Big Upset in blast finals, mouz beat spirit 3-1



First two maps were not even close, highly surprising for them to win this so convincingly and shutdown donk so hard.

I didnt watch full series but from the map i watched donk had multiple desk slams already.
Maybe time for chopper to be back? if spirit dont do well in next tourn as well surely there will be some changes

I honestly expected more from Spirit on Mirage. Only 4 points means that absolutely nothing they did worked, and Mirage is one of the most played maps; there's a strategy for everything. For them to lose that map like that is unbelievable for a professional team.

I really can't believe Team Spirit lost 13-4 on Dust2 and then on Mirage. Is MOUZ's new roster incredibly strong, or are Team Spirit having focus and tactical problems?
Team Spirit was expected to win this tournament comfortably.
Their only real challenge was MOUZ, and they suffered a terrible defeat against them in the grand final.

[execijutiere]

MOUZ emerged victorious in the BLAST Bounty final. Spirit’s loss on Dust2—a map they had chosen themselves—may have derailed all their plans. Spirit is a team that generally picks Dust2 first in Bo3 matches, and we can say they’ve been trying to make it their main map; however, it’s also worth noting that they’ve never lost a match on the Ancient map. If they had won Dust2 in this match, they would have already secured the victory on Ancient, and the series would most likely have gone to a decider map—but it didn’t happen. Spinx deserves congratulations. He put on a truly legendary performance and was the top fragger even on the map they lost.

Value wise, this is better than taking handicap on Team Spirit and they most likely gonna win so I just need Mouz to win 2 maps for me to win this bet

As for the bounties, if Team Spirit win then they will get half of Mouz's bounty as well as their own bounty as part of the prizes right?

I'm not that confident in Mouz, but it could be a closer series if Spirit are off to a slow start. I wish I caught those early odds, because now it's only down to 1.48 for Spirit's -1.5 map handicap.

I saw you posted your Team Spirit -1.5 betslip on the other thread, its too bad I guess. Aside from that did you also had outright on Team Spirit though? Im happy that I decided to go with Mouz handicap there because there wasnt any value on Spirit handicap. If it was around 1.8 or something then I probably would have bet on Spirit handicap as well.

I was kinda surprised that Mouz won the first 2 maps and I literally stopped watching after that because thats all I needed for my bet.

MOUZ will most likely win but going to support Spirit since I am hoping Donk can make a comeback to his former glory in these majors yet again.

This is a weird upset I guess considering that Mouz turns out to be struggling against the last two teams but somehow they dominated the game against Spirit.

Yep, that was such an underwhelming series from Spirit, but at least one of us was bound to cash their ticket. I'm also stunned by that strong start from Mouz, and I think it's safe to say Hally is truly holding Spirit back when they're not like this with Jab Jabich and sotf1k. 

Spinx deserves congratulations. He put on a truly legendary performance and was the top fragger even on the map they lost.

He also bagged an MVP award with that insane performance in the final. Mouz desperately needed a consistent player to pull them through, and he stepped up big time.

Something was really off with Spirit yesterday.    They couldn't show us a great teamwork to tell the truth. donk didn't have a great day either. The only map where I liked him was Ancient.

Did you see sh1ro's attempt to knife Spinx on Mirage? I think it's unprofessional in a final series. By the way what a carry by Spinx though! He deserves the MVP award all the way.

Yea spirit looked off, people on reddit already calling for their coach to take another hiatus and not sit behind them. Without him they look more free flowing and un-scared to make things happen

Mouz a very big surprised showing as earlier in tournament they didnt really win matches convincingly but in finals they beat spirit like this. Make it make sense 

Now next big tournament is EWC in about 10 days with a 2 million prize pool

I think the strategy they went with went wrong, probably plan B too, and that's how it ended round after round. These are very commonly used maps with many well-known strategies; there's little innovation. I don't understand why these rounds are so low.

Its kinda surprising that you still take Spirit -1.5 considering that you already had outright on them. You could have hedge both sides by taking Mouz handicap there but I guess you had your doubts with their performance before the final  

1win tournament next on the list? but this is just another recreational tournament before TI so pretty much like a scrim, lots of unexpected results most likely

Mouz was just better on that tournament. Probably because they had to play all the game until the final map and won it by struggling

Spirit losing to Mouz in another major grand finals was disappointing and them only winning one map was more of a shocker. They were a strong team running up to this matchup but just couldn't keep any of their players inline on those two maps that sealed their fate of losing another final.
The one name I heard the most during the last map was Spinx. So you know their roster relied on him to get them to through to that last map. Spinx was even named the MVP of this Blast Bounty.

Yup, that's what i'll be eyeing next after Blast since League won't start until tomorrow.

Its kinda surprising that you still take Spirit -1.5 considering that you already had outright on them. You could have hedge both sides by taking Mouz handicap there but I guess you had your doubts with their performance before the final 

My outright bet was only one unit and I assumed Mouz was a slightly weaker opponent than FaZe, so I went back for more. 

I even had a third bet on another bookie because they had a promo on the playoffs. I might've been able to hedge if I caught the stream early, but I tuned in late and saw Spirit trailing 1-2 into Nuke.

[Pumared]

One thing I hadn't realized is that Pain still managed to win an $11,000 prize in this Blast Bounty. I thought no Brazilian team would manage that. Anyway, Mouz played very well and brought new things! I hope other teams follow the same example for the next championships, which by the way, what will the next one be, do you know?

[goodpunt]

I'm normally not interested in Esports in general but Blast Bounty was very thrilling (because of BSFL).
I even backed MOUZ in the final with several bets, so very satisfied with the outcome

Are the odds for Spirit always so short?

[execijutiere]

The Turkish team Bushido Wildcats qualified for the Season 52 European Final of the ESCL Challenger League by defeating the former MANA team in the Season 52 European Cup final. In the final match, we saw that both teams struggled to win the maps they had selected. The match went to a decider map, and Bushido Wildcats deservedly won the match with a strong CT-side performance. To be honest, no one on the team played particularly poorly, and Vej and cadynx stood out as the players who made the difference in the final match.

[ralle14]

Yes, even the bookies doubted Mouz because of their new changes in the roster, but it somehow worked when the favorites had a bad day.

We have the EWC next week, and the last chance qualifiers will start this week on the 7th. I might check out the qualifiers since there's BC.Game competing there.

Interesting, I was watching the Open Qualifier and there are some great teams competing. I was expecting lesser-known teams, but Liquid, Heroic, BC, Fluxo, Virtus.Pro, and even Fnatic are competing. It's great to see that there are some great teams; I hope good things come out of these matches.

Its not really bad things to do if only the odds was slightly better

So all three on Spirit to win ? , you are one brave soul. I probably would have stop after getting the outright and the handicap but yeah this kind of shit happens once in a while


Switching back to dota2

I just realized that most of their tier1 dota2 teams are playing on 1win tournament rather than GOTF that actually has higher prizepool. TI incoming in less than 2 weeks so I guess most of them wants to limit their travelling time to another country but still its kinda weird that GOTF is also labeled as tier 2 tournament compared to a first series tournament like 1win essence

[passwordnow]

Games of the future is done, and your champion is Playtime with 2 stand ins, jabz and abed. They have singlehandedly beat Yakult Brothers in a 3-0 grand finals. In the image below is the placing of the participants and how much they'll take home for their prize. I think Playtime better keep this roster.

There are some tier 1 teams which are invited for both. I think that if 1win will invite more tier 1 teams for their next essence, it will be good. It's exhausting to participate two tournaments at a time, lan and online and that's why I admire these teams, VG and LGD for participating these two tournaments.
