Blast Premier finals are happening right now!
The European finals currently going on with Astralis taking a 1-0 lead over Ence. These are BO3 so anything can happen there.
With the North American finals coming up right after with Furia being the favorites to win over Pain gaming, it should be an interesting one.
Still time to put in a bet here on this match:

Iam amazed Pain won vs mibr after some terrible losses before that but never count the Brazilians out, thing was both teams were from Brazil lol.  
  Cloud9 just took on the ex Gambit squad which is probably a good bargain for them, cant blame them.   ENCE vs Astralis went to 3 maps, just closing now sadly ENCE a little too strong but think I did bet 3 maps so all good  [first map ENCE lose 16-3 but come back on Nuke classic upset map but also not a weak map for Astralis; I should have closed my Astralis bet during that first map probably]

Amazing set of each finals in this seasons Blast series!
Both favorites lost with Ence & Pain gaming both beating them in their matches.
The Brazilians only took two maps to do it against a strong Furia side.
But that is cs go for you, expect the unexpected when it comes to how teams come out when it is time play.

Cloud9 are infact back and was surprised with this news.

Still one week away until we have some interesting events like the Stockholm major, MSI, and Antwerp Major.

Anyway, there's still a bit of CIS Dota action left as three teams will fight for the third qualification spot for the Stockholm major as the other two spots were taken by BetBoom and Team Spirit.

I'm going for over 2.5 @2.00 between Navi and CIS Rejects, these two already fought and it ended 2-1 so I thought it'll go the same way again, I just hope Navi steps up their drafting since they're completely outdrafted twice during their series against Team Spirit.

I have the same bet and NaVi just did their part of the job, now we just need that one bad draft That way we can win out stressing.

I have that on a ticket with Brame over 2.5 and united both to score so I still have a bit to go.

Cloud9 are infact back and was surprised with this news.

In theory Cloud9 can take another major win with this team.   Gambit were #1 in the world not long ago, being the org attached or host that team taking that win and buying them at a presumably good price just before the major (gambit is russian gov linked org so cant receive paid games etc.).  I dont think they could find anything better, its not a US team and some really wont like that but its too good a team to think twice for them I reckon.


I saw Copenhagen Flames rated favorites vs Entropiq  but that doesnt make sense when they previously lost to this team.  I took the odds even if its not the most likely outcome sometimes the odds are worth taking with a lower bet.  I often do that, value bets I think that is not just looking purely to guess the win but when one team is rated far too highly vs probability and on average I should gain.   Maybe I just like the underdog win more , anyhow Copenhagen Flames just lost their first map and I also bet 3 maps so Im good overall.

Esports Club Kyiv took a map off Copenhagen , in the middle of a war good performance vs a team 50 ranks ahead is pretty great; 2 rounds away from the series win

Our over hit thanks to Navi's poor drafting but unfortunate to see the other leg of your parlay didn't end up hitting.

Going for another over 2.5 pick but this time it's on the CSGO qualifiers between MOUZ vs BIG. Even though MOUZ is struggling to maintain consistency I still expect these guys to grab a map against BIG which is on a decent streak lately.

Mouz sports looked good against movistars team who were on a winning streak the past tournaments I had been watching them play. But they still 2-0 them.
I like the over 2.5 map picks against Big.
Best of luck on the bet as both Pinnacle and Intel Extreme Masters are the big tournaments going on right now.

Does anyone make a bet with the match of Team spirit vs Navi the both legendary TI Winners in different era base on my observation the TS manage to make an abuse with the new meta which is the Kotl and the Storm spirit even though its looks like old enough but still its working with the sustain mana for storm and the first game they pick with the TA safelane many higher rank doing this kind of draft which let them take the Game 1 and also with the game two Navi didn't want to do this again that's why they get the TA now and still the kotl storm with the TS but the twist we know the Tiny is one of the biggest meta update right now and by that they can manage to win because of the tankyness of the Tiny. Yotaro, Torontokyo and Mira carry the game with this series.

The MSI tournament excitement in League of Legends is starting officially next week. In my opinion, the favourite team of this tournament by far are T1 that were the champions of the Korean league without a loss. Besides, I don't see the chance of IWC (which are a team of my region) about finishing their group as the second and being right behind RNG as very low.

I dont consider Navi to be that able to level up with the current roster of TS but they did still give a good fight i would say.There are soo much changes in terms of abilities and updates
which i could say that indeed affect gameplay.I do always get amazed on how TS do really execute good combos and team fights.
Not surprising to be the recent TI winner which Yatoro does have a big hero pool for carry pos which is always amazing.

I remember betting on the over 2.5 for that series but unfortunately, the draft pretty much decided the outcome of both games and Team Spirit was just one step ahead when it comes to picking the better heroes.

Going for another over 2.5 pick

This one ended up hitting nicely and the series went 2-1 in favor of BIG. 

I got another over 2.5 for today and this one is between Entropiq vs BIG, their last meeting went 2-1, and hoping for the same outcome as their map pool is somewhat similar to one another.

@CLS63 Didn't know you were into eSports before making this post.
A big welcome to the thread for you and hope to see you more often with any questions or insight you can bring to the discussion here.
From the limited knowledge in league play that I have the only teams that you mentioned to stick out are RNG and of course the Korean side.
They have eSports boot camps for their athletes in the chosen genre and are highly motivated to succeed in whatever they strive to achieve.
Quite a bit of focus from the docuseries about this team.

Another fine pick for the over as it hit for you.
Congratulations again ralle14.
They played twice in two different tournaments at the same time so that is impressive to say the least.

There is a news that has been shared on social media that Sumail will be out of Team Secret and he's going to be replaced by "Crystallis". The article was posted by sports.ru.
The language is in Russian but you can use translate feature of the browser. I've just seen it from another Dota 2 page that said it's going to happen but no official statement yet from him and Team Secret.

There has been alot of shuffling around by teams which originate from Russia in the past two months.
Whether their players are allowed to compete in certain tournaments that I wouldn't know.
But with Cloud9's takeover of Gambit eSports (known as Players during recent events) has explained alot of what is transpiring for eSports in that region.

First of all, thank you so much. I have been interested in League of Legends for many years. I wasn't making bets very often before. But when I saw the new betting interface of sportsbet.io, I thought that I needed to focus on here also. As only the regional champions are able to join the MSI tournament, RNG and T1 are one step forward as the biggest favourites. Due to their overwhelming performance in Korea, the favourite team are T1 for me and many lol followers.

They have updated the betting interface for eSports a little while ago and is more polished now.
Actually placed two bets last week when I had to check it and the bets graded almost instantly. Very nice to have it available and now we have two ways to place bets on the electronic sports we love.
From what I remember T1 are from South Korea and RNG are from China.
So there is some serious competitiveness there. From what I witnessed in those series.
They breathe, eat and sleep their designed sport they train for before going professional.

I dont consider Navi to be that able to level up with the current roster of TS but they did still give a good fight i would say.There are soo much changes in terms of abilities and updates
which i could say that indeed affect gameplay.I do always get amazed on how TS do really execute good combos and team fights.
Not surprising to be the recent TI winner which Yatoro does have a big hero pool for carry pos which is always amazing.

I'm a fan of yatoro, that guy is really flexible and can use any hero and has proved himself. Well, just a recap, TS swept NaVi with 2 game series.

But there's now another interesting team that just proved themselves as well, the champ for the DPC EEU T2 and that's team BetBoom. I'm only familiar with Daxak and Sonneiko on this team who's a former NaVi player.

Looking at the bracket and their journey, they're admirable and amazing!

There are really darkhorses on whatever competition or tourneys where people be always rooting for top tier or known teams but later on they are been fucked up with non so popular teams which do really make

betting even more hard or cant really be predicted and i agree into your sentiments towards Betboom which is indeed noticeable i would say.Sonneiko is the only on im familiar with.
I do really anticipate lots of new players on each team roster do make out some set in specially on new generations.

Yes, they have to take on another team to represent another team name that's not associated with Russia. It's because the esports community and management have shown sympathy for the current war that's happening.
Team name's have been changed and there are active transfers due to the conflict. I guess we're going to see more of it and then new teams will be formed.
