Good to see Dota2 tournament again, and as expected Team Liquid is still the favorite team to win the championship.
Well, few more hours and they will commence The Lima Major 2023. Interesting to see other teams to qualify for this.
I think this will be a battle between European team and China. Will start looking for a better odds for this one and will surely not miss to watch the game as well.

The Lima Major Group Stage — Day 2 Standings.

From Group A: Western Europe team at the top of Group A while two Chinese teams at bottom, unexpected from PSG.LGD.
From Group B: Expected from Group B that Team Liquid will take the lead while Knights at the very bottom with no wins. Perhaps the issue of Knights in the last DPC CN 2023 Tour 1: Division I is true.

Nice update OP, It’s been a long time since I didn’t watch Dota2 tournament after the last TI. Also I’m surprised how Kuyanic page evolve on producing a quality materials for presentation of the leaderboard. Team Liquid is expected to dominate this tournament since they won the WEU qualifiers without any loss while most of the power house team is already there.

What really surprised me is the good performance of Talon E-sports. I wonder if they can keep this up on the next few days of group stage.

I am rooting for SEA teams, especially Geek Slate. I expected that Liquid will be dominating in this tournament. On the other hand, I didn’t see Thundra to be behind the current standing… I think one why they are behind is that Wraith Pack was nerfed (which Thundra heavily countered from the last TI)? Anyways, I want to see some revelations of OP items and/or heroes.

After losing 2 parlays I am back to the usual single bets. I am cheering for Shopify Rebellion but I am not too confident betting against Team Spirit. Meanwhile, I am betting on Gaimin Gladiators, Entity, and Team Liquid. These teams will have better chances of proceeding into the upper bracket semifinals.

Today will be full of great games as each team will give it all since dropping into the lower bracket is not a guarantee of a comeback. Definitely not an easy road when PSG.LGD, beastcoast, and Tundra are the ones waiting in the lower bracket.

Making money in Dota will bring many difficulties. You will have to accept the lifestyle of players who dedicate at least 8 hours a day to this game. You will take big risks, and no one guarantees you the result.
