Its bitsler, tbh I completely forgot about bitsler though. Their last ann thread's replies were like 4-5 months ago and suddenly somehow the support account is active again. I thought they were out of business


I mean even if Im not betting anything, its just dumb to watch bo2 games though. Normally when the game gets to 1-1 point, the 3rd game usually are more intense compared to the first two maps. Glad that they actually change that rubbish bo2 system

Oh yes, that's them. I thought that they were just a dice site but it's been so long since they've been active in threads again. Maybe they're capitalizing the TI2025 and that's why they're active. Who's going to try there? looks like free bets.

Yeah, we don't like bo2 games. They really don't click that much and that's a points system but for eliminations and making the tournament quick, I guess that's how they do it. Best of 3 is still the best and we get to see who's got the best minds and IQs for longer games.

Congratulations to you and all Dota fans on the start of this event! Of course I congratulate myself, because I love the International I bet on the victories of each of the teams from my region, on Team Spirit and Bet Boom. The stakes are small, but this is done to increase interest. If someone missed the format of today's events, then I brought this picture. This is the so-called Swiss system, or as it was rightly called above Meat Grinder. It will be the beautiful games that we will all discuss.



By the way, guys, who's more experienced in this topic - tell me, maybe it would be better to create a separate topic for International?

Thanks for the answer.

Now the focus of all Dota players is scattered, because everyone watches the matches they like. I see that streamers from my country are scattered and switch between matches trying to catch as many bright moments as possible. I watch Spirit - WC and this already brings great pleasure. Bookmakers gave x14 to those who bet on WC to win. But these guys took FB and are now almost even with Spirits. I expect cool moments from Collapse on Shaker by the end of the match against Yamsun.

It was nice.
In summary: Ultrakill from Collapse, Rampage from Yatoro at the end of the game - a very good game for one of the first International games, which started quite evenly. And it's cool, because when the score was about 15:15 in deaths, then every bettor at that moment thinks "maybe I should have bet on the black horse?".
I hope if someone watched this or other games, then you also got a spectacular hour of Dota 2. Btw Aurora is a team that  can also belong to the region of RU. Navi from UA.
I'm glad that International unites the world so much.

As it usually happens, the professionals from Team Spirit were just testing their opponents, and the second game became a real rout of WC.
The final score of the second game was 23:1! And the throne fell after 23 minutes. Watching the last Internationals, I often saw similar examples. And often Asian teams are less susceptible to such dysmoral paralysis.

Commentators say that Team Spirit haven't found their form yet, they are "warming up". Well, it's not surprising, because Yatoro often wakes up 10 minutes before the game 

That was a crazy Bristleback game of Ammar! I thought my bet on Nemesis would win me that @7.50 odds. That was so close and that only means that there is no weak team on this TI. All are strong and even my bet with Heroic, I've seen on how good they were but still lack on how to end the series. Crazy matches indeed.

Exactly, right now, I am watching the Yakult Bros against Nemesis first map.

Amazing opening day at TI for sure and unexpected China region is doing the best and also impressed my the most with both Xtreme Gaming who managed to take out Spirit in a fashion 2-0 and also TideBound who destroyed Team Liquid in a quick 2-0 series ...so it seems this new logo of Liquid isn't lucky at all  .

Tomorrow we go again and plenty of great games starting with a banger between Falcons vs Xtreme Gaming 

Geez they really need to start this off proffesionally. Yeah he is a two times TI winner and probably would be 3 times soon but if he really did woke up like 10 minutes before the game then he really gonna has some issue for sure

Anyway, two chinese team won twice today huh this is kinda surprising for me.... Also as expected from two SEA teams they lost twice today. NA and SA teams are also having a bad day today, pretty much all within my expectation though. Those 3 regions are basically the weakest for now
