While bettors are looking for sports matches to bet on, the esports industry is actively developing.
Not all games are considered esports. For example, competitions will not be suitable for those that contain an element of chance that prevails over the player’s skill factor. New games that add to the list every year should not go far beyond genres:
- battle arena
- competitive puzzles
- sports simulator
- real time strategy
- simulator
- fighting game
We offer bets on:
- main outcomes
- totals and handicaps by cards and frags
- results of rounds (cards)
- statistics of cards, players, long-term bets
For now, we recommend focusing on popular video games that have been written about in many guides, which means you can find proven betting strategies.
Overwatch
Overwatch is a fast-paced first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment with multiple maps, targets, and heroes.
Overwatch has a huge active player base of 40 million people. The Overwatch League is an international esports league with 20 city teams and the best players in the world. The 280-game regular season begins in February and concludes with a post-season playoff in the fall.
League of Legends
League of Legends (LoL) is one of the most popular online team games, belongs to the battle arena (MOBA) genre. LoL matches feature two teams of five players each challenging a champion to compete on the same map.
The goal of the team is to destroy the enemy base, which is located on foreign territory. When betting on a particular team, you need to consider which champions the players use.
Strategy
You need to evaluate the abilities of the players themselves, the strengths of the champions they control, as well as the chemistry of the team, its ability to combine champions into strong combinations. Caitlyn, for example, is known for her ability to destroy turrets early in the game. Olaf is well suited for quickly killing dragons.
Dota 2
An equally popular multiplayer online team game in the MOBA genre developed by Valve Corporation is Dota 2. The main task of the game is to destroy a strategic building at the opponent’s base.
It is protected by defensive towers located along three lines connecting the bases of the teams. Players are divided into two warring factions with five players each. Just like in LoL, in Dota 2 you need to make bets based on the capabilities of the heroes used.
Strategy
Evaluate the past experience of the team, the selection of heroes and the combination. If you see that two strong teams with an optimal assembly have entered the fight, you should think about the bet on the number of minutes – more than 48.
Fortnite
The popularity of Fortnite is growing exponentially. The game was launched in 2017 by Epic Games, and it took them only two years to create a massive event that attracted more than 2 million viewers worldwide.
Unlike direct competitors such as PUBG, the project from Epic Games uses crafting mechanics. Thus, in the game, you don’t just have to run, shoot and collect weapons, but you need to correctly collect resources and build structures. It is worth noting that all of the listed bets can be made in pre-match and live mode.
