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

Yes, even the bookies doubted Mouz because of their new changes in the roster, but it somehow worked when the favorites had a bad day.

I see, looks like I got really lucky here
It was also fascinating to see that Astralis almost staged a comeback against MOUZ - I watched the final map and even placed several lay bets against MOUZ at very short odds but unfortunately they held on.
I will surely keep following CS.

You previously asked why Spirit odds were so low against a team like MOUZ. As ralle14 mentioned it was to do with their roster. Same with Spirit as Magixx and Donk were the more experienced team members in these situations of being a grand finals so that is what these bookies go by when making the odds to give them.
This is MOUZ second title of a major for this year so far, so they will probably judge them in their next competition as the favorites when they face off against those same teams.
Anyways we have the Esports World Cup starting up so that should keep those who are interested in some top tier CounterStrike involved in the conversation just like the one for dota last month.

To answer that question, all you had to do was show the most recent maps where the teams faced each other. Mouz dominated Spirit with a 3-1 victory. And these weren't maps that were contested by both teams; they were wins with a large point advantage. That counts a lot towards the odds set by the bookmakers.

It's so boring when there is no big competition in CS2. Like nowadays...    However the good news is that there is only a week left for the Esports World Cup to be underway.

There is a prize pool of $2m which is crazy. Was there ever a bigger prize pool than this in a CS2 competition? By the way I hope Aurora make some improvement in their teamwork. After the recent roster changes they've looked problematic in even easy games.

The majors always put up a $1m prize pool, so that's surely the biggest one unless we've missed another competition.

As for the upgraded Aurora roster, their shakiness is expected, but still they've managed to qualify for Starladder. Their new additions to the roster are too good for them not to improve, and who knows, maybe they could pull off something similar to what Mouz did.
