EXECRATION vs TSM Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nXctN +137 at BetOnline<\/a> | TSM -188.68 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Execration and TSM have met four times this year, most recently in April, during Berlin Major 2023, when they parted ways with a 1-1 draw. Three of the four meetings ended in a tie \u2013 the only exception was TSM’s victory at DreamLeague Season 19, two weeks before the Berlin Major.<\/p>\n

Based purely on their head-to-head record, TSM and Execration look evenly matched, but according to the top Dota 2 betting sites<\/a>, this is TSM’s game to lose. This doesn’t make much sense, considering TSM haven’t played a single official match since June.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Execration are not in the best form. They attended the Bali Major earlier this month and crashed out in 15-16th place without a single victory (0-5-3), which looks concerning. But even though Execration crumbled in Bali, they should do fine against the rusty TSM.<\/p>\n

TEAM LIQUID vs ENTITY Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nTL -833.33 at BetOnline<\/a> | Entity +450 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJuly 19, 2023 | 12:00 AST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch (https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/Gamers8GG)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Team Liquid are priced at +650 to win Riyadh Masters 2023, behind only Tundra Esports (+300) and Gaimin Gladiators (+200). While Liquid look a great bet to reach the final (+275), there is a good chance Entity will make them work for the win in this clash.<\/p>\n

Opening matches of Majors tend to be much closer, and that trend is especially noticeable this season. At the Dota 2 Bali Major, half of the first-round games ended in a draw; in Berlin, 43.75% (7\/16). That wouldn’t be a good enough reason to bet against Liquid, but Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi and his crew are known to play down to their opponent’s level, which makes Entity with a +1.5 map advantage a solid choice.<\/p>\n

9PANDAS vs OG Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\n9P -200 at BetOnline<\/a> | OG +150 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJuly 19, 2023 | 17:00 AST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

9Pandas placed fifth-sixth at Bali Major 2023 at the start of July and will now look to build on that success in Ryidah as one of the live outsiders to make a deep run. In Bali, the Russians didn’t disappoint with their performances, and while their run through the group stage (3-2-2) wasn’t too impressive, 9Pandas left a strong statement with their games against Team Aster (2-1), beastcoast (2-1), and Team Liquid (1-2).<\/p>\n

OG didn’t attend the Bali Major and were last seen competing in June at DreamLeague Season 20, where Tommy “Taiga” Le and co. placed 13th-16th. Still, this is a good team, and with S\u00e9bastien “Ceb” Debs back on the roster, OG are capable of competing for at least a top-eight finish.<\/p>\n

9Pandas look much better on paper than OG, but 9Pandas are also known to stumble in best-of-two series, which could make this game a bit closer than expected. A draw seems like the most likely outcome, but we’re getting far more value backing OG to win in the three-way market.<\/p>\n
