The OG vs Ooredoo Thunder series was the juiciest series today, specifically that third map as I thought Ooredoo's AM would have a free game because they're always on Yuragi's drow whenever a team fight is about to start

I saw that match and it's been really talked about since after the match ended. The third map/game has broken everyone's thought that Ooredoo Thunders will be going to the Berlin major. That moment was great and yuragi's decision making was on point together with the actions of his teammates.

but all it takes is one good opportunity where the drow can dish out several hits in a row to bring the game back on their side. I can't find any clip so here's a timestamp from one of the VODs posted on youtube.

That was the most perfect opportunity for them to come back and win the series. It was so close for Ooredoo Thunders, we want to see new faces in the upcoming majors but I guess that it's not going to take a long time until we see them in an actual.

Imperial Esports is #5 on the list of teams who will battle each other for a shot at the Blast.TV title.

The same goes for the EU and APAC regions, there's too many matches scheduled at the same time so I just went with the teams that i'm familiar with and mixed them in a multi.

Imperial Esports should get their first win on their opening match as they'll go up against EG who shouldn't be here in the tournament if it weren't for Detonate pulling out as they couldn't find a replacement for one of their players.

That was the most perfect opportunity for them to come back and win the series. It was so close for Ooredoo Thunders, we want to see new faces in the upcoming majors but I guess that it's not going to take a long time until we see them in an actual.

It would've been great to see Ooredoo Thunders in the major but still we'll be seeing new teams from the other regions as well.

This Malta Pinnacle Cup is really good to watch!



Took this bet on first map against Monaspa because yesterday they 2-0 BetBoom ...a team who is mega highly rated in Dota2 teams profiles and more than this , BetBoom are still looking to perform well in official tournaments and it seems Malta is not for them either.

D2 Hustlers are a very grindy team who loves to just farm , push towers in and play defense. They also have Void , the ultra carry late hero.

I'd love to watch these matches on Maltavibes - Pinnacle Cup but I'm not in the good area as of the moment. Anyway, there's gonna be some replay that I can watch later on. But looking at the score cards, Monaspa takes the first map.

I'm tuning in with the Division 2 matches and they're where people are interested to watch on because there goes Team Secret and Old G.

I recognize BetBoom as a strong team. Btw, have you noticed the name of ramzes' team named "EX-HR?" The roster have been dropped by the org and said they'll no longer be able to support their Dota 2 team. Well, everytime ramzes jumps into a new team, it dissolves.

[Peanutswar]

An unexpected team created by the Old OG have a good run here in the DPC WEU Spring and they dominated the game really bad, they didn't pick the necessary draft instead they created a new kind of meta draft, the match of OLD G vs In the breach, ITB have a good drafting but topson makes a new way to get into mid and sustain their fast game, Topson for aghanims healing and burst damage Oracle plus with the sustain of abadon and rat strategy of NP seems like a dirty strategy, in the game 2 the ITB makes desperate they draft techies and the TB just to win the game but instead they still lose with the Topson Snap and NP carry of Reso.

It wasn't an unexpected team but they have done it even before IIRC but they didn't find any success. OG itself did also made an OG seed team but disbanded after not getting success.  While on the last TI, played along side with a SEA team together with ana but also didn't found success.

At least on this OLD G, they are enjoying and having a good run on their division 2 journey going to division 1. As Ceb even said, it is even tougher to deal with division 2 teams than div 1.

Players that are on this roster are open to explore a huge hero pool and no pressure on each them. I think it is always Ceb that gives a lot of value to the team and those unorthodox strategies that Topson does like Oracle mid, I saw that when he was still with T1 but wasn't effective and that was because his former teammates and executions.

On their match with ITB, having that oracle and abaddon heroes. Topson was brilliant thinking of unli sustain with Oracle.

I also thought BetBoom is strong but they're starting to look overrated when they can't produce the best results despite having the best players in every role.

From what I've heard why HR dropped them it's because the org wasn't actually in charge of the dota roster and on top of that some teams including TSM are likely to release their teams so that means the dota squad is most likely included even though they're finding success in the NA DPC. Anyway, it's only a matter of time until another org picks these two up since both of them finished first place in their region.

Yeah, it's better to have some org on their back so that they won't be problematic about expenses and they can just focus on games. That's the reason why many teams and players want to be in an org because they carry most expenses and at the same time, they all have got the resources.

Anyway, have you seen the video that Ame cried in Somnus and telling sorry that he failed him to win TI8 because his morph was "noob" as he said? Ame still thinking of that and haven't moved on yet all of these times, now I understand why Ame is like after all of those years.

It had given him sort of traumatic experience. How I wish that they've won a TI.

I did see that clip earlier today and to be fair he was drunk when that happened so it was understandable, but it does feel bad when you look back at that moment since they were so good during that time yet they fumbled at the final hurdle.

I also want to see them win a TI but I think it'll never happen or there's a little chance they'd go back because now they're likely earning more money through streaming.

On the Paris Major, Imperial lost their opener against EG which is unfortunate as they can't fight for the Legend status after that loss and now they'll need to win every series if they plan to qualify as their RMR only consists of 4 rounds.

It was a horrifying experience for him that he's still bringing it until now. Yeah, he may be drunk but I think the thought of his that he's thinking that he failed somnus and his whole team is still ticking on his mind.

I also want to see them win a TI but I think it'll never happen or there's a little chance they'd go back because now they're likely earning more money through streaming.

Yeah, it won't happen anymore. Somnus has retired, so just as ame and then the rest of the original PSG.LGD roster during TI8, together with fy.

Well who knows if these players will still play for some fun and accidentally manages to get a spot on the division 1 and then road to TI. Just a fun thought but yes, it's more unlikely to happen.

Just like what the OLD G is doing? Though OLD G is still young and still very competitive. Maybe we will only see them play together in exhibition matches but I do not think we will see them in any DPC tournaments. They retired for a reason and they already have a good run.

AME's loss in TI8 was a good run and they lost to a team who will eventually win TI back-to-back so he should not be ashamed of it or regret what happened. They were outplayed by the humble god and Topson but they gave the fans very memorable TI matches. I still get hyped whenever I replay the games in their final match against OG.

We can only hope their fire for playing competitively comes back sometime in the future because those pro players who retired in the CN region already have successful streaming careers. It is also slowly becoming a trend in other esports titles like Valorant and League where some pro players would switch to streaming as they can gain more income there compared to competing at tournaments.

Also, ATF recently got moved to the inactive roster of Nigma Galaxy and Miracle is standing in for the DreamLeague tournament.

OLD G is currently playing on the division 2 and is on their way to the division if ever they'll be ending up 1st or 2nd on this WEU DPC tour. There are still a lot of matches for them awaiting to be played and I'm optimistic that they'll take one slot to division 1.

As for me Ame, it's like an honor that he was beaten by back to back TI champs. But being 2nd and not able to get the actual TI title is still frustrating when he's almost there but fell and short of glory.

I also still watches some highlights of those replays but Ame just have it on his heavy heart and mind and didn't know that he's bringing it up until he has said it for a long time.

Even though Imperial is out of the major but at least we'll be seeing them compete in the IEM Rio that will kick off within a few days from now.

Imperial is taking VP's spot in the tournament and the reason why VP withdrew is that they'd prefer to focus on training the players.

^^
This is surprising news for Imperial Esports for their chance to win a major in their own home country of Rio once again.
Wishing Sportsbet.io sponsored team all the best in this tournament less than a week away.

Just watching the Blast.TV in Paris happening right now and it is looking like Vitality is really taking it to G2 the favorites to win. While Ence took the first map against Cloud 9.

Makes it for an interesting bracket weekend as this Europe RMR closes out the 15th.

EMEA Masters tournament has been continuing on League of Legends. There could have been three Turkish teams here if SUP were able perform a little better in the qualifiers for the group stage. The team chemistry wasn't good and they couldn't make it. There were still two more Turkish teams like IW and FUT. IW were the most promising team between them to even go for the championship here.

They are the champions of the latest season in the TCL. And they didn't surprise us by losing only once in their group matches and finishing it as the leader. But FUT weren't as good as them unfortunately. They were just horrible on the second match day by losing all of their matches. This led them to finish as 3rd and be out of the tournament.

I really admire the team chemistry of IW now. Especially BAO is a really skilled bot laner and he can make a big impact in the playoffs as well. Hopefully IW can do a good job in the playoffs.

The current matchups in knockouts are like in the picture below:

Believe or not , Tundra has once again found a way to broke the meta lately and they are in a very good shape with proven fact today with another 2-0 victory against OG. Now , I don't know if benching saksa is the key of this lately winning streak or is it once again AUI2000 who proves to be the best coach but this Tundra team is rolling and Berlin Major should bring them closer to a trophy because they won TI and usually every team tends to win a major in next year and Tundra still needs that.

Unfortunately, it won't last for long since we're only a few days away from the major patch release but I hope we'll see some magic and surprise during the Berlin Major. 

And Gaimin Gladiators with one of the quickest series earlier as they forced TSM to tap out 24 mins in game 1 then 12 mins in game 2 plus Quinn dominated the mid matchup on both games.

If anyone has been following the Intel Masters in Rio there were some predictable matches played yesterday.
All the favorites won, atleast the ones I had on my parlays during these best of one matches.

Today we have the lower brackets being played with Fnatic taking on 9z and Team Vitality vs MiBR. These are B03 maps.
