For some reason i'm liking both LPL favorites but at the same time JDG seems like a trap.

Anyway, i'll go with TOP Esports to win the first map @1.76 they'll be facing BLG today and the reason why I like them over BLG is because of their playstyle which is a bit aggressive while BLG is more on the reactionary side as they shine when teams start to overextend or make careless mistakes. Also, TOP is on a 4 win streak and in all those 4 wins they've won the first map.

New patch on Dota2 gives a major draw back on some power house team like Psg.LGD. They are already eliminated to 5th - 6th place on th current BTS series CN by RNG and Team Magma even though this 2 team never beat LGD during DPC tournaments before the patch introduced. I believe they are still experimenting there new strategy since there old strats is not suitable anymore on new patch. I can’t to see more techies meta on the upcoming tournament. 

It's always like that.

Whenever there's a new patch, whoever gets the advantage are those who have understood the weakness and strength of the changes. But wait until the next month or two, these power house teams will go back and regain their strength.

This is why I like every single new patch that comes out. A lot of strategies are coming out freshly while the older ones becomes obsolete and weaker and still a few becomes effective and stays.

Well...a new patch in DOta2 is always a tricky one and some teams are having difficulties to make good strategies or simply understand the patch notes. I do hope that this patch will bring the new TSM team to life as I really love how this new NA teams plays and also FLY as a strategy , this team has everything.

Agreed, Some of them are reserving there strategies for majors and DPC tournaments like what happened to Team Spirit and LGD last year. Team Spirit is just better on the last year patch during TI that's they beat the power house LGD that time because LGD already show all there card on the preliminary matches of TI. I believe the new hero will be the current meta on the majors and we might see revamped heroes as carries.

I have high hopes on LGD but I will definitely avoid them on sports betting on matches in low tier tournament. They definitely not giving 100% of there best on there recent matches.

There's still more time for the new hero to get on the meta but I'm sure that all of them are practicing it already. I'm a fan of LGD and I really think that they're the strongest on their region and is a top contender in world rankings.

But anyway, there's the Gamers Galaxy tournament that has been setup by Galaxy Racer so their two teams are invited on this event together with 8 other teams which is about to start within a few hours.

That Broken Techies though!

When it comes to powerhouse team then i do always expect LGD isnt something that could be beaten down but with those recent patches then it do really make out
some heavy effects on overall execution of gameplays which there would be no choice but to adapt and make out some adjustments.
Several heroes skills been changed up too specially on that Rubick aghs 2 ulti spell steal. lol

You mean this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtnebO2aBM0
You should also look for Huskar as well on which it does have that berserkers blood granting him now 25% magic resistance and speaking with new hero primal beast is something too OP since it is very tanky and good
damager as well.Good for initiating even though its winning rate is 40%+ as of this moment.

I missed the good old days on Dota 1 when Huskar Aghs can give him almost 100% spell immunity when his life drops on a certain percentage. Primal beast is indeed OP same as Dawn Breaker when it was introduced during pre TI patch. Many teams used it due its global presence and tankiness which is perfect for carry on a early to mid game level. I believe those OP revamped hero like Rubick with 2 ulti spell will be auto ban on every match on the upcoming tournament. Remember how annoying a single hero can copy and use to ulti skill at the same time while enemy is highly dependent on it.

Oh men thank you forsharing, I’m not aware on this tournament but they surely invite all the hottest team in both EU and SEA. I’m a fan of new Boom esports roster and I’m excited to watch them playing against power house teams. All invited teams are all strong and very hard to predict because of the new patch update. I’m sure we will see good matches and not one sided fight compared on previous Dota tounament especially on CN region.

I wonder why they didn't invite any single team from CN and NA?

You're welcome.

Boom Esports is no doubt a stronger team this time with a better roster players, they're all experienced and they all clicked as a team. And about your question. It's probably because these teams are the prospects and preference of galaxy racer.

It's their tournament and they have the authority to invite and not to invite those teams that they like and dislike. By the way, Boom has already advanced to the upper bracket in the playoffs.

[ralle14]

Another banger matchup is scheduled today as T1 vs Gen G will start in a few hours but this might end being a one-sided match as Gen G won't be playing with Ruler (their main ADC) as he's tested positive for COVID.

With that said, T1 -1.5 or to win 2-0 @1.81 is a solid pick at this point given their form and they're on pace to go undefeated if it goes as expected since Gen G is the only team that could give them a good run for their money if you watched their last meeting in the first half of the split.

Gamers Galaxy tournament is in full sing with the Inv. Playoffs already going on with Boom Epsorts up against Tundra Esports.
And just as Sunsilk had mentioned before, they are the stronger side in this match up.

It is a big tournament being played in Dubai.
You can bet on the remaining matches today here:

Tough to see, the players of Navi have family actively hiding in war torn cities.   Tragic they could not flee in time and now are trapped as captives vs bombing campaigns.   Russia of course can win with its giant advantage while also becoming war criminals from destroying the people of that nation, it seems they are determined to carry on without any actual point or profit from doing so.
  As such it seems quite relevant to avoid any matches while the players are unable to play or practice properly when so distracted in the potential death and injury of their closest relatives, very sad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P11iR4rotTI

Those players should focus more on their safety and think about playing online later on, that’s their top priority for now and its really beyond of our controls. NAVI already cut their ties with Russian partners, this can be big but then again its hard for those players to play while thinking about their family. The upcoming season might be different now considering that other teams can’t compete because of this war.

The tournament is about to end tomorrow and there are 3 teams left and that's likely two matches left. Boom.rivalry is about to face Nigma that just lost to Tundra Esports. They're both at the lower bracket and that's the last match for the lower bracket.

And whoever losses the match is going to go home placing 3rd with a prize of $32k.

And whoever wins, is secured for 2nd place and is going to face Tundra at the finals. All of this are going to in one day, it's the last day.

[ralle14]

Going with an underdog for today as I like Ultra Prime +1.5 @2.28 (boosted odds), V5 got swept in their last match against JDG and the same thing goes for Ultra Prime. The one thing I like about this pick is that Ultra Prime doesn't always get swept, out of the 11 series they've played so far only 3 series ended in a 2-0 loss and V5 has the tendency to lost maps as they dropped one against LGD.

Also might smash the over 3.5 on the Gamers Galaxy grand finals as I think it's more likely for the series to go 3-1 for any team.

That's exactly why DOTA 2 is still one of the most popular online games these days especially in South East Asia regions, you can always see a lot of gamers playing DOTA 2 with different age brackets. Bringing a new patch or updates makes the game more interesting as there will be some new twist of items/skills or combo than can defy stronger heroes before the patch.
I used to play this game way back when it is just DOTA 1 until it became DOTA2 and that was when I'm still studying but now, I can only afford to watch livestreams when I have some time because I have a lot more things to do than playing.

I thought before that updates were useless and not needed but I've come to understand that it's one important feature and factor when we play.

It adds up to the strategy that we're coming up so that everyone is going to build new meta and strategies from those updates and changes that has been made.

By the way, Gamers Galaxy champ is Boom Esports.

Just seen the video on youtube of the win for Gamers Galaxy championship in Dubai and it was indeed Boom Esports.
Thanks Sunsilk for the update.
Here is the video for those who want to watch the grand final match as it was skimmed down a bit for time:

Nine teams competed for a share of a 1 million Emirati dirham prize pool. Finally Boom eSports won the Gamers Galaxy Championship. Tundra turned to be the runner up. It was a close match with a agression from Tundra at the beginning and the same is taken credit by the Boom eSports at the end. Also from the beginning of the championship there is no prediction about Boom eSports winning it against the European based teams. Now Philippines based Boom eSports have made the prediction wrong. Earlier Boom lost to Tundra in the first stage which is also a reason for massive support for Tundra.

It was really a close one because they're able to put the series up to 5 games. It's always like that for the finals and only a few teams were able to managed to play straight 3 games win IIRC.

Now Philippines based Boom eSports have made the prediction wrong. Earlier Boom lost to Tundra in the first stage which is also a reason for massive support for Tundra.

Boom isn't a PH-based team. Its manager and 3 players are Filipinos but it doesn't mean that they're a PH-based team. Based on liquipedia, they're an Indonesian based esports organization: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/BOOM_Esports

[STT]

Cant see much near term CS games but I think theres time to make a multi bet on larger matches forthcoming.  

So Nip over Fnatic, recent history is better for them.  I was sad to see Smooya fail to capitalize with this team apparently it didnt mix well enough for them.
Mouz over Entropiq against better history and they already won once vs them
Then easiest choice is G2 over the Aussie team should occur in G2 favour 90% of the time  (The odds I see are 99% roughly, thats really bad value might have to skip it)

Yep, Boom Esports is former Boom ID they rebrand to accept international players to improve there roster. But they only become famous internationally during this current roster. The organization is based on Indonesia but most of there players is playing in the Philippines so technically they are indeed currently located in the PH since most of there players and supporters is here.

It usually depends because most of the time they're just fixing some bugs or sometimes upgrading some graphics on the map, just some minor adjustments that needs update so that gameplay will be more smooth to the players.
But the most important ones are those who got some upgrade on skills or items, so if you didn't play just a day or two after the patch then you're more likely getting bullied in the game until you adjusted to it.

They deserved to be the champion, and they got a revenge for the Tundra for dropping them in the lower bracket.
