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!

Geek Slate VS Talon Esports +1.5 or Match winner - WIN

-My prediction in this matchup is correct, I thought that the geek slate will defeat the Talon with 2-0 but the Talon destroy the Geek in game number 2 and game number 3. 2-1 favor to Talon. Like what I said, 23 savage is so strong in this DPC tournament


Blacklist Rivalry VS Bleed Esport +1.5 or Match winner - WIN

Frist win of blacklist Rivalry in this DPC tournament, they have solid 2 games. There are a lot of bettors who did not foresee this scenario because they thought that the blacklist will surely lose but they are wrong. raven did a good carry in the last 2 games, I though he gonna get rampage in the game number 2. Bleed is also strong but they are newly formed team so for me they need more experience for them to defeat the top 3 in the SEA DPC

Army Geniuses VS Polaris - TBA

I thought that this match will be held yesterday but I was wrong, the match will start later and my prediction is still like that, I'll go match winner with Army Geniuses.

I hope that my 3 parlay bet will Win. Waiting for the AG to beat the Polaris.

There are also a lot of bettors who became frustrated because of the matchup yesterday between Tundra and Thunders, they never thought that the Thunders will beat the Tundra with 2-0. A lot of parlay matches has been invalidated because of this match results.

I had this one on my bet yesterday  Blacklist Rivalry VS Bleed Esport with BR taking both maps and it worked but after that , I've placed all on Tundra 1st map and I've lost everything. Funny how a Div2 team , moved into Div1 and is doing chaos within teams because OOredOO won against every top team from WEU Div1  .

Today , Hellraisers vs BetBoom should be a 2-0 for BetBoom in my opinion.

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

Alot of videos coming out now with some players having access to play from valve.
Here is a sample that I have witnessed of the smoke physics which are just insane!

S1mple had an invite to play and be a betatester of course.

ESL Pro League Seaon 17 Quarter Finals are happening today!
Beginning in about 2 hours from now so strap in, it is going to be an awesome ride for these end of the season matchups!

Faze clan vs Forze epsorts is a one-sided affair with Faze being the favorites @1.22x while Forze are a whopping @4.00x odds in the this tilted to the Faze-Up crew.

Heroic vs Navi 4 hours after the first match of the day started. These two teams are pretty level Heroic being the favorites @1.65x while Navi who had lost their past matches to lower ranked teams are @2.15x so your guess is as good as mine who will take the spot in the finals on Sunday.

As Sportsbet.io official resident here on the forums has already mentioned on the Sportsbet.io Announcement thread, there is an issue with the category of esports which was located on the scrolling tab at the top of the site. But it hasn't been there for the past couple of weeks.
So you can gain access to these markets via the drop down menu to the upper left of the main site screen and scroll down to where it says "Esports" to get to this link below:

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.
~~

This is really unexpected im playing csgo and of course, having a lower rank team just for fun we really enjoy but theres a lot of players come back because of this game's new features which is getting more realistic and the map texture get really rendered people who have rtx really enjoy this game imagine the molotov right now are spreading and not just only have fire but spreading of it even the smoke right now is responsive it is really affect the possible movement of the enemies even the bomb can deflect all the smoke. I guess tons of player would like to try right now the csgo against valorant for a while.

It's insane! Just like the title of Anomaly's test about it. I was actually smiling while watching this clip, I don't know why. Excited maybe?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIZ_j8_2m4c&t=26s


The details were super-enhanced. The AWP, damn I cannot get over it when I saw the bullet path having an afterimage. It's almost like a Rail Gun of the Quake Series. That's just too amazing. Maybe I will dream about it later. 
I am sure more players will be pulled into this game, I don't have a high-end graphics card but I would really like to test it too.
Not many changes in the sound effects but I don't think that would be an issue.

[boltz]

It seems like Entity are struggling a lot lately to find a working draft that could still be relevant after game time goes over 30 minutes because today against Liquid , they really played well for first half of the game and then suddenly , nothing is working for them during fights. I know that this patch is not friendly for a lot of teams but you need to adjust just like Tundra did , after they failed in last major , they comeback in DPC Season 2 and they are wrecking everyone right now.

[jakelyson]

The game between Navi and Heroic has just started.

Taking the side of Heroic to win this match against Navi. Though Navi has improved a lot, I think Heroic is still way better than Navi. I think Heroic will be taking this match easy. What do you think guys?

Army Geniuses VS Polaris - match winner

I won on my 3 parlay bets, I ended my losing streak haha. Army geniuses won with 2-1 score, they did a good reverse sweep. At first game, the game is really bad for them and they experienced a lot of technical errors where a lot of disconnectionin their part. For me it is one of the reason why they lose in the 1st game, the hero also are not good and the Polaris is so strong in the game number 1. Army geniuses destroyed the Polaris in game number 2 and game number 3, they showed that their team have upper hand when it comes to skills, experience, chemistry and gameplay. Polaris have still 0 win in the tournament, hoping to see some match winner in their future games.

These will be my bets for today: (DPC China upper Division)

Aster VS  Vici   - match winner

Aster.Aries VS Xtreme +1.5 or Match winner

Invictus VS Vici +1.5 or Match winner

Chinese teams are so fun to watch, they have unique gameplay, ganking and also builds. I think it is the reason why chinese DOTA teams have a lot of fans around the world. I'm looking forward to these matches. Goodluck to us guys!

The finals are here for Pro league season 17 at Saint Julian's in Malta!
We have a B05 for this match between Faze Clan up against a surprising Cloud 9.
I certainly didn't see this team making it to this point with all the over hauling of their roster during the season.

Here are the match-up statistics straight from the Esports Hub on Sportsbet.io:

Bets can be placed right from the Counter-Strike section using the top tab at the link below:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/esports-betting

Going to be watching this one and enjoying the conclusion of this season long tournament.

[boltz]

I would say Cloud 9 has the better chances right ? I've watched their games this week and they look solid , especially on opening rounds and pistols as they win most of them every time. The only problem with Cloud 9 right now is they still have the old Gambit problem with closing up games earlier when they have a huge advantage because most of the times , they will start to choke and give the enemy a few "free" rounds that somehow ends up with a shaming defeat for Cloud 9 but this time , they know how to close their maps.

Faze...I don't think there is something new that we can say about them so I expect top CS:GO from them today even if I support C9.

[rdbase]

@boltz
Well it was destined to happen so Faze Clan wins the Pro league season 17 championship and it wasn't much of a contest to be honest.
They made up for losing the last finals earlier in the year with this win and getting the over $1million prize in doing it in style.
Twistzz is the only player in pro league to win this championship twice with two different teams which is a very surprising statistic to hear.
I thought Cloud9 were going to put up a better fight than what they did actually and had over 4.5 maps.
They had the old Gambit roster so I guess back to the drawing board for the coach and the team is needed so to be more competitive in their next championship run.
https://afkgaming.com/csgo/news/cloud9-acquires-gambit-esports-lineup-to-re-enter-csgo

[ralle14]

I would say Cloud 9 has the better chances right ?

I was also expecting Cloud9 would come out on top as they had a clean form during the group stage but Faze's map pool is too much for them to handle and it showed when Faze manage to steal their first map pick Overpass.


WEU dotes are on the menu later today, I tried to recommend Team Liquid on the other thread and their odds are still in a good spot to bet when their opponent (Tundra) doesn't seem to be on the same level recently.



Team Nigma would've been a value bet but their odds already shifted from 2.35 to 1.45 and I think it's close enough when OG is losing most of their series and all of them are 2-0s.

[DevilSlayer]

These will be my picks later for SEA upper Division:

SMG VS Army Geniuses  +1.5 or Match winner

SMG and Army Geniuses have both Wins and lose in this division, they have both 4 Wins and 1 loss. The stats of SMG are much higher because all of their wins are purely 2-0 run and they only lose 0-2 to the Talon Esports while Army Geniuses usually goes to game number 3 so that's why they have loss in matchups. But when it comes to standing, they only lose 1 on the Talon Esports. Both of them are strong team, for safe bettors; I think it is better just to bet 1.5+ to EXE because there is always external factors that you should be aware

Blacklist Rivalry VS Geek Slate +1.5 or Match winner

For me Blacklist Rivalry have upper hand in this match, their team chemistry is now good and they showed it to the last game. They are in the middle of the standings with 1 Win and 3 losses while the Geek slate have 0 win and 4 losses. We can already see who has the upper hand in this matchup. For me, SKEM is struggling so there is a high chance that Blacklist can pull this thing out.

My pick for DPC Western EU upper division

Entity VS Gaimin Gladiators +1.5 or Match winner

Gaimin Gladiators are so strong, they are currently number 1 in the WEU, they have 3 wins and only 1 loss. They also defeated the Team liquid which is considered as one of the strongest DOTA 2 team currently in the world. Entity is also strong with 2 wins and 2 losses but for me Gaimin has the advantage especially when it comes to farming and ganking. I'll go with the GG within this matchup

[passwordnow]

Blacklist Rivalry VS Geek Slate +1.5 or Match winner

For me Blacklist Rivalry have upper hand in this match, their team chemistry is now good and they showed it to the last game. They are in the middle of the standings with 1 Win and 3 losses while the Geek slate have 0 win and 4 losses. We can already see who has the upper hand in this matchup. For me, SKEM is struggling so there is a high chance that Blacklist can pull this thing out.

I am watching this game right now, the first game was done and it was an easy and quick game for Geek Slate. Honestly, I am not impressed with how the run of Blacklist is going with this DPC tour. Geek Slate is much better and from the performance, they've shown in the last tournament in which they participated. On the first game, skem was Lycan and it was a smooth game for them and Blacklist struggled. Well, the 2nd game is ongoing, and hope that there will be a tie in this series so that it will reach until game 3 which is the decider.

[Beparanf]

Watching Dota2 WEU DPC tourney fight between Gaimin Gladiator and Entity. The match is so good during early to mid game because Entity manage to fight evenly on the team fight. Gaimin Gladiator get the advantage after TB gets his core item and Quinn Pango is very annoying on the side of Entity.

The SS of TB to Pango is very sick because it gives Quinn second round of skill spam that brought down most HP of Entity due to its swashbuckle that penetrates on armor. I hope Entity can bounce back because I just place +1.5 with them after seeing that they can fight evenly on early game to mid game.

[jakelyson]

Watching the game between Team Liquid and Tundra in EU Spring Tour. Currently, team Liquid is way ahead of Tundra with a lead amounting to almost 30K. It is already late game and it looks like this is team Liquid map. My bet is looking good. I think this will go the long way but I think team Liquid will still win this match up.

These are the results of my predictions earlier:

SMG VS Army Geniuses  +1.5 or Match winner - LOST

SMG is so strong, they 2-0 the Army geniuses, I though that the AG will have the game number 1 because they have good intro game wherein the pudge and nature's prophet have good farming and laning stage. But they struggle in the mid game and teh SMG fully take over the game 1. In game number 2, yowe picked Tinker again but it is not enough to tie the match, the SMG really destroyed the AG in game number 2.

Blacklist Rivalry VS Geek Slate +1.5 or Match winner - WIN

I thought that the blacklist will be 0-2 with the matchup between geekslate, but they did a good run where they achieved reverse sweep. In game number 1, Raven has a good farm and aslo laning stage but Karl and Kuku are both gap in their lane and for me it is the reason why they lose in the game number 1. The blacklist have good run in the game number 2 and for me this is where raven showed that he is still the best carry in the SEA. His sniper is really really strong. They destroyed the GS in the game number 2. I like the pick of the Blacklist in the game number 3 even though their mid game is not that good. For me this game was considered as comeback because Sf is so rich in that game, but they able to turn the tide of the game.

Entity VS Gaimin Gladiators +1.5 or Match winner - WIN

Gaimin is so strong, there is no doubt about it. They are playing out of the world. they only proved that they really deserve the number 1 spot in the WEU. They literally beat the entity with 2-0 in their favor.

I'll post again my predictions and analysis for the next DPC matches

I'll post again my predictions and analysis for the next DPC matches

Nice, congratulations on your bets/predictions and there's more to come from SEA and other regions if that's what you're focusing on. I wish that some SA fans and bettors would come and join these discussions. GG is making it, they're still kind of underrated despite that they've won the Lima major. And now, they're on top 1 on their region and will probably sure to qualify the Berlin major.

[rdbase]

I would say Cloud 9 has the better chances right ?

You were right @ralle14 once again! Team Liquid are very good high level team in DOTA2.

Watching the game between Team Liquid and Tundra in EU Spring Tour. Currently, team Liquid is way ahead of Tundra with a lead amounting to almost 30K. It is already late game and it looks like this is team Liquid map. My bet is looking good. I think this will go the long way but I think team Liquid will still win this match up.

Looks like a good solid win for you @jakelyson Nicely done!
https://www.joindota.com/matches/555542-team-liquid-vs-tundra-esports

They 2:0 Tundra and I think you are correct with Liquid being a heavy contender in this DOTA2 tournament so can't wait to see who they will face next.
I will be putting a small wager on them in this matchup if I get on it early enough that is.
