[dimonstration]

Also, the roster announcements from the Dota scene is getting interesting, Sumail and iceiceice on Secret, Matu on Liquid, Fly competing in the SEA region.

Team Secret and EG has the greatest improvement on roster due to shuffle. Both teams added a capable player on there own respective role especially Jerax and Sumail in both team. Sumail can finally show his full potential by playing mid again while Nisha will be back on pos1. Can't for this 2 teams to clash.

On the Sea, Talon Esports which is Fly new team is performing well on DPC tournaments despite there loss for qualifier, They still show an impressive run considering that they are new. By the way Omega E-Sports is already ban from any valve tournament due to match fixing issue.

Talon Esports is now qualified on division 2, they just have to keep pushing and take every opportunity that they can for these qualifiers. Next week is the DPC season and we're going to watch again the most exciting days of Dota 2 again. New rosters are there and it's always the fun part every after TI.

I'm also excited to watch the new roster of OG. Notail is known best for scouting new talents, the way he scouted and discovered ana and topson, there must be something with OGs new roster.

We'll see though, I don't want to be negative but I still remember their trial run with OG Seed and unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Also, have a ticket on HR@1.4, hopefully it falls through so I have some extra balance to burn for tomorrow's live casino.

Yeah, I remember OG.Seed. They've parted ways with them eventually but they've been with the seed while the main roster of OG has been there playing together.

This time, it's a complete new roster and with notail and probably ceb on their backs as their coach and analyst. I think topson would also help these new roster of theirs basically as another coach of theirs. So it would be the retired original roster to coach these new lads.

On November 30, 2021, we'll see their first match against the new roster of Team Secret too. I'm not expecting a lot with the first few games.

CS GO's Lyngby Vikings changed their name to Ecstatic just two weeks ago.
https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/ECSTATIC
Was wondering why my bets were showing a different name then what was being played yesterday.
https://en.game-tournaments.com/csgo/team/ecstatic
So don't think it was an error as I did when I had a bet in my parlay not showing the names properly yet.
Today was a good day in CS:GO with a solid betslip shown for the early day matches:

Savage was playing horribly for the past two days and every single match I bet on them they lost before the -1.5 maps I managed to grab on them earlier on in the week. But have lost every other one on there after.
Funny their match which just ended with Touch the Crown got me the win!

[ralle14]

Also had a couple of wins yesterday on CSGO and League, took Navi -1.5 @1.60 live against Vitality then Cerberus Esports@1.5 on VCS. Both picks hit 2-0 with ease I just wish it's always like that.  

Moving on to some more VCS combining GAM and Burst The Sky for 1.50, GAM slowly finding their old form as they're now on a 3 win streak and the same goes for Burst The Sky as both of them face the bottom teams in the table.

Edit : Another 2-0 win, for both favorites. 

[rdbase]

Some big matches yesterday with the ones I placed bets on which were in the Blast fall series finals.
The big teams stepped up and showed why they were there with a solid win for Astralis vs Heroic.
So it comes down to this match to see who will face Na'vi in the final later on today.
Here is the match where I put in my bet on Astralis:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/counter-strike/blast-cs-go/blast-premier-series/team-vitality-vs-astralis-61a2e167fbdae0849d85d809
Just about 3 1/2 hours left til this match begins so there is still time to place your bets on the Blast Premier finals.

If you watched them yesterday night in Copenhagen then you know they absolutely played lights out on map 2 with a 16-4 win to make it this far to face Team Vitality.

I'll be backing Team Empire vs Gambit, we haven't seen the performance of the new Gambit squad but I think Team Empire should come out on top knowing they put up a good performance on the D2CL these past few weeks.

Good thing that Sportsbet also has Betsy so that I could boost my stakes on the other side since i've been hitting their limits recently.

Damn, we are on opposite sides of Empire-Gambit match. I just never liked Empire and my bets always go against them They are one of those teams that never properly sat with me. Waiting now for second map of Boom vs. Neon, have Boom -1.5 in this one. First map was easy for Boom but drafts for second map look like it will be much tighter second map. That is on the same ticket as Gambit for me.

Also have a very small bet (BO1) on IEM Winter matches but they have some technical problems at the moment and both matches are paused.

It looks like you're on the money, Empire shit the bed on both matches and Gambit smoothly controlled the lead throughout the series.

Moving on to the IEM tournament, locked in this 3 team parlay between BIG, Gambit, and Fnatic slightly worried on the side of BIG but i'm very confident on the other two though. What do you guys think?

I do like your selections for the IEM tournament. I had Heroic winning on a betslip which died earlier on so them not winning their first map didn't matter anymore to me. So going to focus on the following matches for the remainder of today with this acca:

The first match has started already so going to watch it live in a few minutes.

Also surprised to see Team Liquid still competing while they announced during the Blast Premier final they were disbanding due to their personal differences.
They will be officially going their separate ways by the end of the year from what I gathered watching the interview with Elige:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVH5U90-gKc

Good video to watch if you are interested to know the specific reasons why they have been struggling as of last year.

[Trofo]

Damn, this IEM tournament is hard to get correct. I lost all my initial bets and decided to mix it up a little and go against my gut since it is obviously not tuned to CS. My gut was telling me NIP and BIG should win so I placed a bet on their opponents to take at least a map for high stake and ML for low stake. One map is in the pocket on both matches so it already proved profitable and I got at least some money back to replenish my bank.

I think I will skip rest of the tournament or go against the favorites all to the end.

[STT]

I think hardest game to call tomorrow will be Vitality vs G2.   I'll bet 3 maps on that in the main I think, they should be able to challenge each other that much.
Gambit over Faze is most likely, I reckon Fnatic should take BIG if they keep up their best performance and Nip over Liquid though Liquid beating Astralis is good its partly because Astralis is in a struggle seems like right now.

On all of those I wonder if just betting 3 maps is more of a consistent gain then the imprecise guess of performance on the day, they are all close enough to be 3 maps seems like.

We know OG is one of the dominating teams from previous years but this new member of the OG is so strong imagine the 16 years old player of the OG gives a good shot against the team secret and they make some trash-talk with their interview previously on the DPC i guess they are now earning a good points for their next International if they might get a good complexity this is another time for the OG to win the Ti.

Astralis were looking pretty good in Blast Premier Final, but I guess they were just on fire and the other teams are under pressure from the crowd  . Now back to normal performance  


Betting on dota, I can aim for winrate based on draft or even with just pre-match bet. But on csgo, we have to be very strict with the risk and reward ratio. I learned it since the online season of CSGO, but will it stay the same in LAN season?

On their match between the astralis and vitality, I thought they will handle the game but again the vitality manage to win the rounds and unexpected shots, on the finals against the Navi I didn't watch the game but I didnt except the Astralis didn't manage those game play like their championship, unlike the dota 2 they change their roosters mostly than the CSGO. It's more riskier to bet with dota nowadays because of the match-fixing recently used.

That's because CSGO barely has an actual off-season as there are so many scheduled tournaments with different point systems, so some teams are forced to announce new players just a few days after the tournament while DOTA only has the DPC leagues where there's a lot of time to pick and choose after TI ends.

For me, it's the other way around I still think CSGO is more risker as it's frustrating to see certain teams throw their leads or push the match into overtime before closing it out.

I bet also on both and it's easier for me to go more for Dota instead of CSGO. There's this vital part in CSGO that we don't have to let go upon analyzing which team to bet.

Whilst in Dota 2, you can look at the roster changes which is one factor but it doesn't totally depict who's going to win. There are underdog teams that are winning against a Tier 1 team with TI winners and placers.

[ralle14]

Going for a small punt on this pick Polaris -1.5 @1.49 vs 496 Gaming, Polaris took down one of the best teams in their division which is Talon.

I honestly think they're in a decent position to take one of the promotional spot for Division 1 with the way they're playing at the moment and should win 2-0 against 496 Gaming since they're already 0-2 and haven't taken a map against their opponents.

Actually Polaris is of the strong team on SEA before talon was Form. If I remember correctly, They are the one who fight on the Grand final match on the latest SEA tournament before DPC starts. They just become an underdog again after TNC roster distribute on different team like Boom Esports and Talon. I'm not surprised that they sweep talon since talon is still adjusting because of there complete set of new roster. Also Gabbi is still not showing an impressive game maybe because he was on vacation for a long time after TNC didn't make on TI.
