All of the top predictors in the leaderboard don't have Fallen in their top five, so it's not looking good. The fifth is already revealed to be sh1ro, then the fourth hints at m0nesy, and then ropz, donk, and zywoo for the last three spots.

True, it's so common that even a few of the top teams coincidentally have the same betting partner, and some of them might've had no choice after Valve banned skin gambling sites on the jerseys of CS2 teams.

Is MouZ the best team in Dota 2 right now ? I would say yes and I'm proud to be a Dota 2 fan now when we actually finally have other teams than Spirit/Liquid who can play godlike Dota 2 but also have a great chemistry between players.

Biggest news is that Team Aurora kicked Toronto and Oli from their team and I can fully understand their decision to kick Oli but also Toronto because even if they didn't play bad at all , it their farming style that keep their team under pressure and all this pressure was upon Nightfall every game as no matter how hard he tries to win , his team doesn't give him great timings to put his farm in valor.

Now for the top 4 is was revealed to be monesy. We can say with certaint that fallen is not there.

I think he did not shine like the other players in the team but he was the reason for the resilience and growth so he could be the master in the behind the scenes where he worked for the team and for the players. The team mates should be very thankfull to him and this is enough for a man that is near retirement any day now.

I guess boltz is right about Mouz being the best, or at least in this WEU qualifier since it's never an easy task to beat Falcons.

I'd assume Liquid should be the next team to qualify later today, unless they also fumble this series against Zero Tenacity, which is like a tier two stack at most.

Over at the EEU qualifiers, Aurora and 1win are already in the lower bracket after they lost against Rune Eaters and BetBoom. It's already shaping up like a free qualifier spot for BetBoom.

Good news for the Furia fans! Molodoy from Furia won ROOKIE OF THE YEAR #HLTVAwards 2026

Congratulation to him on rookie of the year and also top 6 of this year

We will have the player of the year later today

They lost yesterday against Zero Tenacity and they moved down to the lower bracket against Nigma.Galaxy. And today, they've won against Nigma.Galaxy and they're moving next against Team Falcons. Whoever wins this TF/VP game is moving to the main even of the Blast major.

They did 2-0 against Nigma but I don't think that this will be the same on them if it's going to be with Team Falcons. And there's a rumor I think that kiyotaka will go back to VP to replace Abed. I'm not sure about that, it's just a rumor from the dota 2 community.

Yeah, only you were talking about their Dota2 bets on here so don't know who beat VPro was all. So it was Zero Tenacity, a team I not familiar with at all.
So who won from their match during the Blast Slam yesterday?
From my past viewing of these two top familiar teams matches in the past, I would sway towards a Team Falcons victory if I were betting on this one.

Ropz has been through alot of teams in his CounterStrike career.
So he does deserve any awards they are giving to him with the experience he has gained over the years.
He is like one of those kind of players that is the backup support or even as far to say the glue of the entire team he is apart of.

Very good to know when the Blast major is starting so to kick off the new season of the year.

One detail I noticed is that ZywOo has been among the top 3 best players of the year since 2019. Now that's consistency over 6 years. It's fair that he's where he is now. And looking at the awards and statistics, he maintains a very high level. He's truly unparalleled.

That goes to show how stacked this Vitality roster is, and I can't wait for the season to start again in a few days with the Blast Winter qualifiers.

We'll likely see these teams play each other again as another qualifier will take place starting on the 18th for the upcoming ESL One tournament, with four spots again for the WEU region.
