Today I started betting again.

It happened again on my bet 1x loss and 1 win. Not too bad because Execration almost made my bet win.

In the second map I hope Execration can at least put up a strong fight so that the total kills I predicted become a win and cover the previous losses.
BTW, TL is hard to beat this time.



Update:
Turns out my prediction was right with a total of 59 kill on the second map.

They were kind of sloppy during the Swiss stage dropping a map here and there, but they're still getting away with it because their opponents are bad when it comes to punishing their mistakes.

Unfortunately, Nouns ruined your 2-0 ticket as they took the second map, I thought OG would sweep then the draft difference started to show in the team fights.

Thanks, the series is about to go on a third map. Nouns are currently in a weird spot, they had a bad start on the Swiss stage and then bounced back to barely scrape through the next stage.

Eternal Fire is strangely getting eliminated from tournaments again these days. I think it's because they don't work hard enough, they don't realize the potential of their opponents and what they can do. They have the potential to beat Mongolz in the last tournament but they lost in different ways. They need to get themselves in order, even if these are not very important tournaments, even a championship from these tournaments will motivate them.

That's true and this time, they've won against Shopify Rebellion for two straight games, nouns is doing it. They really are winning when I wasn't able to bet on them.


On the otherhand, there's also another tournament that's happening in China in Zhangjiakou province with great teams as well for Dota 2. The Clavision: Snow Ruyi is already in the playoffs.

[len01]

1win and OG seem to get a great chance to take up the upper bracket. But 1win won't be that easy to finish the game because SR won' t let 1win win easily this time.

Most likely on map 2 I'll add 1win and OG wins to my betting slip, but I'd rather look at the game conditions first.

@passwordnow, are you betting on this match? What is your prediction?

[emrecemsan]

The MongolZ easily took care of Amkal esports and will face Eternal Fire later today. You're spot on about this semi-final matchup going either way as I see their odds close to 1.80 on a few bookies while The MongolZ are at plus odds. Even though it's almost a 50-50 matchup, I still think Eternal Fire will pull through because of their clean group stage and after 3DMAX sent ENCE packing, i'm starting to think we could have a 3DMAX vs. Eternal Fire grand final.

3DMAX became the champions, congratulations to them. Interestingly we weren't good enough against TheMongolZ.    13-8 and 13-4 are really bad results. I don't understand why we even picked Dust2 while Anubis and Nuke were available. I believe we lost with our pick already. Anyway, it happens and we just need to return stronger by next tournament.

Now we have BLAST Premier going on. We are in the group stage currently. Two of the group finalists are already determined: Spirit in Group A, Vitality in Group B.

There is FaZe v G2 tomorrow to determine the first finalist in Group C. The odds:



People expect G2 to win mostly but I think FaZe are attracting by these odds.

I hope Team Spirit and Xtreme Gaming can keep their form up since we could see a potential matchup between them in the upper-bracket final.

It's so unusual to see Nigma Galaxy as a slight favorite, but I still don't have the guts to back them up so my ticket is on the over 2.5 maps as most of their series have gone past three maps.

[passwordnow]

@passwordnow, are you betting on this match? What is your prediction?

Yup, I bet for both game and I won with 1win but lost with Execration. I have posted it on the other thread but still, here are my results;

I have bet against Nigma on that match and bet for LGD Gaming as the match winner and fortunately, LGD didn't disappoint. We'll see LGD versus Team Spirit tomorrow.

Congrats!

[ralle14]

Nicely done on LGD, I wasn't sure which side to choose based on their group stage results and thankfully I avoided a losing bet because I would've picked Nigma Galaxy.

I mentioned in the other thread the bet that I plan to take, and i'm still set on the two top teams (Xtreme Gaming and Team Spirit) to advance @1.66 keeping it simple with the moneylines.

With the new patch dropping yesterday we could see teams experimenting, but I still expect the skill difference to show between these teams.

And that escalated quickly, LGD lost against Team Spirit and then down to the lower bracket and lost against to NaVi. They're already out of the tournament. While for Nigma Galaxy, they've won awhile ago against G2 x IG and then later will be playing against NaVi.

Yeah, a lot of teams are on experimental mode but this is tough if they're on an official tournament like the Clavision. And with the current match that's being played now as of typing this, Team Spirit and Xtreme Gaming are on. First win goes to XG.

Quick 2-0 for Xtreme Gaming, Team Spirit was just getting outplayed on both maps and their drafts had low damage output against Xtreme Gaming's lineup.

While for Nigma Galaxy, they've won awhile ago against G2 x IG and then later will be playing against NaVi.

They somehow survived against NaVi and surely this is the final stop for them as I don't think they're good enough to stop Team Spirit.

I made a ticket with them winning later and over 2.5 for the Boom vs. Execration match, Execration lost 2-0 against Boom in the group stage, but I think it'll be closer this time now that Execration took out OG.

These two still the ones that have faced the finals. And guess what? 3-1 for Xtreme Gaming, they're able to beat Team Spirit in the grand finals. Way to go for Xtreme Gaming. A chinese tournament, of course they won't let a non-chinese team slide on this one.
Congratulations to Xtreme Gaming!!

XinQ is crazy on this patch, played Timbersaw support and then Tinker too. XinQ did washed his face on this tournament, if you know the meme behind that!!  

Support tinker and timbersaw on pubs coming.

Boom Esports knocked out Execration 2-0. They've ended 4th going home with $56k. Waiting for the semis to happen, I've posted the update on the other thread.

Expected, Boom was just better than Execration. I used to say that SA region is probably the weakest region overall but looking at it now, SEA region is obviously the worst for now. I cant recall the last time any of the SEA teams actually had decent achievement on tournaments

Anyway, 1win is really surprising to some extent by knocking Team Liquid to lower bracket 2-0. They lost to Team Liquid 2-1 on the Swiss Stage so probably none would have expected 2-0 win from 1win


Anyway, this is for reminder to everyone. We are exacly a month away from TI 2024

I'd agree with you about that. I think two years ago, it's said that South America region is the weakest of them all and we'd see teams from SEA to be one of the strongest. But meta has changed, retired players have been a lot and the competition has always been tough. Experience has been more with SA teams and there's been a buff with the teams there because players from all other regions have also played there.

Anyway, 1win is really surprising to some extent by knocking Team Liquid to lower bracket 2-0. They lost to Team Liquid 2-1 on the Swiss Stage so probably none would have expected 2-0 win from 1win

I was really surprised with that. Team Liquid is putting me down, I don't bet on them that much but when I do, they are always losing.

Anyway, this is for reminder to everyone. We are exacly a month away from TI 2024 

I didn't noticed that and now that's making me more excited.

Congratulations to Xtreme Gaming!!

After Nigma Galaxy took Team Spirit to a third map, I knew Xtreme Gaming would secure the win against Team Spirit since they've been shaky and the flex picks are next level from Xtreme Gaming, they always make it look easy.

There's also Team Liquid who barely edged 1win after a five-map series in the finals, we already saw it coming as they're the heavy favorites to win this tournament, but they still made it sweaty and i'm impressed with 1win's performance as I first thought it'd be an OG vs Team Liquid final.

Yeah, both teams are like to be expected when they enter the grand finals. XG did great and they didn't disappoint everyone. And for Team Liquid, despite falling first on the semis against 1win, they're able to move back beating Boom Esports in the lower bracket and then going back against 1win in the grand finals. Well played for both teams and 1win has such a good experience on this tournament as this is the first time that I've seen team reach that far on a major tournament and have faced a good team. As I've said about Team Liquid, when I bet on them, they make me lose and so I didn't bet and they've won.

I was even sure that OG would win the tournament. They were top 1 on both Swiss Stage and Round Robin Stage. Nouns had lucky win against OG otherwise it would be a clean sweep before the playoff. Imagine that you play so good on those two rounds only to lose twice against Team Liquid and Execration then got knocked out of the tournament. It was so frustating to watch

I didn't noticed that and now that's making me more excited.

Yeah I wanna know how much will we get for the prizepool this year though

I also can relate to your frustration, they're so clean throughout the first two stages only to crumble within the next two playoff series and I felt dumb betting on their side thinking they're too good to lose against Execration.

They'll probably put out another lite compendium the same as last time, and with the starting prize pool at $1.6m, it should reach $2m-$3m but it might not be big enough to beat the Riyadh Master's $5m prize pool.
