00Nation cameback to takeout the young guns known as Greyhounds. So their run is done now.

00Nation was able to defeat Greyhound and NiP on the same day. They first defeated Greyhound in a full series. And then with NiP, they dropped the first map was able to out fragged  NiP in the succeeding maps. They were underdogs on both matches, but they were able to come on top. Aside from Faze getting an L, maybe 00Nation is the most unpredictable to qualify for the playoffs.

We have now Vitality. Faze, Pain, and 00Nation qualifying from Group C.

Damn, forgot to ask if anyone saw that complete breakdown by Faze when they were up against Vitality.

I thought it was going to be a walk in the park since they were up 7-0 and just cruising on map1 but after going 14-1 something happened.
They collapsed and lost the map!
How in the hell do you blow a 13 round lead and go into overtime then end up losing 19-16?
That is exactly what happened to a now desperate Faze Clan. According to this article about this weird match over the weekend between these two teams, a stand-in for Team Vitality Jackz made the difference:
https://www.hltv.org/news/35784/vitality-defeat-faze-2-0-to-secure-epl-season-17-quarter-final-berth

He got the final kill in the final map to send Faze packing.

Matches start up again Wednesday on March 15th with Group D upper bracket quarter-finals.

Esl pro league playoffs are set to start next week with the final group ending this week.

G2 look to be easy favorites to win as i dont expect faze or vitality to even come close to them

There will be match later in DOTA 2 PRO CIRCUIT IN SEA UPPER DIVISION, and I have 3 bet parlay combo. Between Army Geniuses and Talon Esports; I'll pick the Army Geniuses with odds of 3.25. Yes they are the underdog and they are newly formed team but still their chemistry is too strong. For the 2nd match between execration and bleed esports, I'll pick Execration because in the recent DPC; they are the top 1 and I'm sure that they will have a great run again in this DPC tournament. They have 1.5 odds so they are the favorite one in this matchup. And in the last match in SEA DPC it is the team SMG and Polaris Esports. Both are strong but I prefer to bet in Polaris with odds of 2.29. The total odds that I have is 11.16, it is high reward for me but still I'm managing risk very carefully so I must bet small amount of money for that bet combo.

And...... I lost  . My 3 bet parlay is already invalidated because Army Geniuses lost to Talon Esports. 23.Savage is too strong and I think their team is the current king in the SEA. Anyway, I'm waiting for EXE and Talon matchup to prove who is the no.1 in this Division. In terms of EXE and bleed, my prediction is correct because EXE won against bleed with 2-0. Bleed is a new form team and their chemistry is not yet that good. The match between SMG and Polaris is not yet starting but my predicion is still polaris will win the current matchup. The Western EU Division, will start later and Gaimin Gladiators have a match later and they are the favorite ones not only in their division but in whole Dota 2 Scene. Of course they have the upper hand so I'm gonna bet for them. I'll also pick liquid instead of OG because you know that the kings in EU are the Team liquid and the gaimin gladiators.

Took a quick look at csgo games, I think 3 maps is a good bet for the top tier games.  Navi have at times been lacking or tired in some way, 3 maps is quite viable though Forze is underdog they can win a map.  Spirit has the best aim but not quite as good on other points, they can equal Astralis for a map.   This is viable though the odds are less favorable on this match its probably equally possible for either.  
    ATK vs ENCE is notable because both teams have 5 different flags for their players, not seen that before.   I dont know ATK well enough might be an interesting match and Liquid should be winning vs Atom but the odds already show that outcome to the point Im not interested except if Im able to watch the match live and bet live possibly.

[rdbase]

After seeing Natus Vincere getting destroyed by ForZe I think almost all the favorites got their asses handed to them by the lesser known teams.
What a dreadful day if you were a bettor who usually sides with the higher tiered teams in these matches for Pro League.
Even a team I never heard of took down Team Liquid. I just wonder what their odds were for blanking Liquid on both maps going into this match?

[rdbase]

What a chess match between Navi and Astralis. This was the last match on my ESL Pro league acca for today's schedule.
Was looking that S1imple and team was just going to roll through this wounded team with a new player Buzz and couldn't be done with just Gla1ve.
Can't believe a tier 1 team has never been in a last chance bracket so to get eliminated from the tournament so early like what has happen to Astralis with this loss just now.

Won my bets on today's matches with taking the over 26.5 rounds for this one and ENCE & Team Liquid -1.5 on the same betslip for a very nice 4.63x.
It will be a nice F1 race & UFC 286 weekend for betting with this great win!

These are my 3 parlay bets for the SEA region: The matchup between geek slate vs Army geniuses, my bet is games handicap +1.5 and the match are already finished wherein my bet is a win. I made a safe bet because for me those two teams are strong. My next bet is the matchup between Blacklist Rivalry and Talon Esports. I know that Talon Esports are much stronger now but kuku and raven are still strong. Anyway, the game already finished and Talon Esports won. It is a safebet but I am prepared if my bet lose. My last bet is between SMG and EXE, I made safe bet again wherein I bet games handicap +1.5 to SMG because I know that SMG is also a strong team.

Right now, the SMG and EXE are on the game and the for sure that EXE will have upper hand in terms of hero picks and gold. I hope that they win this match because they will be in lower standings if they cannot beat the SMG.

[Peanutswar]

Recently the Nigma Galaxy are facing a problem with their team lot of changes happens MC becomes their core and now Amar the F goes for the offlane and still Sumail for the midlane MC is not too effective players once they got bullied in the laning stage, and upon checking with their recent match between the entity the game one already in favor with the entity because of the rotation they can do i don't know why kuroky still keep making a weird draft with their supports instead of having a good hero for the country initiation. They just made a win because of Amar razor OP magic and damage type and Sumails good rotation but if you tried to check the item of MC its just a super delayed farm core.

They did lose but they're still in a good position when the other half of the group is 0-2 and it's expected to see them drop in performance after losing their coach to Team Nigma.

Later I have a parlay going between BetBoom and Nouns -1.5 as I think the bookies are being generous on B8. BetBoom is still dominating their series as usual while Team Spirit already dropped a map against OneMove and I think that's more than enough to give the edge on BetBoom. Nouns are the third-best team in NA just behind TSM and Shopify, they already 2-0'd B8 last time and I don't think the outcome will change just because B8 are on their third win in a row.

[DevilSlayer]

These are my picks for SEA DPC upper division matchups:

Doubles/ 2 parlay bets

Bleed Esports VS Geek Slate

Geek slate have solid perfomance in these past matches so I'll pick Geek, The bleed esports are newly formed team and their chemistry is not yet that good. Their performace from early to late are so not good and for me they need a lot of time for adjustment for them to have solid team chemistry.


Polaris VS Talon Esports

Talon is so strong especially their carry which is 23. savage. Polaris has still a chance and we can bet a games handicap +1.5 to Polaris esports. The possibility of Polaris defeating the talon is so low because right now, the Talon is the currently number 1 in the division.

Talon had 2 easy games today and the flow continue to grow on that team so no wonder why 23 said in an interview that his real goal is to be the best carry in the world ...that auto translates into winning TI because as MMR he is already the highest right ?

Also , quite the game today from Nigma as they took 1st map from Liquid but it looks like Liquid are due for a big comeback in map 3 , after a stomp in map 2 and I must say Boxi really makes a different in Liquid drafts.

23. savage MMR drops to 9k MMR so he is not the highest MMR right now, but I'm pretty sure that he will get back to 13k MMR again. Remember that 23.Savage holds the first player to reach 12k MMR and 13K MMR in DOTA 2 so there is a high chance that he can be the 1st player to reach 14k MMR soon. As for the Nigma, I though they can close the series with 2-0, they have a good game in game number 1 but they fall short in game 2 and game 3. I do not know who is the problem in their team currently, they keep changing roles and their hero pool are so small.

These are the results of my prediction yesterday:

Polaris VS Talon Esports - WIN

Bleed Esports VS Geek Slate- LOSE

I never thought that Bleed can 2-0 the Geek slate, the SEA DPC becoming interesting. The Black list is still struggling with 0-3 Stading. They lose to AG yesterday with 2-0 in their Matchup. Yowe is currently showing potential and he is really good Mid player. I might say that Yowe can have a good future in DOTA 2. AG is currently strong and for sure that they can be in the top 3 in this current DPC sea upper division.

They are the major favorites to win this ESL Pro league season 17 from what you can view for their match to being heavily one sided with odds of @1.04x

In other CS:GO news. Two players in tier 1 teams leave their squads and possibly counter strike professional play forever:
https://www.hltv.org/news/35827/cloud9-part-ways-with-interz
https://www.hltv.org/news/35825/zero-retires-from-counter-strike

For the player Zero, I remember him from Hellraisers but he was also on GamerLegion. He was a great player so his action in the genre will be missed.
Interz has always not been performing in the last recent months so they looked for buster.
https://www.fragster.com/cloud9-replaces-interz-with-buster-in-csgo-lineup

So it came to no surprise when the the team went to twitter for announcing his release from the counter strike squad late yesterday:

I agree, Bleed looked flat in the first week and I thought they might fight for relegation at this rate but good to see them recover with an upset win against Geek Slate. Blacklist is performing as expected they look overrated in the first tour and they're likely to finish in the middle of the standings again. AG does look like a top 3 contender atm as long as they don't lose to any of the remaining teams aside from SMG.

They are the major favorites to win this ESL Pro league season 17 from what you can view for their match to being heavily one sided with odds of @1.04x

For now, they're the big favorites but once they advance even further we could be seeing closer odds since their form dropped during the groups and other teams are stepping up.

[DevilSlayer]

These will be my picks later:

Geek Slate VS Talon Esports +1.5 or Match winner

The number 1 team in SEA DPC is the talon esports, they have 0 losses and their team chemistry is so strong especially their 3 cores which are 23.Savage, jabs and Mikoto. As for the geek slate, they have still small chance to get 1 game but the probability of them winning in the series is too low but still anything can happen. As for my analysis, talon have high probability winning in this match and that is why they are the favorite ones in the matchup.

Blacklist Rivalry VS Bleed Esport +1.5 or Match winner

Blacklist rivalry is currently struggling in the DPC SEA division and they have 0 wins so far, for me this is their last chance to prove that they still got it. If they lose, there is no chance for them to play in the Majors. I still have faith to Kuku, Karl and Raven. For me they can still have a chance to pull this thing up. I'm so excited for this game later.

Army Geniuses VS Polaris Match winner

Yowe is too strong so for me they can easily defeat the Polaris, The polaris has strong members but it is not enough for them to defeat Army geniuses. It can be 2-0 or 2-1 favor to AG.

Goodluck guys!

Just watched the matches which occurred today during the ESL tournament and there were some upsets.
Team Liquid got their asses handed to them by PaIN gaming and it was not pretty at all.
They made them look like they didn't deserve to be there at all and to be a tier 1 team. They looked very pathetic playing in the match.
Navi looked sharp and so did G2 esports so they will advance into the later stage brackets and shouldn't worry one bit getting to the in finals as the tournament winds down this weekend.

[rdbase]

After watching Navi win their match earlier today, S1mple was shown what CS:GO Source 2 was going to look like.
The blooms were amazing and the environment interaction with nades to the smoke was uncanny.

It took them a very long time but I think the day has finally arrived - Summer 2023


Valve just released an official look at the new maps created in source 2 for Counterstrike.

Speaking of upsets another one just happened earlier and it's on G2 as they lost 0-2 against ENCE. Congrats to whoever backed ENCE during this series as I remember seeing their odds around 5.2 while G2 were the heavy favs at 1.15.

I also saw the announcement earlier thanks to the streamers covering it and overall it looks great.
