Fortnite World Cup

[dothebeats]

I have a question that what do you think is that these games haven't reached in sportsbooks yet. They are having a good hype at the moment especially Pubg and fortnite. Is it that they haven't reached to that level as like CS,DOTA, LOL or maybe the game is still in development since there are too much bugs and lots of hacks and cheats in these games or other reason?

Dota and CS:GO do have their own fair share of bugs in the game even in big major title competitions (a lot from Dota and CS:GO'd moments). Perhaps it's more on the reception of gamblers toward the game, and knowing that it's hard to choose one winner out of the 20+ teams/players on a single match, chances are very low to pick a winner and more often than not, people will lose the bet compared to just straight H2H against 2 teams trying to win it out in a single match.

Sportsbet.io and nitrogensports usually offers these kind of lines on esports titles, though I don't think they would offer it this early as there are little to no information available yet for sports books to work on. It would be crazy to see the lines and odds of each players though, especially on the solos match.

I'd take Tfue on the bet, Dubs will be second best.

Sorry OP for kinda making a little out of topic but I really want to know what people think about it.

Compared to those games, I consider Fortnite is on the same level. I think the sportsbook are just listing the traditional and has been adopted earlier. And they are still on that phase of thinking whether they should accept and add Fortnite to their books. About cheats and bugs, I don't think that's the reason, Dota 2 has continuous updates because there are bugs too but they are on the books. In CSGO and Dota 2, you can bet your items which I think has significant impact that the crypto bookies considered them as good market. I don't play fortnite so I don't know if its possible there.

Oh, stuff like this even exist?
A fortnite competition with best players, right?
Does this exist for other games— soft games preferably ?
I had thought of competition like this for popular games, didn't know they are legal or exist

This is really legal and esports industry is growing fast. Games like DOTA, CSGO, LOL are having yearly tournaments with big prize pool. Players with an exceptional skill can have the chance to make their passion a living.

Just this DOTA 2019 tournament where the price pool is already $30m.

I dont see any odds yet but I guessing Sportsbet will offer this?

This isn't available for betting on any of the cryptocurrency accepted gambling websites. You could request to add them through their official Ann Thread. If it is viable for them to add surely it'll get added or else they'll give you clear detail for not adding them to their list.

I doubt this has the volume behind it to truly warrant the crypto sites to add it to their site. This is a celebrity match, and it's nothing too interesting for avid gamblers cause they know this literally can go anyway.

The small niche sites that aren't too reputable are going to take this on at first -- we'll see where it goes from there.

We can't blame them though and their interest might not be with esports. They don't know that the industry is raking billions of money and many brands are dealing with organizations to create buzz for their product as a sponsor.

People seem to think that these games are just games and they can't be treated as something real. But now, the world is changing and esports is growing. Fortnite and Dota 2 are the games currently that has the largest prize pool for their tournament, this is real money folks.

I don't think Fortnite is much of an eSports title, it's fine for streaming I guess (though I don't like it personally) but I don't think it'd fit as an eSport.
LoL, DOTA, Overwatch, CS, they all require teamwork, coordination and skills; those are similar traits with classic sports.
But I see Fortnite as nothing more than a single player battle.

There are a lot of esports out there, there's smash bros, Tekken, Smite, Rocket League, and even Farming Simulator is now an Esports, I think as long as it is an Esports ready game, I think it can be one.

The only problem here is that I don't like Fortnite. Kids, the memes, I think this game is just used by a lot of gamers and streamers to boost their viewers and their popularity. I would love to bet on great players I know but that would not be a bet that I would do usually, I just want to try that out-kind-of-bet. Unless Shroud joins in.

lol . seriously ? those are video games on a console ( offline )   . i dont think they are fit to call an esports  .  when i hear the word esports the first few games that pops on my mind are cs go , lol  , dota  , mlbb  ,and fortnite can be a new addition becuase fortnite is also a pc game  .

im not a fan of fortnite but i know how this game works   . a tournament or esports would also be nice because fortnite is a trendy game right

I don't get your point.
Many sports, and I'd even say most of the sports, are individual in fact, so I don't understand why an e-sport couldn't be individual too? This is the first time I hear that.
There are team sports and individual sports, so why there couldn't be individual e-sports?
