CS:GO and Betting

[ImThour]

New update guys! The event will take place in November this year.

What is this tournament called? I will be searching for the name of it when they do get it together after everything in the world rights itself again.
Haven been following any of the major cs tournaments since early last year. So might have missed what they have it listed as on the odds provider sites.

I don't see any problem with such tournaments going online. Unlike soccer or basketball, people that compete at CS: GO don't really need physical space to perform their actions, and they're doing everything on their laptops anyway, right? People won't be able to watch them in a stadium or something, sure, but maybe that's even better for the contestants as they'll be less distracted than usual. At the same time, the win wouldn't feel the same without all that support, so I am not sure.
As for the concerns about playing worse online, it's hard for me to get it when it comes to a game like CS: GO.

Wireless gameplay and LAN gameplay can actually have quite a huge difference in online gaming, especially an fps game at that. Plus, the audience isn't really a distraction or anything, pro players wear an insulating type of earbud in their ears so that they are unable to hear audience reactions while still hearing audio from the game itself. Additionally, there's a setting of 128 tick servers and 64 tick servers. Yes, you can both play online and LAN, but having a LAN connection while playing on 128 tick can make a huge difference in playing, especially if you're up against other pro players.

In relation to this pandemic, it is much better to play inside the house and stop betting for a while because pro players can't play as this virus still exist. But if you are a fan of CS:GO you can play online with your friends and be safe inside your house. Which one will you choose, playing in unsafe environment or playing in a safe environment even if there's no one supporting you? You should prioritize your health first before anything else because in CS:GO, you have many lives and can respawn but in real life, you only have on life so you need to take care of it. LAN is also much better if you have another laptop and can play with your friends or sibling so that you'll not get bored no playing CS:GO. There are many ways in playing inside the house but you also need to prioritize the possibility of you getting infected outside.

Yes thanks for the update as all of the events scheduled have been shuffled around due to the pandemic and it is understandable. Some areas have very poor internet connects and it does affect the play of the game compared to having them played on a lan connection as usual.
November for Rio 2020 is one will check out on later in the year as it just might be changed as well since it is a long time away.

Due to the pandemic most of the events are postponed, I like betting in Esports especially in CS:GO, LOL and DOTA 2. We have still 7 months to wait in order to watch the upcoming ESL One RIO in November and for me it is really too long.  But it is okay for me because it is worth to wait because it is a major tournament where the best teams around the world are challenging each other.

it'll take place here on the forum or on an external website?

it could be interesting to have a way to know more about the event.

There are a lot of factors that affect  e-sports and tournaments in it. The first is that, yes it is obvious that e-sports doesn't require much of a crowd and can be done through online as an alternative, but the teamplays are different when on LAN and online. They can have faster responses on LAN as they are just sitting besides each other and most games done on LAN are better than done on PUBs. Lastly, online games varies depending on the place a player locates. If one is from the other country, it would be a disadvantage to the team as they would adjust onto another play with the other being out on the online server. Hence, CSGO tournaments are also not preferrable to be done online, many adjustments are needed.

There was a cancelled game for a match I was betting on earlier today. Which did affect the parlay with having it removed.
So yes, the connectivity issues can be a disadvantage to a player(s) who are more adept to playing on a lan with the responsiveness for their style of play.

May I know which website you were using for Betting? Also, I prefer single bets for CS:GO as the chances of getting an upset these days is high just because of it being Onine.

I haven't watched a CS:GO tournament in many years, but I do remember lots of people complaining about the difference between LAN and Online play. I won't revive the same reply to repeat myself though - I have a different kind of concern, which is about the possibility of cheating. As far as I know, there have been quite a lot of discussions about the teams allegedly using personal USB mouses with scripts on them or turning on aimbots/wallhacks in the middle of matches.

"Tournaments will be played Online instead of through LAN" means they'll play from their own homes on their own separate computers, doesn't it? Or each team might have their own rented gaming computers set up in line for the tournament..

If that's the case, they better find a team in each city the teams are based that would supervise them during the match. Otherwise, get ready for some "amazing, never-seen-before skills"

CS: GO and betting why not? If people can do online betting and online casino, why not with CS: GO. Nowadays, where COVID-19 can infect everyone, it is safer for all of us to stay at home and do this via online. Online betting and CS: GO is another way to lose boredom. CS: GO is one of the popular games that you can do betting on the team that you like.

Didn't valve but a ban on all kind of betting related to csgo?

They dont control the world, just their own domain and they restricted skins from betting sites so far as I know.   Shame as it was alot of fun and easy to do, some skins arent that useful for anything but cheap bets so I used to do that alot but alas no more.
There is alot of sites which trade CSGO skins into crypto.   We can then bet the crypto on CSGO games, so its just more indirect.

play bad Online as compared to their actual LAN performance. Do you think this will cause any ups-downs in the actual result of the matches?

Online would be higher latency, the main problem is entirely different regions.   If the ping is over 50 it starts to be a factor that can unbalance the game.   CSGO with global in the name does do alot to account for variation geographically but yes its a factor for sure.   It can alter tactics, play style and team superiority I think, its not entirely clear because it depends on training and planning to include this factor.   Peekers advantage is a massive deal in CSGO and considered OP by most (over powered).

Guys what are your thoughts on Fnatic reaching #1.
