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

[boltz]

As crystallis had parted ways with the Tundra Esports, there is now a new team that he goes and that's Mouz. There are currently 2 players there, the other one is seleri, a former GG support.



There are still three to go and it's exciting that this organization is going to have a come back in dota 2. It's been a while since we've seen them participate tournaments with a solid line up, they've participated on 2024-2025 but they didn't get the blend they need.

Yep , they are currently playing against Navi and it looks like it will be a quick 2-0 for Navi and once again Mouz will most likely fail to qualify for a major tournament and this org really tries to create a strong Dota 2 team like the one they have in CS2 but we all know Dota is way harder to make your way towards Tier 1.

The good thing is that OG looks decent after 2 years with currently playing against Zero Tenacity and I think it will be 2-0 for OG.

So since his exit from top tier CS2 competition, s1mple has won his first grand finals with his new team.
"BC.GAME won ESL Challenger League Season 50 Cup 2 after defeating Alliance in the Grand Final."

With the victory s1mple and his team books their spot in the ECL Europe Season 50 Finals on November 18th–20th, where an ESL Pro League Season 23 berth is on the line.

It was reported that he earns $130,000 per month at BC.Game which is more than any other CS2 player even in the top tiered teams.

Mouz lost against Navi. And right now, I'm watching the game of the new roster of Virtus.Pro against Pipsqueak. These new rosters are interesting to watch and they're not yet in full form because they've gotten have come together with practices. But, these orgs are hopeful that they'll be able to have some good ending. What's good on this Closed qualifier for the WEU is that, three teams are going to be qualified to the main event.

Valorant champions playoffs started today with G2 vs PRX series already played

Very very close maps but PRX finally took it 2-1

Next is DRX va fnatic where fnatic is 1.5 odds but i think DRx wins this

First time I actually bet on a Valorant tournament match to be honest and it was good fun to watch!
Placed a bet on Paper Rex when they were tied and on to the final map.
Thought they were going to lose once G2 reached 8-4 and it looked like they were going to run away with the match, so cashed out my bet.

Regret that I did now I see they won the match.
Did not have time to watch the fnatic one. So did DRX (haven't heard of this esports team, just like PRX before today!) happen to win?

DRX is a big team in league of legends. They won Worlds 2022 which is the biggest championship from RIOT.

They lost 1:2 against Fnatic, so not this time:

13:11 win for fnatic
13:8 win for drx
13:5 win for fnatic

What's good on this Closed qualifier for the WEU is that, three teams are going to be qualified to the main event.

Two of those slots are already secured by NaVi and VP. I assume the last one will go to Avulus unless Mouz decides to step up and prove that their skill ceiling is higher.

We also have the ESL Pro League S22 in a few days, and i'm looking forward to seeing FaZe and who they'll plan to replace after they manage to bring back Twistzz from Team Liquid.

You're right that NaVi and Virtus Pro have already taken the two slots. And as of now, Avulus and Pipsqueak is fighting for the last slot so Mouz is already out of the list as Avulus have eliminated them.



Avulus got 1-0 and the 2nd map is currently being played.

Yeah, it starts in less than 2 days and this is also a huge tournament. I might try to bet for some of the matches there.

I think rohang was referring the DRX team that are currently playing in Valorant against Fnatic.
And they could be a big team in League too but I haven't been following any LOL tournaments in so long I just couldn't tell you if they were.

Also for CS2 tournaments I am super hyped to see another major start this Sunday with ESL Pro League beginning too @ralle14 & @passwordnow so many thanks for reminding us that this one begins on a weekend.

Yes, I know he was talking about valorant. The game I told which was 1:2 win for fnatic was on valorant.

But DRX is a big org that already won worlds 2022 on league of legends, that what what I was saying, it was no new team that no one knows about.

The same way fnatic is a big org that won many times in CSGO and league of legends championships.

Yea DRX hasnt been doing well recently in league.

Right on about ESL pro league starting tomorrow.Its the stage one so not the top teams playing already but just the studio format is great after multiple LAN events

[ralle14]

Yea DRX hasnt been doing well recently in league.

True, after that insane run back in 2022, they lost all their players and kind of downgraded their squad throughout the recent years.

Or maybe that's why they had to sacrifice their league squad and shift their focus onto other squads for now.

The first stage should be a good fraud test for some teams because i've seen other teams forget their fundamentals once they start to play against the top-tier teams.

This is probably the reason why I had not heard of them before he mentioned them before.
I did not start watching League of Legends or following them until about two and a half years ago so it would of been around the end of their winning streak.

Waiting patiently for stage 1 of ESL Pro League Season 22 to kick off but it will be early Sunday morning for most of us who are in North America because this tournament is being held in Stockholm, Sweden.

Nothing surprising so far in the early games, and the other favorites will probably do the same since there's a significant gap in most of the matchups for the first round.



Also, i'm surprised to see Team Liquid participate in this small tournament called Birch Cup. Maybe it's their way of farming points while trying to fit Elige in the lineup.

Ence was playing in the birch cup too, untill they had to leave due to stand in for VP at ESL pro league

We did get a big upset already, as Furia lost 0-2 to HOTU 

In valorant FNATIC fans got yet another health related unfortunate news as alfa couldn't play and was replaced by doma mid tournament

However they still beat PRX today 2-1, after being down 9-3 at half on third map but won it 13-9 on a ATTACK sided Lotus map. terrible day for PRX 

[passwordnow]

Hey CS2 fam, what do you think about this bet? this is for the ESL Pro round 2. I'm going with the usual team that I know and that's Astralis against ENCE.



Two games are played right now for this round 2..

B8 - Hotu
3DMAX - Rooster

Yea decent bet, i was watching map 1, astralis forced OT right now, i think they have looked better and should win map 1 as well as map 2 after wards

I think odds are pretty good on heroic too, as m80 have looked really shaky in recent times, should be heroic all the way

ENCE forced the game into map 3 and it was a bad bet for me, ENCE made it and won the overpass map. That higher odd should have been it but that's it, sometimes we win and lose.

I think odds are pretty good on heroic too, as m80 have looked really shaky in recent times, should be heroic all the way

The game is live now, I think so too about heroic but I think this is it for me today with CS2 bets. As much as I want to try to recover with other games like with the G2. But I have decided to call it a day for counter strike bets and so, maybe tomorrow for or round 3 again.

[finaleshot2016]

Could be a good bet LR for a few bucks gain, they're very consistent with 93% WR.



Both teams are good, but I'm on PRX with 1.92 bet odds, also TH is playing really good and started the wins in MAP3. This PRX first lowers, after getting defeated by FNC (first lost). Currently live btw.

[rdbase]

Astralis seems to the losers of the opening stages of this tournament so far, losing both of their early matches to ENCE yesterday and today to GamerLegion.

Actually there were some big uspets with HOTU, B8, Legacy and 3DMAX all winning their matches against the favorites of each of those games.

Hopefully tomorrow we will have some of these pro-league favorites actually playing better than they have been so far in this first stage of majors.
Still alot more matches to go with this tournament running til October 12th.
