Will we know the winner of Pentasia All-in League today?

With just five days left of league play it is still not decided who will win Pentasia All-in League 1 or 2. In this article we will take a close look at the possible outcomes and give you an update on the cup stage.
But first of all: Make sure to keep the evening of Friday 4th May free. The cup and bronze finals will be played at Luxol from 18:30 and the after-party will be held at Surfside. Transportation will be provided between the venues. Players, referees, fans and industry friends are all welcome to join an evening of competitive football while shaking hands with teammates and opponents over a drink and great food. There’s of course also the Awards Ceremony, where the new Fair Play Award will be introduced.

GIGsters United 1 have had an incredible run this season with nine consecutive victories. It seems safe to say that they will finally take down the League 1 title, after having been beaten on the goalline by Unibet last year.

The GIGsters are 5 points ahead with two games left to play, but last week’s fixtures makes the title race more interesting than what it would seem, as GIGsters are now playing against both of the top two teams, LeoVegas (Monday) and Bethard (Thursday). With a win against LeoVegas they are officially champions. However, if they lose or draw, or if Bethard win their game against last year’s cup winners ZP Services, then there will be a deciding league final between GIGsters United and Bethard on Thursday at 9 PM.

All of the teams in League 1 can either gain and drop at least one place in the table, so it will be exciting to see which teams are in form when it matters the most.

League 2 status

Betway seems to have League 2 under control and will secure the title with at least a draw against SD Services on Tuesday. But alarm bells will be ringing if they lose. In that case Betfair, the only team that has beaten Betway in League 2, will end up over Betway on the table as direct confrontation counts before goal difference. Aspire FC and Oceanwood can also end up on 33 points, and they are playing against each other today. Betfair beat Aspire FC who cannot win the league even with 33 points, but Betfair lost against Oceanwood.
So if Betway loses and Oceanwood beats Aspire FC we would have a tricky scenario with 3 teams on 33 points where no team can be crowned winner because of direct confrontation. The goal difference would then come into play and Oceanwood would probably win since they are 11 goals ahead.

The Cup Stage

Ten teams from League 1, and six teams from League 2, qualify for the cup stage which starts 16th April. Very little can be said about which will meet which at this point, but stay tuned for updates!

Pictures from the ASEAN Gaming Summit Poker by All-in Translations

Five tables were filled with happy delegates from far and near at the PokerStars Live Room in Manila, as All-in Translations’ ASEAN Gaming Summit poker tournament was played on Tuesday.
At the end, it was Igor Rus from Comtrade Gaming who earned the right to call himself the toughest gaming executive in Asia, beating Dov Allin from Marketing Cross Media heads-up. The winning hand was J7s. Tony Chan from Asia Pioneer Entertainment came 3rd and claimed the last prize from European Gaming Events which was an interview and an ad with iGaming Radio.
“I haven’t played a lot of poker before but it reminds me a bit of Mahjong. I loved playing!”, said Chan after he was knocked out.
Favourite and last year’s winner, Rhys Jones from Zustro, who also won the tournament at the iGaming Asia Congress in Macao last week, was knocked our relatively early. CEO at All-in Translations Roy Pedersen had the pleasure of taking down a hand against Jones in the following cash game with a straight flush.

Erin Varghese, also from Zustro, won the voucher for localization and/or content writing services worth $500 after knocking out Pedersen. Players were all-in before the flop and as you can see – that obviously qualifies as a bad beat ;)

Luis Pereira from Asia Gaming Brief, Claude Henoud from Real Time Gaming and Rhys Jones were all at the same tough starting table.

None of them reached the final table.

Pereira and Janice Leung were happy as always, and the team from PokerStars Live Room did a stellar job organising the tournament.

Pontus Magnusson (left) from Media Mirror won the Swedish poker championship in 2016 but did not reach the final table. Oskar Kallenbach from FrankFred did, but was knocked out before the prizes came into play. Here they are together with Henoud, and David Song from PokerStars.

Thanks to everyone that contributed and participated and congratulations to ASEAN Gaming Summit for another fantastic gaming event. We hope to repeat the poker tournament in Manila next year.

RTG Asia Completes Last Piece of the Puzzle for ASEAN Poker Tournament

With the 1st day of ASEAN Gaming Summit well underway, we are getting closer and closer to the highlight of the evening: The official conference poker tournament.
In addition to being a poker tournament with great prizes, this event will also serve as a social gathering for the gaming community present in Manila this week. RTG Asia will be sponsoring the open bar to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
The tournament is free to enter but only the first 40 to email asean@agbrief.com will get a seat (in addition, there will be a waiting list at the PokerStars Live Room at City of Dreams from which an additional 15 players will get to play). Buses will take the players from Hilton Conrad Manila after the cocktail reception in the C-lounge.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Join All-in Translations for a Game of Norwegian Fantasy

The Norwegian top league (Eliteserien) kicks off this Saturday, leaving Fantasy players from all over Norway with just a few hours left to give their dream team some finishing touches
Around 70 000 players registered for the official game last year – a figure that marked an all time high. This year, you can also bet on your Norwegian fantasy team at fantasybet.com. The rules and the setup is pretty much identical to the official game, but fantasybet.com will also allow you to make a deposit and enter different fantasy leagues. Some leagues last the whole season, while others are concluded after a few rounds.
We at All-in Translations have opened our own league (season bet) and we want to invite friends, colleagues and clients to join. The buy-in is £55, with 20% of the players winning the progressive prize pool.

This summarizing video makes for an excellent guide to picking players this year (be warned, it lasts for two hours and the panel is speaking Norwegian). I also found the Bonus Podcasts very useful when picking my team.
All-in Translations is a language service provider specializing in gaming and sports. Below you can watch some of our videos about Norwegian and Icelandic football fans.

WANTED: Good and Bad Poker Playing ASEAN Gaming Summit Delegates

All the details of the official invitational poker freeroll during ASEAN Gaming Summit are now confirmed. You can read about it on the golden ticket above.
Most importantly: The first 40 players to sign up via email to asean@agbrief.com get a seat. We will also keep a waiting list at the poker room (PokerStars Live at City of Dreams, Manila) from which another 15 players get a seat as the initial 40 players are eliminated.
While the winner crowns themselves the toughest gaming exec in Asia, there are other great prizes for the top 3 finishers provided by our good friends at EEGEvents. In addition to this, the tournament organiser All-in Translations will give out a voucher for localization and/or content writing services worth $500 to whomever knocks out their CEO Roy Pedersen.

The tournament is free to enter (but for delegates only) and will double up as a fun social event after the first conference day. Transportation will be provided from the conference cocktail reception at the Conrad C-lounge. You are welcome to join even if you don’t get a seat for the poker freeroll.
As soon as there are enough players we will also organise a cash game table (dealer’s choice Texas Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha). There is no need to register for this.
See you on March 20th!

See you on the road!
