This DreamLeague has been really unpredictable lately. I thought Talon would win against Parivision in their best of three series in GT2, but they got reverse swept. Same with Nigma Galaxy I thought YakultBros would win. And Aurora Gaming lost to BetBoom last day, but that one was I thinl is okay. But Talon winning Game 1 against Parivision was I considered an upset, right? Their odds of winning were really low.

Right now, I'm watching GG vs. Talon and Talon won Game 1 again. I just hope it doesn’t end up like their match against Parivision where the other team made reverse swept.
Hopefully GG doesn’t come back this time. Even if GG wins Game 2 as long as Talon takes Game 3, it’s all good.

I also thought of that too. In fact, I've bet for talon against Parivision and I was happy when they've won the first map. But during the 2nd and 3rd map, they've lost it. It was close but we can see that they can really beat good teams now.

They've beaten GG 2-0 straight. Ez pz for kuku.

Yup, we've missed this type of 23savage.

Was watching a bit of the GG vs Talon match. Did you think the patch affected the outcome of their match? It dampens magic by 15% doesn't it?
I think you are more experienced in these patches and their affects on the dota2 team gameplay than I am.

Watched the ending of the Nigma Galaxy match and it was a quick one for Talon.
Just started watching Yakult Brothers vs Parivision and it is looking good for the Bros.

For the IEM Dallas Grand Finals it was looking like MOUZ are the side who have a more believable performance in this tournament. Since Vitality seemed to limp across the finish line against the Falcons.
I predict another MOUZ win against the champions of the last major tournament in CS2.

Yeah, possible. Every time there's a patch, a good team falls because they cannot adopt it quickly. Usually, when Valve drops a patch during these important tournaments, they're really falling just like what happens with GG and Nigma Galaxy. But it's not an excuse to lose because everyone is in fair adoption of the new patches dropped by Gaben and so, if patches on the actual tournament. They've got lesser time to test it but whoever adopts more quickly, they'll take the advantage of it and sees the better upgrades of items and heroes and as well as the nerfs.

Parivision is always like that in the group stage. They're one of the reliable teams to bet on in the group stages, and it's also why I sometimes call them the group stage merchants.

That grand final win makes it 30 wins in a row now. Even when Vitality looked like they were close to dropping a series, they still made it look easy.

Anyone keeping an eye on the League of Legends EWC 2025?

The current LCQ is shaping up to be a solid indicator of what kind of teams we might see perform well at EWC 2025. T1 already secured their slot as the reigning champs last year, and with LCK ongoing, I’m almost certain the two remaining EWC spots from LCK will go to Gen.G and HLE (Both giants on LCK and even performing good right now). Both teams are outperforming the rest of the field right now and T1 as being 3rd.

The potential HLE vs. T1 matchup later on is going to be interesting and hype (because of zeus). Both teams show a lot of diversity in champ pools, and IMO, they’re pretty evenly matched when it comes to team coordination and game sense. T1’s been looking more consistent lately, though, you might consider T1 since they have good odds right now. (But if they perform average later on to their major threat HLE, I'm sure that they will all out in EWC)
 
Also, keep an eye on LPL playoffs—they could give us a good anaylsis on what team might perform well at EWC 2025.

If you bet on them in each and every single match you would be one happy dota bettor since they have won almost all matches in this tournament only falling to Aurora on Monday and Parivision last Friday.

Had no idea they were named after a crypto exchange:

Wouldn't have checked on this team to find out about their name change earlier this month if you hadn't mentioned about them,

I'm glad for Talon for finally catching a great sponsor and it looks like 322 games and late trows are not present anymore in their play-style and that makes me even more happier. Now it's clearly that OG wasted 6 months of 23savage career by giving him crap heroes , crap strategies and crap farming pattern because as soon as he switched teams and he is back to SEA , he owns almost everyone in carry vs carry and in my opinion only Satanic is better than him in current DreamLeague season.  

He is pretty good for sure and Talon was totally trash before this tournament. Talon really exceed my expectations, I thought they would bring in their trashy performance again


This isnt really an important tiebreaker though. GG - Aurora will play a tiebreaker that will actually determine the fate of either Aurora or Nigma on the next Esports World Cup. So GG is already on the invited list for the next Esports World Cup and if GG win tomorrow then GG will be #8 on EPT Leaderboard which means #9 Nigma would take the last spot for the Esports World Cup

If Aurora wins then naturally Aurora will take the last spot to Esports World Cup though so Im really excited with this game

Honestly, I didn’t know about this tiebreaker. Upon checking Liquipedia, I see the tiebreaker and that is BO3. Checking the groupstage 2 standing I think BB should be in the upper bracket because they have fewer map losses and games compared to Talon. That way, DreamLeague wouldn't need this tiebreaker. I support Talon, but based on the numbers (win-loss in maps), there shouldn't be a tiebreaker and BB should be in upper bracket.

But still I support Talon I'm still hoping for Talon to win this tiebreaker match for upper bracket. As for AG vs GG elimination, I’ll go with GG  I want to see more plays from Quinn and the team.
