I see, and that's why I am trying to look for it on the books but it's not found and only CS2. And our boi, yatoro is present in Shanghai to support Team Spirit CS2. My bet for Team Falcons lost and BetBoom moves forward together with Parivision.

Yeah, I've lost my bet with Team Falcons and I thought that they've always been consistent reaching to the grand finals through the upper bracket. But let's see if they'll make it on the bottom.

Miracle played but I was worried for nothing. Turned out that Team Spirit was way superior compared to Nigma. I should have known that Team Liquid would win 2-0 against SR, should have taken that as my bet as well but oh well I put bigger stake than usual on Team Spirit -1.5 so thats enough for today. Honestly I was expecting to watch Kuro to stand-in again to ruin the gameplay though 

Team Liquid at LAN tends to show up when they have to, they also stepped up in the previous season's ESL One tournaments and I think they're on their way to secure at least third place if they can play at the same level as yesterday.

Their series against Team Liquid was so good, they gave Team Liquid a hard time with their beefy cores, but they started to fell off once the game went into the later stages and couldn't keep up with Micke's Morphling.

I'm also leaning on Team Spirit and for some reason it feels like Avulus is set up to disappoint even though they had a good run in the group stage.

Even though they lost against Team Liquid, their series produced one of the best Dota games played in this tournament.

I'm also hyped for the Major grand final who would've thought FaZe would show up for the second time and G2 suddenly crumbled when it mattered.

My ticket is on Faze to win as they're still getting underestimated by the bookies and I don't see Team Spirit as a slight favorite, they still rely a lot on donk while FaZe has more reliable players.

That's esports there, the strongest have their fall backs too. I was quite disappointed but gotta move on. Parivision won the tournament for ESL One Bangkok 2024. And while this is happening, in Mongolia happened the MESA Invitational and Talon Esports won the tournament there. These are the winners with prizes, the others in the lower places don't have any.



So, congratulations to Talon Esports too.

Even though my FaZe bet lost, it was still an amazing series to watch and i'm glad they started earlier than the ESL grand final. 

The constant clutch scenarios from both teams were so entertaining. They would somehow pull off the impossible and steal rounds from each other, unlike the other teams that would instantly save and give up the round if they were at a disadvantage.

Now it's time to look forward to the offseason and expect the unexpected from the teams and their roster announcement.

Don't believe it is the offseason for CounterStrike league play just yet.

I think FaZe Clan was playing earlier today and I didn't know they were currently having tournaments a week or so before they go for their break for two weeks to bring in the New Years.

@GreatArkansas
No I haven't really been big into DOTA2 but since starting this eSports thread had been following the bigger tournaments more and more because I usually put a bet on those matches to coincide with the ones I have already selected in CS2 so to place in a parlay.
Thanks for bringing that up and it looks like the DOTA2 teams play throughout the Christmas day while CS do not and actually take a two week break to celebrate New Years day all at the same time.

Well good luck on this then, its a tier 3 tournament so some upsets could happen and the odds for favourites might not be as good as you wanted it to be


Nah those are online tier 3 tournaments and majority of the teams that joined the tournaments are tier 2 and below so yeah. As for the top teams and tier 1 tournaments, most are taking breaks until New Year. We got one tier 1 tournament on late January 2025 though so yeah pretty much most players are already having holiday soon around 23rd December right after the last qualifiers

^^
Just had placed a bet on CS2 and all there were from European Pro League division 2 play matches going on.
That is about it.
Had looked for something in DOTA2 but there were nothing going on. Not until the tournament that @GreatArkansas had mentioned in their previous post along with the scheduled teams who are participating but starting next week.
There were League of Legends going on but the events that were going on were not that appealing to place bets on.

Mouz won their match yesterday against Passion UA and quite easily.
Today they go up against a team I am not too familiar with in Dragon Esports. But it is a best of 3 so it will more likely go to Mouz as they are playing on a very good run up til the playoffs.
