CS major is starting in about a day,
Its probably the most bet on esports event, with how many matches it has

First two days of each stage are absolutely packed and most fun. Earlier it used to be Dota international for me but now it has lost its prestige and just doesnt feel the same

Almost every book should have good offers for the major, vitality are 1.65 to win it all which is decent odds , probably cuz they havent been looking as good recently.

Obviously betting on their series in playoffs should pay more then that easily as outrights in esports are usually a very bad idea lol

It's not a bad option for those who'd rather not sweat every single series, but I agree those odds can be sniped through live betting if Vitality keeps their subpar form during the Swiss stage.

I would only grab those outrights if there's something extra included, like a promotion or bonus.

Yeah, I would have to agree with you when it comes to the earlier matches. Vitality do under perform but tend to bounce back once they settle into these kind of tournaments and get their heads into the game.
As for the promotions offered on Team Vitality, their sponsored casino site only has given something for their individual matches played and not for outright winners of a major. Maybe other casinos have them available not just for certain teams but I haven't seen these promotions anywhere else.

The Falcons' academy team, Falcons Force, faced Misa in the upper bracket of ESEA Advanced Season 57. On the first map, Falcons Force secured an easy victory, partly because it was their pick. Our team didn't do much on the first map. The second map is Dust2, which we selected, and the match has already begun. Our win rate on Dust2 is high, and according to statistics, it’s not a map where Falcons Force performs particularly well. There’s a good chance the match will go to a decider map.

Had not followed a match from an academy team for quite a while but do when their top tiered counter part are not playing in a current tournament or major, so see why you are mentioning about this ESEA.
You must be just getting warmed up for the next one to begin in a few days from now in Cologne.
As you had predicted it did go to the third and deciding map where Falcons force ended up winning. They now face Quazar in the upper quarter-finals to this double elimination bracket.

When there aren’t any matches, I enjoy watching games featuring academy teams or teams from my country. The match wasn’t actually that bad, and MISA might have won if they hadn’t made some simple mistakes, but we saw once again in this match that there really is a difference in experience. Thanks to a coach like NaToSaPhİX, we can at least see how the game should be played in tournaments like this. He’s a player I used to really like, and he even filled in on the first map. Now I can focus on the major tournament

The news has finally arrived for Tundra Esports that they're now releasing their dota 2 roster and moving it to 1win. So does this means that 1win automatically qualifies to TI as they've just changed organization and not the roster, right?

Their spot for both TI and EWC should carry over, assuming Tundra helped them with the transition, but I still think they have to rename their team, similar to how BetBoom renamed to BoomBoys because of Valve's rules regarding betting sponsors.

They have already changed it and renamed it into "1w Team". That's a good renaming and the brand is still known with their team name. I forgot about this ban by Valve about the betting sponsors and was thinking why it had became BoomBoys. Anyway, the TI qualifiers for each region is about to come for the coming weeks this month.

Intel Extreme Masters Cologne day 1 is currently in progress with alot of best of 1 matches already being played.
At the moment Team Liquid is going against BiG. The results for the other matchups have been across the board so not all favorites had won today. Last I looked they were tied 5-5 so this one can go either way.
This will be the final match of the day when it continues on tomorrow for these swiss rounds.

The winner in that matchup faces BB, while the loser is expected to meet Gaimin Gladiators in the 0-1 bracket.

Currently, it's the only match left in the first round, but round 2 should be kicking off in the next hour or so. HLTV is probably waiting for the final match before they update the entire schedule.

Today was the day 1 of the PMGO final host by Indonesia. First of all should understand all the rules as we all know the kills point and whatever but the main thing to know is that the rules are the team who maintain their place in top 6 will directly qualify into the final that will be played on 5 or 6th of June whereas the team who below from 6 but up from the last two, they will play Survival Stage that will happen on the day after tomorrow will the day until the final start. And the last two bottom teams, goodbye for them. Tomorrow is the last day for the group stage games and then the Survival matches will start.

NaVi fell short against Pipsqueak in the lower bracket for taking the last slot for the Esports World Cup on the WEU qualifier. So, it's now done for this region and the two teams that are going to take it are LGD Gaming and Pipsqueak+4. So break it down, there are 4 slots for the EEU and two were already taken by Two Move and Poor Rangers. While for SEA, they'll start later and as for the MESWA, Nigma is waiting in the grand finals already.

Heroic got off to a worse start than I expected. Having lost both of their matches so far, Heroic will be eliminated from the Major tournament early on if they fail to defeat Gaimin Gladiators. We can’t exactly say that Gaimin Gladiators is a very strong team either. We’re talking about a Brazilian roster heavy with veteran players. Heroic is a younger team, but if they’re eliminated early from the major tournament, we can expect them to make significant changes to their roster.

Liquid will replace Parivision for Blast Slam 7 playoffs.





New bracket:

NRG and FlyQuest will face off for their second win in Major Stage 1. Frankly, I see this as a very even matchup, and the odds reflect that. In my opinion, FlyQuest has a slight edge because, when looking at map win percentages, FlyQuest has a better record. Of course, these map win percentages shouldn’t be the sole basis for judgment, as NRG has shown they can hold their own against stronger teams. Still, I see FlyQuest as having the edge.

[virasog]

The teams who are at the bottom of the table so far, I think they should not lose the hope, they  have chances to make their place up yeah it looks hard for them to take Chicken Dinner but still not the impossible, at least they just look for kill points and if its hard then camp in the houses or play safely where the circle comes so that you may have some placement points but at the same time try to play fearlessly and with no pressure, leading to an balanced and great game.

By beating GamerLegion, they’ll most likely be the team to go through 3-0. If GamerLegion win this match, it will give them a huge advantage. Not only will they win the match and start preparing for Stage 2 straight away, but they’ll also get a chance to rest. I don’t think BetBoom have the potential to beat them. They’ve only played one match against each other, and that was two months ago. Although BetBoom beat them 2-0, GamerLegion have started to find their form.

Liquid will replace Parivision for Blast Slam 7 playoffs.

Good for Team Liquid, it's just sad that Parivision has got these travel problems maybe another visa problem of one of theirs. I wonder if the prize of Team Liquid will be changed if they end up good on Blast and then it will be split with Parivision. Because currently in the standing, they ended with 7th-8th place with $25k.

Gamerlegion put in a dreadful performance against BetBoom and missed out on the chance to win 3-0. BetBoom deserve credit; they really put in a good performance. To be honest, I didn’t expect them to play and win this match so well. FL4MUS was the standout player for their team in this particular match. Hypex was the best player for GamerLegion, but unfortunately his efforts weren’t enough to secure the win.

Just finished seeing B8 blank M80 and it was a really good one to watch. Since B8 are a team who have been improving with every tournament they play in because many doubt them winning these sort of matches against decent teams but they find a way to win them.
The last map was where they showed their excel in performance taking it to double overtime just so make sure M80 didn't make any comeback and being able to move on to stage 2 of this IEM in Cologne.

It was a really entertaining match. If S1n had played a bit better, perhaps M80 might have managed to beat their opponents. B8 really is continuing to improve, just as you said. They’ve become a team that consistently gets stuck in these rankings, and despite being a Ukrainian squad, I think they’re putting in a performance that’s beyond what’s expected of them. I can’t help but mention that they also have the potential to make it through Stage 2.

Was not too familiar with the players on M80 but the post-game interview did mention about their players not having enough skill in certain points in the match. Just as an example, one of their players tossed their weapon away thinking he was getting an upgrade but had mistakenly just threw it in the line of fire for the opposing team to snipe him.
Things such as this costs teams who are playing in OT the match.
Just finished watching FlyQuest beat THUNDER dOWNUNDER and it was a no-contest on the second map taking them down 13-3.
Next up is the match you are probably wanting to see with GamerLegion vs BiG.
The other match currently being played is Tyloo up against Sharks who are tied with one map a piece.

Torontotokyo kicked from OG. What a surprise
