As predicted, Furia won, and it was a very close match: Ancient 13-11 for Furia, Nuke 14-16 for Aurora, and Mirage 13-9 for Furia. And a detail about that Mirage map: Furia finished the first half 3-9, meaning they were losing. However, in the second half, they won 10 rounds in a row and closed out the match. It was incredible to watch!

In addition, Vitality and Spirit won, as I also mentioned here. And I still believe that Spirit will win the match between the two teams.

Fura is currently playing against G2 and just won the first map. I'm still betting on Furia's victory, even with the lower odds.

Actually it was an upset considering that Liquid is on favor to win up against Yandex and whats the worst is that it broke my parlay on which i thought it would go through after winning my Pvision bet and also ended with that upset and same goes with Falcon vs Nigma on which i didnt expect that they would really be that have that 2-1 in win of Nigma. They werent been able to shutdown Sumail.
Well, tomorrow on lower bracket will really be that interesting considering those who dropped on the top bracket will crawl down to beat up. Setting up another parlay for this one, just some side note on prediction on dota 2 already broken because of those unexpected results. 

Aside from Io, that Bounty Hunter needs to be banned too. It's such an annoying hero, and the track kills can accelerate their power spikes.

That series between G2 and Furia looked very even after the first two maps, but it was all Furia on the decider map Dust 2.

I'm also taking both of them later today. Even with the clean win that Spirit put up against B8 yesterday, I still can't find the confidence to back them over Vitality.

We have some very interesting games coming up today, and I can't remember the last time I felt this much excitement for the opening games of the main bracket. This match between betboom and 1win (who recently appeared on our forum with their signing campaign) isn't the most exciting compared to all the upcoming ones. But the games that follow will be very interesting: we'll see how Liquid will compete with the Falcons (the favorites), and I want Team Liquid to stay and keep playing. They're a good team, and they can do wonders and get out of the lower bracket. But it's clear it won't be easy for them.

Team Liquid was terrible, they choked for both games. Imagine that they've got aegis, on the lead and just have to end the game and yet, Nisha keep on fronting with that nature's prophet and being killed easily.

I guess twice or thrice did it happened and they continue to commit mistakes after mistakes. I think Liquid should have give that respect ban to IO.

It's not only for their mid but also to their carry. As for Betboom, they beat Iron Wing.

Yeah right, I’m sure many disappointed on Liquid lose yesterday and I thought they will continuously choke today against Falcon since Game 1 of the series is pretty 1 sided.

They manage got back to the game by doing the same exact dominance game by Falcon on game 2 and game 3. I thought are already done this TI since Falcon seems very strong on that early win.

I will keep riding Liquid on their lower bracket journey.

Pari vs TS is up now! Battle of the best carry on Dota 2.

In FUT, Xfloud's 1v5 Deagle ace made history. The most important match of the tournament is the quarterfinal between Team Spirit and Vitality today Zywoo is once again excelling at the most crucial moments, and the match is already on Anubis on the first map.
Let's see what happens in the FUT vs. Furia match. FUT currently looks better than Aurora, so they should actually beat Furia.

I would say that best carry for this era would be Satanic, but of course Yatoro is still that the known best carry but if we do compared it out on how they farmed then these 2 are beast but still Parivision did really win up and continue on the upper bracket and already secured 3rd place on this TI. We've seen also Nigma against Yandex but ended up for Yandex to win up for 2-1. That shitty Alchemist shivasguard item make me lost the bet because of Sumail. If he had just that make use of damage item rather than on armor, he might be able to go toe to toe with SF but thats not the case. 

We saw some great matches in the Esports World Cup quarterfinals. FUT defeated MOUZ 2-0 and secured a spot in the semifinals against FURIA. FUT really put on an amazing team performance. It was as if launX had never left—it felt like nothing had changed. xFl0ud’s performance is crucial for the team because the better he plays, the closer the team gets to winning. The PR transfer at MOUZ doesn’t seem to have worked out. If he continues this poor performance, it looks like they might part ways sooner rather than later.

Spirit managed to defeat Vitality for the first time in a long while, and perhaps the Vitality ERA is finally over. Both teams won their respective maps, but on the decider map, Spirit managed to comfortably defeat their opponent. I see a resurgence for Spirit, who once again managed to win the match thanks to donk’s incredible performance. apEX had a truly terrible game in this match, and we saw that reflected in his frag count. donk really stands out on the Mirage map, and he proved that once again yesterday.
