Allince simply cannot win games in Dota2 anymore. Currently playing against GoonSquad ( who are ex alliance players ) and they are down 1 map and 2nd map doesn't look good for them either as I smell a quick 2-0 victory for Goonsquad.

Yup, Alliance are just outclassed by every team in the first division and at this point, they're guaranteed to go down to the second division as they'll be facing OG, Gladiators, and Entity in their last three series.

I dont really have
any doubts with TS but they do suck on previous Major.  

I agree they're still dominating in their region but I think it's somewhat expected that they couldn't keep up when they suddenly face teams coming from the other regions that make use of different strategies.

NaVi did it again on Dota 2 as they cameback from 1-0 and win by 2-1 at the end.

With this win , they are qualified to the next major and I'm curious how they will perform as it's been a lot since NaVi been to a major with a good squad to go for at least semi-finals and try to get as much points they could for TI chances as they still have chances.

Currently, they've got the highest point and yeah, with 2 remaining matches. This already made them qualified and secured slot for the upcoming Arlington major.

With another secured slot is for Team Spirit.

But with one remaining slot, since 3 slots for their region. There's still too many things that can happen for all of those teams close to the 3rd rank for the remaining 2 weeks.

Hoping to see IG get a map later as they face LNG in the LPL. IG is currently 1-5 but they've been taking maps against decent teams like EDG and Weibo.

LNG, on the other hand, is sitting at 4-2 but they're looking like a mid-table team as their results have been rough last week dropping a map against LGD and losing 2-0 against TES.

Intel Extreme Masters is happening July 5-August 31st and just only noticed it with Imperial eSportsbet.io taking the stage earlier today in their matchups.
One win against Order and another lost in the play-in with Outsiders.

Here is where you can bet on their next match continuing on tomorrow:

Lost this pick as LNG kept a clean series and they played much cleaner with their sub support (Iwandy).

I already got this two-leg multi later today for the LCK games, Damwon and Sandbox to both win their matches @1.86. I think it's worth taking as both teams looked great so far, both Damwon and DRX have the same record but Damwon has the tougher match-ups so far as their two losses came from the top 2 best teams of the region. Sandbox are putting up solid results so far and didn't expect them to take down DRX so I don't think it'll be an issue for them to go down against one of the weaker teams which is Hanwha.

Lots of reverse in the last days as Secret came from 1-0 and won , Entity came yesterday from 1-0 and won by 2-1 and now it seems TNC Predator are doing the same after they were down 1 map against Atalntis then managed to win the second and now the third one should be decisive.

For now , I will wait for T1 vs BOOM as that should be a 3 way series in my opinion.

[rdbase]

Looking good for the League today guys. Keep up the nice predictions.

I think I'll keep to what I know and that has been in CS:Go.
So just put in a bet on the first match along with two more following for IEM for my day:

Will see how this pans out then put a bit on the next Imperial match later on in the tournament.
Have a feeling they will go far with their really good game play early on in the masters.

How is CS:GO lately in betting ? I'm watching Team Spirit vs Team Liquid as I'm typing this message.

I only bet on Dota2 because I also play the game from time to time and follow the meta heroes but on CS:GO there are new talents rising in different teams and it's hard to keep up the pace.  Unfortunately , it went bad for me in dota2 today as Team Empire lost against Cybercats and lost my ticket as well .

Another losing pick, DRX had the better coordination and draft when it went to the third map, they were able to control the pace of the game and manage to get favorable team fights.

I think I'll keep to what I know and that has been in CS:Go.
So just put in a bet on the first match along with two more following for IEM for my day:

I didn't have any picks on the IEM matches earlier but I did watch some of the matches. Unexpected to see G2 go down 2-0 against Movistar Riders, I thought it'll go to a third map but Movistar Riders seem to have kept their momentum going from the play-ins. NiP is off to a good start as well after taking down Heroic 2-0 and I think their map pick went in favor of NiP as they have the better win rate on Ancient.

[Peanutswar]

For now , I will wait for T1 vs BOOM as that should be a 3 way series in my opinion.

I didn't bet with this game because its too much risky we know how does the T1 and Boom really conquer the DPC and their drafting it is like they are the top of the SEA server, but still the Boom manage to win the series of 2-0 because of the very good drafting at the same time is the kotl strategy with ember in the game 1 which is really annoying in the part of the T1 because they are all physical damage, with the game two it is all about the tims counter initiation with the ultimate skills steal from the Warlock that way towards their victory of the game.

[boltz]

There are no great games in Dota2 today so I think it's better to skip this day but if you want to bet on some Esports , CS:GO is the best place right now as in 20 minutes we have NIP vs Na'Vi and Na'Vi shoud make this an easy 2-0 right ? They still have Simpe right ? The best cs:go player and sniper in the world so that should bring a big advantage to Na'Vi team.

IEM seem to be very underdog tournament as Movistar riders are winning each and every single one of their matches when I decide to bet against them.
I think G2 dropped another one yesterday and Team Vitality are very disappointing to watch even when they do manage to scrap along a win.
But that is how CS GO is.. you win some then you lose the easiest matches on paper later.

Yup, some of the top teams are underperforming and on top of this two of the top ten teams (ENCE and Heroic) are the first two teams to get eliminated from the groups.

I'm going for some League later as i'm liking Victory Five @1.61 vs EDG, Victory Five is currently 7-0 and it looks like they're not going to lose any time soon now that they've got Rookie back in the lineup. EDG on the other hand are sitting 5-2 and their two losses came from OMG and JDG. Even though EDG is still a good team it still feels like their performance hasn't improved.

Congratulations on the solid 2-0 win by V5 for that bet you made.
I was watching on a sportschat the players who had bets on them as well and they screamed when they won it without contest.
I checked the odds and they were still 1.90x at map2 even though they had already won the first map.
Found that strange because I remember you got them at 1.61x even before the match started.

[ralle14]

Congratulations on the solid 2-0 win by V5 for that bet you made.

Thanks   you're lucky to catch their map 2 @1.9, when I double-dipped on map 2 their odds were already down to 1.65.

I got another one later and it's LGD+1.5 @1.61 vs BLG, LGD is capable of taking maps against decent teams and BLG is a bit overrated so far this split (stacked roster but failing to produce good results) given the current odds from the bookies. BLG is expected to win but I see this series as a 60-40 after BLG lost to a weaker team like TT.

Edit: Another win as LGD takes the first map against BLG.

ralle14 on another roll for league play once more.
So I would suggest those who are new to that genre to follow his tips when he offers them to get into the action.

Speaking of IEM, I got a small multi going between Astralis and Movistar Riders to take at least a map.

Both series seem like a toss-up that's why I just went with the +1.5 handicap so the odds are low but I think these two have the best chance at taking a map and possibly a series win since they looked great since the start of the playins.

Good betslip and those teams won their matches 2-1. Excellent call on the handicap for the favorites.
Movistar riders seem to be going to the finals because so far from what I've seen of their play they have sharp all tournament long.
So they are the ones I would put to be winning the IEM in the finals on Sunday.

Thanks and the good thing Sportsbet was offering handicaps on the favorites since it's rare to find alternative handicaps on esports.  

Unfortunately, they got swept by Faze earlier today, but still reaching this far already says a lot for them given that most of the top teams got eliminated early and hopefully they'll continue to maintain that level of play in future LAN events.

Going back for some League as I got this Damwon -1.5 ticket for later, Brion is one of the weakest teams in the league and Damwon have been sweeping weaker teams, this should be another 2-0 on the side of Damwon.
