ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread

Well good luck on this, the odds are horrible for my taste but still its close to 2x though. I would have taken this as well if the odds are abit better but sportsbets doesnt give extra boost on esports betting anymore so yeah otherwise this would be over 2x

Down goes our Faze bets, even though they lost that was an intense series from both sides, whenever I thought Saw was about to pull away Faze would immediately lock back in the next few rounds to keep it interesting. They got my hopes up when they pushed it to OT during the decider map, but this time they're on the losing end.

I'm still rooting for G2 to win the next series so we won't be getting two big favorites again like what we got for today.

Yeah I gotta admit that SAW are a good team but not to the extend that they would win against FaZe. It was actually pretty close on the 3rd map so atleast that game provide some good entertainment for me to watch

If they win against the next one which is Team Vitality then I got no doubt that they are going to win the entire series. This is going to be the biggest upsets of the tournament if they win against the huge favourites of the tournament lol

Unfortunately G2 lost so both favorites lost their matches today.
Saw had a very good chance to beat Faze but Mouz winning against G2 was something nobody thought would happen including myself. They were 1.38x prematch so they were even favorites to go on to the finals.
But Mouz seem to go into another gear once they are on the main stage of these events and beating G2 0-2 proved this.

As arallmuus said above it would pretty cool to see one of these teams nobody thought would make it this far upset Vitality over the weekend.

Do you know about XANTARES? He is like our most known player in CS world.    He is 29 years old now but still cooking. I believe he is still among the best riflers in CS2 e-sports. 

I play CS2 and watch a bit of it but I don't know about him. 

Anyway, age plays an important part for esports professionals. But I think that it's different with dota 2, in CS2, no matter how old the players are, it's true that they can still cook inside the game but reflexes decreases.

In Dota 2, most of the players that are quite old already have been performing poorly but that's still fine as they can switch to support roles.

G2 and Faze ended in 5th-6th.

G2 got off to a good start on both maps, but once Mouz had the money to force a gun round they started to feel the pressure against their executions.

They overpowered Mouz during the T-side of Dust 2 through duels, then once they swapped to the CT side they didn't know how to answer back.

G2 and Faze ended in 5th-6th.

Both underdogs came in prepared and the favorites have been somewhat shaky.

Speaking of upsets, this is my bet for today



The only reason I took this was because they were impessive against FaZe so yeah even if Team Vitality is the favourite to even win the whole tournament, its possible for SAW to win a single map. No one expected them to get through this stage and no one expected them to win against FaZe so yeah this could do this once again tonight

I like the sAW bet since I had them winning yesterday on my betslip. Just G2 ruined it since I had it parlayed together.
They are a much better team than you would think.
Team Vitality against them in the next two and a half hours then we have the last quarter finals with Navi vs MOUZ after that.
Would be really nice to see sAW vs MOUZ for the finals.

I have been watching CS professional tournaments for so many years. There is no way people like me wouldn't know about XANTARES. He played for BIG as well. There are many memes related to him on the internet too. 

I understand you of course if you don't watch too much. Anyway yes, the biggest problem is that. Aging affects most players very badly. Only some special players can still stand strong for longer than usual. Like Faker example in League of Legends. 



We are in the semi finals now... Vitality v SAW match is going on. It is the 1st map result. SAW did a mega work by eliminating FaZe but I feel like it is the end of the road for them. Still a good progress!

It was a good bet but yeah it sucks when you lose. I guess this is what happens when a team is outperforming a favourites team, the next team they play against willanalyze thoroughly their whole gameplay. Team Vitality wasnt even sweating there, it wasnt anywhere close at all lol

Anyway, close 1st map between NaVi and MOUZ but it seems that the final will be as expected between NaVi and Team Vitality. How many maps will there be tomorrow for the final game? same old bo3 game?

Best of 5 as most of these tournament finals are because losing two maps is so cruel to lose out on the top prize going out that way.

Yeah, was completely the opposite of what I was wanting it to be with the final matchups.
But we do have the best teams going at it with Navi vs Vitality tomorrow:

[ralle14]

Mouz kept it competitive even though they got swept by NaVi, it felt like we could've seen a third map if NaVi made some extra mistakes.

On to the finals, I'm siding with Vitality to win, they fell short last time in Dallas so I assume they wouldn't let this one slip away for the second time.

I still assume this series will be back and forth because NaVi is on a tear as well, i'm just not confident enough to back them up against this scary Vitality squad.

Team Vitality won, as expected but the 3rd map was pretty close

I was watching the game when I typed this and had to delete what I wrote after NaVi managed to pull the score from 11-2 to 11-8 but yeah they couldnt pull that massive comeback for the overtime.

I guess we are going back to dota2 after this huh, FISSURE tournament is starting with the play-in qualifiers

[Hispo]

I have got a question and perhaps some of you guys could help me out. Not long ago there was a new competitive game launched for PC and PlayStation called "Concord", it is very similar to Overwatch and Valorant...
Anyways, the game has been received with mixed reviews and some people have pointed out it lacks of actual benchmarks of quality for a game which costs little over 40 dollars.
Are there some casinos or bookies where I could find markets for competitive teams playing Concord? Or is the game so bad and lackluster it is not possible to find some actual serious leagues willing to host tournaments for Concord?

Thanks in advance!   And sorry if this had been already discussed on here.

[passwordnow]

A defeat on me for nouns and G2 x IG match.

Just so you know guys, while the CS2 matches are hot and Team Vitality became the champion for this year's IEM Cologne's. We've got some happening in dota 2 right now after the Wallachia, and that's the FISSURE universe. Currently, the games are in play-in and things are happening quickly as some teams have already been eliminated. Mouz and Yellow Submarine were eliminated but YS got a technical default and lose.

I have focused too much on other esports and as well as in life. After this tournament, I'll get to be depth as much with anything related to esports and the biggest tournaments are coming anytime soon for most of the popular games that we have.

IMHO, the esports community has grown bigger and wider and it's not about to stop anytime soon.

Anyway, as for Faker, I knew him but not really about xantares. However, there's this player IGN in the pro scene of DOTA 2 as ANTARES for sure that there could be a connection or antares was a fan boy of xantares.

It ended 3-1 for Vitality, but the series score doesn't show the full story. That grand final delivered more than I expected, they both lost their first map pick then we got two maps that went to OT.

The third map keeps on giving, whenever NaVi or Vitality loses a gun round they win one or two right back to tie it up.

Are there some casinos or bookies where I could find markets for competitive teams playing Concord? Or is the game so bad and lackluster it is not possible to find some actual serious leagues willing to host tournaments for Concord?

The game is still in pre-order through Steam so it might need more time before it'll have a competitive scene unless the devs themselves start it in the same way as Riot did with Valorant and there's no need to apologize since this is the first time that it was asked.

Great bet made there ralle14!
Team Vitality beat Navi up so badly and I was surprised they managed to get a map off of them.
Alot of competitive play during the third map and a few comebacks but Vitality were dialed in and wasn't going to be denied for a third time of grabbing a trophy in this tournament.

Also thank you for the explanation of that steam game not released yet by Hispo!

Thanks for your reply. I am expecting the studio in charge of Concord to start a competitive league themselves, because I see very unlikely for people to take the hype and organize anything by themselves, because of the relatively poo reception the game has had.
If the competitive scene of this new game does not pan out, I guess I will have to catch up onto the old time classic like Dota, League of Legends and s little bit of hearthstone.
It is impressive how many games as services are being launched recently and how so many have failed to catch the attention of their public..

Just placed a bet on the match being played in this tournament as PSG look dominant and the odds looked right.
Don't usually bet on DOTA2 matches while they are in progress but to be honest there isn't really anything to bet on today.
What is the next major after these play-in qualifiers in this league?

You're right, FISSURE is currently on the semi finals as G2 x IG has already been qualified and it is from the upper bracket for this play in. There will only be two slots for the main event so they take the first one. And there are only three teams left, 1win is waiting for the finals and as of typing this, PSG.Quest against nouns are already being played and the standing is already 1-0 in favor of PSG.Quest. If the 2nd map will be for PSG then we'd see the slot finals for 1win and PSG.Quest later. There are some other tournaments that are being played but the participants are like tier 2-3 teams still, if you have some time to spend, it's fine to watch but avoid betting as 322 are possible with those lowkey tournaments.

Looking at the schedule we got TI that's two and a half weeks away, if you're referring to FISSURE's next major tournament i'd say around 2025 based on the tournaments they've organized.

If the 2nd map will be for PSG then we'd see the slot finals for 1win and PSG.Quest later.

Nouns completed the reverse sweep and I didn't expect they'd take down 1win too when they're starting to look like one of the best teams in the EEU region after Team Spirit and BetBoom.
