Yea ...like BetBoom the team who were favorites in their own tournament decided to leave 1st from that tournament in order to prepare for TI ( this is what they said )...so yea , I can't even trust this tournament as a real one but I don't have anything related to esports to watch so I'm pleased with this one for now.

Per example look how Furia 2-0 Astralis last night and now they are playing Team Spirit ( CS team is really mediocre on Spirit ) and somehow they are losing against them ...which makes this tournament even more suspect for me.

BetBoom vs VP in BetBoom Dacha CS will start in a few minutes. It'll be interesting to see whether BetBoom can pull off another upset like they did against C9 yesterday. The 3.00 odd for BetBoom seems attractive considering that.

Glad to see Cyberpunk getting some love again. The comeback arc of this game has been amazing since its crappy launch in 2020.

Blast Premier World Final is coming!
Starts tomorrow with all the big teams coming to play and ends on this Sunday in a grand final matchup.
This one flew under the radar and didn't see this before the break for the holidays.

Cloud9 vs ENCE
Vitality vs Natus Vincere
FaZe vs Heroic
MOUZ vs G2

Blast Premier World final, a 1,000,000$ prizepool CS2 LAN is going on and currently vitality vs c9 is happening in the upper finals for a spot in the top 4



Earlier today Ence vs Navi series was the craziest Bo3 in a long time in counter strike, as Ence comeback on map 2 from 11-5 to win 11-13 and then Navi won map 3 from 11-5 to 11-13 , never ever seen that before

If anyone hasnt seen it , sportsbetio has added player prop lines for CS2 and they are even available for live betting




c9 vitality score is 7-3 and we can bet on hobbit vs mezii player kills, i think thats pretty nice offering!

Let's see if G2 can save face against Navi as they are currently playing today and are leading.
This tournament is in Abu Dhabi so no wonder when I wake up they are right in the middle of a map or are on the second game of the series of the day already.

Can't wait to see who Faze will face off with this weekend for the grand final on Sunday.

Almost time til first match of the semi-finals for the Blast Premier World tournament kicks off the weekend!
Faze vs Mouz
Navi vs Team Vitality

Faze are the favorites in this matchup but Mouz are no slouch.
So it might be a safe bet for the over 2.5 maps for this one.
Now Team Vitality are good on paper but when it comes these semis they seem to always find a way to make it hard on the themselves and rigging themselves close to the finish line.
So I will be backing Navi for this one with their most recent additions to their reformed roster.

These matches and more markets in the Esports can be bet on here:

I'll be rooting for Team Liquid to beat AR in the lower bracket final and hoping to see another classic Gaimin Gladiators vs. Team Liquid in the grand finals.  



At the start of the playoffs, I thought they'd be the first ones to be eliminated, but I guess the major patch release in the middle of the playoffs came in at the right time.

Edit: So close, almost 2-0'd AR to getting reverse swept.

Kinda surprised to see Liquid losing today as they had the perfect revenge spot to end their year in a fashion victory against GG but Azure Ray really played better than them. However , the outcome might be the same as GG is already leading 2-1 in the finals with game 4 on the way and it doesn't look good for AR but if they can delay the game until min 45+ then Luna as carry will simply destroy the map.

Azure Ray, won and the champion for this ESL Kuala Lumpur.

They came from the bottom of being 0-2 and then swept back GG into 3-2. That was actually a hype grand finals to be honest. I've never seen such game like this when we know that the other team was the strongest in the world for this year.

GGWP for both teams.

Great comeback to take that one away from the favorites Gladiators.

Blast Premier World Finals 2023 was a no contest with Team Vitality taking it away from Faze just like candy from a baby.
Without Twistzz it seems their replacement was not big enough of a talent to fill his shoes.

Just found out that he has joined the Cadian Super Team project he started with a complete reform of Team Liquid along with a new coach in Zews:

Here is what Cadian had to say about bringing him on to the team as he had problems with Stavn from another post that I do not need to put here as this is about Twistzz coming onboard with new Liquid:

So many rumors today in Dota 2 pro scene. First of all , we have Ramsez666 who suddenly left 9Pandas and this means he found a new team to play as carry because playing as offline is really not his style. Now , I'm curious what team he will choose or if he will choose a team at all.

Another big rumor is that Sumail will keep playing in Asia next season as well with suggestions that Bleed esports might snatch him into their roster.
