This round has been one of the worst for me with only 1 hit in the answers so far, after Sinner's retirement now we only depend on the dota question if there will be a winner or if it will be a tie

It's a crazy round indeed, Jannik Sinner retiring have also ruined a lot of picks and I have bet on him, I hope it's going to get voided since the match wasn't completed right ? and I had him to win ML.

Medvedev is now trying to ruin the last part of everything for me, he's lost the first setnand he's still struggling to take any positive edge here in the second, would be such a for me if he does lose this, his entire body language doesn't seem motivated and lack confidence for this game, currently down by 2 games to 1 in the second set as well.

More reds are on the way now that Medvedev lost 2-0 to RBA, the good part for me is that my opponent has the same prediction as mine.

The tiebreakers for Dota finished just now, and BetBoom 2-0'd Gaimin Gladiators. At least they finally woke up after throwing their last two series, and now it's guaranteed that one of them will make it to the finals.

Medvedev loss at semi final & Rublev also go to loss
I think most people pick medvedev or rublev to win the final

Zverev had better not make it to the finals, because that'd give darxiaomi the win over me in the question number 8, and that gives him a kind of edge in the H2H.


I'm tuned in to Alcaraz v Dimitrov, and I don't want any more surprises today, please!

Alcaraz is finally getting his rhythm back despite not being on his favorite surface and he looks to have gotten over his injury fully, and it would help him go further in this tournament.

As usual, tennis is not my favorite sport and even I don't know how it goes I analyze opportunities based on news my prediction is Rublev - Sinner, Rublev Winner
Rublev defeated Griekspoor with a score 2-1 whereas for Alexander Bublik vs Sinner is unknown, looks like this match was stopped in the 2nd set and previously Alexander Bublik managed to secure the first set 7 - 5, anyone have information why this match was stopped? in livescore the status is (P2 withdrawal) I don't understand what it means.

[Omikifuse]

Ayo, may I ask how will the last question be graded for Bonta? His answer was simply "Glamin Gladiators" I guess as outright winner. Will we get a point for final if the GG actually get there, or not because he didn't explicitily predicted them as finalists and you are allowed to predict a winner that you didn't pick as finalist?
As it is now I get a guaranteed win if anything other than a jamaican win by exactly 1 goal but I can get a draw if jamaica wins by exactly 1 goal and depending how the last question will be graded for Bonta.

P2 withdrawal means that P2 (Sinner) withdraws due to possible injury
and Bublik advanced to next round, playing Zverev for final at the tournament, Rublev is playing against Bautista Agut, since he put Medvedev out

on other tournament, Alcaraz won over Dimitrov and secured SF match against Korda, I need a win in that match

I see that the DOTA group stage 2 is finished. Each team played 7 games so I guess that the finalists are PSG and BetBoom. Is that question for one point or we get one point for each team that we guess? Because I got it all wrong, but I see that my opponent picked Garmin Gladiators and PSG. So he got it half good. Does that mean he gets one point or is it counted as wrong for both of us?

It's probably one point for each correct guess since that's how the h2h final and winner prediction have been going during the previous few rounds.

[Strongkored]

I see that the DOTA group stage 2 is finished. Each team played 7 games so I guess that the finalists are PSG and BetBoom.

What I understand is PSG and BetBoom are finalists for the upper bracket so for the grand final there is one winner from the upper bracket final and another team that goes to the grand final is determined from the winner of the lower bracket final, it's quite confusing for those who don't really follow DOTA competitions and I was one that didn't follow it, and it looks like my opponent has a better chance of winning question number 10.
Question number 8, there are only two teams left whose player choices are still playing while the rest have been out from tournament, it's always difficult to predict which one will go to the final.

That's what I think too. The question was just me hoping that it could be one point for the whole correct answer because that would mean that we both would have wrong answer and I would have won. This way I'm not sure about a draw...

I think you are right. I just remembered the Flashscore website that casperBGD suggested and it's much easier to see the results and the schedule. At least for those of us that don't follow DOTA and are familiar with live score website from "normal" sports FLashscore says that today there are two games. One is GG vs. Talon Esports and the other is PDG vs. BetBoom. So it looks like my opponent still has a chance to get this question right.

Danil Medvedev with the huge let down for me, as I have already anticipated that Jannik Sinner game would be considered void and it was but Medvedev with non impressive and losing body language see to it that I lost my bet 




Oh Ye Alcaraz doubters today is the day he gets to prove you all wrong, but it's now a very fine margin between me and my opponent, every remaining question now have it's own significant impact on how our fixture would end, and It's very likely that the winner would known by the end of today.

Yeah Sinner retired from the game early in the second set already. But indeed the biggest surprise was Medvedev. That tiebreak and a poor performance in that by Medvedev caused him to be out of the tournament by 2-0. I wanted to trust Medvedev in that matchup after seeing that they faced each other before on grass court and Medvedev won by the same score.

I wrote Medvedev and Sinner as an answer to the tennis question and failed. Thankfully my opponent vd309 did the same and there is still a nice competition in this round between us.

will be interesting to see Alcaraz today, I am not sure that he will win, but I need that one
Korda is good on grass, was a bit surprised that he was favored by bookies against Norrie, little, but favored with @1.8 odds, and he won it easily

changing Zverev to Sinner in last minute was wrong decision, as I see, but it could see me taking Zverev outright @20 for Wimbledon, he looks very good at the moment (not thinking he will win, but even SF is money on that)

[buwaytress]

Tennis, yeah. Halle would be a killer tournament for whomever bet on the underdog all the time, think it's already a steady 100/1 if you just laid out the same bet game after game. Don't know if that's it but plenty of hope for those guys who don't have a title under their belt yet.

Re DOTA question does seem clear enough for me that we need to pick the finalists, so everything is still possible now, upper bracket just means losing that game gives you another chance. Lose, but win the next series and you're in the final. Think Trofo or someone mentioned that upper bracket guys generally end up as finalists anyway.

Yes, it's as though we have like minds on that, I'm sure looking at some dark horses outright for Wimbledon too, I just need a little bit of more information regarding the seedings and the draw path, so I might have about 2-3 outrights on some underdogs. Alcaraz winning this tour would put him back at World No 1, I don't know if that will be of any effect on the seeding for Wimbledon, so I'll just wait for the draw chart and how both current ends before I draw my conclusion.

Betting a couple of bucks on GG and LGD to win their respective game tonight as a support to my pick on our week 3 questionaire. I really feel that GG can manage to pull their self together on this tournament to achieve higher spot. I really think that they can beat BB on the semi finals since I'm assuming that LGD will still have a flawless run on the UB.

I was hoping Talon would eliminate Gamin Gladiators, at least that would give me my first edge in the H2H vs my opponent, but I don't know how to feel with your bet, Talon have been quite impressive later and I would have had my bet on them to win a map rather than ML on GG, Talon have won the first map, and I think any won who stream the fixture on twitch would definitely.

I was literally simultaneously watching Bublik vs Zverev, while also streaming Dota 2 on Twitch, I mean on Saturday afternoon, but when there no football event how much of a choice do we have. That said, Bublik with yet another upset by eliminating Zverev 2-0, that's coming after having great game versus Sinner, I'll probably be backing him for the finals.

[arallmuus]

Most of the time yeah depending on how long the playoff is but in this case either of the upper bracket is going to be getting a spot in the grand final so yeah if anyone pick both of them then they are guaranteed to have atleast a point on question #10

Did you watch the game between Bautista-Agut and Medvedev @Harkorede? I watched it for 20 minutes and when you mentioned the body language here, I think you know exactly what we are talking about... I have made bad experiences going with Medvedev in the past and this was again a game when he totally denied to keep playing sometimes, laughing all the time about his unforced errors and about Bautista-Agut points. It came to a point when I thought that it is disrespectful towards the audience who bought tickets to see him. He literally played at times like he would be playing a fun match against his little 5 year old in the garden. The whole body language, the gestures, that was ridiculous. You could see that he cares zero about Halle.
