Biggest Betting Events in E-Sports
Although gaming is widely popular and the variety of games is vast, only some have joined professional competitions, as many games are unsuitable for a tournament format. The three most popular are League of Legends, DOTA, and Counter-Strike.
Based in Germany, the Electronic Sports League dedicates itself to bringing gamers the best ways to compete in their favourite games. ESL ONE CS: GO, and ESL DOTA 2 are just some tournaments held worldwide, as ESL ONE has many different games.
The League of Legends Championship Series is another tournament, but as the name suggests, it is only for the game League of Legends. The developers of the game, Riot Games, organise this series. Riot Games also holds a world championship for League of Legends.
The International is where DOTA 2 enthusiasts can compete to see who is the better player. One of the tournaments with the biggest cash prizes; it’s not restricted to men only; girl gamers also join to test their skills.
Best Bets in E-Sports
Fantasy Betting
In fantasy betting, gamblers will draft their ideal fantasy team for a game, for example, Counter-Strike. This fantasy team will be composed of real-life players in the gaming world. Your team’s performance in real-life games and tournaments will reveal whether your team comprises good picks for each position. You get points for your selections doing well in real-life matches.
Most Popular Bets in E-Sports
Outright Winner
A straightforward bet that is similar across all sports, this is where you place a bet on who you think is going to be the winner of a match/game.
Team to Take Both Pistol Rounds
This type of betting is specifically for Counter-Strike, which has two pistol rounds, each bringing difficulty to the game. It isn’t easy to get both rounds, making this bet fun.
First Nashor/Roshan Kill
This one is for DOTA 2 and LoL, as Nashor and Roshan are one of the biggest obstacles in the games, respectively. If defeated, they provide your team with buffs that can quickly help win the game. This is why the team that is the first to kill them is more likely to win the game.
Event MVP
You have to be very skilled in a game to receive the Event MVP title. This type of bet involves making a wager on which player will receive the title. Many fan favourites also win, which is excellent because this type of bet offers high odds.
