ESL Pro League is about to kick off in around 30 minutes from now with Heroic vs Rooster and BIG vs Monte.

This first match for their groups can be seen here on the official ESL youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69ZHenWY-VE

I'm pretty confused with the Big vs. Monte odd. Their odds are almost equal at 1.78 v 1.95 despite BIG winning a comfortable 2-0 against Monte in the CCT grand final last week. Or am I missing something? Anyway, I'm gonna bet on BIG hoping they can win again this time. As for Heroic vs. Roster, no question it's gonna be so one-sided

Nice call! I missed yesterday matches and i probably would have bet monte so i got saved! 
 
I absolutely do not trust heroic anymore and i think best bet is to just bet BIG handicap on every map or take them live

Also gotta take a shot at those big EG odds as mouz havent shown anything with this lineup to justify such big odds 

Okay i did not expect a clean win for heroic but 2-0 BIG
Surely no one saw that coming lol 

EG are currently down 5 rounds on their own map so thats a bust

Surprised at the topson announcement , i dont think thats an upgrade and it might hurt tundra sadly

The match was close actually so the odd was kinda deserved, but still a good win regardless.

Yeah, I'm sure it was a surprise for everyone. Heroic did play well decimating Rooster in the first stage so this BIG upset was totally unexpected. Props to BIG, they really played well, even outplayed and outsmarted Heroic players in some Ancient rounds. I guess they anti-stratting them quite well.

For today's matches, I'm going to bet on some underdogs again, i.e. Rooster and MIBR. Not betting on Heroic vs. Mouz match cause I don't think Mouz can replicate what BIG did yesterday

I guess the rumors are true because yesterday, Tundra announced that Saksa has to take a break because of his health and will be benched from the active roster. I hope he can recover from his mental health issue this time and bounce back in the next DPC season.

That means the Topson announcement might be the next thing we're looking forward to since Gorgc leaked his friends list on stream and Topson was found playing with the rest of Tundra's squad.

Wow, Tundra has officially unveiled Topson as a player ahead of The International 2023  

They even made an official video!

He have replaced Saksa in the lineup. You remember that he won the international 2 times with OG. I hope he doesn't have any health problems. Anyway, I will watch his game with great interest. Tundra had odds of 5.3 to win on TI 12, I wonder how the bookmakers will change it now

Nice, good to know that Topson will be playing on this TI. I guess he's the luckiest player ever and I think that Tundra has to choose between him and ana.

While he replaced Saksa, he's not going to play the role that he replaced. But instead, it's going to be Nine that shall play position 4 and then Topson stays at position 2.

I think that this is a dangerous team on the TI. I just hope that it won't break the expectation of the majority. Remember that a good player that has transitioned into a support basically is going to be better than it.

I agree, i am loving to bet against heroic these days but I dont think mouz should give them any sort of issues whatsoever,

I think heroic  -3.5 should be pretty safe bet on their map pick especially

Previously i had MIBR map 1 but they got destroyed and now they are winning the next 2 maps

Anyway, I will watch his game with great interest. Tundra had odds of 5.3 to win on TI 12,

That's small to be considered but I don't want to get into those odds on what is their chance of winning the TI12. I can say that all of the teams there now have the chance to win it. I'll bet per game and if I'll go with the TI12 winner, it's quite hard to decide on it now.

I wonder how the bookmakers will change it now

If that was the current odd, I guess that it's really going to change into a lower one. It's a solid team and also a former TI champ but, it's always been hard dota for all of these participating teams.

[ralle14]

While waiting for the Dacha tournament tomorrow, I have this small league parlay for today since it's rare for good teams to get swept. It might be worth adding to your parlays and take note that all teams are already qualified for the Worlds 2023, so they're only playing for the seeding.

I checked and saw their outright odds currently sitting between 7.00 - 8.20. It's fair enough for the bookies to adjust and lower their odds since we still don't know if Topson will have good synergy with the rest of the team.

[dbshck]

Previously i had MIBR map 1 but they got destroyed and now they are winning the next 2 maps 

Haha I was worried after the first map but they got it as expected Been having a good streak lately.

I agree, i am loving to bet against heroic these days but I dont think mouz should give them any sort of issues whatsoever,

I think heroic  -3.5 should be pretty safe bet on their map pick especially

Welp, what a lackluster performance from Heroic. This is uncharacteristic of them. Would they lose again tonight vs. Monte? Still decent odd on Monte for 3.51. I'm not skipping this time.


Another thing, MOUZ was beaten by MIBR in the first round but now they are the heavy favorite after winning that Heroic game should be an easy +1.5 for MIBR at least.

I decided not to bet on a specific team winning the TI12. Several past internationals have proven to us more than once that any team can win. It is this unpredictability that fascinates me every time before the start of the next TI. Team Spirit is one of the most striking examples of this. There were no expectations from the team before the TI10 – the odds for Spirit to win were 28 to 1  

As for TUNDRA and its odds for victory with the arrival of Topson, it hasn't changed and remains the same. (I only checked odds at one site, others may have changed it)

Another lackluster performance by Heroic. They lost against Monte again. It is a mistake for me to bet to them after losing to MOUZ. I thought it was just a fluke but after losing to Monte again, I think it is not time to bet for Heroic in this tournament.

MOUZ is consistent though, they won their match against MIBR with an easy sweep.

As for TUNDRA and its odds for victory with the arrival of Topson, it hasn't changed and remains the same. (I only checked odds at one site, others may have changed it)

In my opinion, it should probably lower the odds of them winning TI. Topson is a great player but I do not see him fitting the system / play style of Tundra. Though they still have a month to figure out how Topson will fit into their system, it is very narrow window of time. I would like to see Topson play with them though.


BetBoom Dacha will start today. It has a total prize pool of  $250,000 with the winner taking the lion's share of the prize of $150,000. The group stage will start later opening with BetBoom vs Team Secret.

Here are the matches later.

Something is wrong with them at the moment. Losing three BO3s in a row against lower tier team is a red flag. I hope they didn't change anyone before CS2.

MOUZ is consistent though, they won their match against MIBR with an easy sweep.

MIBR almost had it in Vertigo but they didn't show up at all in Inferno. Congrats on the win!


I'm betting on MIBR again for today. Also excited to see how BIG will perform against a tier 1 team in peak form.

I actually did not win since it is parlayed with Heroic series which lost. Heroic broke my parlay.

And since ESL Pro will resume in on Wednesday, I am betting on DOTA 2 for the meantime. Bet Boom Dacha is on right now and I have a bet on the last match between TSM and Team Secret. It is BO2 so I bet on a draw. TSM won against Evil Genius yesterday and which should put them ahead, but the addition of Sumail in Team Secret might make Team Secret a good team (even though they were bad the whole year). I think they will be equal and will end the series on a draw.



I got a good start today with a parlay win on the matches earlier. Hopefully, I could end the day with a win in the last series of the day. That would end my day with a bang.

Team Secret is on a roll after taking down TSM 2-0. The first game was a toss-up and almost went in TSM's way but the PA plus the Pango casting long range swashbuckles and daggers (clip) gave Team Secret the edge on the later stages of the game.

With Team Secret only one map win away from securing one of the two upper-bracket seeds, i've decided to place a small bet on them to win the first game against EG. I know they could lose this and still win the second game to qualify but I think it's worth betting per map when they could potentially win both games to avoid facing Gaimin Gladiators in the playoffs.

Taking live betboom 2-0 vs TSM  as tsm have drafted troll map  1 

For the next series as well taking 9pandas 2-0  for 2.6 odds

Had GG  earlier and they absolutely played map 2  for fun and lost to nigma galaxy, so embarassing

What a throw by BetBoom in the first map and that troll draft somehow worked for TSM. Now they're the first team to be eliminated in the tournament since every other team in their group has at least one 2-0. I feel you on GG's performance in map 2, and it's why I avoid relying on teams once they're already qualified for the playoffs.

Team Secret also threw the first map earlier against EG. It felt like they should've won that if they played it safe and didn't overextend in that extended team fight around the 45+ minute mark.

yea this should have been clean 2-0 for betboom

Map 2 wasnt even close and they somehow choked map 1 after 16-17k lead

TSM were getting picked off 1 by 1 in map 1 but then betboom did  the same thing.... gambling can be so frustrating and infuriating at times

[rdbase]

ESL Pro League is starting up again mid-week with these teams taking on the challenge in their groups:
Natus Vincere vs Syclone
Apeks vs M80
Faze Clan vs 9z
Imperial vs Fnatic

Begins in about 25 minutes so get your picks in quick!
I have Apeks to win their match against a team I never have heard of before M80.

Games are live now for the BetBoom Dacha, I've missed the first match of Team Secret and beastcoast but it ended well for Team Secret owning beastcoast with a 2-0 win.

We're now on the first game of TSM and Gaimin Gladiators. So, the crowd is obviously eyeing for the GG as they're known for dominating this year but not with the past tournament of Riyadh Masters.

I pity Quinn in the pubs, he gets reported despite even not saying a thing or two. 

[ralle14]

GG surprisingly dropped a map against TSM but they still got things done on the decider game.

Both favorites in the lower bracket seem like a solid combo but i'm only taking EG to win @1.7 since I see TSM got a good chance at taking out 9Pandas. I like EG a lot because Beastcoast continues to look mediocre and EG beat Team Secret earlier in the groups.

[boltz]

I think Secret will snatch BetBoom Dacha tournament trophy as they really look unstoppable with Sumail on mid right ? So far , puppey have draft in a way to make Sumail more free on the map to rotate and pick fights whenever he wants and so far it worked.

I'm also quite sad for Jim Park on BC as the hype around him was pretty massive before he arrived but he still needs to prove himself and so far he didn't. Maybe , he will beat EG as the game just started.

I had too much faith on Secret to win but at least they tried to play their best game against GG but still didn't work. I also start to think that GG had plot armor  because I've never seen such a team who has perfect plays and perfect teamfights.

Today they will face TSM , a team who is playing a different type of meta so far and I'm expecting them to take at least 1 map away from GG.
