Another result for my betting slip I haven't made a screenshot of the result but these are my betting tickets,

Invictus Gaming vs OG 1 - 1 - DRAW

OG got me as well, I had a similar parlay and they were the only leg that ruined my bet.

So many one-sided odds for today and there's not much value to take aside from the underdogs winning at least a map.

I was thinking of continue fading the bottom teams but i'll take TL to beat PSG.LGD since they need to go 4-0 today if they want to qualify for the upper bracket.

PSG-LGD were just awful from what I recall of their game play while betting on them because they were the heavy favorites. Didn't they lose four in a row?
If they haven't changed from last season then this should be an easy win for Team Liquid.

Also in League of Legends finals in a few hours from now, IW are the favorites to win @1.38x against UOL.

IW Cats couldn't make a good start to the EMEA Masters finale. Unicorns of Love got a 2-0 lead and I was really worried about IW Cats' future in this matchup. However they have finally managed to recover and they are playing quite effectively on the 4th game of the series as well. BAO has been quite impressive so far. Especially in the 3rd game he did a pretty good job and played a big role in team fights to win.

Right now there is nearly a 10k gold difference and a 14-3 score lead for IW Cats. If there isn't any big surprise they should be carrying the series to the 5th and last game.

Having tuned late into the fourth map, glad to have the update as I am following this closely with the odds being 1.55x going into the final map.
Looking at Wild Cats in this one they look like the strong side so hopefully they can keep this momentum going and win the championship title in the Masters tournament.

edit: Wild Cats just won! After seeing the double kill at 11-8, you just knew it was over as they were getting those shut down! against the Unicorns of love.
Congratulations to those who believed in @CLS63 and his prediction early on in the tournament.
They must of been at good odds if you grabbed them when he posted the table up on here.

I'm quite happy to see a team from my country winning a notable international tournament like EMEA Masters. Because it isn't very common to see a Turkish team becoming very successful in such tournaments despite playing really solid in their own league, TCL. This will make a big addition to IW Cats' experience level and hopefully I can see the continuation of this high effort.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting this much comfortable win for IW Cats in the last game. UOL couldn't have ideal team fights against their opponent. There was a big difference between the team efforts in the decider game.

If they haven't changed from last season then this should be an easy win for Team Liquid.

Both teams are struggling on this map. But this match of them ended with a tie, 1-1.

While Team Liquid was likely about to get eliminated and at the bottom of the placement of this group stage, they've saved themselve from that just a few hours ago when they were against Execration.

Although they're not yet secured to play for the lower bracket of the playoffs as it's likely that them, Team Aster and BetBoom could have a triple tie tomorrow I guess if my calculations are right.


For group B standings, these teams have secured the upper bracket for the playoffs.

• Tundra
• OG
• Team Spirit
• Shopify Rebellion

While for the group A, currently it's just Gaiming Gladiators that's currently set and still waiting for the other three teams for the upper bracket.

[jakelyson]

After the three way tie breaker between Aster, EG, and Betboom, we have now the bracketing for the Upper and Lower brackets. Betboom is the last team eliminated in the tournament after playing very poorly against Aster and EG.



Looking at the Upper Bracket quarterfinals, I am betting with Gaimin Gladiator, Team Liquid, Shopify Rebellion, and Tundra Esports to move up to Upper Bracket Semifinals.

I have a little doubt on Tundra to make it but PSG.LGD is playing poorly lately and Tundra is quite disciplined. Their gameplay is a little boring, but it is effective for them. With the current map, Tundra has all the space and jungle they need to execute their gameplay.

[STT]

Always rate discipline, training, teamwork >   can be op and is quite rare in esports as obviously the teams are so young and random, generally.


Nouns vs ATK right now both Csgo teams are quite closely ranked.  Nous winning the enemy map pick but not with a large round advantage, they are the higher ranked team.  I would think either 3 maps more probable here or possible the underdog could win this in contention.

ITB vs 9ine  with ITB having a ridic comeback the other day from near disaster they appear to be a team on the edge but also capable of that struggle sometimes required to turn around match and in csgo the economy to win.  They also took Navi to OT so apparently capable of things, I'll go with them for this one as I want to watch them this time and it could be interesting.

ITB beat Pain the other day and Brazilians to me I think are always dangerous they got a different energy to play that can upset teams; their recent games are almost all wins but not vs many top teams.  But anyway for a multi I put down C9 Astralis and OG as just a quick multi bet not too adventurous but since I often bet on upsets Im never super comfortable tbh.

It was an excellent match for the ESL ONE Berlin Major I had my bet on 1 of the games I was late posting it but I made a bet for this game

ESL ONE Berlin Major

Tundra Esports vs PSG.LGD Game Score 2 - 1 - Tundra WINS  

For this game, I always thought that Tundra Esports would win but it can also become a close match, and it was a close game for these two teams game 1 was a win for Tundra Esports with Skiter's Ursa he managed to get 14 kills while the team has gotten a great spread that manages 30 kills to PSG's 14 kills and gotten 4 towers to PSG's 2 towers, while Game 2 it was now PSG.LGD's win and NothingToSay's Storm Spirit did an amazing job while the rest of the teams have a decent spread and a ton of assists to win the game PSG managed to get 31 kills and 11 towers to Tundra's 12 kills and 2 towers, winning game 2 while entering Game 3 Skiter's now got Sven as his hero, while Sneyking with his Mirana snuck 28 assist now Tundra accumulated 36 kills and 8 towers while PSG got 15 kills and 3 towers winning the game, here are my game ticket,

[boltz]

Team Spirit is the first big team that goes home from Berlin Major   but they simply forgot how to draft because yesterday they let Medusa vs Gamin and they got a quick 2-0 and today they let Alchemist twice against Aster and it ended up with another 2-0. I still have confidence that it's just patch related and they always had slower adaptation to new stuff in Dota because their hero pool is still very small compared to other teams.

Next series might be a bit boring if Liquid goes instantly 2-0 over Xtreme. Quick reminder that Xtreme were 1st on DPC season 2 so there are chances for a surprise or at least taking 1 map from Liquid.

MSI tournament has started. The most impressive matchup was between G2 Esports and LOUD in my opinion. I was able to watch the first match of the series. The beginning of that match was pretty surprising. Because LOUD's jungler Croc forgot to buy a starting item and he realized it after smiting his red buff.    The first moments of the match were a little balanced but later on G2 Esports started to outweigh their opponent as I expected. Jinx is such a late-game champ really as she can be a game changer.

The tournament will go on with Movistar R7 - Bilibili Gaming and GAM Esports - Golden Guardians matchups tomorrow.

It is really nice to see that there are other people who are interested in League of Legends except me. I assume this stems from that League of Legends is the biggest e-sports game in our country. I didn't like MSI's new format. In my opinion groups were adding more excitement to this. The thing I'm wondering the most is whether T1 can win MSI this season. They are used to losing in the finale after making it to the end.

On the first map of Team Spirit against Team Aster, it is no contest that was a game really for Team Aster.

But when on their 2nd map, if someone's going to check the set of heroes that Team Aster has got. 4 heroes was picked again the same, yes, the same heroes except one! The changed hero was offlane of xxs which was Axe on the first game and then Doom for the 2nd map.

There's no respect ban for the windranger of sumail and that's terrible on them. Although on their 2nd map, it's looking that they're about to win but with a few mistake, they've ended up losing it.

And for EG ang Shopify Rebellion, as easy and clean 2-0 belongs to EG. Well done, South American region.

I was busy with work so this is the only time I am making this post,

Team Liquid vs Xtreme Gaming OVER 2.5

Well Just as I thought the game will be 3 matches instead of 2, now Xtreme Gaming has won game 1 it was a close match but Ghost's Drow Ranger made that win possible with 15 kills and 12 assists Extreme Gaming made a great win 37 kills and 10 towers while Liquid got 24 kills and 4 towers, while in game 2 and 3 Team Liquid's Strategy has changes both game 2 and 3 they have the same strategy that is to gain more resources than Xtreme, Nisha was the key killer but all teams have spread out the killing points Team Liquid accumulated 28 kills and 7 towers while 4 kills and 2 towers for extreme in game 2 while 28 kills and 10 towers by Team Liquid and 11 kills and 3 towers for Xtreme Gaming on game 3, to win my Over 2.5 bet,

Shopify Rebellion vs Evil Geniuses OVER 2.5

While I have gotten a bad decision in this one, I thought that Shopify Rebellion could at least put up the fight but yeah they didn't and Evil Geniuses have taken all wins on game 1 it was Chris Luck's Shadow Fiend that is leaping with kills he has taken 11 kills for Evil Geniuses overall kills of 28 and 8 towers to Shopify Rebellion's 3 kills 1 tower only, while Game 2 Evil Geniuses continue their streak with Pakazs' Alchemist 10 kills and 9 assists gaining a 26 kills and 8 towers for Evil Geniuses and just 14 kills and 3 towers for Shopify Rebellion, Losing my Over 2.5 bet,

[boltz]

I'm rocking with 3 maps today and I'm picking the winner on each of them. I went with Talon on 1st map as the draft was easy to read from their side. Now , on 2nd map , I chose PSG because their draft is simply a monster in late game and I do hope they will get there.



For 3rd map , if I win that one , I will go with Talon to take the series.

[rdbase]

Nice betslips for those esport leagues @jakelyson & @boltz !

Nothing too much happening worth mentioning about in Counterstrike when it comes to tournaments as we are all waiting for the major in Paris later in the month and beginning in June.
So thought I would show a video I found late last week on Source 2.
Where it shows good side by side comparisons of the current one and the new one in action:

The second map was tight and got me hoping for a third map but unfortunately, Talon's advantage was just too much in the late game.

Hats off to PSG.LGD for holding on for so long because I already thought the game was over when Talon was building up their lead nicely around the 20 min mark and they're putting pressure on PSG.LGD in every part of the map.

They're commendable with that and I can say that NTS really did play well for helping the entire team with his Timbersaw. But enough is enough and they fell short as Talon was the better team. This roster of PSG.LGD doesn't look really strong as of the moment because they've ended up too early on this tournament but then I'm sure that they'll come back stronger. And for some news about in one SEA team that's overhyped which is the Blacklist Rivalry, they've taken Kpii as their pos 3 while Kuku moves to pos 5.

Round 1 matches in MSI have ended and the results:



And the current odds for Round 2 are:



I think that it is the end of the road for PSG Talon because G2 are obviously the strongest team among the remaining teams in this round. Bilibili Gaming and GAM Esports should also be comfortable with their series. However I have mixed feelings about LOUD - Detonation FM. I think this series is open for a surprise. I might think of picking LOUD for betting maybe to try my luck maybe. I don't think all the favourites would win in this round.

[jakelyson]

Sheesh another loss and another win for me in the current game right now when making my bet and then seeing the result but that is OK

Gaimin Gladiators vs OG Over 2.5 - LOST

Gaimin Gladiators totally wreck OG I really thought that OG could possibly win 1 game but they didn't, Quinn with (Ember Spirit) and dyrachYO with (Terrorblade) played all OG players with 11 kills and 25 assists for Quinn and 14 kills and 15 assists for dyrachYO that have given the Gladiators 42 kills and 11 towers to 22 kills and 3 towers of the OG, on game 1 for a Gaimin Gladiator win, while in game 2 Ace with (Doom) got 10 kills and 12 assist and Quinn with (Pangolier) got 17 kills and 15 assists to get 41 kills and 8 towers for Gaiming Gladiators to  topple 6 kills and 0 tower of the OG it was a total domination for Gaimin Gladiators

9 Pandas vs Tundra Esports Over 2.5 - WIN

While 9 Panda won the game Tundra Esports got a chance because the game was really close and we all know that this is everyman for their win, Game 1 was a pretty close one, mostly 9 Pandas focus on towers and they got 15 kills to Tundra's 11 kills and 9 Pandas got 9 towers to Tundra's 3 towers, for 9 Pandas winning Game 1, while Game 2 was a pretty much awakening of Tundra they have gotten more aggressive to get this win and Saksa with (Bounty Hunter) have gotten 12 kills and 6 assists to make 23 kills and 6 towers for Tundra Esports on 7 kills 0 towers of 9 Pandas in Game 2, while the depressed kid wasn't happy anymore on what is happening and decided to strike back with the depressed kid with (Tinker) got 25 kills and 10 assists, that have catered 42 kills and 8 towers for 9 Pandas to 36 kills and 5 towers of Tundra Esports,

Amazingly enough Blast.Tv will still be commencing with the challengers stage next week.
https://www.hltv.org/events/6794/blasttv-
Since this part of it is done online.

Not to sure if the major event will still be taking place with all that is transpiring in France right now.
Many are saying right now it's at a level of calling it the French Revolution 2.0 - Police riot squads are getting molitov cocktail bottles thrown on them in the streets making it look like a round out of Counterstike.
Pure khaos going on in Paris for awhile now.
