An update after the day 2 of Dream League for dota 2. I wasn't expecting Aurora to be struggling like this. In the past tournaments, they're one of the best runners every group stage. Maybe the patch did the thing? and as for Team Falcons, I've watched their games and they're giving absolute beautiful dota. I advice you guys to watch their upcoming games because even if a game comes to them to lose, they're giving a hard time to their opponents.

Aurora faced strong teams on day one and day two so if they keep losing on day three, then maybe what you said is true, the patch probably nerf them or they’re just exhausted. Today Aurora is going to face ex-Heroic and GL, if they keep their spirit and their focus, I believe they can turn things from 0-3 to 4-3.

Btw, it’s hard to watch all the matches one by one. I’ll probably just watch my favorite team for now because once the games start since it’s impossible to watch all 4 streams at the same time  .

Aurora did it today, they won against GamerLegion and x-Heroic. There were too many games and that's why we can't even watch them altogether at the same time, just choosing the games that we bet or teams that we like to see them play.

I was already oiling my schlong, in celebration of the big win. I put 610 bucks on 4.3 odds on Gamerlegion.
I was already making reservations for tonight's big feast at my local restaurant. It was gonna be caviar day.
This garabage team decides to throw a 40k gold lead.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I was thinking of betting on GL as well but then, I chose the other game and that bet of mine also lost.

I don't bet on underdogs. I bet on drafts. It just so happened that the underdogs had better drafts on this occasion (in my opinion).

With draft you mean the heroes of each team? But do you bet on this alone?

Because even if the underdog has a better draft they are still the underdog and you can only take the draft so far if the other team is better in gameplay

How do you deal with this?

That's right. Bet on drafts alone. With a good draft, David can beat Goliath. That's the beauty of Dota. Of course i'm not gonna sit here and pretend the underdog always wins by having a better draft, but it happens enough.

How do i deal? I just don't look at who is playing who, rather draft vs draft, ignoring the teams. If i see a better draft, i just go for it, fearless.

And are the odds usually more like a normal odd or do you lose more but win some underdogs with higher odds making it worth at the end of the day?

I’m curious about your win rate with this strategy.

Overall, at the end of day 2, the results we got are like 4thrives again on the first position since they had a very good day 1 and at the same time they were not losing the momentum yesterday too that's why on the top of the table but for how long it could be ?
Because they have 103 points, but the team on number 3 has 102 points. Two days of the final are still left, and this time is going to be intense for sure.

NaVi finally got their revenge against Vitality yesterday and if they can keep up that form, then they might be on their way to winning the trophy at IEM Atlanta.



At one point, it was not that far off from being a 2-0 win for Vitality, but they were so disconnected in the last few rounds of Anubis and NaVi ran away with it to force the final map.

Man I wish I have like half of your knowledge from drafts lol. Most of the time, I got no clue about drafts anymore because I dont really follow the game much nowadays.

I guess you ignore on betting it when the drafts are better but the odds are horrible?

I’m curious about your win rate with this strategy.

I cant say Im not but Im more curious with the PnL percentage, most of the time better drafts means favourites teams which also means horrible odds. Some people could be having decent win rate across bookies but the odds that they normally bets on are kinda bad

This could be double profit on rainbet. I saw this promotion posted in the other esports thread
