We are coming for the ESL Pro League championship, let's go!!! 

I must admit. I didn't expect to win the series at all. Because Vitality were already at the top of ESL ranking and they had a huge form. 11-win streak... We finished that. It is still unbelievable and very satisfying for me. 

Hats off to XANTARES and ZywOo especially on the last map. That was an insane OT performance from both. I wouldn't like to overlook woxic and Spinx too of course. They were also great.

Now we must be able to beat MIBR with this huge concentration. If we face NaVi in the grand final, I hope we have revenge and win. Because we just can't beat them for a long time.

A legendary image.
It was the best match EF played so far. MIBR managed to beat Eternal Fire 2-0. Now we are waiting for the team that will be the opponent in the grand finals.
We will face the winner of the G2 - Navi match in the finals, both are tough teams.
Navi is a bit more of an adversary to EF, so I hope G2 wins.

I have made some additional bets for the other regions as well.




Aside from the other transfers and change of rosters that I've made, here is an addition to it. NaVi already posted that they'll have some stand-ins and the rumors tend to be true that Puppey will play as a stand-in on the team together with Boom.

I regret to say that we lost 3-2 to Navi in ​​the Grand Final . It was a close match that Eternal Fire could have won.
The maps were very close. Navi had good and bad things to do, and so did Eternal Fire.
Eternal Fire showed how close they were in terms of gameplay against Navi.
Navi came to first place in the World rankings, leaving Vitality behind. Eternal Fire is now in 6th place in the World rankings.

Dang, keeping Puppey in team ? thats like one of the worst transfer that a team could get. No offense but this guy is on par with Kuroky, its about time for him to step down for sure.

Im actually curious with how Team Nigma will do in BB dacha WEU qualifiers though. They got 2 players from PSG.Quest as stand-in, not really the best player but atleast its something to start with. Miracle and Sumail back in action as well so Im looking forward on this team

Zayac is on there as well, it's becoming like the old Secret roster.

They quickly won the first series (17 and 34 min win), we'll see the real test tomorrow once they potentially face OG in the further rounds.

A few maps were on a knife's edge, and the back and forth rounds made the series more fun to watch because they kept stealing the rounds with a clutch and eco buy.

I have made some additional bets for the other regions as well.

1-2 for today, my last bet for the China region is for tomorrow. I thought kukuys already got the momentum when they're able to take map 1 and sad for Boom Esports. I was too cheerful with dj+tims but they need more get together and chemistry.

He's playing position 5 and same as kuro, he's probably old and have lesser impact but he's just a standin and NaVi would like the old days and there's no problem with an old position 5 with vast experience.

In fairness with Nigma Galaxy, they're 4-0 with 2 matches that they have. Later on, they'll face against OG. I am not impressed anymore with a lot of superstar teams. As long as the players have experience and knows their role, a team can be dominant. It's hard to stay consistent on every season with changing metas.

Yeah, I forgot about him.  
Soon, maybe Yapzor will come back or even Dendi.

It is really sad to lose to NaVi in the grand final after trying really hard and losing by 3-2. 



We even won the most number of maps in those 5 maps but it was still not enough. We just couldn't fall by the wayside I should say. Because we lost with really close scores.

And that was because of making more simple mistakes than our opponent did. Actually I can't say NaVi showed their best performance. We could have taken advantage of that. But still it is a great success for us. I'm proud of all our players. 

One last thing. I'm really uncomfortable with the crowd's being very near to the players. There were really controversial moments like giving info to players and helping them win the round. The solution to this is very easy but it looks like ESL management are just too lazy...

In my last message, while expressing my feelings, I emphasized that we have risen to 6th place in the World rankings.
And that we can return again in a big organization. All the fans were disturbed by what bothered you.
Because Navi fans almost gave information on the Ancient map. You are very right about this. I hope the organizations find a solution to this situation.

[execijutiere]

Eternal Fire was perhaps going to achieve a first that a Turkish team could not achieve after a long time, but they finished the tournament 2nd with very simple mistakes. I think NaVi didn't really deserve the match after Calyx couldn't get into the match. Eternal Fire was the better team and they definitely deserved to be the tournament champions based on the score and play on the maps. It was a very, very close match. JL's 3 kills with the flash changed everything.

[sunsilk]

Miracle and Sumail back in action as well so Im looking forward on this team

To be honest, despite them being part of the oldies gang. It hits differently when they're still playing from being a mid-laner and a core/carry.

They're having a good time and they've won against OG in their series with the result of 2-1. They're now so close to being qualified for the main event.

One more series to win and they're in.

They won against OG

It was not the best possible gameplay that I hoped from them but its better than watching them lost however their last game will be either against OG / MOUZ so both teams are pretty hard to be dealth with. Personally I think the current Nigma has better chance against MOUZ but OG is most likely going to win against MOUZ. So yeah there we have it, another Nigma - OG rematch for the final most likely

I also thought we'd get the rematch, but MOUZ completed the reverse sweep to deny OG from booking that rematch. It's safe to say Nigma Galaxy qualifies now unless they get outdrafted several times and make big mistakes.

The SEA qualifier is getting interesting with the grand final going to a fifth map, i'm rooting for the ex-TNC roster to win as I think they're due for a qualifier spot for being this competitive even in the recent qualifiers.

Now Im worried though. If MOUZ could win against OG then its safe to say that they are atleast as good as OG

Anyway the current score is 1-1 and since its BO5, the next map could be crucial. I was about to place a bet of over 4.5 maps on this game but it seems the game started pretty early before bookies set their odds. I only could find the odds after the 1st map was running and yeah it was pretty bad

I just noticed that Nigma is always fond of taking players from the MENA region huh. 5 man habibi roster

[execijutiere]

Eternal Fire has improved tremendously, especially in the last 1-1.5 months. During this time, they played both a Final match against Spirit and a match against NaVi. Even though they didn't win both, they will probably be shown as a candidate to reach the final in tournaments. Aim-wise and tactically they have moved forward. They play almost flawlessly except for very small and simple mistakes. They can't stop giving echo rounds.

[passwordnow]

I have made some additional bets for the other regions as well.

I've won my bet with Team Zero and Azure Ray, Azure Ray won the match.




We have some conclusion now with the BB Dacha Belgrade 2024 and two regions were done already with the qualifiers. The WEU and the SEA regions. Surprisingly, in the WEU region the match was with Nigma galaxy and Mouz but latter won the qualifs. And for the SEA, Team Kukuys was so close yet not enough and Talon will represent the region.

• SEA : Talon Esports
• WEU : Mouz

And later the Americas region(both NA/SA) will have its representative as well because the qualifiers are on going as of typing this.

There are a lot of roster updates for this day, I'll start with the Tundra Esports, saksa and 33 is back at the team.

Alliance has announced their roster and of course with Loda as the coach.

Tundra is becoming a scary team with those two and Whitemon. Others are speculating bzm and Nightfall to fill in the missing carry and mid position.

While 33 moves from Team Liquid to Tundra, Saberlight is now the new offlane of Team Liquid.

After hearing 33's plan from Blitz, it's understandable why he moved with Tundra, and props to Team Liquid for not holding him back.

BetBoom has a new roster update too.

Their synergy could be good knowing miero and kiyotaka used to play together on 9pandas.

Maybe but we have to wait for bzm because he's going to stand-in with NaVi as of the moment.

33 was the captain so every call comes from him so, he's got a huge impact to the team. I think with saberlight, the team liquid will never be the same.

Yeah, what's funny here is that kiyotaka became a streamer for Aurora but then it didn't even took 1 month for him to have this switch.


DreamLeague Season 24 is in, I've got some bets for today.

[ralle14]

I've been watching the Worlds Play-ins these past few days, and it's time to try my luck by betting on Pain Gaming to sweep Rainbow7.

33 was the captain so every call comes from him so, he's got a huge impact to the team. I think with saberlight, the team liquid will never be the same.

Team Liquid should do well with Saberlight, we saw him perform well when he stood in. They should still be able to produce some results even though their skill ceiling could differ with Saberlight as the new offlane and the captain role shifting back to insania.

Maybe but we have to wait for bzm because he's going to stand-in with NaVi as of the moment.

Good point, Tundra might've made some late adjustments as they took in Lorenof as their temporary mid lane.

I've won these bets.




And as for the DL24, I have also bet for the other regions that will happen the matches later on in North and South America. Good luck to all the bettors that have been following this tournament and may the fourth be with you.

We'd see a different way of playstyle then if it's from insania but no doubt he's also a good one even before 33 came in.

Maybe but we have to wait for bzm because he's going to stand-in with NaVi as of the moment.

Yeah, as a loan from Aurora. So these loans are becoming normal nowadays for quite long. We'll see how things will go for Tundra with lorenof then, from EU to SEA and back there again.
