So @boltz was correct.
It does look as if this might be m0nesy last tournament before swapping teams according to hltv.org

https://www.hltv.org/news/41408/pgl-bucharest-playoff-bracket-set-tc

Yea , unfortunately he chose Falcons and their infinite money but I have a feeling M0nesy will be able to resurrect this team in CS2 and put them in top 4 world wide by the end of the year. However , if this won't happen , I'm afraid Zontix will be out from coaching and Taz might switch teams as well to be once again with Niko and M0nesy.

Are you watching Dota right now ? Because I'm surprised to see so many fans in the arena besides the fact that NA has no team and only 2 players present in playoffs.

IMO it's the better move for m0nesy because G2 is slowly sinking out of the top rankings with this current roster and Team Falcons needed a clutch awper.

It'd be interesting if we coincidentally get a Falcons vs G2 matchup in the grand finals.

Maybe the tickets for the whole event were affordable and it's been a while since we had a Dota tournament in NA.

Wait, this tournament for DOTA 2 is in North America?
They are usually in Europe or Asia most of the time with my limited knowledge in this genre of Esports.
Where is this one taking place? And yeah if the tickets are cheap which I assume they were, more people will be attending.

As for m0nesy, if they have him on their roster then Falcons might as well activate s1mple to have that Super Team in CS2 that they were striving for from the very start.

[passwordnow]

Well , today the playoffs begin in Dota 2 and what a game we have at start!

Remco alias Crystallis will play against his ex team who kicked him to get Satanic and this is a revenge story but I do believe PariVision is way better than current line-up of Tundra and a 2-0 for Pari might happening.

I have bet for this game and I thought that Tundra would lose the series. They lost the first map but ending up 2-1 and winning the series. They've sent Parivision to the lower bracket.

Then we have Spirit vs Falcons ...can't really figure it out what is going to happen here because Falcons out of nowhere they are back in shape and Spirit is well known for "trowing" after group stages

Falcons lost and right now, it's on the third map at the upper bracket with Tundra and Team Spirit.

@passwordnow @boltz
This tournament seems like a good one to have. I like the teams they have featured above and seen Tundra play abit.
These storylines for the teams seem to be more interested than the gameplay itself.

We're all fans of Tundra I guess and they're doing good but let's see how the third map will end against Team Spirit because if they win, they'll be waiting in the finals.

Yup, the tournament is currently held in Raleigh, North Carolina. The crowd presence was refreshing after watching several Dota tournaments that are held online and within the studio. 

As for m0nesy, if they have him on their roster then Falcons might as well activate s1mple to have that Super Team in CS2 that they were striving for from the very start.

There's no way s1mple goes back to Falcons, and even if he changes his mind, he still needs to grind like crazy to recover his form.

Falcons lost and right now, it's on the third map at the upper bracket with Tundra and Team Spirit.

That series almost made me think Tundra could send Team Spirit to the lower bracket, but Team Spirit was quick to answer in game two and kept things going until game three.

Well we have a finals in Bucharest with Team Falcons against G2 so we will see if m0nesy gets MVP for this one like he did in their last match getting here to face his future team.
Currently Faze are facing off against Complexity for 3rd place. Think they just took the first map.

And yes, if more tourneys in dota come to places like Raleigh then it might hype up the esport more towards the USA like it has in Europe and Asia markets.

That was I were thinking about Tundra but then they're out of the tournament and Tundra ended 3rd going home with $100,000 and then with 4,000 EPT points.

And yes, if more tourneys in dota come to places like Raleigh then it might hype up the esport more towards the USA like it has in Europe and Asia markets.

It's hyped up and we'd see more of these tournaments for dota 2 and I think that the Esports World Cup is going to bring more hype. It has allotted $3M for Dota 2. And to give others an idea, right now is the grand finals for the ESL Raleigh and yes happening now while I am typing this.

[boltz]

PariVision vs Spirit in Bo5 Finals at ESL One Raleigh 2025 and first map just went to PariVision.

Now , this game has a lot of history behind scenes because initially Satanic ( Pari Carry ) was on Spirit but Yatoro got greedy ( and I think he didn't get an invite from Liquid to join them ) he decided to comeback to Spirit and that made them to actually sell ( a soft kick basically ) Satanic to PariVision and look what he is doing to them now hahaha by literally killing everyone in first map.

It would also be one of the ages if somehow Pari ( massive underdogs here for odds but big favorites by current playstyle of Dota ) goes 3-0 to Spirit and cement Satanic as the youngest best carry ever who might even win TI this year.

That was a crazy first map we've seen there. I think 22 minutes of time, that morph of kid was almost full pack with a butterfly and one to two slot remaining and it's just a mid game. Pari did really knocked them off for the first game. And about that decision of Team Spirit(Yellow Submarine) selling that kid to Parivision is just a business thing. They've groomed and taught him a lot and exposed to tournaments and he's really beating the 2 time TI champs. But we'll see on the 2nd map if something changes. Even Collapse did a chat on the first map "someone please beat satanic".

Team Falcons do a 3-0 to G2 today in Bucharest now the headlines are basically calling out m0nesy to see what he is missing while being on the losing team.

https://www.hltv.org/news/41438/falcons-defeat-m0nesys-g2-to-win-pgl-bucharest-tc

Yeah he is definitely signing up with them now!

Congratulations to Team Falcons for being the PGL Bucharest champion for this year. Usually, I bet for G2 Esports and if I've done that, I am in double kill for losing both bets in CS2 and Dota 2. That is because the ESL One Raleigh is done as well and the proclaimed champs are the Parivision. And this is the first championship of Satanc, he is very happy with the win. Congratulations to these boys despite I've always bet against them, they deserve it even it cost me losing me money.

I'd be in the same situation if I recalled the starting times of the PGL grand finals, but luckily I was stuck with something else and thought it'll kick off a bit later. 

I also got burned multiple times by Parivision thinking they're not that far off from elimination by dropping every first map in the lower bracket.

I guess ESL One tournaments are their thing now after doing the same in ESL's previous tournament in Bangkok.

Yeah, they've made it and still a nice run as most of the games in the lower bracket were crazy and I guess they're more of a grand finals than the actual grand finals, 4-1 for Parivision and those games seems to be easy for them. We still have a few tournament for this remainder of the month but for May, we'll see more of these good tournaments where these good teams are also going to participate.

Another history revealed. I am not sure what Miposhka and satanic talked about when they have approached each other.

There is a headline that Miposhka said before that if ever they meet in the grand finals, satanic should honor and remember what they have talked about.

Do you guys have any idea what kind of deal and talk they've made about that thing? I am just a curious guy wanting to know if someone knows a thing or has an insider.

Dota 2's esports scene is always full of surprises, and Team Liquid has been interesting to follow lately. Their performance at PGL Wallachia S3 has been solid, and while I know some people have mixed feelings about Boxi, the team is holding firm. I think roster changes are always tricky, but sticking together might be the best move unless there's a significant issue.

If you're into Dota 2 and want to cash out on some skins, there's a good way to do it. You can sell your items from Dota here, and the process is fast and secure.

[rohang]

Well monesy to falcons is confirmed but now everyone is curious who takes degster after his weekend performance to win PGL 

Also Blast austin major qualifers started yesterday for most regions and already some big upsets as parivision are out and Gamerlegion is in trouble at 0-2

They've won the PGL Wallachia S3 not long ago and now we're heading to the S4 of it. PGL has so much money to organize this tournament and a prize pool of $1M and they keep on organizing it each month. Everybody likes Team Liquid, they don't look good at all during the playoffs and they were even about to disband if no better results for them. But, they just have a good result now and they've got enough points to have a direct invite for the upcoming The International 2025. So, there will be no more disband for them.

Nice plugging hehe. I thought that this is no longer allowed before, I used to bet my dota 2 items and not sell them on dota2lounge, I don't know if that platform still exists.

Remember there were CSkins for CounterStrike but didn't know they had the same for DOTA2 where you can sell equipment and weapons.
Yeah, I would of thought these sites expired a long time ago the same as CS slowly had with those CS Slot sites for a place to gamble with your skins.

On to some CS2 news, G2 Esports got Hades on loan possibly to fill in the spot that m0nesy had left:

It's an expected downgrade for G2, but it's unfortunate for the other members because they probably didn't expect to lose some of their best teammates within several months, and it'll be an uphill battle to maintain their rankings in the VRS.

Yeah, I was also aware of that. I've got some skins in CS2 but they're not that much compared to what I have in dota 2. I was very active maybe a decade or more ago when these sites are on their peak not until they've lied low and I have forgotten the reason for that. Maybe Valve was the one to step in and said stop all of these, I can't remember.
