Astralis seems to the losers of the opening stages of this tournament so far, losing both of their early matches to ENCE yesterday and today to GamerLegion.

They've been shitting the bed so badly in the last few series, and the worst part was getting 12-0'd twice on their map pick.

The other teams are probably more fired up because they need to rack up some VRS points to elevate their chances of qualifying for the upcoming major in late November.

The final round is already set for later today, and surprisingly, the top teams managed to avoid each other except for the Astralis series.

Fissure Playground 2 has already been concluded except the Americas, but it's already in the grand finals and both teams fighting for it are from the South America. So, it's either Perrito Panzon which K1 Hector is part of or Tailung Mafia that includes players from SA too that I have no idea with who are they except that gardick. I wonder who are the other two invited teams to be unveiled.

Yeah that is why I stayed away from them when I placed my bets early on so I don't miss the first match between G2 and ENCE.
Can see Legacy getting the upper hand on a down spiraling Astralis side.
Furia on the other hand should take care of business with an usual B8 team.

Thanks for the update to the Fissure Playground 2 schedule for dota2.
Because they also had a tournament just conclude late last month for CS2 under the exact same name.

Crazy day in CS2 for sure and I'm glad I didn't place any bets today 

Also guys , did you saw GH left Nigma Galaxy ? seems like one of the goats is leaving Dota 2 pro scene and its kinda sad to see him go. He was replaced with Tobi and just when Nigma finally had some life in them and some great strategies ...they decide to make this change. I'm a huge fan of Nigma and I hope Miracle will also be able to return one day if his health issues with be solved.

It seemed that the normal teams ended stage 2 of Pro League as intended with G2 blanking ENCE and they did it in style on map 1 for round 5 not taking any damage even when ENCE had all guns.
No drama this time for Astralis taking out Legacy and FURIA getting rid of the pesky B8 squad.
Had a large bet on G2 & FURIA but was getting worried for the last map as they were getting out classed by this lower tiered team. And they were certainly getting bait-ed by them if it wasn't for last majors MVP Molodoy.

So another pro dota2 player leaving just after seeing the news of Quinn retiring last month.
Never knew Miracle had to leave the scene do to medical issues.

Somehow, all the favorites managed to survive in the final round, and the experience became the difference maker in these high-pressure situations.

I also had a similar bet going with both of those teams, but I regret not live betting on FURIA since they always start slow and lose the first map before waking up to win the series.

From what i've heard, it's only a break similar to Miracle, so he'll probably be back again once he's good to go.

First map went to OT after a big comeback from fnatic on defense side
Second map was never close as NRG won it 13-5

Now nrg are in the grand finals while Fnatic will face the winner of DRX vs PRX happening right now

I also watched that upset happen as NRG cruised through Fnatic with an 11-1 on the first half of the second map.

It's a very even matchup in the lower final, but I hope DRX will be the other finalist since they had a closer matchup with NRG back in the group stage.

The group stage of EPL S22 also kicked off earlier, and Team Spirit finally put tn1r to the test with their series against Inner Circle.

Missed the early games which seemed to almost all of them.
Just began watching The Mongolz vs HOTU and seen they beat the better team for the first map.
Then stopped watching since F1 and EPL are on but just checked the score and seen Mongolz won the second map to tie it all up.
They seem to be struggling with this new team of HOTU which I never have heard of before.

From the looks of it I hadn't missed the good ones yet to come.
Aurora vs Navi
Vitality vs Gentle Mates
G2 vs Faze
FURIA vs 3DMAX

Only one team out of those matches mentioned I have not heard of on the pro-circuit with Gentle Mates.

Those two teams, plus Inner Circle, are the scary underdogs that came out of the first stage.

The first round is close to wrapping up, as there's only the FURIA series left, while the FaZe vs. G2 ended up being a free win for G2 since FaZe probably mismanaged their stuff based on this update post.

The lower matches get interesting tomorrow, as some of the top teams (Vitality, MongolZ, Aurora and FaZe) could meet each other and potentially send one or two of them to the 0-2 bracket.

Valorant champions GRAND FINAL is going on as Fnatic vs NRG map 2 is live right now


NRG absolutely destroyed them on map 1, and have a good lead as well on map 2

However usually in cases like this lower bracket teams dont just bomb out like this, i think there is a good chance fnatic reverse sweeps this after going down 0-2.. lets see

You're welcome, it looks that Fissure has done CS2 first before they organized their tournaments for dota 2. Going to the WEU qualifier on this tournament. I thought that the newly form VP is going to make it. But they've lost against Mouz with an ending of 3-1 in the grand finals. They almost had them straight but VP managed to win 1 game. Congratulations to Mouz for being the qualified team for the PGL Wallachia 6 WEU qualifier to the main tournament.

NRG won the best of five series 3-2 to claim the 2025 VALORANT Champions. NRG was dominated in the first two maps and seemed to have more chances for a quick victory after that initial start. However, this was not the end as then FNATIC comeback strong on Map 3, Abyss. It was just stunning.  And after being down 1-11, they fought back to win the map 15-13 in overtime, that being forcing the series to continue. It was a well deserved fight by the FNATIC but in the end NRG won the Map 5, Sunset by 13 -5 and were the winners.

[ralle14]

The craziness in the EPL S22 continues, as the current top 1 team, MongolZ went on to lose another series and will play an elimination series later today against GamerLegion.

On the other side, there are still a couple of top teams that continue to roll every team they face as Spirit, Mouz, G2 and Falcons went on to go 2-0 and will fight for one of the early playoff spots.

A legend organization for dota 2 is back again in action. If you guys have remember, Vici Gaming. One of the strongest teams before, they're back in action. And the announcement is just announced recently, the chinese region have got another team to be supported by their community.

That's a pretty solid roster, and they could be the next second-best team in China if they can rack up some good placements before XG and Tidebound step back in the future qualifiers.

Also, another round of EPL S22 wrapped up with nearly all of the favorites winning, except for 3DMAX's upset win against NaVi. They'll face HOTU in the elimination match, and i'm starting to think HOTU can make it happen if NaVi keeps losing duels or exchanges they should be winning.

My friend was very sad with the Fnatic loss after the biggest comeback he saw, from 1-11 to 15-13. It was a insane control and the way the fnatic player Boaster was taunting NRG made it all more incredible, the cherry at the top. Very hearth breaking loss at the end but one of the most incredible endings for the 2025 champions. Ethan really steped up to save NRG.

Yeah, so this is what the news about when they've said that XM is going to build his own team. And it looks solid, I guess that dota 2 in China is alive again because the next TI is going to happen in Shanghai. We might even see legend players trying to coach another team, who knows.

The game of NaVi and Hotu is about to start in an hour, are you going to bet for that game?

Are you following the ESL PRO LEAGUE CS? Fúria is playing Aurora today and has everything it takes to win, and they're coming in with great morale thanks to their last championship win. And since 2022, Fúria hasn't finished in the top 8 of the championship. Will they make it this time?

Last match I watched was Team Vitality getting blanked by Gentle Mates but that was still at stage 2 of this tournament.
Just watching FURIA vs Aurora too see if they can beat them as the last match I had an over $500 bet on them they almost lost. They were up 8-4 at the half of the last map.
Just getting ready to see if The Mongolz will have trouble with Gentle Mates as Vitality did during the weekend.

The following matches are scheduled for later on today:
3DMAX vs MOUZ
Vitality vs G2
Faze vs Innercircle
