we could potentially have a T1-BLG/DK in the semis and in the other side it could be Gen.G-IG unless TES goes demonic again.

You think T1 gonna have a chance on the semis? Speaking of T1, I made a vow that I will put my next free bet on the outrights on T1 and so I did



It was the free bet from Bundesliga pool and the odds had dropped. It was around 4.6x a week ago but still I think its a pretty good odds for T1 because they somehow play better on Worlds especially if they can make it to the final

I thought that Legion will get them on that but the third map was no mercy for OG. As for the next match, I've already made a bet with GamerLegion against NaVi. I guess it's worth to put some risk with GL.

Nice try, but NaVi made that series look easy against GL. I expected a full three map series, but NaVi were just the better team and even made the Viper carry work against them.

They also beat Yellow Submarine earlier in the upper-bracket final and will have to wait for a few more days since the lower bracket barely progressed.

Without dropping a map until the final, this might be a walk in the park for them to win the whole thing unless Yellow Submarine or whoever improves from one series to another.

Whoever they meet in the semis is beatable, and i'm also betting on them regardless of who wins the BLG match.

They already have the easier path to the finals, and we'll see if they still have that clutch factor.

Yes, it was an easy sweep by NaVi. They're now waiting in the grand finals, securing the top 1-2 spot with $50k and $25k cash prize respectively. While for gamer legion, they've beaten OG and then huligani, that's a tough series for them that they have to play two series and survive it. Tomorrow, they'll be playing against Yellow Submarine in the semi finals and this is the battle for the grand finals, whoever wins the series goes straight there. We might see a rematch of GL and Navi in the grand finals then, but we'll see because Yellow Submarine shown that they're not an easy team to beat.

Pretty sure its gonna be BLG otherwise its going to be a smooth ride for T1 until final. The problem would be on the final, so far T1 hasnt win anything ever since 2026 season so there could be a good chance that they will flop on the final game

I wanna highlights this actually



Dude play for 13 years, won 6 Worlds and countless tier 1 tournaments and yet his winnings are only around $2.2M. Yeah I know he might rack up alot from sponsorship but this is lowkey low for 13 years of playing. If he is this low, imagine the other players that hasnt been that lucky on this game

Imo there is very good chance DK win today, they have been looking superb at team fights and somehow winning team fights down thousands of gold after early game

LPL did not have a good start at worlds but BLG have made it here atleast, knight has been ridiculous this year and his kill lines are amongst the highest of any player right now. BLG do seem like the favorites but i am surprised by DK being only 2.2 ish odds. seems like a trap like to get people to bet BLG.

Well that was a stomp, even bigger one arguably then Geng vs Lyon

Map 1 DK did look decent and had a lead in early game, but after one point BLG just won every single fight.
Map 2,3 were no contests.

Highly disappointing from DK team, they looked very promising. Atleast its some good learning experience for the young guys. People were harsh on smash for his positioning yesterday 

Now its KC vs T1 today and i feel the same thing  KC should take atleast take one map and make T1 sweat little bit on others as well. Lets see

That's because their tournament prize pools weren't that chunky until the past few years, but when you look up his salary per season, he's getting that bag.

It also took them forever to secure a drake while BLG locked every single one in the first two maps. The drafts were barely favorable for DK and BLG knew when to force the issue before they get outscaled in the late game.

This last quarterfinal match should be closer, given this is the same matchup back in EWC.

I totally forgot about the dragon count  I think they got one dragon in 3 maps which is pretty bad lol. Even lyon wouldve done better atleast on that front. People at DK must be super disappointed with this performance

yea T1 KC should be way closer, maybe even an upset. But its T1 and they somehow do some magic every year at worlds. I think i read a article recently that its because faker gets to actually practice during worlds while in regular season he is busy with other commitments like sponsorships,fan engagements etc lol  He also shotcalls for them at worlds IIRC

I thought the third map looked winnable with their draft, but with mid and bot struggling early game, it's already cooked. Others said they need to be hungry again just like back at EWC when the bad news came out about them not getting paid. 

True, last year's script for T1 is almost the same. Shaky results for almost the whole season and then they turn it up in the playoffs to prove all the doubters wrong. Whenever they're against the odds, they'll always derust just in time to run it back.

DreamLeague 2 Division 5 is on its day 2 of the group stages. It's hard to bet on these games but the format is just fine with a best of 3 games. I'd go with the game that's about to happen now which is Power Rangers versus Play time. PT is the favorite on this match but I'd go with the at least one map prop for the Power Rangers, let's go! Go go Power Rangers.

The IEM Beijing wrapped up the finals with Mouz stomping MongolZ. Even though they got spanked that badly, i'm impressed to see the MongolZ bounce back because things looked dire for them a few months ago.

That second map should've been a win for Power Rangers, but that one throw in the mid game shifted the tide and eventually sealed the 2-0 for Playtime.

This event might get interesting because I don't see a clear favorite, unlike in previous seasons, there's usually a few teams that are a cut above the rest like Aurora or Nigma Galaxy.

Yeah he obviously getting alot for his salary. He is like Miracle of this game, oh how I wish Miracle is still playing

As for the tournament prize pools, well even if their prizepools on the other tournaments are kinda on the lower side but Worlds actually have a decent prizepool. Its $5M for this year and last year, its actually chunkier than TI

Anyway game starting in less than an hour, are you gonna bet on handicap again? -1.5 handicap currently prized at abit over 3x

I think i read a article recently that its because faker gets to actually practice during worlds while in regular season he is busy with other commitments like sponsorships,fan engagements etc

This actually makes perfect sense on why T1 seems to be performing better on Worlds

Too close for that but then, Play time didn't want to give one map on them. And all of the games for this day except one from Synapse and Nemiga are 2-0 games.

I agree, even the known Yakults Brothers are struggling to get a win for their series. They're on the bottom of their group as of now although there are three days left for this group stage to end.

I only grabbed their moneyline for the series. I don't have the guts to go further and i'm glad I didn't after that underwhelming performance. Faker tried his best in that last game, but it's unplayable with their top and jungle playing one step behind.

As for the prize pool, I had no idea it's now higher than TI, but it's interesting that the winner only walks away with 20% of that pot, makes me think they really want to level out the playing field.

There goes my outright bets on T1. I knew I should have hedge on Gen.G as the 2nd option but I didnt

T1 won 3 times in a row and I talked about betting on their outrights every single year yet I probably only did it once. You know what, I watched the game and it was a pretty one sided on the 1st map. I knew on that moment they would lose the game but the 2nd map was abit of relief for me only for them to lose the maps after that. Its still pretty mad achievement winning it 3 times in a row though
