Come on guys , is no one watching ESL Pro League at CS2 ? or the current first season of Wallachia PGL ? Both tournaments are Tier 1 and we have great teams playing in both tournaments.

Well its weekend and top football league is my main priority on weekend so yeah Its football night 

I got decent profit from betting on ESP pro league on round of 12 and quarterfinals so yeah Im probably going to bet another one for final tomorrow. Im going for Vitality despite whatever team they are facing on the final. Heck I'll even throw in -1.5 for Team Vitality tomorrow.

As for PGL Walachia, so far I havent made a single bet yet. Enjoying the game yesterday but pretty much going for the favourites is the real strategy to make some money on this event. Basically Falcons -1.5 seems like the best strategy ever on the group stage

@boltz
Been to busy enjoying the first weekend where I am where there is sun and it isn't raining, so no, didn't watch any of the PL matches.
Easier to watch every one of these tournaments each weekend in the winter when it's so cold to go out.
Once we get bored of the heat and sun tanning at the beach, then will catch the next one coming up!

@arallmuus
You did hella good in the ESL Pro League matches coming up to the Grand Finals today?
Think I saw your acca for the win of over @2.58x on a betslip via another site right?
Well congrats to you on unlocking the code to winning in these CS2 tournaments because I haven't yet and gave up in the last tournament trying too.

So today we have MOUZ vs Team Vitality in the ESL Pro League Grand Finals.
Who do you have winning? The favorites are Vitality but the odds don't look that great last I looked they were 1.35x

[boltz]

@rdbase

hope you had a great weekend loco and you've enjoyed it at 110%.  Now , I don't want to spoil it , but have you seen the Mouz performance at ESL finals ? 3-0 against Vitality and a massive and impressive performance from their entire team and a very deserved victory. Odds were also around 4 for Mouz to win but I decided to watch instead of betting.

This is quite shocking to hear actually. Especially from the heavy favorites not putting scratch to MOUZ.
They were the ones to take G2 out of the tournament from what I recall remember from your post on here earlier in the tournament. So they are the new misfit team to be the worldbeater in CS2 all the sudden?
What changed? Any shuffling in their roster or did they just get lucky like most one and done teams in these majors?

And yeah, enjoyed the weekend in the sun and well burned now. Thanks for asking.
Just waiting for one more football match then can see if I get a cash prize or a free bet of $50USDT secured already for tomorrow.
So overall quite successful in my bets this weekend.

That upset was unreal from Mouz, they didn't look that convincing throughout the playoffs, while Vitality looked like the best team at this tournament, only to underperform in the grand finals. I had Vitality in my pre-live tickets, then switched midway through the series after they looked flat at the first map and grabbed their -2.5 map handicap @3.00 odds.

No roster changes happened between Mouz, but based on their team page, they did get Xyp9x as their assistant coach. They did get lucky with the series against Vitality, but still, they've always been a top team, it's just they're lacking the experience because of their young roster.

I am also enjoying the game, I'd wait for the playoffs to come. We've got 3 days left including today and last day is on Wednesday for the group stages.

Basically Falcons -1.5 seems like the best strategy ever on the group stage 

Checking the standings of the teams right now. Team Falcons and Xtreme Gaming are now assured that they're going onto the playoffs. Virtus.pro and Team Secret have started for their map 1.
Currently, these are the teams that have no chance of going to the playoffs as they're going to the airport anytime now and this list will have more.

• MOUZ
• nouns
• Azure Ray
• Heroic

Well actually I did pretty bad on the final so I probably ended up making only a little after losing big time on the final. I made -2.5 and -1.5 on Vitality to win, yep I got greedy and I thought this would be an easy win given how dominant Team Vitality was.

Thinking this back I guess my decision was plain stupid there and instead of taking -1.5 on Vitality after taking -2.5, I should have gone with MOUZ +1.5 instead or probably just go with MOUZ to win as countermeasure on my first bet. So yeah small amount of profit overall from ESL Pro League so good enough for me

[ralle14]

• MOUZ
• nouns
• Azure Ray
• Heroic

Who would've thought Azure Ray would be on that list, I guess it's the downside of being a replacement team since they don't have time to prepare for this tournament.

I also fell for that Vitality trap and threw most of my profit on them to win. I almost lost it all if I didn't watch the final, but I still think it's the better bet because no one expected Vitality to have that off day in the most important match of the tournament.

I wasn't expecting them to be out this early. The chinese still has XG who's already secured and G2.IG but they're in danger of getting out as well just like Azure Ray depending on the results of the remaining matches. Well, this isn't a problem to them as they can prepare longer for the upcoming Dreamleague Season 23. Still, XG and them will be playing there but no G2.IG. One slot per region only but two slots were given to the Western Europe region.

As I am talking about this which will happen next week, what I am excited about this is with team NaVi, it's been so long since we've seen them in action. No Dendi here but I am excited to see yuragi and sanctity play together against these teams. I just hope that sanctity is already with the team's bootcamp and won't be playing with over 100 ping in a legitimate and tier 1 tournament.

Well as far as I know Azure Ray had a break of almost 1 month without having any scrims or games and their gameplay was low so honestly I was not surprised to see them eliminated but don't worry , they have massive talent and a lot of time to prepare the next tournament.

I'm personally happy for G2.IG and I hope this team will achieve at least semi-finals because if you look across G2 in all esports , they are doing awful in all of them.

Also , some eyes on Boom as well because even if they lost today against GG , this team and especially Pakasz are in their best shape of the year so far.

Well Im not trying to be discriminate or whatsoever but I probably wont bet on SA dota2 teams though. Their performances are inconsistent most of the times and yeah I'd bet my shot on another team or probably just skip the match. Anyway on the next game between SR and Boom which is literally NA vs SA, this pretty much screams NA dominance for me though so Im betting my shot on SR obviously

I didn't know about that. But they deserve that break. Every team and player needs to give themselves a break and in fairness with Azure Ray, they've been competing here and there and they're always part of the major tournaments this year. If they ran out of luck for this tournament or they've been performing bad this time, they might do good for the upcoming one.

Also , some eyes on Boom as well because even if they lost today against GG , this team and especially Pakasz are in their best shape of the year so far.  

To be honest, Pakasz is actually good and he's like the prime K1.
As for the round 5, we still have 6 teams to compete on the last day later and then only 3 will be able to qualify. So good luck to all of these 6 teams;

• BetBoom Team
• BOOM Esports
• G2 x iG
• Shopify Rebellion
• Team Liquid
• Team Secret

I won't bet on that SR vs. BOOM series, but I agree with the SA teams being on and off with their performance. Good luck with your SR bet, I also think they should advance if they can get their key heroes like the Tusk, Hoodwink, and Leshrac.

As for the round 5, we still have 6 teams to compete on the last day later and then only 3 will be able to qualify. So good luck to all of these 6 teams;

BetBoom, Shopify, and Team Liquid should be the last three teams to advance unless they start to tilt and pull some questionable plays again like yesterday.

Only Team Liquid proceeds from the last three that you've mentioned. Sadly, Shopify Rebellion and BetBoom Team were already eliminated and won't be able to participate anymore. What impressive is, Boom esports. They're surprising everyone about how good they are. Anyway, sometimes it is SA that's not too strong at all but this time, they're showing that they can compete with other tier 1 teams as well. So, the playoffs is already there and matches are made too. All teams start at the upper bracket quarter finals and whoever losses will still be able to survive through going in the lower bracket. 4 matches tomorrow as we've got 8 teams left and that tomorrow won't take that long to start less than 11 hours.

Even with those stand-in chinese teams who had been eliminated too early on which i could say that it is really that too unusual considering Chinese dota is really that something that could be on tier 1
specially on AR but well they are now that elimated same goes with Secret and SR and Betboom. As i have expected with TS and Liquid which we know that these are tier 1 teams.
Upperbracket quarterfinals would really be that on next 10 hours. Team falcons vs Boom esports? I would say that this isnt an easy match up for Boom.

Speaking of Team Spirit, this is probably the first or second time around that they've stayed long on a tournament after TI. Am I recalling it right? Because usually, they're always out too early and they focuses on a better tournament that has a bigger prize pool but this time, they're not. Or is it that they're just better as usual because of the teams that are beating them in the past tournaments are also strong. And with the other teams, speaking of stand ins, Tundra Esports is going to take ramzes as their stand in for the upcoming Dream League season 23. It's been so long since we've watched ramzes into this type of tournament and I am happy to see him back and there's a likely that Tundra will kick Tobi after that tournament and will absorb him.

They were so bad LOL

Im not sure what the heck happened there but they lost after winning the 1st map, kinda weird. Betboom lost as well, G2.IG is a pretty decent team as well but yeah its just questionable at this point and only Team Liquid ended up as my expectation by winning 2-0.

Anyway Im assuming that some team played not as good as they usually are because they are saving strats for DreamLeague season 23 though. There are alot at stake on this DreamLeague especially the EPT points. Alot of the leftover teams would be willing to get their hands on the EPT points to be invited on the next Riyadh Master

I agree.

On this Wallachia tournament, there is no EPT points to be distributed. But with the DL23, there's going to be a lot of it and aside from the $1M prize pool.

So, that makes sense for the other teams to get out of it quickly and prepare themselves for that next week and all of the strategies can be saved or they're just literally weak on PGL's Wallachia.

They might've lost that series to a bug as Arteezy mentioned that his BKB didn't trigger properly in game three.

You have a point there since it's the last tournament of the EPT Season 2, and we also have the regional qualifiers for the Riyadh Masters after DreamLeague.

We have the playoffs later, and I guess all favorites should win this time after that underdog day yesterday.

[sunsilk]

Two Chinese teams facing each other now, Xtreme Gaming and G2.IG. I don't understand if there's something to do with the points and standing on the group stages for the placing of teams on the playoffs.

As they are currently playing for their first map, it looks like Xtreme Gaming is doing it with a carry bristleback of Ame. 24 minutes in the game and all 2nd towers of G2.IG were already destroyed.

This is now on the mid game and if this happens to become a late game, G2.IG has got luna and magnus and that's going to play a big part every time they clash. One wrong move, and it's gg.

But it seems that top barracks of G2.IG is already destroyed.

Update: The game ended 27 minutes, XG won.
