🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread

The last match for the day is in-game now, GG versus nouns.

I almost believed in nouns after they're up 1-0, but Gaimin Gladiators shut them down in the next two maps.

The game ended in favor of Gaimin Gladiators. I think that very first match that nouns took gave them confidence but as an experienced team, GG swept them straight for two games. And as I watch the Betboom and Talon Esports match right now, it's already 1-0 for Betboom.
Whoever wins the game will have to face nouns in the third series of this day. So, whoever wins will have a few hours to rest while nouns have a longer hours of rest before the face each other.

It's difficult to predict the games in the lower bracket right now.
So, I will try to bet for all the maps of lower bracket games that MEGA CREEPS - YES.
Games are beastcoast vs heroic and team spirit versus G2.iG.

Maybe I will bet more once the games are live like after their picks, so it depends.

Maybe I will bet more once the games are live like after their picks, so it depends.

It's also better to bet on the matches once they're live and after the drafting phase because certain teams have different ways of approaching the draft like Team Spirit who got too confident and forced the same lineup.

Those megacreep bets are tasty with those odds, assuming it'll be a toss-up regardless of what happens on every map.


Talon, Zero, 1win, and nouns are already eliminated. It's disappointing how nouns fell short against BetBoom, from beating one of the best EEU teams in the seeding match to quickly losing against one of the weaker EEU teams in an elimination match.

They've beaten Team Spirit twice and then they've been beaten by BetBoom. To be honest, I'm expecting them to end this TI with a 4th-6th placer but then they ended 9th-12th placer.

Just to give some visuals about the prize distribution of this TI2024 that has almost $2.5M in prize pool. It was way lower than of the past biggest prize distributions and pools.

What a bizare game  . Aurora 2-1 Heroic. Looking at the last map, it seemed like Dragon Knight would win the game to his net worth.
Aurora played better team play and won the game, the fate of the game changed when Tusk Aghanim won, they cancelled the DK with a kick, nice team fight.
Aghanim and refresher were very strong in Void when they hit and they directly finished the game when they got a team fight.
Since there was no buyback in DK and OmniKnight, they could not do any defense.

I guess its safe to say now that BetBoom is currently the best EEU team because they are the only EEU left on TI. I cant believe that  XG managed to knock out Team Spirit. Huge comeback after losing the 1st map. Dang if only Falcons isnt on the lower bracket then I guess I would say its safe bet XG to win the remaining lower bracket games until the grand final

2 days break for TI, so far it is pretty good atleast for me

Let's go back to Aurora versus Heroic.

What can you say about this chat from Aurora.23savage?
23savage is just being savage again 
A lot of people say that SEA is being toxic because of this, but I don't think so.
Some also telling that The International without SEA team is boring, I agree

They also got lucky in facing one of the weakest teams that lost in the upper bracket, then you have the others facing Xtreme Gaming and Team Falcons.

Dang if only Falcons isnt on the lower bracket then I guess I would say its safe bet XG to win the remaining lower bracket games until the grand final

For now, Team Falcons have the best chance of reaching the grand final coming from the lower bracket, but who knows they could still meet Gaimin Gladiators in the next round if Tundra pulls off another upset.

That's just raw
If I saw that live, it would be outrageous, haha.
Though, it spices up the game a bit for us.

In such important matches, such chats create a nice excitement among the normal audience, there is no excessive toxicity, after all, they are just sweet correspondence. 
He didn't choose his nickname 23savage for nothing, of course he will be savage when he wins the game.
They managed to eliminate Heroic early, before they even made it to the stage.

Savage23 being Savage again. If you watch him in pub game this is pretty normal. I remember in their match in the lower bracket of the Riyadh Masters 2023 against Team Liquid, he did an early celebration thinking they had already won. He was with Talon eSports at that time, and he's quite already the trash talker. His early celebration went wrong vs Team Liquid. For sure if you're true dota2 fans you know this. But despite that, he's still top carry in sea server. King Slayer, AKA savage23 is really skilled carry. In my opinion, he's the best Carry in SEA.

The context on why 23savage said that. The first map, Aurora lost to Heroic and one of the heroics their pos 5 (KJ) typed "xd" and that's why 23savage waited for this moment to trashtalk them with that chat. That's why you don't talk shit when your emotions are high because it will bounce back to you in a more aggressive manner through other people.

A lot of people say that SEA is being toxic because of this, but I don't think so.

All of these regions have their own toxicity. You'd see these typical tips and trashtalks with Ammar and malrine and as well as mostly in chinese pubs which I think in all of the regions is the most toxic in the pubs through high ranks(immortal).

I couldn't agree more.

There's also that one moment in the first map when Storm bursted down 23savage's Morphling with the long zip in the bottom Radiant camp forcing him to rage buyback.


The odds shot up slightly on Team Falcons from 1.30 to 1.38 and it's good for me since i'll be going with their map handicap to sweep BB Team @2.20. I hope Sunsfan and Synderen will be the duo casting this series, it was fun to hear them make silly names in one of their previous series.

Few hours left and the match about the last hopes of two regions will happen, SEA and China region. Aurora and Xtreme Gaming.

But before that, we'd see an interesting matchup first. BetBoom and Team Falcons and everyone is with the side of Team Falcons and Malr1ne doing some sh1talks again about the lower bracket and he's said that it's way easier there below than the upper bracket.

Well, Team Falcons shouldn't be confident against BetBoom, it's not a weak team that they should belittle after all.

They shouldnt really be that confident on which we know on what BB team is capable of.  As in between XG vs Aurora then this time i will really be on XG but i do want for Aurora as a representative for the SEA
but its still that good that they had been able to reach out on LB Round 3 and the one who would gonna win on this one will really be advancing for the LB QF on which they could possibly be able to match up the losers of
those in upper brackets on which those are indeed powerhouse teams specially on Tundra and GG and same goes with Liquid and Cloud9. Totally exciting for this upcoming match up.
Lets see on who would really be getting that Aegis but well its too early.. On side note, it do really sucks on seeing the current prize pool is really just that too low.

The game was done and BB did their best to put up against Team Falcons but still, it ended up with a 2-0 and TF won.

And as for XG, they've won against Aurora too with a 2-0 ending. On top bracket, Team Liquid won against C9 and guess what? on 2-0 too.

Crazy games indeed and we're on the final match for this day and that's Tundra and GG. Which team you guys have bet for?

Every underdog got swept and eliminated, now the better teams are the only ones that survived.

I still want to say every favorite should advance, but it's a close call with Tundra vs. Xtreme Gaming and Team Liquid vs. Gaimin Gladiators.

We've seen the upper bracket matchup countless times and even though Gaimin Gladiators are slightly favored, the H2H results are tied 4-4 in terms of series. The same case goes for Tundra Esports and Xtreme Gaming, with Tundra winning the recent meetings.

And with all and such, both teams have eliminated already.

When the actual venue was open yesterday, it gave that vibe and spirit to be honest even though I was just watching from my PC. And when Gaben has welcomed everyone, you know that the exciting games has come. There's a slight off vibe from there but I know that this is still TI and everyone just love it.

Despite all of those records and histories, all I can say with these matches is that it's always been predictable.

But yesterday's matches I think were the first time that I've seen that all of the matches were in a clean sweep for all of the losers.

Now, the game of Cloud 9 and Team Falcons have started and they're on the picking phase, let's enjoy the series.

Liquid beat up Cloud 9 on which goes to lower bracket and had been beat up by Falcons, also with Tundra vs GG which GG won by 2 and now we are currently in game with Tundra vs XG
on which Tundra is leading 1 game against the chinese team. Actually it was my first time or not really that usual pick of Pure having that lone druid pick which totally bad ass.
SF pick by XM is useless and Ame's void is really that totally cant be able to carry. Topson sniper is indeed that still best. Currently on picking phase of Game 2 atm
and lets see if XG is always been a choker when upcoming into the near semifinals. lol
