G2 didnt even show up today vs faze. lose 0-2 and got only 15 rounds 

meanwhile ence got stomped map 1 but i think they win map 2 and then the series 

[boyptc]

I don't understand what's the need for the tiebreaker, I just don't get that 1v1 tiebreaker when all of them that participated there were already qualified to the playoffs.

All of them are in upperbracket and whoever is going to lose to their matches will be sent there. So, there's really no connection for the tiebreaker and the placing of theirs on the upper bracket.

Btw, I am talking about the BetBoom Dacha in Duba for DOTA 2.

G2 was so off during that series and Niko couldn't even win the crucial 1v1 fights when he knew someone would be on the flank or lurking at a certain angle.

And ENCE is unfortunate they had to face Team Falcons, who are somewhat familiar with their playstyle since half of their players used to play for them.

I don't know if that's really caffeine and the fans screaming.
I am talking about this.
OpTic Maniac on iLLeY's Adderal Interview!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QifsWsTc0HM

Look at those eyes.
But I don't want to be judgmental, it's just my opinion. It seems to me like he was high on something.
Could be Adderall.

ADDERALL IN ESPORTS – WHY IS IT A PROBLEM
Adderall in esports is considered a performance-enhancing drug. While typically prescribed to deal with ADHD, it is widely used recreationally for fun and also as an aid to help concentration and technical skill. Students use it when writing essays or studying, and esports players use it to increase their performance. Even our own editor recall to using it recreationally during DreamHack over a decade ago just to stay awake for the event. He also recalls esports players using the same “batch” during the event.

Here is the comparison of the interview. And take note, fans are screaming and booing at that moment too.

His head is high, he talks confidently, and there is no stuttering on the first part. Then, it's like a different person after especially with all the hand gestures.

So 'dopping' made their way onto esport scene as well huh

Whats your though about FAZE vs MOUZ, I personally took FAZE -1.5 on this lol and now Im abit regretting this because this game kinda scream over 2.5 maps for me

There is actually a reason for that because some teams would most likely want to avoid certain teams from the other groups. Like for example, most teams would most likely want to avoid Team Spirit from Group B hence all the reason to win their 1v1. Look at Nisha for example, after he won the 1st game he then forfeited the next one because thats the best result for them to avoid meeting against Team Spirit

[sunsilk]

I thought that this is for Dota 2 as he looks like the old Ammar of Falcons that have been trending recently because his teammates wants to fist bump on him but he didn't responded.

He may not be a fan of it but I think that it's just that the context is that, the win that they've taken was game 1 and there's still a game 2 coming so he doesn't want to be comfortable with that.

But a simple fist bump response won't hurt him, right? 

[ralle14]

Whats your though about FAZE vs MOUZ, I personally took FAZE -1.5 on this lol and now Im abit regretting this because this game kinda scream over 2.5 maps for me

I'm also leaning on that series going over three maps because MOUZ is a decent team and FaZe's performance isn't as impressive, unlike Team Spirit.

Looks like FaZe swept MOUZ under the rug ! Well not really, MOUZ was almost able to hold them off in the 2nd map but yeah it was pretty close right there. It looks like the other team that would potentially make it to the final would be Team Spirit and this could be another potential 2-0 for Team Spirit against Faze in the final again. Meanwhile lets bet another one on Team Spirit vs Falcons

Congrats on the wins for both series and surprisingly, betting on the playoffs has been great with all the favorites delivering the wins. I assume the grand finals would be the same when Team Spirit is performing like they're the team to beat in this tournament.

Also, with the BB tournament later today, i'll be making a parlay on both Team Spirit(Dota and CS), as they're both favorites at around 1.4 decimal odds.

You really gave me an idea to try



Both teams are pretty dominant in this tournament so I really wish I hit this, although this one is relatively at smaller stake than I usually bet but hey its going to be pretty nice to hit this bet though. Honestly, Im quite unsure with Team Spirit on dota2 but I bet its going to be relatively easy 2-0 for Team Spirit on cs2

Donk and the boys delivered against Faze, while Yatoro and the gang got outdrafted so hard by Gaimin Gladiators. I guess Gaimin Gladiator is back to playoffs mode because that 2-0 win against Team Spirit was too clean from start to finish.

We have a few lower-bracket matches today and who would've expected all the higher-seeded teams are one series away from elimination? 

I'm only sticking with the Team Spirit series and skipping the Team Liquid series because LGD looked worse, and the other series is somewhat off, with XG being overvalued mainly because of their better group stage results.

Both Chinese teams, XG and LGD are already out of the tournament.

I've watched the game of Team Spirit and LGD and it's a very easy game for Team Spirit. It's like TS is on a steroids and both maps are too easy for them.

Team Liquid also won 2-0 against XG. There's still one hope for the China region and that's with Azure Ray and their match against Team Falcons will happen tomorrow.

I forgot to bet on the lower bracket lol. That was a good odds for Team Spirit. Seems pretty weird to e that both the chinese team are on top of the group stage but both of them cant do shit on the playoff then got wiped out 2-0 on both upper and lower bracket games. is it safe to even conclude that China region's dominance has been declining ?

Betting -1.5 for GG and Team Falcons to win. If GG win 2-0 against Team Spirit then I dont see any reason they would lose against Betboom

Donk was the real deal in Katowice as he got the tournament's MVP award.
DONK EQUALS BIG EVENT RECORD RATING TO EARN IEM KATOWICE MVP

Niko held that record since 2017 from ESL One in New York.
Heard form a Esports chat he was getting some massive kills and ADR during the match so didn't doubt this performance.

Okay this is odd. GG managed to win 2-0 against Team Spirit only to be wiped out by BetBoom for another 2-0. For some reason BetBoom has been pretty dominant in this tournament since playoff. I guess they dont really wanna looks like bunch of clowns on their main sponsor's tournament huh. GG against Team Liquid on the lower bracket would be another classic game between these two teams again with GG probably dominating the rounds

Seems like last patch really nerfed Team Spirit heroes pool a lot right ? I mean the play style is still there but somehow they are losing most of the fights and Azure Ray is about to eliminate Team Spirit from Betboom Dacha Dubai 2024.

Also , my bet is actually on BetBoom to win this tournament but I can also see Liquid finally winning a tournament with since Nisha joined because they lost too many finals last year against GG. ( I'm also very happy for GG being eliminated )

Well there are 2 more rounds to go considering that they will stay in upper bracket before they win the tournament. BetBoom wasnt that impressive in group stage so its kinda shocking for me. Kinda unexpected for GG to lose against Team Liquid but atleast we all know this year wont be a boring year for us because the winner of these top tier tournaments are going to be different most likely ( GG literally dominated last year, ngl )

Going for -1.5 on BetBoom tomorrow

[rohang]

G2 didnt even show up today vs faze. lose 0-2 and got only 15 rounds 

meanwhile ence got stomped map 1 but i think they win map 2 and then the series 

And now they win today in opposite 2-0 fashion 
They are through to the first CS2 RMR 

Meanwhile its only Day 2 and NIP is already out after going 0-3



such a legendary CS name finishing dead last is pretty sad to look at

[rdbase]

^^
Watched the end of the match with the score already 12-6 against NiP so they lost badly.
With their prospect Donk Team Spirit should rise the ranks now the same with G2 when m0NESY joined their squad.
Just finished watching this mini-docu on this player:
