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.

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.

With this game I guess its time for Team Liquid to claim again with their aegis of the immortal they have a really good draft, but I didn't set a side right here the gameplay of the Tundra if topson and saksa will make their way out to this series, currently watching the game of the Tundra vs Xtreme gaming, XG will lose their next game its the last time we will see the previous LGD Ame to have an attempt to his aegis and still he will be called as the uncrowned king and if topson wins again another TI its a high value again if he will recruit to other team.

Smer run for Aegis already ended. I thought they will bounce back on game 2 after getting the tempo mid game but a lot of mistake committed makes Tundra completely demolish them. Pure druid is so tanky that even 5 heroes can't take him down.

Tundra is so good on this game but I wonder if they can keep this level of play against Falcon since Topson is always a liability in the late game due to his hero and itemizations.

GG vs Liquid coming. Let's see if Liquid can finally take down GG this time.

They should have respected Pure's LD and have it banned on the game 2.

From laning phase to mid game and to the end game, they're all good and despite that I didn't bet for Tundra, they truly are good. As for Topson, it's true about him that he becomes a liability in the late game but still the team has managed that. For sure that he became emotional on those moments. And will we see Topson going to be the first ever threepeat champion? We'll see later with their tough match later for sure against Team Falcons.

They should but they preferred to counter it by bursting it with lots of damage that didn't succeed. There's a lot of miscommunication and bad targetting for Ame too on the clash.

And will we see Topson going to be the first ever threepeat champion? We'll see later with their tough match later for sure against Team Falcons.

I'm skeptical for Topson getting 3peat this tournament but I would love to see that because that only means they can improve their game. Pure is so good carry that is very hard to stop if Topson will just give him enough space.

Still I will go for Falcons on their match.

I agree that there is for sure miscommunication there and aside from that, there's a known attitude from these chinese teams of beating their opponents with their comfort heroes so, no to respect ban for them.

While I want to see that happen, the same as what you've said on top of my remaining bet for this day, I've already bet for Team Falcons for their match later. No contest about the pure's performance being a carry and not to mention about his tandem, whitemon. They're all good.

Nice to see your bet goes to Falcon while your is on Tundra. On the other hand, Do you bet on Team Liquid vs GG. This match up seems tight while Liquid already get game 1 on very convincing way. Micke WR is so fucking crazy on dealing damage and control. I never thought that Liquid will overcome their great gatekeeper on tournaments on the Upper Bracket finals of TI.

With this kind of level play, I think these 2 will just do rematch in the finals after this upper bracket match.

Now, this bet of mine with Tundra and Team Falcons lost. I did also bet on Team Liquid and GG and my bet just lost. No heartbreaks for me and despite my bet lost against too, I'm just happy to see that TL has broken their curse against GG.

I'm still in between thinking about the top 3 match for Tundra and GG, my heart tells me to bet for Tundra but my mind went through GG so as my bet goes to GG. Still, I'm having fun and good luck y'all.

It's been a while since we saw Team Liquid this dominant, Gaimin Gladiators paid the price by letting Windranger go through twice and there's a reason why it's one of the most contested heroes in this tournament.

I'm expecting Gaimin Gladiators to reach the finals as well, their loss from Team Liquid should wake them up and I doubt they'll draft that badly again.

We're in the same boat, Gaimin Gladiators should still have the upper hand based on their last meeting.

I agree with you, Tundra really performed very well. Pure Druid is indeed a very resistant character, and their mistakes allowed Tundra to demolish them completely. I too wonder if they will be able to maintain this level of play against Falcon, considering Topson is always a weak point in the late game due to his hero and his customizations. We can't wait to see the match between GG and Liquid. Let's see if Liquid can finally defeat GG this time.

This is the most awaiting match in the lower Bracket, Quin vs Topson and this will be decided the game, I don't know if the tundra will pick the same win hero to them like they used to XG which is the syllabear, if Tundra will win this game Topson have the chance to win again another TI and if GG wins the game they will get their first TI after getting always a 1st runner up against TS in their previous encounters or else Team Liquid again will have their 2nd aegis with new players.

It's difficult to bet right now on the winner, I want to bet on GG but multiple times lost betting against Tundra, time I will go first on map 1 duration for over 38 minutes, it's good odds. This is the lower bracket and the last day of the tournament, I expect most of the games from now on will be longer,  late games.

I also bet on under 2.5 total maps, and the first 10 kills for both maps for GG.

I may bet once after the draft of map 1, let's see. I'll be posting my bets for this last day of The International here.

[Coin_trader]

So far the lower bracket finals between Tundra and GG is the most even and worth watching fight on this TI. Both teams are so good and you can't determine who's gonna win because the lead goes back and forth.

The last play of GG using Underlord portal all-in to the throne is so good. I thought they might get wipe out with one setup by Tundra but the damage is so massive while there's no fortification available on their side.

Still nice game for Tundra though.

[passwordnow]

The map 3 was intense, both teams can really win and I thought it's the actual grand finals but not yet, GG won and so as my bet. GG to Tundra for doing a great game.




We're on the grand finals, GG versus Team Liquid. I'd still go with GG and let us enjoy this bo5 series. I think that it will reach to that number of games and even GG is exhausted with 3 games a while ago, they can handle such pressure.

We both win this match, congrats but it's not the last one we've got.

Last match of The International 13, GG versus Team Liquid.
I will bet starts now, but I will still bet per game, it will be depends on the picks of team per game, but I am really expecting that Gaimin' Gladiator will win this championship.

Gaimin' Gladiator proved their last match against Tundra for 70 minutes+ that they is really for championship match.

Everyone, share your bet slip or insights, we might able to help other to analyze upcoming games

I'm always rooting for Liquid but it's always different scenario when they are against their nemesis GG on grand finals. So far Liquid is always choking when it comes T1 Grand finals so I will skip placing bet for match winner on Liquid since GG is good on crucial games.

Game 1 is always a mind games between this 2 teams since whoever win the 1st game always win the series.

Let's go Liquid.

Yes sir... Lucky Team Liquid took the game 1.
I remember how Tundra took game 1 and then they took game  2 and game 3.
So this time, I'm betting game 2 that will go to Gaimin' Gladiators as they are also first pick with Naga Siren which it is always the first ban.
So, it's more likely high chance to win if you have Naga Siren. We will see.

Liquid now massacring GG with their insane line-up and supports providing a lot clutch save with their cores. I thought game 1 will be another choke game for Liquid but they manage to bounch back with just few success team fight.

Boxi is insanely good with his Tuskar. GG should respect ban now this pesky support or at least pick it for them because it's very hard to beat when Boxi use it. Also 33 is so consistent on providing space and damage with his offlane heroes that proven unstoppable on both game 1 and 2.

Team Liquid do a great job on acquiring 33 as replacement with Zai. seems like 33 is the missing pieces for Team Liquid to finally get the aegis.

As I mention previously, Whoever wins the game always win the series. With Liquid get the game 1 which means it's already easy for them to win all the remaining game because they already have the confidence to win the series.

I'm not sure how GG can even break Liquid with this kind of momentum. GG hero pick is kinda not their style already which is just a defensive pick.

Yeah, 33 is a consistent offlaner even on Tundra he is the one that keeps dictating the tempo of the game.

Team Liquid looked like the best team during whole TI. Really deserved title and it was fitting that they take against GG who won a lot of BO5 against them in recent past.

I was rooting for Topson and Tundra but GG were way too good for them both today and few days ago in upper bracket.

[passwordnow]

My bet lost and so as the other folks here that bet for GG, the whole curse was broken by Team Liquid. Congratulations!

It's a swept, 3-0 for Team Liquid compared to the past tournaments that they have against GG, they've done a reversal. And as for Topson, they did great against GG but it was just so hard for them on the third game because of mega creeps.

Once again, I congratulate Team Liquid for being this year's TI champion. Well deserved and well done to GG as well. I've heard blitz's interview, he credited everyone, every staff of the team. He was emotional.
