Team Liquid started struggling in the first map but was able to put things together and they end up winning the map. I thought they would lose this map. They are heavily favored in this match and your bet looks good on paper. I also think that they could take this 2-0, but I am now doubtful because of that first map. They are making too many mistakes and if this carries to map 2, Movistar may take a map from them.

Anyway, let's see if Team Liquid will be more confident and composed on map 2.

I also thought they'll drop the first map but good thing they're able to take over in the second half.

Then in the second map, it was like the sides have been flipped, close game but not enough for Team Liquid to win as they started off great in the first half then slowly lose momentum in the near end of the half which gave Movistar enough opportunity to take their map pick.

I had team liquid to win too but picked under 2.5 maps on a betslip that won all others except for this one. 4 matches @11.86x to win 0.05btc and it all came down to this match.
Think I saw Furia winning their match 11-1 earlier today so turned it off. Team Liquid is a side to not bet on winning all the time.

[rdbase]

Who else saw Team Liquid losing to Eternal Fire too?
Had them to win but didn't see them grabbing both maps to make it a 2-0 win.
If you even took them to win the match then you had good odds at over 4.30x

Was a close match for Faze yesterday against Complexity but they managed to pull one out of the fire and win it.

Today we have two matches: Furia vs Outsiders and Navi vs Heroic

Today we have two matches: Furia vs Outsiders and Navi vs Heroic

I missed out on Furia vs Outsiders as they're currently on the third map but i'm hoping FURIA comes out on top so we'd get an interesting matchup against Vitality.

For the Navi vs Heroic series, I got the map 1 -2.5 handicap @1.8 and I assume Navi will take the first map pick since they're the lower seed and I hope Navi has already shaken off that cold streak from the group stages, and if not we might see a much tighter series.

[rdbase]

That Navi match was a long one and just finished a few minutes ago.
Both maps ended 16-4 for each side but the last and final map took over 4 hours to complete due to a technical issue not allowing the other players to play except for s1mple at first.

Then after they corrected the issue the exact same thing happened except not allowing s1mple to play correctly.

Yeah, I didn't think Furia would of dropped off due to Outsiders but they will go on to the quarter finals.

[ralle14]

My bet lost thanks to Navi's slow start going down 9-1 at the start before recovering midway through the first half 9-6 then dropped more rounds in the second half to give Heroic 14 rounds before closing their map pick with a win.

The tech pause was unexpectedly long and it felt like they were about to postpone the series. Maybe that guy who's trying to take over the accounts of the Navi players has some money going on the side of Heroic.

Also i've prepared this League multi since the Worlds 2022 Play-ins is scheduled to start in a few hours.

Congratulations on your win ralle14 once again!

That league bet on Mad Lions and Beyond gaming matches did pay out nicely for you!

I had a betslip yesterday on the quarter-finals for ESL Pro league 16 on the Navi vs G2 match and glad I went with my gut and just bet on the rounds for map 1 instead of an all out winner. G2 being the underdogs won in b03 at the end of it.
The announcers of the match did say from the very start that the player HooXi was a giga chad during this whole entire tournament.
And he did not disappoint for this newly formed G2 squad.
Mighty impressive for taking out a hard Navi team.

Thanks, I also had a bet on that series but I only had G2 map 2 since I was expecting it to be their map pick, and good thing it went as expected. This refreshed G2 roster is indeed impressive so far while Navi is still having a bit of an issue with their stand-in player sdy and hopefully they'd improve once the Rio major starts.

I got another parlay ready to go with G2 and mixed it with a bunch of Worlds games just to boost the odds a bit since most of the favorites have been hitting so far.

[rdbase]

G2 ruined both our best today in the tournament.
Team Vitality had their way with them in map 2 taking 11 rounds in a row and then sending them out in OT.
Crazy thing to witness at this ranking of CS GO by a tier 1 team.
Think it was 12-3 at one point in the map as I had them at 1.06x odds to take just that map and that betslip lost.

Too bad G2 lost really badly in their match against Vitality. 8-16 on their first map and 16-19 on the second map.  I think they could have won if they closed the second map. they have a huge lead, 15-7, I think, but was not able to close it. Like the others are saying in the other thread, they choked really badly. Not the one you want to see on a top-tier team. 

So there goes your parlay. Better luck next time.

Anybody manage to catch the grand finals yesterday for ESL Pro league season 16?
It went the distance so I didn't get to the end of it while it was tied 2-2 for each side.
Then I was off for the rest of the night. I think Team Liquid won it last time I checked in on hltv.

Vitality won the Finals yesterday. They have a big early lead against team liquid. Liquid tried to crawl back into the game forcing Vitality to an eco round. That was a very crucial moment in the match. Have Liquid won that round, they could have turned everything around against Vitality. But Vitality was able to win the eco round with a pair of deagle and an msg which put Liquid in a very deep disadvantage. Vitality never looked back and won the Championship.

[ralle14]

Looking forward to some top-tier League later since today's the first day of the Worlds group stage.

As usual, i've made a multi between Cloud9, Damwon, JDG, and Gen G, with a total odds of 3.50. These LPL and LCK teams should get their first win since they have favorable matchups while the Cloud9-Fnatic match will probably be close but I still think Cloud9 wins it since some of their players have been to Worlds before and they already saw how Fnatic perform throughout the playins.

[rdbase]

^^
Going to put a small wager on these bets you made for that acca later on since the first match doesn't start until 7 hours from now.
They look like fine selections @ralle14 !

Also forgot that Road to Rio in Counterstrike started a few days ago and had put some bets when it began.
Some one map matches but most of the ones yesterday were best of 3.
They can be wagered on here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/esea-cs-go/iem-road-to-rio/matches

Alot of matches to choose from as tier 2 teams are included in this tournament.

It is good to see a bet with the Fnatic we know how they really hard fought for their slot for the International and at the same time the EG it is timeless they have a good draft but with bulba same draft for abed does not give other opportunity to abed to get and show more with his skills most often rotate with the draft if Storm, Ember and Invoker hoping they will make some changes for unique drafts.

I was also betting on those RMR matches but i've been having a bad run so far though (my record is currently at 4-8) and a lot of the top teams have been losing games against tier 2 teams.

Eventually, I had to switch back to League since i've had better results there and at the same time I might include a Dota pick once in a while since their Last Chance Qualifiers are about to start tomorrow.

Unfortunately, that ticket of mine was from League and not Dota since I was planning to wait for the TI to start. We also saw Abed's Puck appear in the last major so their drafting improved a bit but it's still far from perfect since they've failed to bring good results when competing in the major tournaments.

The Internationals are very interesting to watch. Caught the beginning of Team Liquid up against Vici gaming earlier. Team Liquid were down first round and were 2.55x odds but came storming back to win the match 2-1.

Very exciting for DOTA2 fans for certain with The Internationals kicking off!
And didn't know the VG match which I was talking about caused so much controversy. That should stir up some boiling point in some of the players during the tournament.

As for the teams that I think will win - I put Psg-ld to win their first match tonight.
But for the tournament I think Team Spirit to go far into the later brackets.

Here is are the matches which start it all off in about 2.5 hours from now:
