I placed bets on Young Ninjas to win their first match yesterday and then the second because they were playing a weaker team.
But they got beat pretty bad in the second match.
So it seems the map chosen does make a difference even to these younger teams in their game play.

I will keep backing Astralis talent for the rest of the tournament because I like their roster as I see they do play well together as a team.

This is where the games got interesting on which probabilities of be beaten up by weaker teams could really happen even myself didnt expect and speaking

of map chosen then its one of the factors but as a good team then quality of being versatile is a must no matter what map would be chosen up
but well lets move on and something like this could happen anytime.

LPL is back on the menu, i'm going for EDG -1.5 @1.51 expecting a smooth 2-0 from the current world champs as they go against JDG, not much information go against JDG but imo I think they're a mid table team as their roster don't look that good. Also, they got 0-4 in the Demacia Cup but during that tournament they're playing with a couple of their academy players rather than the full main lineup.

Edit : 2-0 win from EDG as expected but JDG put up a decent fight at the start of game 2 but they kept making small mistakes and EDG capitalized on it.

We have a new team I haven't seen before for the Academy side of CS:GO named Eternal fire.
There are the usual ones from last season returning such as Natus Vincere Junior, Big Academy, Fnatic Rising, Young Ninjas and Mouse Nxt.
The matches can be seen here:

Skipping the Blast tournament for now as i've been enjoying League from different regions.

With that said I got DRX +1.5 @1.87 they'll be facing NS and I think the bookies are giving way too much credit on NS as they're able to perform decently against the top teams like Damwon and T1 then at the same time underestimating DRX after 0-3 in their first three series. I think this goes to three maps as DRX is starting to gain some momentum and  they could maybe even win at this point as they looked clean against KDF and BRO in their last two series.

[STT]

I wonder if Astralis can dominate this Blast series overall.   BO1 favors the underdog more then a normal 3 map match up but they seem strong enough in any case, not really the underdog especially.  They are about to beat Navi unless they mess up things especially or Navi pulls a rabbit out of the hat.  mibr should be the loser in whichever match follows.
   I put Liquid and Faze down as a multibet for 3x odds on the basis they both have a good chance of winning outright.

Yeah the underdogs seem to winning their matches. The first day I put in a parlay for G2 and Big to win.
G2 won their map but NIP who were team with odds over 3.10x beat Big. B01 series seem to be in favor of those teams who get off on the right foot early on.
MiBR were heavy underdogs going against NaVI as I seem their odds at 4.00x but they beat them anyways.
OG look to be the team to beat this tournament winning every match so far.

[ralle14]

I took K23 @1.58 vs Copenhagen Flames for today, their win against Heroic seems impressive but at the same time, their form somewhat became a factor since they're on a slump.

Copenhagen Flames took down Eternal Flame in a 2-1 fashion even though we haven't seen much on their side I still think we'll see another win on the side of K23 since they're currently on a tear.

[rdbase]

^^
The Pinnacle winter series had some matches over the weekend and those were interesting to see. After these we will have the Grand Semi-Finals starting.
I like K23 to win as well and will put them in with another matchup later in the day.

[ralle14]

It looks like K23 got the job done and secure themselves a slot on the LAN Sweet LAN tournament.

I ended up taking Complexity @1.34 vs MIBR it's not the best odds but this is the only match that seems predictable as NAVI could underperform again given they already lost two BO1s in the group stage. On the other match, BIG vs EG seems like a toss up as BIG only took down Complexity in their groups.

[rdbase]

Went with MiBR this round against Complexity from what I remember of them early on in the tournament over the weekend they won and being the massive underdogs so will go with them here.
Have the favorites winning the remainder of the day in the Blast premier series.

Lots of upset type matches today and Im glad I missed them as the straight 2 map finish means I would be unlikely to have caught it correctly, I would expect 3 maps usually.   I think Astralis must still be adjusting to having blameF on the team and how best to combat each strategy operated against them, they are no longer the flawless machine with no crevice to exploit they now leave plenty of opportunities despite remaining a great team overall.
   Navi getting 7 rounds only on Mirage is slightly ridic, I will choose to credit NiP for staying solid to close that series out.   I think some of this has to be called warmup or something, it'll be different coming into the Major.

Forthcoming, I'll go with Nip over OG but also I'd imagine it does take the full 3 maps to do so. It was very close last time they played.
G2 Vitality I dont know but 3 maps seems best
I'll guess Big over Faze but I reckon this might be the most volatile of the 3 outcomes.  I need to watch more anyhow

So the spring finals are set after Faze did Big dirty by letting them win their own map pick (they were actually laughing when they were down 14-2 at one point cause they knew what the next map was) and took them out in the final one 16-1.
Big players had their heads in their hands before the round was over. That was just pure embarrassment at this stage. Sp they will face Astralis for third.
Alot of movement for players to different teams as I noticed ropz on Faze and shox not on Vitality. Also nexa on OG.
Knew Team Liquid where having a roster overhaul as I think only Elige was left from the roster of last season.
Stewie2k and Grim had already been planning to leave for awhile now from disbanding late last year.

[rdbase]

Faze ended up winning the Blast Premier Spring series with OG following them.
Great tournament and looking forward to the one going on right now in the WePlay Academy finals:

With the WePlay finals wrapping up, there are still two matches going on today. The Intel Masters extreme is the next big tournament ready to go.
Here are the matches in the link below:

[STT]

IEM starting super early Tues.  Lots of singular maps which is not my preference or the pro players apparently but its a thing to sort the wheat from the chaff, usually no team can leave without playing bo3 first.
  Anyhow I just went with the favorites, bigger teams stacked them multibet to see if that works, bit risky not great but its a bet anyhow
Bad news bears I dont recognize the lineup especially or the enemy team so a watch maybe but not a bet for me.  3 maps perhaps cant guess.

[rdbase]

Intel Masters have indeed started and just caught the end of the newly organized OG team defeat RNG in a single map but going into OT.
Astralis looked to be done against MiBR down 11-7 but some how beat them 11-16 taking 9 rounds in a row.
Just amazing stuff early on for day 1 of the tournament!

Bets can be placed here for further matches during the tournament throughout the day:

Who is currently watching DPC CN 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Finals? The 4 teams qualified for the finals is all strong but LGD and RNG outstand the other 2 teams so it will be an easy money if you will bet on them on this tournament because Chinese dotes is always consistent especially if they are facing same country team since they have same play style and thinking. The match between old LGD roster that is now on RNG is very exciting to watch because Ame can finally prove that he is not the reason why they didn't get the TI champ on there twice attempt during OG reign.

I like the development of Ame with his current team mate but RNG team is strong team since they have the 3 original member of strong LGD before. Who do you think will win on this tournament?
