There were no surprises in today's Esports World Cup. Team Spirit lost yesterday, so I watched their matches carefully today.
Ancient won easily everything is easy when Donk starts well. They lost to Mouz in the finals last tournament, then to JiJieHao yesterday, and today they got their first victory. Although they struggled on Dust2, they won in overtime. Luminosity had a good attempt on Dust2.

Well, the Dota 2 international has arrived, and I'm very glad that Dota's ancestor is back in business. Finally, there will be these exciting streams, and we will watch the matches and cheer for the favorite teams as well as for the teams from our countries. It's going to be forgotten, and I always worry when I watch the guys from my country try to prove that they deserve to continue on the path to aegis. I've already done all the predictions, looking at how topson put it, and I want to make sure that this guy is right in his predictions and forecasts. I haven't had time to watch any matches yet, but my friends say that he himself shows excellent results in the game.
As a Dota2 player/gamer then this is always been the most anticipated tournament compared to Majors but of course it would be best if they would be also bringing back the battle pass. Now they are still on groupstage. I've been rooting for OG but it seems that they have a bad start up beaten up with Nigma Galaxy and if they would be having that another 2 loses then it would  say byebye to them or early airport.  Grin

BB,Falcons and Team Vision are on the top but these are already anticipated but well, upper bracket isnt that much important. Whom you do think is the darkhorse of this TI?

I haven't even had time to study the full list of teams participating in the qualifiers yet, but the only thing I've seen is that my favorites, Team Spirit, will be participating. Also, from my country of residence, Yandex Team will be participating, which I'm seeing for the first time, and there's a chance they'll be the dark horse you're talking about. While writing this post, I've studied the list of teams and am happy to see 1win (strange that they're from Europe; I thought they were Russian) sponsoring the recent signature campaign. I'm also happy to see Parivision, from Russia. I'm currently busy finishing up the latest Dota event, the Oracle, because I want to win every award and then fully focus on watching the tournament.
Have you able to get arcanas on that Oracle or that dark carnival? I have been able to get 3 arcanas with that SF, WR, VS on which is the best thing i do get from this event. Going back into TI, well TS is known about being the comeback kings on which usually they do drop on the lower bracket and then beating up anyone on lower then goes to finals but knowing into those tons of powerhouse teams then it wont be that still a smooth sail ride for them. Im eyeing also for LGD specially now that Topson is there but of course lets just see on how this group stage would finalize and seeing those final lower and upper bracket positioning.

I wonder which series will shock us today on TI, because yesterday was too clean from all the favorites, and it's too good for us to have another day like that. Both Chinese teams should take their first win later today, but the unfortunate part is that they could face each other in the 1-1 bracket.

There were no surprises in today's Esports World Cup. Team Spirit lost yesterday, so I watched their matches carefully today.
Ancient won easily everything is easy when Donk starts well. They lost to Mouz in the finals last tournament, then to JiJieHao yesterday, and today they got their first victory. Although they struggled on Dust2, they won in overtime. Luminosity had a good attempt on Dust2.
That victory against Luminosity was expected, but still, it's worrying that they needed OT to close out their map pick Dust 2. They need to wake up soon because the playoffs is right around the corner and it's going to be a problem for them if they are paired against the other top teams (Mouz, NaVi, Falcons, Vitality) from the other groups.

OK now I'm really confused because of the CS World Cup (yes I'm a CS and Esports newbie).
Just checked the results and now it's suddenly a best of three while matchday 1 was just a best of one.

Also a bit rare to see that all odds-on favs won yesterday - time to get involved for me now Smiley

Only the opening matches is BO1

All the other games are BO3 and the grand final is the only BO5

3 parlays were lost due to another weird match happened with T1 where Dplus KIA were able to reverse sweep the game earlier. I thought there’s no more mage bot in LCK but I was wrong because it’s still there. Even when Oner sub as T1 jungler, they still lost. They still have one more match in their homeground this coming august 16 against Gen G. Of course, another bet for T1 since the odds are pretty good. I hope there won’t be any changes with the starting player.

What about you guys? Will you also bet on T1 against Gen G?

As I said here before, the good thing about MD1 matches is that you can bet against the favorite teams, because anything can happen. That's what happened with Spirit, Aurora, Parivision, and Tyloon in the wildcard round. They were all favorites and ranked higher, but lost their best-of-one matches. Now, betting on MD3 matches will depend more on tactics. I'm going to bet according to the ranking, with a lot of faith that the Falcons will win.

Yes, even a broken clock will be right two times a day Grin

In a BO1, if you get some luck rounds you can roll and take the match home. But when you have a BO3, if you win one of the maps, the next two the favorite team will learn from their mistakes and probably win 1-2 or at least make a though fight

JiJieHao 13–10 Team Spirit is a good recent example https://www.hltv.org/matches/2396559/spirit-vs-jijiehao-esports-world-cup-2026
