The post Keen Gaming triumphs at ESL One Mumbai after sweeping Mineski appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>Mineski was a surprise bolter into the tournament’s deciding series after catching fire with the inclusion of stand-in Kim ‘Febby’ Yong-min.
In the group stage, Keen Gaming was the first team to advance to the playoffs by whitewashing both Signify and Mineski.
Mineski only advanced to the playoffs the day after losing to Keen, beating The Pango in the deciding series 2-1.
The playoffs started on April 18 and Keen lost its first series against Natus Vincere.
Mineski performed very well in playoffs and destroyed TEAM TEAM to get themselves into the Upper Bracket Finals, securing a top three finish in the tournament.

After Keen lost to Natus Vincere, they climbed their way back to the Finals by eliminating The Pango, TNC Predator and then got sweet revenge against Natus Vincere in a 2-0 victory.
After Natus Vincere were eliminated, Keen Gaming were heavily favoured to do the job against Mineski in the final.
Kaka, the position five player from Keen, played three games of Nyx Assassin in the series — the hero was the first picked in each game.
Although Dark displayed his Disruptor a lot in the group stage, Keen definitely out-drafted Mineski by spamming Nyx Assassin in the Finals because Mineski never respected and banned this hero against him.

While Keen heavily relied on Nyx Assassin, Mineski also drafted Winter Wyvern and Earthshaker as their duo supports in game one and game two. Their early roaming over the map definitely provided the team a promising start but Keen always found their way to pressure and utilise the space Nyx Assassin created for them to regroup and push.
After losing with Winter Wyvern and Earthshaker in game one and two, Mineski finally drafted other support heroes, Bounty Hunter and Bane Elemental. They thought that changing strategy might able to give them a chance to comeback from the series, but Keen denied their hope after Old Chicken, the position one player from the squad, showed them no mercy with Ember Spirit, who reached 10 kills and Beyond Godlike streak without dying in the game.

]]>J.Storm, one of the direct-invite teams from the North America Closed Qualifier, will kick off its first professional Dota 2 game in patch 7.21b against Complexity Gaming in a best-of-three series on Thursday night, seeking to advance to the ESL One Mumbai main tournament.
J.Storm is one of strongest teams in the world and ranks 11th on the Dota Pro Circuit 2018-19 Rankings, highlighting how hard they have worked in the last six months.
The squad’s most recent professional match was against Flying Penguin in the DreamLeague Season 11, North America Closed Qualifier. They also took down Complexity Gaming in the group stage of the Closed Qualifier on February 5.
J.Storm drafted a hero that we barely see on the professional scene anymore, Templar Assassin, in game three against Complexity Gaming and J.Storm won the game thanks to Bryle’s fantastic use of the hero.

Bryle had a good laning phase against Lina because Lina was unable to break Refraction counts of Templar Assasin with the instant damage per second skill. So, Templar Assassin zoned Lina out of the lane when his Refraction was in use.
Bryle ended the game with 15 kills, only three deaths and 11 assists.
Further to this point, Templar Assassin is also buffed in latest patch. His second ability, Meld, is used to stack up the armour reduction. Previously, he only could minus maximum of 8 armour of the target, but he is now able to minus up to 16 armour of the target.
Both team drafted according to their strengths in the last head-to-head match-up and it was J.Storm that was able to win the game because of better gameplay and synergy.

]]>The post Team Team vs. Flying Penguins betting form & tips – ESL One Mumbai appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>Team Team will look to capitalise on its direct invite into the North America Closed Qualifier when they takes on the Flying Penguins in a best-of-three series to secure their ticket into the main tournament of ESL One Mumbai 2019.
Only one team from the match-up will be able to join the main tournament and the winner of this series will advance to face the winner of J.Storm vs. Complexity Gaming in the Upper Bracket Finals.
This qualifier format is double elimination, meaning that if a team loses twice they will be eliminated.
Team Team’s expected line up in this match-up is Sammyboy, Ryoya, Brax, Newsham and ixmike88. There may be a stand-in for Ryoya because Gunnar was subbed in for him in the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor North America Qualifier in the past few days.

Ixmike88 is the only star player in the squad, which is why Team Team have never been to any Dota Pro Circuit main tournament since making their pro debut. The team simply can’t compete with other tier one rivals lack the skill and heroes pool knowledge.
On February 11 Team Team and Flying Penguin went head-to-head in a best-of-three series. Flying Penguin came out of top by out-drafting Team Team in game two and game three.
Flying Penguin respected and banned Visage in every single game they played because Sammyboy, the position one player from Team Team, is very good at playing it. However, that match was under patch 7.21.

In patch 7.21b, Visage was nerfed because his familiars’ damage is reduced at level one and level two.
In addition to banning Visage against Team Team, Flying Penguin also picked Sven in every game in order to put Sven into a core or support role. This is a good strategy to confuse enemies and make changes to the position of Sven by analysing the draft of enemies in the drafting phase.
Team Team vs. Flying Penguins betting prediction
After running our eye through their heroes’ pool knowledge and last head-to-head performance, we give Flying Penguin a 70% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds and the uncertainty of Ryoya to present in this match-up, our recommendation is to go medium and bet on Flying Penguin to win the game at $1.44 or better with GG Bet.
