Going on with the Dream League Season 23 in a few hours. XG don't have that much rest and they're going to be with the first match against Aurora Esports. So we're again back to the group stages for this tournament. Here is the schedule for today, both group A and B, too many games today.

XG's first series ended with them sweeping Aurora, then later got swept by Gaimin Gladiators.

Surprisingly, the Navi/SR series is the only one that ended on a draw out of the 12 series that was played out today. If there's a team to fade throughout the groups it's probably SR since they're not looking that hot with their captain and support skem.

Team Falcons is back with their dominant performance and likely to finish first in Group B if they continue to roll every team from start to finish. For Group A there's Gaimin Gladiators, and they might do the same if they don't drop a map against Team Liquid.

Looks like Dreamleague S23 is a 2-0 tournament so far with exception being Shopify Rebelion who likes to makes draws , because it seems they're current game against AR will end with 1-1.

I also watched all the GG games so far and I'm patiently waiting for them to lose a series 2-0 and next series against Liquid might be the one.

I'm also very impressed with Aurora games and I think they will secure play-offs with easy but also win next series 2-0 against Heroic.

The 2nd day has been finished and there are three teams that are now secured in the playoffs. Here they are;

For group A;

• Gaimin Gladiators

For group B;

• Team Falcons
• Tundra Esports

And these are the teams that are endanger to get eliminated while one of them is already eliminated. Going on with the first eliminated team.

• PSG.Quest

Teams below are the ones that are endanger of getting eliminated;

• Shopify Rebellion
• Team Liquid
• BetBoom Team

Teams below are the ones that are endanger of getting eliminated;

Looking at Group A, Xtreme Gaming should take the second upper seed by beating Heroic. They need a sweep to guarantee the spot while a draw puts them at a possible tiebreaker depending on how the Aurora/GG series will pan out.

Team Liquid still has a good chance to make it out since they'll face PSG.Quest. You also forgot to include Navi in that list, they have the same record as Shopify Rebellion, and it'll be a miracle if they survive against Team Falcons.

Also, Tundra's top two finish in the group now puts them in the top 5 of the EPT leaderboard overtaking OG and Team Spirit to secure the sixth invite for the Riyadh Masters.

Valorant is back!
Masters shanghai is starting tomorrow with 3 chinese teams playing!

FPX and DRG are underdogs in their matchups and i think there is some nice value on them, atleast on their own map picks

Looks like that they are not yet tired and exhausted from the past tournament that they've participated and yes, they're the 2nd guaranteed for the playoffs for their group.

Team Liquid still has a good chance to make it out since they'll face PSG.Quest. You also forgot to include Navi in that list, they have the same record as Shopify Rebellion, and it'll be a miracle if they survive against Team Falcons.

Team Liquid got in with a tiebreaker against Heroic. And what an upset that this match has shown to all of us, Heroic did upset Team Liquid. YES! Heroic won against Liquid on 2-1 series.

Also, Tundra's top two finish in the group now puts them in the top 5 of the EPT leaderboard overtaking OG and Team Spirit to secure the sixth invite for the Riyadh Masters.

Crazy prize pool are waiting for these invites. Tournaments after tournaments and they're all getting direct invite for the Riyadh Masters. Every players and teams are wanting to participate on it as if it's the same or better than The International.

The prize pool for the Riyadh Masters was recently announced through Twitter and it was around $5m, not as high as last year's tournament, but still, it's a lot of money for most teams.

And to give an update about the result of the group stages and also the upcoming playoffs that shall start tomorrow from the upper bracket, here you go:

I'm looking forward to the classic XG vs. Falcons rematch, and I can't imagine what the games would look like if Valve decides to drop a major patch before the playoffs.

The first place will still get $1,500,000.
The second place will get $800,000
Third price will be $600,000.
The amount for each placer is still good compare to the typical tournament that we've got for the first and second half of the year. Because the first place was always $300,000. So that's still 5x high.

That will happen today after the first match of GG and Tundra Esports. And as you've said about the patch, the innate and facet, I'm dumbfounded with them and haven't checked it. For sure that most teams have been checking which hero are going to be OP for this patch.


We have missed this.

CCT Global Finals in CounterStrike is about to begin before we head back to Dallas for another tournament:
https://www.hltv.org/events/7517/cct-global-finals-2024

Placed a bet on the Grand Finals just now so hopefully Eternal Fire can steal a map from the favorites Team Liquid in this one!

Plus something to note in the rankings of the pro in CS2:
MOUZ knocked out FaZe Clan to take their number 1 spot being the first time in the entire team's history:

Hope in Dota2 guys and play a game! The patch is incredible and makes the game so much more fun to play but also it's so funny to see pro players randomly picking heroes thinking they already solved the meta situation. I also hope this big patch and big changes will nerf Falcons to the point they will not be able to win games or at least to dominate games that makes their game super boring to watch. ( I also hope they will reduce the toxicity of Amamr and Marline to the point they will be humble once again ).

It totally makes the game fresh because there are tons of new stuff to figure out which is great.

Nah it seems they figure it out alongside GG. Well Im actually glad that there is another team that seems to figure this patch out as well so Im really hoping up on how entertaining the games will be

Meanwhile, two games on lower bracket tomorrow. Totally leaning towards BB and AR. I'll just go with straight winner and not mess this one up, I just hope my confidence wont knock my sock off this time

Haha, I am for Marline to see him humble himself with this new patch and get stomped by most teams. But you know for Ammar, he's just retaliating when he's ever trashtalked.

Unlike to Malrine, he's always the first one to cross the line. But anyway, if a team crushes them and maybe it will be GG on this tournament, it's two birds with one stone.

I think that Malrine knows how to tilt Quinn but this one, I am with Quinn.

After watching them play against XG earlier, it doesn't look like they'll be slowing down anytime soon since they still had a clean series or maybe that's just XG overcooking their drafts.

Based on the results, Eternal Fire managed to beat Team Liquid and they deserved it. I remember hearing from one of the CSGO co-streamers that Eternal Fire's IGL was close to switching to Valorant because he wasn't having much success with CS2.

I think that AR got this and if they win the series against Heroic, they're going to face their co-Chinese team, XG.

Meanwhile, I am watching the game of BetBoom and Aurora and it's already on the 2nd map. The first map was won by BetBoom and it's on the 18-minute mark there's still for sure a lot to happen despite that Aurora is in the lead.

The current kill score is 11-1 and that's in favor of Aurora Esports.

Recently, Dota 2 released a huge update 7.36 that changed the game incredibly much.
Many jokingly call it Dota 3, or say that it was possible to designate this update as 7.40: it is so large-scale.

Each such update greatly changes the balance, and I am sure that the bookmakers are reviewing the odds on the teams, because not every gaming team will be able to easily adapt to the changes that have occurred.

[boltz]

I can't stop having fun in this patch of Dota 2 and it seems I managed to make a few people happy with my post because not anyone knew about this big change that happened over night in Dota 2.

Also , this is just 2nd phase of CrownFall event with current one being Sands of Druud and we have 2 more phases before the event ends and I think the last one will be just before TI 2024 and if that will be correct , then we know for sure that is impossible to predict the winner. Like , who really knows that phase 3 will change of the game because it's clearly for now that a lot of heroes needs rework and some heroes needs big nerfs but also big buffs but until then , playing dota have never been so great.

Its insane, how they can just change the game this much, if this happened in any other MOBA everyone would lose their minds,
However its a regular thing in dota now, its gets more complicated just when u think u understand it

I understand most of the players if they're calling it Dota 3. It was the same when we've got new patch about the shrine and tormentor.

We all will adap it soon but this time, there are a lot of things to discover. This is for the sake of meta and those that are strong, we will see if they remain strong for this new patch and update.

What is funny on this patch is about magnus reverse reverse polarity, to which hero its ultimate will be comboed with? puck maybe?

Yeah, it's just a regular patch for Dota 2. Valve knows how to make things crazy when it's already crazy and there's always been the meme about that Dota 2 is still in beta version. LOL funny. So, as this relates to Valve and this patch has been making rounds on the web, I'll try to play a couple of heroes and will find out what's interesting on it because we have no option but this is going to be a permanent update for this patch unless there will be new release for some bug fix. Going back with Valve, have you seen this rumor[1]?

[1] Rumour: Microsoft is preparing an offer of $16B for Valve

I hope that Gaben won't allow this to happen, I know that Gaben and his gang needs to make money but Microsoft touching Valve and surely will the other games will be, this is going to be effin f for the entire Dota 2, CS2 and other communities that are handled by Valve.

We are just 50% of the Crownfall event so expect a lot more changes until the event ends and just yesterday Valve had 2 patches for Dota where they balanced some spells , they changed some spells damage from some heroes but also improved qualify of ranked games.

I'm also loving the fact that Falcons finally got nerfed because without a strength meta heroes , this team is kinda awful in all categories even if they have insane mechanical skills...that won't help them in current meta.

I think that AR got this and if they win the series against Heroic, they're going to face their co-Chinese team, XG.
-snip

Well they did but I was unhappy that Roobet actually nulified my one of my bets on my parlay. Im not sure if this is the case on all other bookies but what the heck was this



BB's bet was not marked as a win because AR 'forfeited' by default? thats insane, it should have been marked as a win. Not that it really going to change that much of my profit but its just silly

I'm also loving the fact that Falcons finally got nerfed because without a strength meta heroes

Well not really, GG was better with the patch and overal Falcons are still pretty good. They might even make it to the grand final through lower bracket
