Both OG and SR has been quite dominating so this is actually 50 50

Congrats on cashing OG's m1 kill handicap, they're so good at dismantling teams weaker than them, they also won the second map, but the kill score wasn't as one-sided as the first map.

We just saw Nigma Galaxy finally winning a series against a top tier 1 team and who would have thought Xtreme Gaming will be the one who will fall under Nigma ? Because I personally didn't gave any chance to Nigma to win this series , especially without Miracle and Kuroky playing but this should give a glimpse that Kuroky is indeed a problem for his team and maybe it's time for him to step out of Dota 2 pro scene ?

I also didn't expect the win coming from Nigma Galaxy, now it'll be an all-out fight for the upper bracket semis as the other teams won't be that easy to beat, and we could maybe have a three-way tiebreaker at the end.

Blast Premier Fall Groups 2024 is happening live!
We have Complexity vs Heroic who are up 3-0 at the moment but it looks to be another Heroic win.

The rest of the matches for today are as follows:
Vitality vs Gamerlegion
Astralis vs Falcon

We're so harsh on Nigma.Galaxy but we can't help ourselves to think that they're no longer going to win some games but they just did.

Yesterday, they won against Xtreme Gaming, and the one that they beat yesterday won against to the team that they just beat as well today for which Azure Ray.

NGX won against XG yesterday.
XG won against Azure Ray today.
NGX won against AR today.

Yeah and Im glad that I acutally picked the 1st map over the 2nd map

I was actually having contemplation when I picked that bet though, its not something that I would bet on normally but glad that it pay off. Anyway I bet on OG to win 2-0 today and posted it on the other thread but Nouns ended up having the best reverse sweep ever I guess lol. I would have never guess that they are able to win after losing horribly on the 1st map

I would have sticked with -8.5 kill for the 1st map on this game as well though but the odds was so  lame

NGX won against XG yesterday.
XG won against Azure Ray today.
NGX won against AR today.

Im very impressed with how Nigma play, they are so much better

Im very impressed with how Nigma play, they are so much better

Me too.

Tomorrow, they will be up against two teams. G2.IG and Talon Esports. If they're able to beat the strong teams that I have mentioned.

Then, these two are possibly to be beaten by them as well. And later on will be the third and final day for the group stages and, one day rest and we head off to the playoffs.

I will watch and bet on them tomorrow.

If they could beat G2.IG tomorrow then they have beaten like top 4 or top 3 current strongest chinese team and that is a massive feat that they have done. Most of us that love Nigma probably wont even remember the last time they actually manage to beat decent team in an offline tournament, they were basically laughing stock whenever they usually play

It's unusual to see them lose against Nouns, then suddenly turn it up a notch by beating Team Liquid.

If they could beat G2.IG tomorrow then they have beaten like top 4 or top 3 current strongest chinese team and that is a massive feat that they have done.

Their match against G2.IG will be the fight for the upper semifinal spot since Talon doesn't seem like a team that can suddenly pull a series win out of nowhere.

All I remember during their best days was when ATF and the DPC were still around, and then it was all downhill from there.  

[arallmuus]

I will watch and bet on them tomorrow.

I bet -1.5 for NGX and I lost so this is another redemption bet for me



If I win then its break even but currently G2.IG is leading with 5k gold

All I remember during their best days was when ATF and the DPC were still around, and then it was all downhill from there.  

Ikr and ever since they moved out from Team Liquid then created their own organization, they have never been the same anymore so yeah it actually looking pretty good atleast for me eventhough Miracle doesnt play in this tournament

[boltz]

Team Liquid looks awful without Blitz being there with them to help with draft and as far as I know they hired an extra draft analyzer to help them for this Peru Elite Season 2 but it works kinda bad for them until now so I won't expect Liquid to actually perform well.

On the other side , we have Nigma who is still having a great performance of Dota 2 and I won't be surprised if we actually see them playing the semi-finals or even the finals. Kuroky should also retire and simply let his team prosper without him.

Unfortunately, they've lost against G2.IG but it was a 2-1 score and the series ended not in favor of Nigma Galaxy. However, they've won against Talon Esports but the game also ended with a 2-1 score for the series.

And with that, they're placed above the bracket for the playoffs and it's actually a good start for them.

Team Spirit and G2.IG advances on the upper bracket semi finals.

[passwordnow]

Back to regular betting for Dota 2 tournaments, this first one is for the Clavision: Snow Ruyi.

I know that Nigma galaxy is doing great so far on this tournament but I'd go with the LGD gaming. And as for Talon against Virtus.Pro, I've been impressed of how Talon did during the TI qualifiers.




And for the Elite league Season 2. Execration has won my bets so I'd stay with them. I'd also chosen nouns as they're doing great as well. The rest, they're just my random choices.

Good luck everyone.

If those two underdogs ended up winning then you are a genius. I personally think Execration might have their chance to win considering that OG has qualified so they probably wouldnt really care wether they win or lose in this game.

On another side, Nouns have qualified while Team Liquid hasnt so yeah Team Liquid might even try harder against Nouns. This seems like another potential game that could scream over 2.5 maps though

[rdbase]

^^
Heard Team Liquid were beaten over the weekend in dota2 but from the sounds of it their losing streak is continuing on in the tournament.

As for Blast Premier Faze took the first map in their match against Cloud9 but from the looks of it they will be tied soon.
From yesterday's matches the usual suspects won with favorites taking their games.
Today's are kind of a flip of the coin with the following taking the stage in these group matches:
G2 vs NiP
Navi vs BiG
Virtus.Pro vs Team Liquid

Too bad that these two have lost. Execration lost 2-0 against OG but that's fine. Nouns was so close beating Team Liquid and I thought that they'd snatch that series because they're able to force it into 3rd map but still lost the game. Anyway, I am 2-2 on my bets.




As for my bet on Clavision, so far I've won the first match of LGD and Nigma Galaxy. LGD gaming won while my bet for Virtus.Pro and Talon Esports is currently in game.

[rdbase]

Bet on FaZe yesterday right after the half of map 2 @1.40x and won that bet against C9.
So with that win I am backing them to take this group tournament in Blast.
They were the favorites to win it all going into this tournament ss one of the announcers explained it.
And from this statistics sheet of their tournaments so far in the year, are not doing too bad either:


They are just about to kick-off the top of today's matches with G2 in the Blast Premier Fall session:
BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024: FaZe vs G2, Cloud9 vs NIP, NAVI vs Liquid, BIG vs Virtus.pro

As for my bet on Clavision, so far I've won the first match of LGD and Nigma Galaxy. LGD gaming won while my bet for Virtus.Pro and Talon Esports is currently in game.

Glad that I didnt bet on this. My toxic trait would bet on Nigma for real lol, I cant seems to not bet on them most of the time but yeah this time I decided that it over 2.5 maps seems to be the wiser choice regarding Nigma



Odds is decent, both over and under had the exact same odds. Nigma to win had odds around 1.5, pretty lame though

Nigma has been impressive on the first round which is the group stages but then, on the playoffs, they've fallen to the hands of LGD Gaming and now, they're sitting on the lower bracket waiting for Talon Esports as they've won against Virtus.Pro and this hits me another win with that bet.
Anyway, just for the update of the Clavision: Snow Ruyi on the playoffs below for visibility of everyone here:

LGD is just too good when it comes to important matches like these, we saw them pull through a bunch of tiebreakers and deciding matches during the Riyadh Masters recently.

We could see the same story in their lower bracket matchup, likely going all three maps, and could go either way with Talon's clean win against VP yesterday.

The two big favorites later today in the upper semis sounds like a good combo and even the map handicap for better odds.

[arallmuus]

LGD is just too good when it comes to important matches like these, we saw them pull through a bunch of tiebreakers and deciding matches during the Riyadh Masters recently.

Exactly which is why Im betting on them against Team Spirit



Team Spirit is pretty good when it comes to playoff but winning a single map shouldnt be that hard for LGD, they will have 2 chance to win one time and that is all I need from them

The odds for Team Spirit to win -1.5 is also around the same number as this so yeah playing in front of their own crowd, I dont see why LGD cant win once

This is not a patch for Spirit and you are right by picking LGD +1.5 as this patch is slowly transit towards China region where they prefer to farm between mid to late game and that is where they are winning the games.

Currently , we have Xtreme Gaming vs IG.G2 and it seems G2 will take first map against Xtreme and I will not be surprised if they will win by 2-0 this series because lately Xtreme had bad games and bad series from DreamLeague , Riyadh and now Snow Rui.

Later on , we have Elite League season 2 play-offs time and OG vs Spirit should be the best game to watch and honestly , I don't expect OG to even win a map.
