Great pick on MiBR at those odds. I had them around there too. I think 1.82x right before the first match between BiG and Complexity played.
But I put Complexity to win when they were up one map @1.26x and parlayed it with MiBR.
They ended up losing to BiG who are onto the Perfect World championship later in the week.

@Reid
Thank you for the update on the table as shown above! As for the favorites I think will win it in this Shanghai Major?
I always go with Team Spirit in these international tournaments as they are usually have solid gameplay against the rest of the other region's best CounterStrike squads.

@passwordnow
That bet looks like a winner!
Wasn't watching the match but from where I checked the match results they stated it was a 3-0 Navi Juniors win.
I didn't watch it because I hadn't known about this tournament happening. I guess these U21 matches aren't widely streamed on youtube. I think would of been easier to find a livestream on Twitch instead.
But heard they were having issues lately so this platform that was made for gamers might not be around to grab these dota2 or cs2 streams from very much longer.

CounterStrike has the Shanghai Elimination day 1 matches going on live over here:

Anyone who is into video games will not want to miss this when it is released in less than a week on December 10th.

Today I was wondering how many of the same fans of rare eSports betting as me are present in the topic. I mean that I only bet on Dota 2 International, and as you understand, I do it once a year. And that's it. Apart from that, I don't bet on sports and am not interested in eSports Dota at all. But I adore the International and have been following the events that unfold there very closely for several years.

It's so weird to see MIBR in the 2-0 bracket after completing two shocking upsets on both 3dmax and NaVi, it'd be one hell of a run if they somehow end it with an upset against Vitality later today.

Instead of backing a team today, i'm changing it up with the total rounds on the Team Liquid vs. Furia match. Both teams had close games yesterday so a 13-9 scoreline should be easy if they don't make a mistake with the map bans.

Same, it's not a bet friendly format because of the three way market, but at least we're getting nice odds on most of the series.

I'm sticking with the top teams (Team Falcons, Team Liquid, etc) that has an easier matchup assuming they don't drop these unnecessary maps. I still don't have the confidence to back the mediocre teams unless they could put up decent results and steal maps from good teams.

Shanghai Majors are heating up with the two elimination matches ending with Faze beating Furia and Heroic ending Navi.

The Major continues on the 12th with tournament MongolZ going against MOUZ who will test them since they won the last major tournament just last month.
Next match is between Spirit and Liquid which should be a good one and expect them to go the over 2.5 maps.

1 million $ Dota LAN ESL bankgkok started on monday and will end on this sunday itself



Currently the standings arent really unexpected, however pleasantly surprised with how Nigma played against bet boom. Good idea to look at them at plus odds tomorrow 

Placed a bet on ESL Bangkok for their dota2 tournament and European Pro League season 21 for CounterStrike.
From what I remembered which was posted on this thread, I chose those matches towards my betslip for yesterday's matches and they all cashed in a nice Esports acca.

Had Team Falcons first which were 1.45x then Team Spirit for map 1 which I think they ended up in a draw.
Took Navi Junior from what @passwordnow posted at the very top of this Esports thread as they just won their tournament 3-0 so took them to beat Apogee which they did quite easily.

So cashed in a nice 2.37x parlay for today.

Now just waiting for the Perfect World Shanghai Majors to start up tomorrow.

The last Shanghai Major organized by Perfect World was in 2016 so its been a while. Aside from that, Perfect World used to organized DPC for CN region but with DPC gone I guess they move out to cs2

So tomorrow we are getting straight to the grand final huh? BetBoom vs Falcons. Parivision get the top spot on Group B but there is no way that they are better than Betboom on Playoffs. Totally scream over 2.5 maps on this though, classic over 2.5 maps when two favourites play against each other especially on upper bracket

Feels so bad to see Team Secret doing so bad in Dota 2 pro scene. Since Nisha left them , nothing good happened to this org and I'm afraid Puppey doesn't current understand how Dota 2 actually works right now and I think this is the main factor of why this team doesn't perform great at all. Also , worth to mention that they changed their team 3 times since Nisha left and nothing worked.

I'm starting to think that it's the same situation with Kuro and Nigma and we can see now that Nigma is doing A LOT better right now and they actually qualify for most of the Tier 1 tournaments. Maybe , same needs to happen with Secret and Puppey...
