Missed the match as it was one of the earlier ones of the tournament.

So much drama in Dota 2 lately and most around Team Heroic and Parker because even if Parker is benched right now and the org wants to sell him or find a loan situation for him because he has massive talent as a carry so it's not normal for him to be on the bench. However , most of T1 teams have said that no one really wants such a guy in their team , who can starts conflicts out of nowhere or can play against his team just because something doesn't go as he perfects as he wants to and I can understand teams for saying this. Per example , Team Liquid lead coach Blitz said that no matter how great you are , no matter how skilled you are , no team will want a problematic player in their team to disturb what have already being build. 

What do you think it will happen with Parker ? he will understands that Dota 2 is a team game ? or he will find the hard way by sitting on the bench for quite some time.

I watched the live, it was a good one, B8 only needed 2 more rounds to defeat astralis by 2-0.

Well the longer he stays on the bench, the more he will realize that he was at fault and with no team looking to take him , it is already a tough situation for him. This can become even more worse for him if Team Heroic wins future matches without him and that will just add to his frustrations.
Its strange that once Parker was considered as the beast but now he is known as Toxic.

I also saw that controversial issue with Parker because Heroic lost in the SA qualifiers. I doubt he'll change for the better, someone mentioned the same problem with the teams he's played with before so I assume there'll be no improvements.

It was probably overlooked back then because his team wasn't finding success, and it became known again after bringing his team down with him.

Crucial games happening for the 6th and 7th spot at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/esports-betting
Whoever win in Team Spirit against Sashi will get the tiebreaker match for the 7th slot. Passion UA really started strong with 2 wins and now here they are trying to fight their way for the slot in the Major.
Place your bets and good luck.

I can't wait for this major to be honest because somehow CS2 and Dota2 always had legendary T1 tournaments there and I'm sure this one won't be any different.

Team Spirit managed to beat Sashi today but I think they ended on 8th place ? I don't know for sure but on Liquipedia I can see them on 8th place.

BLAST Slam I for tomorrow, tier 1 dota 2 teams are going to participate and there will be tons of games for tomorrow. Here are the first two picks that I've got.




All of the matches are best of 1 series which will be cut into two groups, A and B. Here they are, it's going to be a long day tomorrow.

Seems that their position got updated as they are showing in 7th place from the screenshot of the site you mentioned above:


Seems that BiG are now the favorites to win this tournament in Shanghai!

Nah its just bo1 so its going to be pretty quick I guess. Taking favourites might be the best shot on this game so Im combining 3 of them



Falcons - XG , Taking Falcons
Team spirit - GG, taking Team Spirit
Betboom - Heroic, taking heroic

I cant screenshot the whole thing dang it. Gotta use different site I guess  but my current balance is kinda stuck in there for a while so Imma use the site

The way they finished first/second together with 3dmax could easily mislead you to think they're one of the better teams in the tournament. They're just lucky to finish 3-0 with easier opponents and avoid some of the better teams (G2 and Spirit) in group B. We still have the likes of NaVi, G2, Vitality, and Mouz waiting on the elimination stage.

I've done a similar parlay and took BetBoom instead of Heroic. I'm still unsure about Heroic's temporary carry and how quickly he could adapt to the team's playstyle.

[passwordnow]

Got 1-1.  




So we're going now to the playoffs. First two matches tomorrow, Heroic versus Team Spirit and then OG versus Team Falcons. It's hard to bet on the team favorites since the odds are pretty low so I have to decide this way.

Yes, that's what I have said maybe you've misread it into 3. But in the playoffs, it's going to be bo3 from now on.

We have the teams listed who have made it through to the Perfect World tournament in Shanghai which begin on November 30th announced:


https://www.hltv.org/news/40396/perfect-world-confirms-opening-major-matches-tc

FURIA are top seeded but I really like the MongolZ as the team to upset alot of the other big names announced in this opening stage of the competition.

How in the world did you managet to pick Heroic to win over Team Spirit. For 5.5 odds, I wouldnt even put a dollar on it. Yeah both teams are bad but atleast Team Spirit managed to get a single win against OG. Team Spirit was also pretty decent on the last tournament. After Team Spirit won the 1st map, that should be a signal that show HEROIC is done for

Amazing. iirc this was the 2nd time I've seen you pull something like this lol

cs2 tournament after Blast Slam end huh. This would be my go to tournament before ESL One starts !

[passwordnow]

Won 2-0. 2 hits! 1 for Heroic @5.5 and then over 2.5 maps.  



I've skipped today's matches and will just pass on and get back tomorrow.

Just got lucky, I liked the odd and then just bet on it. Heroic is actually strong with or without parker, they can really do some upsets like that. I just pulled it off and bet for it.

That's one juicy win from Heroic, I also wouldn't have the guts to drop money on their moneyline after their 0-4 result.

I'll keep it simple with both favorites going for 2.00 combined odds on their moneyline. Yesterday's series was a toss-up for Parivision, they almost lost the series if it weren't for Heroic's passiveness in the mid to late game. Gaimin's clean win against Falcons makes me want to believe they're back, but I still see Xtreme Gaming pushing this to the distance after only losing to BetBoom.

Just started watching Day one of the Shanghai Major Opening stages over at PGL official channel:
PWE CS2 SHANGHAI MAJOR 2024 - OPENING STAGE - Day 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdNH6XZECHA

The match is between Team Liquid and a team that I had never seen play before - Wildcard.
Currently they are 9-5 for Liquid so it should be a short map.

Many on the chatroom during the weekend matches were calling this team Clown9 after their horrid performance against Complexity during the Perfect world tournament for cs2:
https://www.hltv.org/matches/2377690/cloud9-vs-complexity-perfect-world-shanghai-major-2024-opening-stage

What did I say about MongolZ they are looking good and are posed to be getting first place for the opening stage of this tournament which closes out tomorrow:
https://www.hltv.org/events/7861/perfect-world-shanghai-major-2024-opening-stage

Elimination stage with BiG vs Complexity in 3.5 hours from now then MiBR vs Flyquest & Wildcard vs Passion UA.

Elimination stage with BiG vs Complexity in 3.5 hours from now then MiBR vs Flyquest & Wildcard vs Passion UA.

The MongolZ had a clean run after meeting the easier teams like Rare Atom, MIBR, and GamerLegion. If one of these teams stole a map away, they'd still have no issues winning the next as they're just a step above these teams anyway.

The first series already ended with BIG winning the series everyone on their side pulled their weight while Complexity had to rely on Elige and hallzerk for the most part.

There's no clear favorite on the next series, but after watching FlyQuest yesterday, I want to say MIBR has a good shot at claiming their ticket to the next stage.
