Why not wait until these rather large tournaments are over then decide to apply them?
They are affecting those team's strategic game-play they had been practicing prior to the patches.

Some would argue that this is the beauty of dota2 esport because teams have to adapt as soon as the patches are dropped but for me I guess the reason is because Valve is not really affiliated on those tournaments. In some sense, those are 3rd party tournaments though so Valve probably wouldnt even bother to drop it according to their schedule. I bet they most likely wouldnt do so in their own affiliated tournament like TI, DreamLeague and ESL




Im just dropping this here

This was the last notable Nigma's achievement which was two years ago. Ever since that day, everything just went south and I have never recalled that they ever get decent amount of prizes from tournament but they are currently top 3 in Clavision Snow Ruyi for atleast $62k even if they lose against Team Spirit tomorrow

This is quite a huge achievement for the last two years

So will Nigma with their progression be in time for The Internationals coming up in a months time?
It would be very sad if a team puts in so much effort into improving their game-play and not making it into a major tournament just because they hadn't made enough points during the season to make it in.

Heard some rumblings about League of Legends so is anyone placing bets on this esport lately?
Or it is all about DOTA2 now during this time of the summer?

Sadly, no TI for Nigma Galaxy, they already failed in the WEU regional qualifiers last June and only reached the second round of the lower bracket before getting eliminated.

Even if they're not in one of the biggest tournaments, we could still see them compete again in a minor tournament like the upcomingFissure Universe 3(Play-In), if they get invited.

I've placed a few bets recently, but my record is a disaster thanks to a few dominant teams that suddenly underperformed this Summer Split like T1 and JDG.

Just to have an update about this tournament and it has ended already. Team Liquid has won against 1win and they're proclaimed as the Elite League Season 2 champions! Congratulations to Team Liquid, it's just too bad that my bets have been always opposite with you guys but you did great!




Congratulations also to the top 4, I mean these 2nd-4th places we don't typically see them end this great or it's just because there's a split of good teams that the others were in China to compete for the Clavision? Still, great achievements!

I'd probably stick to dota 2 and some CS2 games I guess.

I'd say the latter together with a hint of luck, still, it's always good to see tier two teams secure a good portion of a big prize pool because most Dota tournaments always have a bunch of tier-one teams invited except for this season's Elite League as a few teams got their visas denied.

it's just too bad that my bets have been always opposite with you guys but you did great!

I also didn't have the greatest time betting on the Elite League since Team Liquid can't have a clean win in most of their series and kind of gave up halfway through the playoffs.

I agree, IMO, these kind of tournaments should also have some counterpart sponsored tournaments somewhere else. It's good to see that there's another one on going with a huge prize pool as well so that those teams that didn't qualify for the major one, will have to go to the other tournament that they've been invited.

I was disappointed on them when I've bet for few with them. Whilst for Execration despite that they have ended 4th place, they've given me more Ws.

No Dota 2 games for a while but 2024 is still full of tournaments and I will enlist some of them here.

FISSURE Universe: Episode 3 , Krasnoyarsk Mayor Cup 2024 , The International 2024 ,  PGL Wallachia Season 2 , DreamLeague Season 24.

So plenty of Dota 2 to see until 2024 ends

Actually, there are some tournaments but these are minor tournaments and tier 2 and 3 teams are participating. One is EPL World Series America Season 13 and LATAMAX Cup Royal for both North and South America. RES Series but currently in SEA region as of the moment and there's also the EURO PRO League. Well, can scout some of the good teams here but they're mostly boring matches IMO. Maybe the tournament is SEA is likely the one that I'd avoid although I know that competition there is tougher but due to these kinds of tournaments can be sold unnoticingly, I might just get onto some of them but not so serious as the past that we've got.

FISSURE Universe: Episode 3 , Krasnoyarsk Mayor Cup 2024 , The International 2024 ,  PGL Wallachia Season 2 , DreamLeague Season 24.

So plenty of Dota 2 to see until 2024 ends 

These are what are interesting to wait, top teams and some aspiring new teams that might qualify.

Anyone betting on IEM Cologne?



Trying to take advantage on early games where there isnt any clear favourites yet so the odds on -1.5 would be pretty decent like this. Seems pretty risky but the odds makes it worth it if it hits.

Well actually the odds for BIG to win is around 1.8 or something as well, so thats also decent if any of you wanna lower the risk

Yes I will be later on today and from the looks of it I just missed betting on the MongolZ & BiG as those two are leading their games. I am interested in the following matches:
FURIA Vs Liquid
3DMAX Vs Heroic
Complexity Vs Eternal Fire
ALTERNATE aTTaX Vs Falcons

They all look like tough matches to predict as you got the ones which seem to be easiest!

Awesome day for watching CS2 indeed. We just had Saw who managed to make a huge comeback and win the series 2-1 against BIG ( after BIG was leading 1-0 after 1st map ) and with this victory Saw are qualified for Groups of Cologne.

Furia vs Liquid  = Furia took 1st map and I'm smelling a comeback possibility here as well.

Complexity vs EF it's the game of the day for sure and I think EF will actually win this series.

Alternate vs Falcons ...oh , I can't trust Falcons at all but I do like what are they cooking because they are playing a completely different CS2 than the rest of the teams.

Dang, totally not the easiest. I had my hopes though after BIG won the 1st map, the 1st map score was 13-7 so thats pretty dominating 1st map imo but oh well I lost my bet. Should have gone for the classic over 2.5 maps to get some profit from this but yeah I was just trying to hit that big odds before the playoffs

Alternate vs Falcons ...oh , I can't trust Falcons at all but I do like what are they cooking because they are playing a completely different CS2 than the rest of the teams. 

Turned out Falcons won 2-0 against Alternate. Next one against BIG, I think Im going to bet on BIG to win and over 2.5maps on this one. Kinda wanna take a shot on -1.5 again but we'll see if I can get decent odds tomorrow

PGL Wallachia Season 2: Southeast Asia Open Qualifier #1 is about to start today. There are no matches that I can see so far but this is just the first round until the closed qualifier starts. And after this #1 open qualifier, there will be two winners that shall proceed to the closed qualifier and then the #2 or round 2 starts for this open qualifiers.

The total prize pool for this PGL Wallachia Season 2 is $1M and it is going to happen in Bucharest, Romania. Lucky are those teams that are already invited. Here's the list of them while we wait for each region's matches;



So the remaining slots will come from the closed qualifiers and it's only going to be 1 slot per region.

More tier two teams competing this time since I see that Gaimin Gladiators and Aurora aren't included in the invited teams while Nouns and PSG.Quest got in.

I'll ride with you on the over 2.5 maps, seems like it's the safest option when less than half of the play-in series ends on a clean sweep.

Yeah, no Gaimin Gladiators that are invited on this one but I think that they'd be able to take that slot from the WEU if ever they will join the qualifiers. However, they're going to participate the FISSURE Universe. The schedule is very hectic for most teams nowadays. One month from now, TI is about to happen and yet, every team that are part of it are full of tournaments participation left and right.

I guess that's fine, it can also be treated as part of their training and practices with some money on the side. The goal is still to dominate TI and see if there are some new metas ahead that will be made from these tournaments that they are doing like a side quest for each of them especially Team Spirit, they're going to participate all of these three tournaments that have been mentioned.

Pain gaming playing against Imperial Esports in about 20 minutes from now.
So I will be betting on this one and will probably take your two's advice on this BiG game going over 2.5 maps in a parlay play for this CS2 tournament.

edit: Was looking like Imperial was on their way winning the first map up 10-7 but pAIN are mounting a comeback just as with every CS2 match I have watched.
It is on ESL CounterStrike youtube and not on Blast Premier's channel for these matches. Just a note for those looking for these matches to watch live.

Our over 2.5 maps cashed on the BiG vs Team Falcons match, but, unfortunately, Imperial Esports ended your parlay as they got reverse swept by paiN gaming.

I doubt they'll play in the qualifiers, but you're right, if they suddenly change their mind, they should qualify easily when most of the good WEU teams are already invited except for OG then you have the other weaker teams like Mouz and Nigma Galaxy.

There is no doubt that we can agree that GG is still one of the best and strongest team in the world. And with these qualifiers, they'd stomp all of the potential tier 1-2 teams that will be along their ways. Anyway, going with the PGL Wallachia S2 on SEA open qualifiers, I'd bet for a game with a rumbled players and that's with skem and friends against Yangon Galacticos. YG is a contender team and uprising but I'd go with the rumbled players skem and gang. 4 hours from now, the match starts.

Put over 2.5 maps of the Falcon vs BiG match on both the betslips I had but took +1.5 maps for Imperial instead. Seen that one coming from a mile away.
So actually took in some profit from both.
The shocker was MongolZ winning their match yesterday.
Today should be alot better since yesterday were elimination matches.

ESL IEM COLOGNE groups are about to begin in 20+ minutes and I've been waiting for this event for quite a while because I do believe winning Cologne as a CS2 player is the biggest achievement one can get.

I've also watched the entire qualification rounds and I must say Mongolz are looking great , same goes for SAW who are having the best time of the year so far and I won't be surprised if we see them winning here and there. Also , I can't forget about Complexity who is finally shinning and Elige is in a monster form who that can take this team deep in this major. Same goes for Falcons who are slowly but surely achieving a god-style of Cs2 because no other team is currently playing what Falcons are trying to play but it's a double edge strategy for them as they can lose against anyone but they can also beat anyone.

SAW made the upset happen and i'm impressed they did it in only two maps against G2 who have one of the best forms recently. The MongolZ avoided elimination thanks to Eternal Fire's sloppiness yesterday, it'd be a miracle to see them beat Team Spirit who's more experienced.

Good shit, I almost thought you took the match-winner.

Quick 2-0 for skem and friends. The other match got interesting as I saw some all chat banter being clipped and posted.
