CCT series 3 is getting close to the finals. Later on, the upper bracket finals is up and that's where I've placed a bet. I hope that this bet of mine will be the first win for this week. It's going to be AVULUS and 1win. Both of these teams, I have not gotten any win but it's interesting on my end if AVULUS for which I bet on will be bringing me my first W and I like its odds.

[passwordnow]

Another lose for this bet. I'm trying to get a motivation for this upcoming bet of mine since CCT series for dota 2 is now on the lower bracket semi finals and 4 teams are remaining. 1win is now waiting in the grand finals.



Whoever wins this match, they'll face AVULUS since they've lost against 1win.

Whoever wins this match, they'll face AVULUS since they've lost against 1win.

With AVULUS beating Mouz in the lower final, we'll have a rematch between them in the grand final. After they got tested in the upper bracket match that ended in a sweep, i'll pick 1win's -1.5 map handicap and assume AVULUS is only good for one map at most.

BB Dacha LAN main event started today and VP vs furia is next, slight odds favored to VP but furia played really well yesterday

They'll face Eternal Fire in the lower bracket and it'll be fun to see Eternal Fire get back at Furia after they lost the seeding match in the group stage. I'm also looking forward to the upper bracket match as the odds lean on Team Spirit, but the recent H2H results favor Mouz.

Luckily, I've won this bet. Finally! hehe.

Yeah, it's another rematch that they have. As much as I want to bet on the match winner but I don't like the odds. So, just as you, I'd go on with the maps betting. I took under 4.5 maps, the odds is not the typical one I bet but I'd take this. Good luck to our bets ralle!

First game of BetBoom Dacha 2024 will be between Furia and Eternal Fire with both teams being in great shape lately but with a slight advantage towards Eternal Fire. First of all , EF is the only team left with the entire rooster being together for quite some time now and the chemistry between players is really amazing to watch.

Second game of the day will be between Virtus Pro and paIN gaming and I have a feeling VP will somehow snatch this victory after they were able to defeat Falcons yesterday. 

[passwordnow]

Oh my, I've lost this bet. I should have followed my heart to bet on Avulus as the champ of this tournament with a good odds. The first 2 maps were won by 1win but then 3rd and 4th map was taken by Avulus up to fifth map, that was heck of a sweep from them, a reverse sweep indeed.

Reminder: 4 days to go and the TI2024 starts, the prize pool isn't interesting as it's quite low until now. So, this is expected that each year of TI, prize pool will become lesser as the game is getting older and there are lesser support from the community now.

[boltz]

Eternal Fire vs paIN gaming in just 30 minutes and this might be the game where score should be tight in all maps but overall , EF are a bit better and in great shape than paIN gaming and that's why I do see this game being only 2 maps but with very tight score and even 1 overtime.

Later on, we have Mouz vs winner from EF vs Pain and I do hope we get to see Mouz vs EF because EF are looking for a trophy for quite a while and with Team Spirit being vulnerable lately and now having great tournaments , EF can exploit this and try to win the finals.

Did they start playing yet because I went to grab a breakfast before it started and now are saying they will starting in 5 minutes and there is some kind of delay from them to start the match of these play-offs.

Thanks for the headups on the Dota2 scene @passwordnow because as we all know I am not fluent in that game, yet atleast.
Heard some terms about it on my sportschat that I am on and catching up on the game this way.
They mentioned sometimes about failed draft, so I know this is referring to dota now.

So what are the prize amounts and why are they so low compared to last year?

That's okay man, we've got a lot of dota 2 gamers and bettors here and that's why everyone of them is updated in anyway.

Heard some terms about it on my sportschat that I am on and catching up on the game this way.

That happens but very rare, I remember that with former Team Liquid roster with insania, they've picked a wrong hero that was in the meta of being a carry but they played it as a support role in a TI game, yes.

So what are the prize amounts and why are they so low compared to last year?

There's lesser support from the community I guess and gamers don't buy the compendium that they've made for this year. I think that the trend as well is going down for dota 2. Currently, the prize pool becomes $2.350M. I am waiting for the update of the group stages and will post that soon when it's available already.

[passwordnow]

Update for The International(13) 2024.

They already have the matches for the group stages and two days from now, it's about to start and there's so many games to bet on for day 1 with these 4 groups.




I have picked two bets already but for draw, so these matches on group stages are a best of 2 match only. Most of the games in here are likely to get draw based on what I've seen in the past tournaments but who knows, this is TI and it could be different this time. I am still contemplating about the other matches that I should bet on but for now, this is my first dibs.

@passwordnow
Thanks for the table of the next big tournament on the DOTA2 scene starting in just a few more days so to wait beginning September 4th:

                                                 The International 2024


https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/4247544173402144047

So there will be in-game advertisements afterall as I remember a few people mentioning about this because some were thinking they were bleeding money hence the lower prize amounts.
But these advertisers should bring in more money then allow for a larger prize pool.
Correct all you dota2 experts?

You're welcome and no, there won't be any in-game advertisements whether from Valve, sponsors or even with the teams. The article mentioned that they aren't going to allow it.

This year, to remove distracting elements and allow full focus on the game and the people playing it, we aren't going to have advertisements and sponsorships in-game at The International, including in team banners, base logos, and tags in player names.

But these advertisers should bring in more money then allow for a larger prize pool.
Correct all you dota2 experts?

If it is with the prize pool, these advertisers should be allowed to advertise through Valve's dota client instead of sponsoring the teams. With that, that's how these advertisers will be able to help to increase the prize pool. But most of these advertisers are only sponsoring teams directly and their main economy impacting the players and teams to have better salary and funding.

I hope we have another great tournament. The meta is great and interesting, I can't stop playing Dota, and it's very interesting how often teams will use the new hero - Ring Master. He looks like a great support and those teams that love performance will definitely show how true professionals play this hero.

Oh, the anticipation of the International...

Every game in the pub, there's always the ring master and that's why it is a crazy meta. I think he's OP but is he in the drafts? I don't think at this TI he's in there, I haven't read any official patch about him included in the draft so that's why I am not expecting him to be there. Or, if within the few hours a patch will happen and it's about him, for sure that it's going to be part of the first bans. We've got few hours left until the opening of the games start. All teams are already checked-in, people and players from Copenhagen sure is going to enjoy this TI.

You are right, Draft is different from Pub, but wouldn't it be stupid for Valve to release such a hero and leave the International without him?

Every time I see a new compendium, I facepalm and remember the old first great compendiums. And all those events like Chinese New Year, when great sets on heroes were easy to get for free. Now Valve are like a greedy old man, giving only bad items for free.

Yeah, because he was just released weeks before the TI. IIRC, this has happened on the other new heroes in the past, they were not included in the TI but I'm not yet sure but let's see.

Dude, that was the greatest of the past and it's sad that Valve has turned his way from being a community friendly provider than to looking at us as their money making machines. Anyway, I don't really care about the items but about the battlepass and compendium, they should give what the community wants. This TI even with the Saudi Prince, not probably impressed with what Valve released lately.

Passwordnow did talk about this new hero earlier on in the thread, The Ring Master as you had mentioned.
I remember from the photo of the brand new character brought into the game below:

This tournament is like a break for most of the teams that are going to participate in the The International 2024. We've got less than a month before that grand tournament comes and so a new patch has came and most teams have also a way to practicing their hero.

I agree, we should tread lightly for now and save most of it for TI, where most teams would bring out their full potential.

That's right and with the latest patch, there's a new hero now Ringmaster[1] but I don't think that this will be included before the TI happens but still, we've got now the 2024 compendium. It's now showtime and the most awaited time on how much fund will be gathered through this update.

Below is Ringmaster.

Can this hero really make a pivotal difference? Maybe if a player on a team has mastered it's use in such little time it has been available to pick from in the game.

Yes, he's got crazy skills that it's like a combination of 7 heroes each skill that he's got. For reference, here's his the list of his skills

That's right about someone mastering it especially on the pro scene and tournaments. But as of now, I don't think that he's available to be picked in tournament matches. He can be played and picked for normal games and rank matches but not for these tournament matches yet, that's what I at least know for now.

[arallmuus]

Correct all you dota2 experts?

Well not really, it doesnt mentioned on liquipedia's page that there will be extra prizepool for the teams so probably Valve is going to rake every extra advertising fee that they will get from this. Valve is just a greedy mf  

This is what I'd like to believe though but I kinda doubt it so probably there will be some closed deal between Valve and all those teams that participate to split in those fee or probably based it on the popularity of the participating teams or something along that line

[xLays]

The group stage starts later, maybe you guys have a parlay bet that you can share here so I can follow. So many new and different teams, I can't decide which team to bet on. Also it is group stage only two maps there's possibility of draw. Please drop you picks for day1.

I have a feeling that China will win The International this time. Well, it's either IG or Xtreme Gaming.
