I mean, I can slowly make it up, but will take me awhile. I don't think that titan is still at 100% capacity, especially when playing against NiP and I think VP can take out Fnatic easily so those are my 2 bets for today
Edit: map is nuke for NiP vs Titan and given how Titan played Inferno, their nuke strats may not be up to date + NiP's god like T side plays on Nuke will give NiP the edge.
VP vs Fnatic on train is going to revolve around entry frags into A site (I don't think teams will try a B take as both teams' B side play are too solid to puncture.) I'm going with VP on that
for Merc vs HR, Im actually going to go with HR on this since you need actual inferno strats  . Mercs won dust2 handily cause its just an aim battle and Dig didnt have Fetish so I think people are over-valving Mercs from that win. This I think will be my risky bet of the day since HR might be sloppy but they still have something to prove (that LAN spot)

Why do you think that VP would easily beat Fnatic? Fnatic have been looking great so far. They have only lost one series since they placed second at ESL One. Unless VP play at their best form, I don't think they can beat Fnatic. A much better bet would be to bet on Dignitas vs VP. Dignitas lost yesterday quiet humiliatingly because Fetish wasn't there. He will be there today. I think their loss yesterday means that they have a much lower percentage today than they deserve. They are probably 50/50 vs VP when Fetish is playing.

Pretty much. Except when it comes to comments. TL has good moderation while hltv.org has basically 0. It is more like 4chan when it comes to the comments. For discussion I prefer the CS:GO subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/globaloffensive

Thats a good argument there. I'll give in and say it won't be that easy of a match for VP, but Train is one of the maps that VP is strong on (if we consider from recent games), but here's the interesting part of data taken from csgopher for recent games. in the last couple of months that fnatic played VP, fnatic lost 100% of the time that they started CT (and they'll start as CT on train since they are the home team) against VP. granted, the sample pool is too small to take part of, but that's still something to say. You could say that it's a bad idea to hedge a bet on that, and the last time that Fnatic played on train, they lost to Navi 16-11 (the game was August 31th so last week). if we look at VP, they have a 72% winrate on train so far. the game will be close, but I think VP can pull it out

Yeah, the only thing that might make me give VP a slight advantage would be the map. But only because of that game vs NaVi. Train actually used to be Fnatics best map. I'm not sure if that has changed now or if that NaVi game was just a fluke. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Na'VI did not play that well in that train game if I recall correctly and it was only because of Guardian going bonkers that they got a win 16-11...which is a lot closer than it looked I think. Fnatic just didn't have a T side iirc despite the fact they had shut down Na'Vi pretty convincingly on their CT side.
At the moment, Fnatic don't look that strong on Train, VP has been going ham in the last few games, and Fnatic looked shaky yesterday versus Titan when they really should have just stomped them. Granted the game was also a lot more one-sided than the scoreboard suggested, but VP are looking strong.
I'd put a decent sized bet on VP, but I tend to lose when I don't bet on Fnatic, so who knows?
The rest of the bets today will probably be (depending if I win VP/Fnatic)
NiP > Titan
HR > Merc
Dig > VP
In all honesty, Merc should beat HR and VP should beat Dig, but the %s look good for those teams. Dig will look better with Fetish and their strong CT side should be a good counter to VP's stronger T sides.
HR should just get roflstomped, but they have been known to beat some of the french teams on Inferno (and also stomped by Epsilon 1-16), and I think since it's their best map, there's really no better time to bet on HR if you're ever going to do it.
Titan CAN beat NiP but I hate Titan now so I'm going to bet against them all the time.

Wait really?

na, see if I lost everything yesterday, that only means that I'll be 100% on point today.
Right guys?

Was looking through my inventory and saw that stickers from Katowice are going for 2+ Euro a piece. Is the supply just that low or the demand high?
Edit: Sold a sticker from i buypower for 8 Euros. Wat.

SilverStar, if you wait like 6/8 months after a major ends, the price of the stickers just jump up due to demand/lack of supply.
That's why if you buy/bought a bunch of stickers from cologne, hold onto them for a few months and see what happens to the price.

I'm scared for all my skins.
You know how they say don't switch teams unless you have a VERY good reason for it?
I think I found the reason why I should switch to Fnatic. :3

Yeah just didnt expect such a spike. The ibp sticker sold fast but the others didnt so I'll wait and see. At least now I can buy an awp redline :D

There's usually not anything all that interesting going on in that subreddit that I like unfortunately. ><

Same here. I ocassionaly check the subreddit but much like the dota sub it's just a constant flow of whining and bickering.

Thank god. The moderation on this site is done by nuns or something. HLTV is way more relaxed / funny / entertaining.

If by relaxed you mean childish, by funny you mean gag-worthy meme spit, and by entertaining you mean like watching 12 year old's argue over video games, then sure, you're totally right.
