About that Blast Bounty tournament, G2 have a game later against Eternal Fire and they are the favorite once again to win this match. I will be betting for them now and wait for the game to start later.
NAVI versus Team Spirit will play 3 hours after that.

Which teams do you think will meet in the Finals? G2 vs Team Spirit?

The last round of the group stage earlier today was a blessing with all the favorites winning 2-0 (Tundra, Team Liquid, and Talon).
Also, i'm amazed by how Talon managed to weather the storm after meeting a few good teams, but their run could likely come to a halt as BB will be their opponent in the playoffs.
Eternal Fire should already be on the list of top teams, but in terms of their run in Blast, i'd say they have the easier route because some of the teams they met are still adjusting to their new player.

Thank for reminding @everyone who follows CounterStrike tournaments rohang!

Just tuned in and see a Sportsbet.io sponsored team taking on the boys in this one:

LIVE: Imperial Valkyries vs FURIA Esports - IEM Katowice 2025

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglZhKwvUpg

The Valkyries took on Navi and were impressive last time out so lets see if this team can take on the Brazilan squad in FURIA!

Yes! I would have to agree with you on that one too!

Especially if the women's side for Imperial Esports looks like this

You can even see the Sportsbet.io logo on their player shirts.

Systematic Abuse of the Bug
The bug features in a strong majority of the team’s matches. At points in gameplay, at least one member of the team is consistently using the bug in an attempt to gain an advantage. It appears to be a constituent part of the team’s general approach to Dota.

The following teams fall into this category:
9Pandas: ~160 abuses
NAVI Junior: ~115 abuses
Aurora Gaming: ~50 abuses

Moderate Abuse of the Bug
The bug features in a few of the team’s games. It is only used occasionally, but usually in high impact spots involving Smoke of Deceit.

The following teams fall into this category:
Passion UA: 17 abuses
One Move: 12 abuses
Virtus.Pro: 11 abuses
Winter Bear: 9 abuses
Tundra Esports: 9 abuses
Team Spirit: 7 abuses
Team Secret: 5 abuses

Minor Abuse of the Bug
The following teams have abused the bug once or twice, and fall into this category:
Wildcard
Shopify Rebellion
Natus Vincere


Accidental Use of the Bug
The bug has been used by teams throughout the qualifiers, but the instances found were inconclusive as abuse.

The following teams fall into this category:
Nigma Galaxy
TALON
Gaimin Gladiators
M80

Not Suspected of using the Bug
The remaining 40 teams from our Closed Qualifiers have passed all checks performed by our team and there is no indication that they used the bug, accidental or otherwise.

Props to ESL for the thorough investigation of the smoke bug. The way they handed out the disqualification seems fair since they added levels on how many times it got abused by the teams.

The teams that fell under the moderate list were lucky to get away with it and only received a penalty.

This would've been more spicy if all three teams made it and suddenly got disqualified because of this bug. 

I was very excited to see imperial Female team at IEM katowice after they played against navi,

They should have won map 1 against furia but after losing that in OT didnt do much 

Still a very nice experience for them to play in a T1 lan

I personally enjoy to watch IMP FE so far and ANA is indeed the best female CS player without any doubts. She is from Romania , and here we are so proud of her because we know how much she worked to get on this level and how much hate she got at the beginning of her career so I'm really happy for her right now.

I think BIG vs Heroic was the most debalanced game so far and BIG is looking like they indeed the dark horse of the tournament guys so don't sleep on this team in future games.

On Dota 2 ...Liquid vs Talon is quite the game and hopefully Liquid will win this series because if they don't ...I'm afraid a disband will follow soon because it seems only luck made them TI champions in 2024 because they don't have any other important results.

And with BetBoom, one man is coming back and that's our boi TorontoTokyo standing in for kataomi.

Turkish team Eternal Fire will face off against the winner of G2 Esports or Virtus pro for the semi-finals of this IEM Katowice.

At first glance, I thought they were putting Torontotokyo on trial, but it seems like this could be just a one-time thing regardless of their results.

After their heartbreaking loss against Parivision in the FISSURE PLAYGROUND, the tilt factor for these guys just went up another level now that half of the old BB players are back together.
