We almost got the spicy rematch between ATF and Sonneiko, but Nouns probably had enough of the drama and reverse swept Avulus sending them to the lower bracket.  
~

This drama woke me up in a different platform and we know the behavior of ATF in the pub he's one of the player keep annoying and tilts others by doing trash-talk and Sonneiko makes this personal because upon on the tournament he walks to ATF just to trying to take him down base on the twitter post and the fun part here is also Quinn makes a comment on it and they RTZ makes a reply because we know Quinn came from sea and easily tilt on his game play. Currently, they are now good but of course, dota is never been more fun if people gives more spieces on the game.

I got really sad with Eternal Fire's being eliminated by The MongolZ in lower semi finals too.    They even beat us on the maps that we were normally the best. Maybe it was due to complacency, I don't know...

Anyway today there are 2 matches as you can see in the image above. Vitality @1.40 and NaVi @1.22 for the win. However I would rather take a risk on one of them. Probably it would be MOUZ @2.70. 

It was unfortunate that Eternal Fire underperformed that day similar to how they took out G2 the other day. I agree that Vitality could easily lose to Mouz after their shaky performance against Heroic in the upper bracket final.

Watching some of the Worlds Swiss stage day 7 with G2 vs T1 round 4 on their LoL Esports channel right now.
Looks like G2 is getting curb stomped by T1 as game 1 just ended.

G2 tried putting up a fight in game two as they had the better draft, but T1's execution was just better, and they couldn't close it out after losing out on the minor objectives.

Game 2 has ended for beastcoast and Tundra, it was an intense match. The leading team was beastcoast and they are just about to end the game  but they just can't. 33 was freaking genius. Those familiars of his really delayed the game and he literally lifted the game. I can't explain further words on how the map 2 ended, I advise you to watch the replay of it and it was Tundra that won so it's now 1-1. One more game and my bet will be concluded if bc wins.

Good luck for you if Beastcoast decides to step it up and finally beat Tundra.
So are they just finishing up in this tournament for their semi-finals so to have a grand finals soon?

IEM Rio is getting more excited in time. We are in the single elimination stage...



Vitality and NaVi both surprised me by not qualifying for the semi finals directly. HEROIC and FURIA beat them previously. But the more interesting part was to see FaZe saying goodbye much earlier. They are really away from their good days seemingly.

Watched abit of these matches on and off because of end of the work week is always hectic for myself.
Was seeing Vitality storming back but unfortunately MOUZ got the best of them in the end.
So not taking that risk would of cost you a pretty penny at those odds.

There we have it!
Mouz vs Furia and Navi vs Heroic down in Rio for the IEM semi-finals,

[boltz]

I really enjoy PGL Wallachia Season 2 so far but I really want to see Heroic winning map 2 against Falcons and push the series for 3 maps and maybe with a bit of luck Heroic can take the entire series. Also massive prompts for Navi with Puppey and BZM as they are my favorites to win the entire thing and that is the case we might look at the new Navi or Team Secret but this depends of what Puppey wants to do with Secret as so far he is still looking for members as he said it in a recent interview.

Yes, I really don't get how we can be this inconsistent.    We really destroyed G2 on both maps. People expected this to be a big boost but unfortunately it was the opposite.

I turned out to be right about taking that risk with MOUZ.    Because Vitality looked really unstable recently. I can't say MOUZ beat them in an embarrassing way but they deserved it undoubtedly.

As for my picks today... NaVi @1.32 and FURIA @2.10. I think FURIA have been playing really impressive. They already beat MOUZ once in Group A. Why wouldn't we see another time?

Yesterday, they were on the upper bracket finals but Heroic lost against Team Falcons. And still Heroic was able to make it against Tundra in the lower bracket and they've won. So, we're now on map 2 in the grand finals with Heroic and Team Falcons again. The first map was won by Team Falcons so as my bet and I think that I'll take a gamble with the 5.00 odds of Heroic for the 2nd map. So wish me luck.

My beastcoast bet with Tundra lost, and that match was in the lower bracket so it's like a do or die match for both. Anyway, the tournament has been concluded and Heroic was the champ for PGL Wallachia Season 2 won, it's another SA team from which beastcoast is where from.

@emrecemsan
Mouz does it again for you!

IEM Rio 2024 Grand Finals is set to begin right now in this best of 5 with Navi vs MOUZ!

I had Furia to win atleast a map but they got their asses handed to them in their own home country of Brazil by the underdogs this whole tournament MOUZ.

If they can win this against Navi then that would solidify them as pure contenders in CS going forward.

I dont know what kind of sorcery did you use to even predict this but Heroic ended up winning. What the heck just happened lol. Im glad that I didnt make any live bet because my brain was totally telling me to go for 3-0 on Falcons after they won the 1st map

After the game ended, the camera was shifted to Falcons player's face and all 5 of them was dumb strucked LOL. I cant recall the last time SA team win anything since last year but they finally win something. This is going to be an exciting year for dota2 pro scene for sure

[boltz]

Insane comeback from Navi against Heroic at RIO with a BO5 grand final but I really cannot understand how Navi managed to pull such a comeback from being down 10-1 in 3rd map to win 13-11...and the curious thing about this is comebacks have become something normal for Navi no matter the score. I'm also happy for my romanian player of navi IM who once again proved to be such a skilled player and won that 1 vs 1 clutch that won the map.

Hahaha, I didn't used any sorcery but just an actual thought of gambling with that odds. Whenever the odds seems high, that's attractive to me and I just place my bet on it.  
To be honest, that's also my initial thought that it's going to be a Team Falcons game and likely to be 3-1 or 3-0. But then after the 2nd map, that's when I think that it's possible for Heroic to win the series.

I think this is the first time that an SA team won a major, CMIIW. And I like on how they're able to beat Team Falcons. With all of the trashtalks that malrine and ATF have done in the past, it all reflected back to them.  

So aside from disappointing turn against Heroic, that's another factor for them to realize.

Watched abit of the first map so they looked on point.
Then tuned into the half of that last map and the announcer said they were down 10-2 but they were really down 10-1?
That makes it an even more unbelievable comeback!
Alexsib got his first IEM championship win after the previous six attempts.
So good for him as he is one of those veteran players who came into the league with the likes of S1imple and karrigan.

I'm also lucky that I only wasted a free bet on Team Falcons during the grand final and the Worlds got me occupied when their match started so I skipped most of it and only got to catch them during the post match.

This is going to be an exciting year for dota2 pro scene for sure

I agree it's been a while since we got an SA team to win it all. I'd also like to say this season of PGL Wallachia was still entertaining even though several top teams rejected the invite.

I totally understand why most teams rejected this because probably some of them are still trying to scout new members for their teams while some dont really need to replace anyone hence there is no reason to join a tournament anymore only after weeks since TI concluded

Anyway the main highlight for this tournament except from Heroic would be Tundra and Falcons though. Tundra despite having 2 stand-in played incredibly well and Im excited what they have in store with their original roster. As for Falcons, its actually great to know that they are no longer dominating the pro scene like they used to a year ago. It would be boring to watch them keep winning most of the tournament again this year

[passwordnow]

They still performed well but it seems that the SA teams know how to beat Team Falcons already. Like Heroic, beastcoast was able to win against them although it's just one game on the playoffs.

It would be boring to watch them keep winning most of the tournament again this year

Just like Gaimin Gladiators last year. They were dominating the tournaments and LANs whole year round but then they fell short on TI. It's like the pattern that we're seeing mostly with these teams. They're all strong but some teams are really going to reign against them and even with their primes, they still have some lackluster games.

Talking about Gaimin Gladiators where are they now? Haven't seen them on any of the tables for the tournaments.
It is like they had suddenly vanished off the face of the earth.
Have they disbanded like so many other teams in dota2 had been doing lately?
It seems to be an ongoing trend in the scene whether it be for lack of talent or due to financial reasons.

They lost in the Grand Final so probably needed more time to cool things off. They will be back playing in BB Dacha tournament on 19th October. 4 of them decided to kick their pos 1 so they are going to play with new pos 1. Im actually excited because Watson their new pos 1 has quite alot of potential to be one of the best pos 1 if he has good teammates

I dont think they will ever disband after winning that much, approx $6.1M just from dota2

They are still there but they've replaced their one player, the position 1 player - dyrachyo. The new position 1 they have is watson, a former player of C9/Entity. I don't think that they have a budget constraint as they've got a bootcamp that's really nice. There is even an issue about dyrachyo's gf that has exposed his teammates to be not nice. I'll get on that soon. And we will see them play this upcoming tournament of BB Dacha Belgrade 2024 and it is going to be a LAN tournament. Prize pool money is $1M. Here are the first day matches on October 19.

Thank you for the information @passwordnow and the previous posts on the GG situation from dota professional competition.

Just began watching Day 1 of The Worlds WBG vs LNG knock-out stages quarterfinals.
So it is running until November and is split between venues being in Berlin, Paris and London.

Wouldn't have known as I am not a huge League of Legends fan but just realized this after tuning into the livefeed of the match early enough for once to see this flash up on the screen right before the match started.

Kinda weird imo, should have stick in one city like the other esports but I guess they want to facilitate all their fans worldwide huh

As always, supporting T1 although I got no damn clue about the game anymore. I used to watch them abit last year but Im clueless this year. All I know is the winner is going to be either T1 or Gen. G so that means whoever wins in the semifinals should be the winner



I would love if both those teams meet on Grandfinals but oh well. I might make an outright bet for T1 to win again this year
