COPENHAGEN FLAMES VS ENTROPIQ

Two very great teams, the dark knights of tournaments, the underdogs and an absolute menace. There is no telling what can happen between these two teams so it'll be a very risky bet.

CF:

Ranking 81st, despite their low ranking, they are no joke at all. Defeating TRICKED, SANGAL, BLUEJAYS (twice). They have shown themselves to be very capable of taking those supposedly better than them.

THE one person THAT is LITERALLY carrying this team SOO HARD is regali. This man has 1.3KD and is consistent in almost all his matches racking up 30+ kills over deaths while his team falls behind well except for 2. Those guys are the ones that cover for regali if he messes up and can keep up.

This leads me to the question - CAN HE KEEP DOING THIS? AGAINST ENTROPIQ??

No. No one can be this good... This wont work against a big team like ENTROPIQ. Even if he is playing at the top of his game, one person can only do so much.

 

ENTROPIQ:

Ranking 30th, they have won against AGO, SPROUT and FALCONS with their latest match coming really close to beating 1WIN. They are even good enough to participate in major events like the IEM RIO and can perform ALMOST on the same level as even Eternal Flames.

So far everyone is playing really well and form is looking good. They can't lose to CF. I swear on my life.

MY PREDICTION:

SAFE ODDS - Entropiq winning. Possibly 2.5+ maps if CF plays well on their own pick with regali carrying hard (most likely).

Caroline Garcia was ejected in the opening rounds of Tokyo and San Diego before landing in Guadalajara. She stopped the streak but barely against qualifier Rebecca Marino. Her Canadian opponent struck 24 aces and was two points from victory when the Frenchwoman eked out 6-7, 6-3, 7-6.

Sloane Stephens extends her winning streak in Guadalajara to seven matches after defeating world no. 14 Belinda Bencic, 6-4, 6-4. It was her first top 20 win of the season and her biggest scalp in terms of ranking on hard courts since she made the finals of the 2018 WTA Finals in Singapore.

Caroline Garcia leads 4-1. The Frenchwoman has won their last three meetings, most recently slipping past 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 in the first round of Cincinnati last year. Sloane Stephens, on the other hand, claimed her lone victory in this series in Eastbourne more than 8 years ago.

 My bet: Caroline Garcia to win at 1.925 odds

 I will risk and bet against Mladenovic. Khristina beat Jacqueline confidently, but she is apparently in bad shape (4 defeats in a row). Plus, there was a nuance - Mlada was an outsider in terms of odds and rating. Here it is different. Here there will be a young and fresh Jean-Jean, who in the first round did not leave her rival Shmmdlova (not the worst tennis player) a single chance. the tournament has already lost several Frenchwomen today (Ponchet and Paquet) and the fact that so far all the favorites are winning, I think that it is necessary that of the two locals the one who will have more strength to reach at least the finals will go further. Jean Jean in this regard impresses me more. 
My betting pick will be Leolia JeanJean win bet365 2 odds.

MLB 

NY Yankees VS Houston Astros

Observation- This series is a very unpredictable series, But with the first game being a pitching defence game this game today will be the opposite. Both the pitchers in todays game have a era above 3 runs and a average of 4 runs per game per team, so today with the bats being suppressed yesterday with Justin Verlander, who struck out 11 in six strong innings wow. I feel today the yankees will win but with houston u can be sure that they will put up at least 4 runs and same with yankees. The last matchup before the series  was july 22 and it was a double header, the first game was a low scoring game like game 1 in this series but the second game was 6-7 for houston. 

Prediction is over 8 for 2.44

=> Tundra Esports win 1.729 odds.

Tundra Esports, which has become one of the possible favorites before the qualifications for The International 11. After all, the team is famous for such players as Neta 33 Shapira, Martin Saksa Sazdov. The team showed an excellent result at the DPC, taking first place in Western Europe. But the last tournament, held in Riyadh, was beyond the strength of the guys, only eighth place. If we consider the patch, then it does not quite fit this team. In the group stage, the team showed an excellent game, taking first place. The team has not yet lost a single game in this tournament. Of the nine matches played, six ended in victory and only three in a draw. In fact, no one expected such a result from them. Many predicted the lower bracket for them, but the team managed to shut the mouths of all the haters. Take the same match with last year's champions "Team Spirit", who have already been eliminated from the tournament. On the map, the European team outperformed the opponent in all aspects. As a result, easy win for Tundra Esports.

 

OG team that for the first time won two victories in a row in the grand finals of The International. However, the entire championship team has already left the team. The current players are performing acceptable for their level, so they will be able to compete for the third aegis. From the latest results, the team won ESL One Stockholm and ESL One Malaysia. At the Arlington Major, the team was only able to get to fourth place. Despite this, I think the team is more than ready to show themselves. OG got off to a pretty good start, although they managed to lose two games out of five in 2 game days. First EG, who surprised everyone with their results, and then LGD, who performed poorly on the first day. But in the end, the team managed to get into the playoffs, finishing fourth in the group.

1. Collins is fighting for a spot in the Finals. Last week, the American showed herself well in San Diego. True, a little unlucky in the semi-final battle with Vekic, where he had to concede in the decisive tie-break (4-6, 6-4, 6-7).
2. In Guadalajara , Collins very confidently advanced to the 1/8 finals, taking advantage of a easy tournament. Danielle defeat Dolhide (6-4, 6-1) and Freh (6-3, 6-4) with an exact score of 2-0 in sets. Note that in two match, the American gave her serve only twice
3. Maria Sakkari has a poor end to the season and has yet to secure a place in the Final Tournament. In the last seven tournaments, she won only six wins. And four of them managed to get on the ground in Parma.
4. At the tournament in Guadalajara, Maria started immediately from the second round with a match against Marta Kostyuk. We did not see a convincing game performed by Sakkari , but at the same time, the Greek tennis player used her chances at the recieving better than her opponent, converting four out of nine breas. Marta managed to complete two breaks, although she had 13 attempts in total (6-4, 6-4).
Bet: Danielle Collins win
Odds: 1.6
