Haven't watched an eSports for a really long time now since the pandemic so I can't contribute much to discussion but I will follow this thread. Also, is it just me or this is the third eSports discussion thread?

This one is for posting betslips (hopefully for sportsbet as it is branded for such, but not mandatory) and getting some feedback for them.
Such as these ones:


Could need some help with my correct score selections.

I got mousesports to win @1.70 vs NiP , given the recent form of mousesports I think their odds are too good to pass up and o2.5 maps is a good alternative pick as their previous head to head series ended up in a decider. If I have to give some level of confidence on this pick it's probably 6/10 since NiP is a team that could always put up a good fight.

Placed the bet. Thanks!
Boosted it came out to 1.70x but before doing this it was 1.65x
All good, cause I paired it with FaZe at the Intel extreme masters. Got them at 2.30x when they were 11-12 down on map1 so they cleared that now.
I favor them in this tournament because of this article that was released a few days ago inregards to them playing back on LAN.

Also twistzz seems to fit right in on the team as he single handedly took out two players to get them to 14-12 then get the CT on pistols.
Thus securing the map to go 15-12 up.

Does anybody follow Valorant at all?
Haven't really looked into this Esport before. Are there even markets available to bet on these matches?
Just noticed there is a tournament going live at the moment here:
Valorant Champions Tour livestream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JUsz46iV4A

Very similar to counterstrike, just updated in their weaponry.



Has a Fortnite vibe going for it in the graphics department. But other than that it looks pretty interesting.

They are a big FPS right now although I don't know if the competitive is that big but, in my country a lot of established eSports icons are already hosting small tournaments although no a lot of broadcast are picking it up to give it to more audience. I think it's more of an Overwatch or Heroes of Storn rather than Fortnite because there's no build mechanic or battle royale aspect in Valorant.

Hopefully this will have an impact also with mobile games on smartphones, because most asian players nowadays used to be fanatic playing using phones conveniently. Mentioned games here was just available on pc, and to make it more accessible for everyone who's desiring to bet on sports betting I recommend mobile legends and other mobile apps to be included on this platform if there's no conflict that would arise.

I'm here.

I don't know, comparing to CSGO the game valorant more easy and friendly to be play + due every character have their own skill make the match have some higher unpredictable.

Valorant really potential beat CSGO for the tournament, as long Riot Game want to created tournament like LoL~xd

The international community more prefers to watch match tournament or play on PC.

I like Valorant but I don't watch the competitive games as much since I already spend way too much time watching the other titles like Dota, League, CS and sometimes a bit of COD during the weekends.

Looking forward to this classic match up OG vs Nigma, both teams met countless times so it could go either way and I honestly think o2.5 is the better play but i'm sticking with my gut and go with Team Nigma.

The international community more prefers to watch match tournament or play on PC.

I agree even though there's a few good esport titles on mobile I think the overall watching experience is better when you watch the PC titles like Dota or League.

[rdbase]

Agreed ralle14 & ryzaadit.
After watching valorant for a while noticed it's gameplay is nice to watch but cs go just has more focus on certain aspects which the other doesn't.

Here is a quirky but funny video of gamers comparing the two.
CS:GO gamers vs Valorant gamers:

I don't know if anyone was watching or betting on the matches from the WePlay Academy League for CS:GO yesterday.
But it was mentioned for the first time on these livestreams they allowed the in-play player coms to be broadcasted during the match.
Which was sort of cool to hear these while they were playing.
Although I was watching Young Ninjas so didn't understand the swedish being communicated between team mates during the match.
It was interesting to hear what was being said so to understand what was going through the players mind while they were devising their takeovers or planting of the bomb.

[ralle14]

I agree the voice comms of pro teams is very interesting, I haven't watched the Academy league but on the other tournaments they also used to share some bits of the comms and in a way you'll feel the atmosphere of the team.

Also Fnatic made an announcement it seems like they're dropping JW from the main roster.
Later I have Suning @1.43 (1.46 if boosted) as my esport bet of the day, even though LNG have the better record at the moment with 8wins and 3losses they're starting to crack while Suning is slowly showing their old form by taking down top teams like TOP, JDG and RNG.

Interesting info about Fnatic dropping JW. Which has been with the team as long as I can remember.
Their younger team Fnatic Uprising were playing yesterday in the Academy competition and there was one breakout start that the announcers were mentioning could play for the professional team. So they just might be the one to replace JW at his spot on the roster.

Quite interesting how this all plays out.

Valorant is just a substitute for Overwatch, with the latter being much better in my opinion because it employs a more different kind of play compared to Valorant where they tried to make an FPS that has power involved as if R6 Siege haven't done it already.

As someone who played CSGO for around 1550 hours, I would say that Valorant has some interesting aspects that sparked the interests of most players.

Counter Strike has been around for years. It has also been tagged as the King of FPS since its popularity is widespread throughout the years. Many FPS have attempted to re-create the same atmosphere that CS offered but they somehow failed to manage to encapsulate the audience with it. Now comes Valorant with the same fundamentals and skill but Riot introduced 'Agents' in which the latter offered respective unique abilities.

At the end of the day, my heart will always be at CSGO but the mechanics introduced by Valorant makes me want to play it more.

Today, OMG is facing one of the weakest teams in the league and I think there's some value in their -1.5 handicap given that every other team manage to keep a clean win against V5.

Also they manage to sweep other teams in the bottom of the table (RW, UP, TT) and they have to get a 2-0 if they want to get ahead in the potential tiebreakers.

Ah, this is League play.
After looking at your betslip I had to do some searching on these teams ans came up with this video from back in 2019.

Did it win?

I have been putting all my focus on CS GO Academy league this week sine it is done on August 1st.
Some really good talent the main teams can take on to their rosters once the tournament is over.

[rdbase]

WePlay Academy tournament had been good to bet on for me since the very start. Had my first bet at over 5.40x on one team in a parlay win back then.
Managed to get a solid win yesterday. As I had been following the tournament from the very start of it and had seen where the team's rosters had been going. The sub for VP Prodigy really made the difference. The new member on their team named MistR really did stand out and is actually going to be a permanent member start on August 1 according to his twitter.

[rdbase]

Weplay Academy league play is coming to end as the tournament ran through July 19 - August 8th.
It seemed the favorites are starting to win all their matches as I noticed from the start most of the underdogs did.
Atleast now we are beginning to see which players are more likely to be signed up with their parent teams to the main rosters.
