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

[harizen]

Those who are interested in League play should be aware of a new set of skins available for this online game last week.
https://www.oneesports.gg/mobile-legends/mlbb-x-transformers-skins-release

The new set of skins is really attractive and it might kill my wallet lol. I'm currently in the progress of collecting all the requirements although, in the first phase of collecting sprays, I'm lacking several days -sigh-. I will make sure to be active from now as the upcoming new task is approaching.

Still, a long way and I think I can manage to get on.

Anyways, this is for MLBB PH. I don't know if in other regions, event times vary.

Have you guys seen the recent announcement of Stewie2K on his possible shifting from CSGO to Valorant? What do you guys think would be the effect on this on the CSGO scene if this change happens in the future? With that in mind, I do think that if he does continue with his plan of switching, this would also enable most players from the CSGO competitive scene to decide on switching to Valorant. With a player of his caliber, I do think that he will be able to adapt quickly with this set-up.

If you guys are curious about this discussion, feel free to check this link here: https://www.oneesports.gg/valorant/stewie2k-teases-switch-to-valorant/?fbclid=IwAR3pxV70NGqNNNIoz2qnRWufH6qvGAroqbTkhcN_e-s9k6w9vc8Bl76nv6M

There was some discussion on how people wanted to see some lines on valorant being available on a sportsbet chat yesterday, and now I see why.

If Stewie2k who is a top-tier CS:GO player decides to make the switch to valorant then I would expect a migration of others who want to follow his lead.
Especially if they have a better schedule and most certainly a paid increase. Who wouldn't.

I agree with you actually. But personally, from someone who played/invested 1500+ hours on CSGO and some 600 hours on Valorant, I can conclude that I like the latter more due to its consistency on the servers. For some reason, there will be times that I feel like I am dominating the whole game in Valorant but there are also times that I feel like I'm the weakest player on the team.

Unlike in CSGO servers, the game feels more consistent? That is why, I feel betting more on CSGO compared to Valorant even if pros from the former are migrating to the latter.

Can't wait for the LEC grand finals, I already took Mad Lions@1.75 (already down to 1.65) I don't get why the odds are this high but I think they should've been around 1.5 since their performance is on a different level just like the spring playoffs. Same goes to Fnatic for pulling off an insane run in the loser's bracket but imo Mad Lions will take this one.

Edit : The first few games was tight but Mad Lions pulled it off with the top diff. from Armut.

[rdbase]

Mad lions did it for the summer championships with a dominating performance.
Way to go and a deserving win for the back to back titles.
You did get them at great looking odds for a sure to win finals. So congratulations to you ralle14.

[finaleshot2016]

Since other games that aren't in the title have been posted here, I assume Valorant is also welcome.

VCT Master Berlin is on the way, and I'm still waiting for it to appear in Sportsbet so I can bet on Sentinels even if the odds are astronomically high.

Also, I'm assuming you're familiar with BREN esports. Because they won VCT Stage 3: SEA, they have a spot on VCT masters: Berlin. As you indicated, BREN is quite popular in MLBB, so let's show our support for them because they're in the same group as the Sentinels, the last VCT Champions. It feels like  TNC fighting OG in DOTA 2, miss that feeling.

Valorant is surely welcome to be discussed here.
Only just found out you can bet on it after creating the thread and you can only fit so much in the title as there is a character limit.

As per your question, Valorant Masters Berlin tournament begins on September 10 up until the 19th as mentioned in the link below:
https://www.vlr.gg/event/466/valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin
Usually the events are available on the platform a week before hand so you can check back to see if they are available then.

Wow, didn't expect a game that's not even 2 years old yet to have a big tournament being hosted already, I guess they really outdid themselves in selling their games to the traditional CS and FPS players. I think Tenz is the biggest player in the league right now.

[ralle14]

Earlier I was able to snag Fnatic at a decent odds, now it's already down 1.40 (tbh i'd still take them here). With the current standings Fnatic can't afford to lose this final match against EG, there's a possibility that EG goes all out here to avoid getting swept but i'm more confident in Fnatic. Aside from this they have to rely on BIG to take down mousesports if they want to come out on top of the three way tiebreaker. Crazy how all five teams still have a chance to qualify.

[john_nautica]

Does it mean that the tournament will be held through LAN game? I think that's much better since some of the teams have problem with connection and maybe some delays which might affect the performance of the teams. I'd love to place bet on CSGO and Dota 2, I played the game myself and it's entertaining to watch the live stream match.

Actually, I feel hesitant for some reason but Mad Lions have the best team synergy among all the other teams I have seen in the world. I watch LPL, LCK, LEC and LCS but I fail to find a team with such synergy.

You take DWG for example, the most dominant team right now. They have the highest skilled players in the world but even they don't have the synergy as Mad Lions because you will see Khan outplaying the enemy top laner or Showmaker going 1v5.

I think the closest any team comes in terms of teamwork as compared to Mad Lions, is actually FPX from the Chinese region.

I still remember the game between Mad Lions and Fnatic where Fnc had a 10-15k lead and yet Mad almost made a comeback and if not for Upset's heroics (player), the game would have been among the biggest comebacks.

[ralle14]

I'm not too confident with my CSGO predictions today and was planning to skip betting but good thing we still have some good Dota matches scheduled for today. With that said i'll take PSG.LGD@1.49 they currently have a stand in but still putting up a solid performance. Their playstyle reminds me of OG when they had 33 standing in as their mid laner.

Actually, I feel hesitant for some reason but Mad Lions have the best team synergy among all the other teams I have seen in the world. I watch LPL, LCK, LEC and LCS but I fail to find a team with such synergy.

In terms of the region, I agree Mad lions looked clean with their team fight execution and the other top teams are somewhat underperforming recently. It'll be nice to see if they could do the same against stronger teams and improve once more.

All these European teams stand no chance against those Chinese teams with due respect to European players. They play at a very high pace and when they meet these slower teams at the Worlds, they just win without having to do much. Mad lions as said above, have a very good team and maybe work together well but there is just no chance against those early fighting teams in the Chinese region.

I can't imagine what destruction a player like The Shy playing against someone like Armut will cause. I'll be interesting but I am sure once again a Chinese team will be crowned the winner or maybe Damwon Gaming can dominate as they did.

Have a few teams in the Intel Extreme Masters going on today so you might want to check out the tournament which has all the professional teams in there:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/esl-cs-go/intel-extreme-masters/matches

Fnatic is my favorite to win it and they are currently playing Sinners esports leading a map in their series.

[ralle14]

Testing out my luck on an underdog today and go with G2 map 1 @3.26 vs Sentinels, I think there's a lot of value on this one knowing G2 will have the first pick this time around and in their last meeting they manage to pull out a map pick win on Icebox. And in this series I don't think it'll be any different given that these two kept things close and handled F4Q with ease. Sentinels have the edge on this matchup but G2 should have no issues securing their own map pick at the very least.

Been watching Valorant too? Looks like it getting more popular as these tournaments go on. With over 21k watching the Berlin Masters today.
Their stream on youtube is streamline and their venue looks very nice:

Do you happen to be watching VCT masters Berlin (Valorant) right now? I'm betting with sportsbet.io, and I've mentioned in other eSports threads that SEN will undoubtedly dominate the group stage. SEN vs G2 recently had nearly 800,000 peak viewers, a typical G2 marketing strategy but SEN win. I hope that the number of people betting on Valorant grows because they are still comparing it to CS:GO, but if we look at the statistics, Valorant is making a name for itself in eSports and is on its way to becoming as popular as LoL and Dota 2 tournaments.

Markets can be seen here. Thanks to finaleshot2016 for the question of it's availability:

@ralle14 Congrats on the G2 map 1 win. I checked the score and it was 13-3 score it was a deceive win for the G2 team.

Blast Premier series for cs go is on and it looks like the favorites are taking their matches early on.

@ralle14 Congrats on the G2 map 1 win. I checked the score and it was 13-3 score it was a deceive win for the G2 team.

Thanks they had a solid performance from start to finish and I honestly wasn't expecting Sentinels to go down that hard.

Later I got this csgo ticket ready to go, odds aren't that great on the side of Liquid but they should handle things smoothly against EG.



Not sure if you guys saw this announcement already but i'd like to share it again since we rarely see these kind partnership.  

Make sure to check out their twitter as well since they currently have a giveaway.

Hi guys,

And it’s time for the BIG NEWS

I am happy to announce we are now official partners with Evil Geniuses!

[rdbase]

Just noticed while Evil geniuses were playing a match this weekend they had the bitcasino.io logo on their team jersey.
That certainly is huge news for both on inking this major deal with a professional counter strike squad.

Looks like the blast premier is heating up.
Get your bets in for the next match:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/blast-cs-go/blast-premier-series/matches

[rdbase]

For the Blast Premier matches later on today here are my selections:
There is Navi Vincere up against OG.
I think Navi will take it in 2 maps shutting out a poor performing OG squad.
The odds aren't that juicy for the 2:0/-1.5 handicap for Navi so I went with them taking 1st map @1.47x
Next there is Faze Clan vs Complexity.
Last time I took Faze clan to win they disappointed with a demolishing dropping both maps without any opposition.
So I have Complexity gaming to win @1.98x but I would imagine the odds will get better for this match as the day progresses until the start of the round.

Bets for this series can be placed to the following link:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/counter-strike/blast-cs-go/blast-premier-series/matches

[rdbase]

Just as expected Complexity won their match and with a 2:0 paying at odds of 4.20x.
Had this one but another match ruined the betslip. This match was sort of revenge for a former player of Faze clan joining on to there roster and making his debt for this one.

They look to be the favorites in this tournament having added Colderza but suffered a loss to Navi yesterday.
