I can't believe that GG beat Spirit 2-0 and they did it in fashion because both games were in the hand of Team Spirit but the perfect defensive fights from GG eventually made them winners.

Unfortunately BB lost as well but I really can't blame them because Falcons are right now the best team in the world and also having the best offlaner in the world but also the best coach in the world alongside them. So pretty much this team is destined to greatness.

Anyway, Im backing XG -1.5 against OG tonight

XG at game 1.

And as the game 2 is in progress at 20 minute mark, it seems that this is going to be an XG game again.

Its totally a bullshit. XG dominated map 1 and also dominated map 2 on early of the game which should have gone as expected but yeah they somehow lose the game. Well not that it really matters for me anymore on game 3 but its just frustating to watch that XG had to lose after dominating the early game again. I've said this few times, not really fond of SEA and chinese teams but I have a soft spot for Ame so totally would love to see him on top again to try and win TI

I also had the same bet on that series and thought it was a wrap after seeing the Mirana pick on game 2, then their draft started to lack damage as the game went on. On the decider game, XG's Leshrac had a good performance, it's just not enough for the win when OG's lineup had more impactful cores that shifted the fights like Bzm's Razor linking the Gyro to become useless in engagements.

I've set up this multi on two of the best teams (Falcons and BetBoom), as they're the only ones i'd trust without checking the drafts.

[boltz]

Nothing can stop Falcons right ? I mean , having 3-4k$ gold advantage before minute 5 almost every game is just pure evil. No team could survive such a dominating team that the desire to simply crush the other players and it's all due to AUI2000 in my opinion who once again found an unbreakable strategy in Dota 2 as first time he did it with Tundra ( aura build and minions ) and now with Falcons he is going with triple STRENGTH core most of the time or 3 cores that really have a lot of HP and armor.

That's why only BetBoom had the guts to actually pick magic damage against them but even that strategy didn't work against them and if Valve won't release a patch soon , I'm afraid Falcons will dominate the entire year in Dota 2 pro scene , including winning TI.

Gratz on winning this

This is the best statement I've read so far lol for real yeah those two teams are the only teams capable of winning so far. It seems we even have the same agreement on this because our answers are the same on BSFL as well lol. We both picked Falcons and BB for the final

Anyway, I think OG is doing pretty good job so far. They are not the best team around but they are still pretty good, so Im taking my chances on -1.5 for them

[passwordnow]

I can't believe that GG beat Spirit 2-0 and they did it in fashion because both games were in the hand of Team Spirit but the perfect defensive fights from GG eventually made them winners.

Team Spirit seems to be not in their whole form. Those games especially with yatoro's phantom assassin was a game that's too scary because GG don't even want to push because Team Spirit is able to defend their throne strongly. And it all ended with a strong push by GG with Quinn's leshrac and I do even think that drachyo's weaver is useless on that game. A weaver that has an aeon disk, they should have ended it too early but then GG still won the game.

Anyway, I think OG is doing pretty good job so far. They are not the best team around but they are still pretty good, so Im taking my chances on -1.5 for them

On the first two days, they were not doing well but after the 3rd and 4th day, they do. But this time on 5th day against Aurora, they've just lost their very first game. I don't know what happened but Aurora's lineup picks did well on that match. I guess this is the first time that I've seen someone use terrorblade as position 5 played by Oli. I don't know if it was an intentional pick or a wrong pick during the draft phase. I've seen position 5 heroes played like with void but not this one. Well, as said by ceb and notail before, if it works it ain't stupid.

Those two are like the new unstoppable teams, and we might see them clash more often in future tournaments if they can consistently perform like this.

After OG faced BetBoom, and Falcons in their first two series, it's only looking better for them, but they still can't avoid going through the distance in most of their series. I'm sorry to see your ticket being ruined by Aurora even though they did well in copying the Sven pick from Falcons.

After seeing these above bets placed and the results of these teams, it made me decide to place a bet on the BetBoom vs Team Spirit match while it was still in progress for map 1.
Team Spirit looked as if they were on the verge of a comeback but BetBoom had something called Cronos that just destroyed all their players right at the end when it was still 36-23 for the first map.
Not sure what odds they were prematch but the esport bookies still have confidence Team Spirit can still make a game of it.

[boltz]

I feel bad for Aurora being already eliminated from Group Stage 2 but at this point , I really can't figure it out what is wrong with this team because they really have a line up that could beat 90% of current dota 2 pro teams and yet , they fail doing so. Maybe it's the farm management that 23 needs to learn because most of the times he ends up on 1st place on networth but he doesn't go to team fights and that is where they lose a lot of farm across the map , they lose map domination and later they end up losing the game...

Well kinda expected shitty situation to unfold there. I mean Aurora is already on the brink of not going to get to the playoff stage so totally no pressure on them at all but I didnt expect OG to win after losing 1 map there.

So what bet did you ended up taking? Team Spirit won the 2nd and 3rd map though so if you bet on them after they lose the 1st map then I guess you should be getting decent odds from there. Anyway even if BetBoom lose against Team spirit, I dont think it really matters because they will still get the upper bracket if they win against Aurora tomorrow

They have a stand in midlaner and that's one reason why their plays aren't synched. But I think that they did well but this tournament is just full of the greatest teams in the world and there will always be those teams that just can't do against with any of them. With my analysis, we're the same looking at 23savage as the weakest link. He's not the other carry of other teams that can adjust well and even helps during the early games. There's a need for him to upgrade his game and not the farming game because he's no doubt one of the good farmers out there.

But this is a team game, a team fight and that's what he needs to look at. He needs to review the other teams on how they're going on with team fights completely with 5 heroes if they can. But if they can give space to him, at least when he sees his team having to struggle with the clashes, he needs to step up and help the team. It's not always about the farm but the space and team fights that they're winning because after that, farming will be easier for him if he does help. He's still a kid I guess but I hope that he'd listen to the advise especially with their coach sunbhie if ever he sees that weak form of his. Other than that, Falcon is just too strong on these tournaments and they're like the former Tundra Esports that we used to like to watch and considered one of the greatest.

True, and earlier they're the only team to end Falcon's 10-0 map streak in the groups.  

I used to think the same during their series against Xtreme Gaming, but after that, i've learned it's never over for them until the ancient drops or call GG.

On the final day of the second group stage, these two are what I think is safe enough to take. With Team Spirit taking out the second-best team BetBoom yesterday, beating OG should be an easier task so they could lock one of the two LB playoff spots. BetBoom still needs a win for the second UB playoff spot and I assume the best Aurora can get is a map win.

Placed my bet on BetBoom but after they lost map 2 (which the score was 17-16 so I guess they lost it because of having their tower taken) cashed out.
What is this move done during the game, think it is called Crono. They engulf all players in a sphere of black to inflict massive damage.
Yeah, so just knew the oddsmaker had Team Spirit as the more dominant team going in. After getting 1-1 the odds flipped to 1.02 BB and 1.82 Spirit.

Just watching Aurora vs BetBoom where they are winning 14-9. Believe it is map 1.

Well I decided to chill for today because I've been losing alot like alot though and its frustating lol. I was so close on taking BetBoom -1.5 as well but I decided not to eventually lol, I would have lost another one if I had taken it

Anyway, the last game for today would be GG vs XG. I cant recall the last time GG missed a playoff so they should be the safe bet for this last game though but the I just checked the odds and it sucks so bad. Its only 1.65 for GG to win and Im not buying it, not even gonna think of taking -1.5 because I might got screwed again lol

Chronosphere ? yeah it basically stop everyone inside that sphere and the hero that casted it would be able to do damage inside that sphere unless it is interrupted

Just watching Aurora vs BetBoom where they are winning 14-9. Believe it is map 1.

Well instead of the kill score, you might wanna look at the gold difference instead because thats where everything matters. Its on the score tab as well, there should be small print of the gold differences there. Sometimes the other team could have gotten alot more kill but they might not have higher gold overall

[passwordnow]

That's chronosphere, an ultimate skill of Faceless Void ~ https://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/skill/chronosphere-56

Chronosphere ? yeah it basically stop everyone inside that sphere and the hero that casted it would be able to do damage inside that sphere unless it is interrupted

Yeah, he's the only one that can move inside and another catch here is that when rubick copies that chronosphere then only two of them can move inside of it if Rubick is the one that casted that. Otherwise, it's only Faceless Void at all times can move there and all of his controlled units including illusions.

Where are the OG fans here? They're the next team that's eliminated from this Dreamleague. I'm just confused about this final match and points system, Team Spirit is currently at the 3rd rank with a stats of 9-9, while XG and GG are fighting now (1-0 goes to XG). If XG wins this, is it going to be a triple tie or it is going to be a tie breaker between XG and GG. I am not sure how the calculation goes upon reading this points system for this whole group stages. But if XG wins this, I think that GG is the next team that shall get eliminated. CMIIW.
Or I'll just have to wait and see who's going to win this series.

[sunsilk]

I've said this few times, not really fond of SEA and chinese teams but I have a soft spot for Ame so totally would love to see him on top again to try and win TI

Well, while this game was already done. There's like this the same sickness of SEA and Chinese teams that even when they have been dominating at the early game, during the mid-game to late game, that's where they're choking.

On the other hand, XG was able to get into the playoffs together with the other three remaining team. But XG's bracket is on the lower bracket semifinal and they will be up against Team Spirit. While for the upper bracket, it's going to be BetBoom and Team Falcons.

Four teams remaining and what do you think about this type of formatting? The semis seems to be quicker to end but I like more the group stages because it has 2 phases and we're able to watch more games.

See this is why I should shut my mouth up because everything has been going the opposite of what I wrote / said. My losing streak in dota2 is just unbelievable. Well not really losing streak but I lost like 8 times out of 10 times betting and that sucks. Geez I guess GG is already out of the favourites huh, this is the first time since like the last 1.5 years that they dont make it to the playoff

I feel you. The current patch of Dota 2 really shuffled the power of Dota 2 pro teams right ? The ones who were dominating last year are struggle right now and those who had a decent 2023 are now powerful ( BetBoom is the best example ).

Last night , I was very mad on PA gameplay but not on Dyracho because he had no control over the dagger which went into tormentor and reflected it's dmg back and killed him...because that was the missing buyback when they basically lost the game cause of backdoor protection and a massive duel on PA who at that point had no business being near Ancient when protection kicked in ...but like I said , I consider that move a Valve for that Pa mistake.

MOBA started from there, warcraft and Blizzard too bad that they didn't reinvent the game and instead allowed Valve to make their '2' version for Dota. Anyway, we've got a lot of transfers that just happened this day, MJZ from South America will play for Blacklist International as their position 5. And yuragi, a former position 1 of OG signed to NaVi together with Sanctity of Mongolia whom is also a good player that's giving headache in the SEA. So, both of them will play for NaVi and I think it's a good thing for Sanctity to explore playing outside his country.

And we already have a place and venue where the next The International will happen this September, and it's going to be in Copenhagen, Denmark.
