Yeah, they've belittled Team Spirit and they're still intact with that roster. I don't understand why the bookie made it like a giveaway for them. 
I thought that GL will also be able to beat LGD, they just went good against Liquid and that's their momentum.

The stand-in for Collapse probably made them doubt big time on Spirit, but still it was a coinflip when it got to that last map.

I think that I've seen them play with batyuk before but it's totally different if it's collapse. I guess that if ever collapse decided to stay away from the pro scene, he's the successor of his position since he's from yellow submarine which is owned by korb3n.

No Dota bets for me today, i'll hold until the playoffs start on Thursday. Also, what do you guys plan to take on those matches? I'm feeling Yandex 2-0 and Aurora, but i'm more confident in Yandex due to their individual players being better.

Welp, my bet for Nemiga gaming has lost but it's okay that they have won 1 game against mouz. As for the playoffs, I am not sure yet. LGD has been doing upsets since this current roster has started.

Alright, the games are coming later. I've already picked one match and that's with LGD/Yandex and going for LGD for win at least one map. I guess a good decision since the other match doesn't give good odd for this prop.

Team Yandex lost to Team Spirit with stand-in and my parlay lost too, probably they're looks on fire right now, if they won they will face PARI, I guess Team Yandex won't waste their time when facing LGD so I won't take that risk. This match I prefer Aurora to win the match cause as usual 1win performance still didn't good enough if I compare to other tier 1 teams. Good luck guys

I also locked Aurora yesterday, and i'll always go for these odds knowing 1win has been looking fraudulent, at least in my view. 

The only good thing I see for 1win is their hero pool, but for the individual matchups, I favor Aurora here.

That’s a really good rate seeing these odds, I’m going to back Aurora. Plus, Aurora landed the best possible matchup for the playoffs. 1win is the weakest team in the bracket. My prediction is that Aurora will reach the semifinals but get knocked out by Vitality there. Vitality lost a previous tournament final to Aurora, but beating them is no easy task.

Dang, I haven't seen the questions yet for the BSFL. I still think it's a draft dependent series, so it's not easy to gain an edge in this question.

I'm only liking Aurora by a slight margin because 1win left a bad impression on me after they didn't look like a tier-one team without their carry player in the previous event(PGL Wallachia S9).

I picked Aurora for BSFL just like you suggested but since my opponent had 1win on this I guess Im gonna hedge

With odds that juiced on the Yandex handicap, yeah better sprinkle or do a small bet on LGD and hope Yandex gets too cocky with their draft, like in the Spirit series.

ikr glad my gamble paid off. This bet had me worried for abit after they lost the 1st map that fast.

I think you misunderstood ralle's post there. He posted dota2 betslip not cs2. What are the chances that Aurora gonna face off 1win on exactly both cs2 and dota2 huh

The only good thing I see for 1win is their hero pool

Bolded part is the clue for the context, its not cs2 but I understand how you somehow misunderstood it

[LastKiss]

Right now this is what I'm thinking, over 2.5 maps for Aurora vs Team Spirit, Team Spirit were able to defeat Team Yandex but I want to see Aurora put a good fight here and at least both team will secure one win and force for a third map. Without Collapse in Team Spirit this should not impossible for Aurora to do. Hope for another great matches for today.

Nice bet there, you've won with Aurora together with ralle and 1win's going to face Parivision later which is a tough opponent for them. Me either, I've won my bet with LGD for at least one map but, Yandex won the series. And for the games later, I'm going with Aurora for at least one map, they have pretty good odds for that.

That was such a free win for Aurora, either way both teams are fucked, with Spirit and Parivision waiting in the next round.

I've got Spirit to win and Parivision 2-0 parlay since the odds is a bit lacking for a single bet. Parivision should lock it in today after yesterday's loss and I expect Spirit to keep their form rolling.

[Balmain]

Aurora beat 1win 2-0. Jimmpat has been such a great addition to the team. Xantares used to be a constant liability, but even he has bounced back now; the team is lifting him up, too. Every player goes through a slump perhaps he had one, but it’s over now. Vitality and Aurora are facing off tomorrow. I predict Vitality will win. Aurora actually beat Vitality in the semi-finals of the last tournament, though. It’s a tough match to call.

Thanks to Team Spirit draft in the second game, I guess they're trying something new with that OD carry. Aurora managed to secure one win because of that, Imagine if Team Spirit got proper draft in that second game, I doubt Aurora would won the game.

Looks like PARI were still warm-up in that game one, I saw their midlaner and offlaner didn't play that well in game one.

Two matches for today, Team Yandex vs Team Spirit rematch makes me to pick Team Yandex again, last time my parlay lost because Team Yandex lost to Team Spirit but I hope they will get their revenge this time.

They got outdrafted in that first game, as Pari showed their cards right away by first picking the Io and 1win answered well with the Brewmaster. Whoever gets sent down to the lower final will probably eliminate them because the cracks are starting to show on Parivision.

For the upper final match, i've got the over 2.5 maps. I think both teams can win, but I didn't want to settle for Yandex since Spirit already showed they can still fight back without Collapse.

That handicap didn't do though but Team Spirit won against Aurora and with their game a while ago against Team Yandex, they lost and now going to face in the lower bracket the team Parivision. My bet for Aurora for at least one map didn't win, Parivision beat them twice. We're on the semi finals and I've placed my bet with at least one map again for Team Spirit.

Both games Team Spirit were just having bad early phase against Team Yandex, I wonder if they're really curious in OD carry or still figuring something new draft for the team.

I'm expecting a good fight here from Team Spirit and hoping that they're not picking that OD again, so I'm choosing PARI and Team Spirit will have three maps to be played. Hopefully another masterpiece games to watch today, good luck guys.

That draft was disgusting from Spirit, because that OD carry already failed badly in the other series. I get that they want to try a different approach but the hero isn't fit for the carry role similar to how Parivision tried pulling a Storm Spirit carry at one point.

Great to see we're on the same page for this series by betting on the over. I wanted to go for Spirit's handicap initially, but the odds were a bit lacking compared to the over and I assume that if Spirit gets one, then this goes to all three maps.

Aurora didn’t perform too badly at the ESL Pro League tournament. I see signs of improvement. We only lost to Vitality and the Falcons, which I’d say were acceptable losses. In the third-place match against Spirit, we managed to finish the tournament in third place with a strong performance. I’d say XANTARES had a tournament where he returned to his former form. It’s encouraging to see him back to his old self like this on XANTARESPEEK. He’ll need occasional support from Wicadia and Jimphaat as well.

[Balmain]

Aurora is making excellent progress as a team they finished third in the ESL Pro League after defeating Team Spirit 2-0. If Aurora can somehow manage to beat Vitality, it feels like there won't be any obstacles left in their path, and their chances of winning tournaments will skyrocket. The Counter-Strike they are playing right now is genuinely exciting. They are performing beautifully. Xantares has really found his aim again, I don't know what changed I honestly didn't think he'd play at this level again but the "Terminator" is back. Meanwhile, Vitality crushed Mouz 3-0. As I said, if Aurora manages to beat Vitality a few times, they could well end up taking home plenty of trophies.

[ralle14]

Spirit pulled the upset and cashed my over, but it's still interesting to see a noticeable gap between them and Yandex in the finals.

I'm surprised they took third place because Spirit looked a bit better after taking out Falcons, but I guess Spirit was only good for one series.

With the Thunderpick tournament kicking off on the 14th, I think they have a good shot at winning the event since Falcons and maybe FURIA are the only real threats at the top level.

I was very impressed of how easy for Team Spirit the map 1 was. But then, the struggle came with the next maps and having ATF for Yandex is big buff, no offense to DM. Next tournament is the Dream League qualifiers for all regions.

There are actually two things going on here, Aurora is on the rise. Team Spirit might still be good, perhaps they weren't as focused because it was a third-place match. I think that played a role. I’m glad Aurora secured third place so easily. I wish you the best of luck for the Thunderpick tournament.
