Donk holds the record for the highest Elo rating ever recorded on FACEIT with 5434 points, surpassing Mail09's previous record of 5415. His frequent participation in tournaments has allowed him to consistently rank number one in the world on FaceIT, setting new records. He started Season 8 with an Elo rating of 3935 and increased it by 1499 points in 152 matches. With the season nearing its end, he could increase his rating even further. This kid is going to break every record imaginable in the CS arena.

It’s time for a player change at PARIVISION. FL1T has joined the squad in place of Hobbit, and I think this is a significant change for them. FL1T is a player who has the potential to add strength to the squad. Whilst I don’t think PARIVISION’s dip in form is entirely down to the players, I do believe this transfer will at least help them start to turn things round a little. I have my doubts about Slaxejezzz; he’s young and lacks experience, but he’ll settle in over time.

It wouldn't hurt to keep on changing while they can, and their run with Hobbit in the XSE tournament might've just been a trial to see if he was a good fit. Bringing in FL1T should be a safe play for them since he used to play with Jame back in their days with VP and Outsiders.

Good luck to this, they're likely to win it but I haven't decided yet if I'll also go for them since it's not yet appearing on my account what to bet for. No games yet and I'll wait until tomorrow or by 30 or by the next day for the other tournaments to start with and that's with two, the essence II and games of the future.

That bet might not be your cup of tea as it's an outright bet. The odds are usually better for individual matches, so we'd better wait until the draft show is done and the matchups are officially announced later.

Yeah, I've skipped it since there will be upcoming tournaments back for dota 2. What I usually do is to bet in advance depending on my knowledge even there's no draft yet. And my bet for Amaru has been voided because they forfeit, and that's good because I should have lost it. Well, the upcoming one later is sponsored by 1win, the essence 2. Best of 2 series which is I'm likely to lose money lol but here it goes, a total kills for map 1 of Nigma and 1win.

At least it's better than EPL, so I'm taking my chances with 1win although they didn't perform very well last time and lost to Vici Gaming in EWC. I hope they can turn things around especially with TI just around the corner, they need to get back into their best performance. I believe that total kills should be hit.



We also got Team Falcon vs Vici Gaming, kinda looking forward to watch them and expecting Team Falcon will get their revenge here.

The quarterfinal matchups for the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 Finals have been announced. Liquid will face Spirit. This will be one of the most critical matchups. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the winner here will advance all the way to the finals. Liquid secured their spot in the quarterfinals by defeating both Vitality and G2 2-0. We have to say that Liquid has really made a name for itself in a short time with its new roster. Spirit is, of course, the favorite in this match, but Liquid has become a team capable of pulling off an upset.

Got lucky to win the very first series of this essence II.

Congratulations to your win, 1win has won easy 2 games against Nigma Galaxy.

Team Falcons beat VG, easy game for them. 11 minutes on 2nd map to win. Tomorrow, BetBoom and Liquid will play, I'll put some money on Team Liquid to win 1 map.

It's hard to see Donk playing with a KD below 1.70 anymore. He's even made his record high rating of 1.70 seem ordinary. They beat Liquid 2-0 in Blast Bounty, and Donk carried the team again. Tn1r's contribution on Dust2 was also quite good. Dust2 is Team Spirit's best map in terms of team play. It's an easy tournament for Team Spirit; they eliminated important rivals like Vitality.

[ralle14]

I missed the first day of 1win essence, and i'm surprised to see Nigma already 0-2 in the group. I might as well try and hope the downfall continues since Falcons are likely getting top 2 if they beat them in today's match.

I also saw others expecting a close 2-1 series, but Spirit on LAN is just different. Despite Liquid not getting a map, their improvement with Jorko still looks promising. I hope Spirit's form stays this clean so I don't have to sweat my outright bet.

Nigma put up a good fight against 1win tho, they really made me sweat while watching both the first and second games.

Vici Gaming probably testing their draft against Team Falcons, they picked Vengeful Spirit again after using it against Nigma probably thinking the pick would work once more or not but they ended up getting stomped.

As for me, I'm picking a draw for Team Liquid vs BetBoom, looking at the other matchups and the odds that's the matchup I'm most confident to bet.

Yeah Team Falcon looks very good here as long as they didn't doing something new... also there's new patch just came out so I'm expecting something unexpected like new heroes probably.

Yes, they still did put a good fight with it but 1win is stronger than them miles for those two games.

VG lost 0-2 against Team Falcons, I think they are their kryptonite. The BB Liquid game, ended in favor of Liquid as they won 2-0 against BB.



My next bet is different for the upcoming game of BB and LGD. I chose BB to reach the first 10 kills on map 1.

[ralle14]

That was such a rare 2-0 from Liquid, but BetBoom asked for it when they kept drafting Dark Willow, Undying, and Dark Seer in both games.

My Falcons ticket also easily cashed as Nigma's game plan didn't work. They probably saw ATF's clean Necrophos from yesterday, though the impact wasn't the same when Falcons were barely getting pressured and still hit their item timings.

I'm skipping the last few days of the group stage and switching to CS2's Blast tournament since there are only three matches left before they wrap the event. I'll double down on Spirit and go further by taking them to win 2-0. FaZe barely put away the MongolZ, and against legit tier 1 opposition, I don't see them keeping up with someone like donk.

[Balmain]

Donk's carrying didn't continue in this match. They also beat Faze 2-1. Although Donk wasn't that effective in this match Sh1ro was the more prominent player. That's why Team Spirit was so good; even without Donk carrying, their other players could have carried the team individually. I saw Donk below a 1 rating for the first time in a long time, but it didn't matter Team Spirit managed to win even if Donk wasn't having a good day.

That was such a weird series from Spirit, and it looked scary when FaZe was three rounds away from closing out that series on Anubis, but then it took them forever to win a single gun round after the pistol plus conversion rounds.

Mouz also had a close series against Astralis, but they had to pull a reverse sweep starting from their map pick, and then it was smooth sailing heading into Dust 2.

In the finals, i'm still running it back with the Spirit handicap since the moneyline isn't worth taking when it's juiced. The map pool favors Spirit, and this is their series to lose given they're a step better in every aspect.

VG lost 0-2 against Team Falcons, I think they are their kryptonite. The BB Liquid game, ended in favor of Liquid as they won 2-0 against BB.

With Team Liquid clean sweep over BetBoom I lost my bet and decided not to bet yesterday. Grats keep the win streak bro.

It looks like BetBoom is trying something new with their drafts, when against LGD, they picked IO as their carry and it worked they defeated LGD in Game 1 with that draft. Another unexpected result was Team Falcon getting defeated by OG.

On the last day of the group stage, I think Team Liquid can pull off another clean sweep, so I'm betting on Team Liquid to beat LGD.

[Jossque]

In another BLAST Bounty semifinal match, we watched Astralis take on MOUZ. Both Astralis and MOUZ managed to win their respective maps, and on the decider map, MOUZ—which started with a 10-2 lead on the T-side—went on to win the match. Astralis gave up too many rounds on the CT-side of Dust2, and of course, it was difficult to mount a comeback from there. jabbi was the team’s standout player, but his efforts weren’t enough. On MOUZ, torzsi made his mark as the AWPer and was undoubtedly the MVP of the match.

That's okay, there are times that we'll lose and thanks. Lucky that I'm currently in a streak and hopefully it won't end with my next bet.



And this is the next bet, I'm saying. First map of Nigma and OG is done, Nigma won but I think 2nd map is with OG. OG beat 2-0 Team Falcons yesterday in an absolute cinema games.

[execijutiere]

BC Game managed to win its first tournament with its new roster without losing a single match. In fact, we can say they didn’t even lose a single map in this tournament. Following their results in the Elisa Breakout Series 1—a tournament that could be considered C-tier—they secured the 84th spot in the Valve rankings. In terms of individual performance in the tournament, Senszu really stood out. As the IGL for Magisk, he was the team’s third-highest frager in this tournament.

[Balmain]

Xantares said years ago that in any highly competitive environment, even the best team can be beaten, even 13-0, and he was so right. Today, we saw that in the match where we were absolutely certain Team Spirit would win. Mouz seems to have assembled a good roster for now it will become clearer in the next big tournaments.

Easy game for OG in Game 2 

LGD forfeited their match so another one of my bet got voided. I was too late to look on another game because I didn't realize fast enough that LGD had withdrawn from the tournament. So I'm going with a parlay instead, OG and Team Liquid to win their series. Hopefully I don't mess up my parlay by picking OG here.
