Going back with Dota 2, I've watched the Blacklist versus Virtus Pro match. That one very moment on the mid side. On the first map, that pango of Abed and Luna of Palos.

After Palos' luna died with an aegis, he's about to be dead as well but Abed transferred the cheese on him and then the rest is history.

What a play by Abed.

It's good to see them beat VP in a 2-0 sweep and they're slightly improving. We'll see if they have what it takes to catch up with the tougher teams now that the weaker ones are eliminated.

Also, that Swiss stage was great, I hope other tournaments can adapt the format in the future as it was more fun to watch than these upcoming bo2 formats knowing that most of these series would be 1-1s.

[sunsilk]

Surprisingly, Team Spirit was beaten by Heroic. Our 2-time TI champs have been beaten by the SA team, Heroic. Should I say not surprising since I am a fan of K1 Hector who's the position 1 of this team.

On the other bracket which is the B side, Aurora has beaten their co-SEA team Blacklist without even 23savage but their stand-in, the child prodigy satanic is doing it.

He's a good one honestly and I think after this tournament, there will be some teams that's going to take him as everyone is going to focus again in gaining EPT points for the TI 2024.

[milewilda]

Talking about Group B Team Aurora, im just amazed with that stand-in player King on how he do play that pos 1 on which i could say that this kid is much better than savage but well this is just my opinion.

When it comes to execution of skills and when it comes to farming and carry/core impact then you could really say that it is really have that kind of connections when it comes to skill executions and timing
but well its just a stand in but he did really well into this one. On the recent game against Liquid and BB then its an easy 2-0 game for Liquid. Boxi is really good with that techies pick
but well this is really just that still on roundrobin stage on which there's still so much things that could happen.

First time I've seen this format in dota2 iirc and yeah it seems we are now pretty similar to how cs2 tournament works huh. There are various of 1M prizepool tournament just like in cs2 and now swiss stage as well, pretty interesting but too bad Nigma Galaxy didnt make it

Anyway, I made a bet on Falcons to win for 1.65 and Im kinda regretting it now lol. The risk reward ratio isnt that great afterall but its Falcons though so they should be able to win easily

It's impressive that they beat Team Spirit in the second map with a position 1 Troll. I thought it'd go 1-1 thinking Troll wouldn't become a problem as he can be easily kited during his ult.

That SEA matchup was expected to go in the way of Aurora even without 23, and it looked like a complete outdraft on their side as Blacklist only had 14 kills in total.

It's still too early to tell when this was only his second series with Aurora, but it'll be interesting to follow their other series once they start meeting the scarier teams.

Yeah, it's rarely used in Dota because TI always makes use of the bo2 format.

But then, they've been beaten by Aurora 2-0 too.

It looks cool honestly and that's really an ideal for giving to the fans and making it more competitive of whoever is going to last with such durability in the long run with this kind of set up.

[passwordnow]

Here is the recap of matches that we've got for this day. The scores are still irrelevant since there are still a lot of days remaining, I'll include them soon when there will be teams that are already eliminated. Some teams have already played twice and the others will be playing twice as well in the next upcoming days and this is frigging a lot of games seriously and to be honest, this is what the fans like for the tournaments like this in the tier 1 category. I just feel bad for BetBoom as they've got 2 series = 4 matches and with all of that, they won nothing so 0-4, clean.

It looks like the teams prepared for them after their successful run at DreamLeague and Team Liquid's series win was probably one of the fastest with both maps ending in less than 30 minutes.

Despite the awful start, their schedule should get easier now that they're done facing two of the potential best teams in the group.

It looks cool honestly and that's really an ideal for giving to the fans and making it more competitive of whoever is going to last with such durability in the long run with this kind of set up.

And what makes it interesting is how luck becomes a factor because the teams are randomly matched in the next round.

-snip-

Swiss stage gives us a lot more games in one single day without teams having to get tired and still play a decent amount of games and practicing a lot along the way. It's a good tournament format that also provides viewers and gamblers like us to make some money and examine how each teams are doing. I'm not sure if this will carry over in Dota 2 but heck, it would be great if it would.

As for Nigma Galaxy, I never really expected from them anymore until they have kuroky playing on the team. He's not like Puppey who can still play effectively and devise plans and strats on the fly. I can say that I'm a hater of kuroky at this point, but that's only because he's good only as a coach at this point and not a player anymore.

I agree, they're now going with some recovery wins on the upcoming days and I think that they're not going to let it pass. So, this is just a best of 2 for most of the games and this only means that whoever gets the most wins will be moving to the playoffs and those that don't get a lot of it will totally get eliminated. 8 teams will be eliminated once this round robin ends and I guess that they should be focusing each to the weakness of their opponents and no more pride picks like giving the best hero of one team. A respect ban is a must for most of them. And going back with one of the matches of BB against GG on their 2nd map, it's a crazy match and they've been just destroyed easily by GG through destroying their barracks. Heroes of GG weren't really good for late game but they're able to win and that DK of quinn was crazy and was like on a pills, BB was so close in winning the 2nd map but GG defended the tree and they just don't want to give up so they did won.

I can say that I'm a hater of kuroky at this point, but that's only because he's good only as a coach at this point and not a player anymore.

I agree, for Nigma Galaxy to thrive, they likely need a better captain, and maybe having a sixth player who can sub for Kuro wouldn't be a bad idea. I assume that's the best approach because I doubt he'll remove himself from the team he started.

I had to check the highlights of that second map, and the high-ground defense from GG was too strong with Enigma, Rubick, and DK spamming all their spells while BB barely had anything when it was their time to defend.

Ace's Enigma was clutch in the 5v5 engagements catching 1-2 core heroes every time he uses his ultimate.

Yeah, everyone did their job and with the help of seleri's IO. That DK became the actual carry and with attack speed and desolator on that IO, well, the towers and barracks have been broken too easy. Now, I am watching the first map of Blacklist and Tundra and it seems that this is going to be an easy first game for Tundra. The heroes of Tundra are way better because they've got meepo as their carry and chen and they're going to make this match end early. While for the Blacklist, they've got lifestealer as their carry and the other heroes doesn't seem to click to what they're planning, I guess that they've been outdrafted and Tundra is doing it right and have taken their heroes as well. As of typing this, the game is on the 17 minutes mark so there's still a lot to happen but in my analysis, Tundra has got the advantage based on their draft.

PS: Map 1 is done, what a game and that analysis of mine was good during the early game and despite that Blacklist proved that despite being outdrafted, they've won. Tundra wasn't able to end it as the defense of Blacklist at the top tier 3 tower was too strong. I think the momentum was when pure's meepo has been skewered on that tier 3 top tower and it snowballed.

[arallmuus]

Anyway, I made a bet on Falcons to win for 1.65 and Im kinda regretting it now lol. The risk reward ratio isnt that great afterall but its Falcons though so they should be able to win easily

I cant actually believe that I hit a winner with Falcons to win but yeah its falcons and we all know how dominating they are. Its like watching the old GG dominate the pro scene all over, bet -1.5 and you will win most of the time

I agree, for Nigma Galaxy to thrive, they likely need a better captain, and maybe having a sixth player who can sub for Kuro wouldn't be a bad idea. I assume that's the best approach because I doubt he'll remove himself from the team he started

The best move that they could have right now is to start everything out from scratch. Miracle and Sumail might once be a top player but for now they are not that good, thats a fact. Totally love them but its pretty hard to watch them lose their lane almost every single game. They should have probably scrap off members off the other team once new season starts though

Anyway, AR 1-1 against G2.IG sounds like a good bet?

It's always great if you could always get them with decent odds, and watch the magic unfold like it's a normal day for them.

Anyway, AR 1-1 against G2.IG sounds like a good bet?

That sounds good enough, both of them are equally matched in terms of skill level and this only goes 2-0 if either side goes overboard in their draft.

Cs2 major just ended and we are already onto the next big CS LAN 

Iem chengdu is starting on monday , and its been a while since we had a big CS lan in asia, although some big teams like navi,spirit ,vitality are missing 

I hope some asian team does well, the matches are on perfect time to watch for us asians

Falcons is the new shit in the Dota scene. Their moves are buttery smooth, controls the map easily, and takes fights like they just know what the outcome is. They have some difficulties in the laning phase but they make up for it with a nice and very conservative mid game. It's fun to watch new teams dominate the scene that's being dominated and bossed around by a few oldheads and also bring new things in the table.

Surprisingly, Team Spirit was beaten by Heroic. Our 2-time TI champs have been beaten by the SA team, Heroic. Should I say not surprising since I am a fan of K1 Hector who's the position 1 of this team.

On the other bracket which is the B side, Aurora has beaten their co-SEA team Blacklist without even 23savage but their stand-in, the child prodigy satanic is doing it.

He's a good one honestly and I think after this tournament, there will be some teams that's going to take him as everyone is going to focus again in gaining EPT points for the TI 2024.

It's impressive that they beat Team Spirit in the second map with a position 1 Troll. I thought it'd go 1-1 thinking Troll wouldn't become a problem as he can be easily kited during his ult.

That SEA matchup was expected to go in the way of Aurora even without 23, and it looked like a complete outdraft on their side as Blacklist only had 14 kills in total.

It's still too early to tell when this was only his second series with Aurora, but it'll be interesting to follow their other series once they start meeting the scarier teams.

Speaking of 23, it's said that he's going to be back. And going with Team Spirit's performance, they've got 2 series for this day that were done already.

They've got 1-1 against Falcons and then 0-2 against Entity. I can say that Entity is doing well at the beginning of this round robin while Team Spirit is struggling.

4 days left until this stage ends and I guess that's enough for them to get more series wins.

[boltz]

Spirit is 0-3 in Elite League so far and last place in their group and I think some changes might happen within Team Spirit Dota 2 team and Miposha might take a break as he helped this team to reach the highest level of Dota not once but twice.

Today they lost the series against Entity after leading in both maps in networth but eventually Wattson showed us why he is the highest ranked player in Europe and why he is having 13k mmr just like 23savage.

Cs2 major just ended and we are already onto the next big CS LAN 

Iem chengdu is starting on monday , and its been a while since we had a big CS lan in asia, although some big teams like navi,spirit ,vitality are missing 

Those three missing teams could've been invited as a partner team, but maybe they turned it down because they prefer a longer break.

After the IEM Chengdu, there's only a 9-day break until another big tournament (ESL S19) starts.


Also, i'm taking a shot at Team Falcons to 2-0 Heroic @1.58. I like the odds on this one since Heroic already lost two of their three series to slightly weaker teams (against PSG.Quest and G2.IG).

Just started watching Elite League and noticed Team Falcons vs Heroic was a BO2 because it is round robin stage, so of course it ended 1-1.
They just started the match for the Team Spirit versus a team I had not heard of before G2.iG
This one might be the 2-0 match you were wanting it to be for the Falcons.
