I think Aurora have landed in a great bracket. They’ve got a run in this bracket that could take them all the way to the final. They couldn’t have asked for a better draw on the way to the final—they won’t be facing either Spirit or Vitality. Barring any surprises, they’ll most likely make it through to the final in their match against Betboom.

I was able to win my bet for Yakult's Brother and not only one map they've won but managed to 2-0 Vici Gaming. I watched the first map and I thought that they're going to lose that since VG has only one chance of pushing it straight to the tree but they failed.



And I want to follow up this bet on the SA region for this TI qualifiers but sadly, there's no list in it with stake. 
Games are about to start.

[execijutiere]

If Vitality and Spirit beat their opponents in the quarter-finals, they will face each other in the semi-finals. I think this is set to be one of the most crucial matches we’ve seen in recent times. Spirit have significantly improved their performance of late, with every member of the team now contributing to the kill count. Of course, as magixx is the IGL, he has the potential to contribute fewer kills than his teammates, but he does make a solid contribution when the situation calls for it. I believe this will be a truly important match for both sides, and the winner will gain a huge boost in confidence.

Yes, I can now bet on the SA region but it's quite late for me. But I'll be betting on the map duration which is over 37 minutes for playtime and nemesis. I don't think that each of them will give up that early and will make games longer so, that's it. Quite a safe bet with @1.58 odds.



I have also read something about Yakult's brothers support tianming that he escaped the hospital so that he can play the qualifier and right now, him and his team is just one victory away to qualify.

Aurora secured their place in the semi-finals with a brilliant performance, beating Betboom 2–0.  We can honestly say we really wanted this. It was a brilliant performance, and we’re now waiting to find out who our opponent will be in the semi-finals. Playing the first match is an advantage for us, as it means we’ll have a bit of time to prepare for our opponent.

[Balmain]

Aurora is in the semifinals of the Major. We advanced to the semifinals by beating Betbooom. Our opponent will be either 9z or Furia. Aurora is having a great Major. We've accumulated some great memories. Woxic's 1v3 clutch on Dust2 was unforgettable. Xantares' single shot today was also an incredible reflex. I'll post the video here for those who want to watch it. If we make it to the finals, it's very likely we'll face either Vitality or Team Spirit.

Despite losing the first map, FURİA managed to win the match. They played really poorly on the first map but managed to pull it together afterwards. On the Mirage map, the extra effort from yekindar and molodoy, and on Overpass, the standout performances from KSCERATO and Yuurih, saw them secure the victory. Across the three maps, everyone on the team – apart from Fallen – had almost the same number of kills. Given that Fallen is the IGL, his tally is hardly significant.

I lost my bet yesterday on an SA game with just 3 more minutes for the game to stay and I should have won already. But that's okay, I'm moving on and betting on the upper bracket finals for LGD and Playtime. Two best teams in the region but I'll take the ml with the LGD for @1.42 odds.

It was an intense game between LGD and Playtime but LGD end up won the game if they meet again in the Grand Final, I think Playtime will have more confidence against LGD which will increase their chances of winning. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to bet on the match but I'll try to bet on them in the Grand Final, where I'm leaning more toward Playtime. For now, we're waiting to see whether Amaru or Team Nemesis will advance to face Playtime in the lower bracket. Good game tho from both teams, very satisfying to watch.

I only watched the major games yesterday since I don't trust the teams I was leaning toward, but anyway, here's my pick for the last two matches of the quarterfinals.

These two favorites are too good to lose, even though Falcons have the potential with Karrigan, I think it's still lacking against a near-perfect Vitality squad.

Two best teams in the region but I'll take the ml with the LGD for @1.42 odds.

Their series was way closer than the odds suggested, but at least LGD got it done in the final map after PlayTime fumbled their 30k networth lead.

I got lucky.

I was impressed of how it did end. I thought that Playtime will win the 3rd map, it's truly an intense game for that series. As for Amaru, they've won against Team Nemesis and right now it is Playtime against Amaru in the semi finals. But I'll be taking a bet for at least one map for amaru, I didn't know that K1 hector is there. And whoever wins on this match will face LGD in the finals.

That necro tiny was just about to end the game but it's hard, I thought that Playtime would get that and I was sleepy at that time but still managed to finish the game. And for the other regions, I'm not sure what happened to my bet with Execration against Cartensz, IIRC my bet push through but on my records I didn't have it.  

My amaru bet has lost, and now we're in the finals with Play time and LGD gaming. I've bet for Playtime just for at least map to win.

A strange incident occurred in the G2 vs. Team Spirit match today. On the Decider map, Heavygod received a community ban, and they were actually doing well. The moment he was banned, G2 lost the pistol round. The match went into overtime, and they were eliminated from the Major. It was a very long and problematic match. Currently, Falcons and Vitality are playing. They each won one map, and Falcons are currently leading on Dust2. Will Vitality be eliminated from the Major?

That community ban probably came from someone botting Valve's system, but it was impressive that they held their ground and were very close to snatching it away from Spirit.

On the other series, Falcons did it again and took out the best team to win the tournament. Zywoo and FlameZ underperformed in that final map and held Vitality back from completing the comeback. At one point, I thought Vitality was going to hold Falcons down to 11, but it required way too many rounds, and Falcons only needed a few more to close it out.

SEA dotes is now being played for the TI qualifier. My bet yesterday didn't appear on my history but it seems that there was a delay so, my bet with Execration won but lost with Playtime. And I am betting on the Rekonix/Grindback series for at least one map for the Grindback.



And for some cs2 match, that magixx 1v4 play was incredible. I've seen the clip and what a clutch.

That round was nuts. The other Spirit players pulled a fake execution on the A site and they all failed the gunfights against G2 while magixx went to the B site plant and pulled that out of the hat like it's magic.

For the first semis, i'm picking FURIA to win over Aurora. From the maps alone, it could go to all three maps, but i'm still trusting FURIA to be the victors since they have the better hitters.

I'm hype right now with most of the TI qualifiers bet that I've been losing, I'm in a losing streak. It's starting to make me look for some matches on the IEM to bet for.

I'm copying you on this one but you've got a better odds @1.62, I was quite late to have it for @1.45 but cheering for Furia this time.



Live odds are really tricky, before I post it it went down to 1.25

[Balmain]

Aurora was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Major. After the defeats in the World Cup, we had at least hoped to see the final in cs, but that didn't happen either. Woxic couldn't hold back his tears after the match. I think this will be their last game playing as a team of five Turks. A foreign coach was brought in, it will be a mixed team, otherwise they wouldn't have brought in a foreign coach. 1-2 players will leave the team by the end of the season. It would have been nice if we had at least seen that final.

[passwordnow]

I am happy that my losing streak has ended and thanks to the bet that I've copied from ralle.



IEM is now in the grand finals with Team Falcons and Furia. I'll wait for the bet of others before I place mine and hopefully that we can win it together.

[ralle14]

That bet could've gone either way because the first map was Dust 2 and it's one of Furia's weaker maps, but good thing Aurora wasn't in their best form.  

I've got Falcons to win later in the finals. There's not much value in taking the series winner, but I think this time they've got what it takes to complete the run and take the trophy.

I also saw that moment after the series, and it's heartbreaking to know that someone will get kicked in the offseason. Then again, it's for the better since they need a star player to keep up with the other top tier teams.

Man, I was really devastated after watching that performance on Dust2 and Nuke both... We were already like lost on Nuke by the way. We had no answer to FURIA there. 

I also think Aurora organization is likely to see big changes as of the end of this Major. Still congratulations to all of the players for reaching semi-final in a Major which is the biggest achievement for a team with 5 Turkish players.
